Lesson Preparation
Students finish the pre-lesson preparation tasks according to the teachers’ instructions. Then, the tasks are either marked by the teachers before class, or shared and discussed by students in class. With the constructive feedback provided by teachers, students’ learning effectiveness is therefore enhanced.
Objectives:
- To use knowledge gained in the pre-task to help students construct new knowledge
- To enhance students’ enthusiasm for learning; arouse “curiosity”; provide students with learning expectations; and allow them to learn in a problem-solving way
- To strengthen the interaction in class, which allows students to become more engaged

Objectives:
- To establish a mutual learning, mutual support and reflective learning atmosphere among teachers

- To enhance teaching effectiveness

School Profile
Background
Shatin Tsung Tsin Secondary School is a government-aided, co-educational and Christian secondary school which was founded in 1985 by the Shamshuipo Church of Tsung Tsin Mission of Hong Kong. It has been rooted and has grown in the Tai Wai community and is dedicated to providing good-quality and well-rounded education for students in the Shatin District, realizing the educational ideals of implementing our Christian faith and values.
School Motto
“And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.” (1 Corinthians 13: 13.)
School Mission
We guide our practices with the Christian values of Faith, Hope and Love enshrined in the school motto, and follow the example of Jesus Christ who “ did not come to be served but to serve others ”. We believe that:
Every student has dignity, every student has potential;
Every student is educable, every student can be successful.
It is our belief that each individual student should not be denied the opportunity to have balanced development in the six domains; namely ethics, intellect, physique, social skills, aesthetics and spiritual growth. Guided by the principles of:
Respect: Each student does have his/her own unique identity, own abilities and values.
Trust: Each individual is believed to be responsible, capable of cooperation and collaborative activities.
High expectations: Each student is believed to be gifted one way or another, educable and able to thrive.
Plentitude of opportunities: Each student is given ample opportunity to tap her/his talent and potential, as well as experience growth,
we are committed to providing a learning environment that best suits our students’ needs.
