Board visits new school premises

Eight members of the Board of Education, led by chairman Moses Cheng Mo-chi, visited the new Aberdeen premises of the Canadian International School of Hong Kong.

After being greeted by school supervisors Li Hon-kin and John Crawford and principal Neil Johnston, the group toured the school and observed various classes in session.

Members noted that information technology had been integrated into the curriculum.

They saw that students were taught to use a wide range of software applications and that computers were commonly used in such subjects as science and graphic arts.

Although the school offers a Canadian-based curriculum and uses English as the language of instruction, Putonghua is taught as a second language.
