The Activity Week Experience (AWE) Programme is an integral part of our school curriculum, with the purpose of providing students with learning experiences that go beyond the classroom and the school. During the Programme, students will have unique opportunities to learn either through direct experience or hands-on activities. We believe that these learning experiences will broaden students' horizons and inspire them with "awe" in their journeys toward whole-person development.
In addition, not only does participation in the programmes involve students' acquisition of an interdisciplinary array of knowledge, skills and values, but also project-based learning, a powerful teaching and learning strategy cherished by our school, which promotes self-directed and self-regulated learning as well as self-reflection. During the learning process, students are also required to use reading as a tool to construct knowledge and IT for interactive learning and communication among students and teachers.
The AWE programmes are organized under three categories: Overseas, Mainland and Local, echoing our mission to nurture students’ worldly perspectives on an academic and personal level. This year, a total of 25 programmes will be held from 2nd February to 10th February 2026.
Overall goal, aim and objective (課程目標)
● Goal - to mould students into Christian gentlemen with a global outlook.
● Aim - to provide a learning platform that facilitates the attainment of our goal.
● Objective – to enrich students’ academic grounding and diversify their perspectives as part of their whole-person development.
Knowledge construction and skills training (知識建構及技能培訓)
● Each programme is designed as an experiential learning process with a set of Activity Specific Objectives, which specifies the knowledge content and the technical skills the programme focuses on.
● Upon completion of the programme, student should have acquired a foundation of knowledge and technical skills in the subject area of the programme.
● Activity Specific Objectives are normally based on the nine generic skills (collaboration skills, communication skills, creativity, critical thinking skills, information technology skills, numeracy skills, problem-solving skills, self-management skills and study skills). Through the programme, students will practice and experience how these skills will really benefit them in different real-world contexts.
Value education (價值教育)
● Interactions with people outside of their social circles will allow students to have the chance to recognize their roles and responsibilities as members of a group, the programme and society; and to show concern for others’ well-being.
● Students will reflect on their own conduct, and develop positive values under the guidance of teachers in different, often unfamiliar, decision-making situations.
Key learning tasks (關鍵學習項目)
● The AWE Programme provides students with learning experiences that go beyond the classroom. Under the supervision of the AWE heads and teachers, students will consolidate their learning and findings in the form of guided studies during the AWE Programme.
● For each programme, the AWE heads and teachers will suggest a themed project where students will focus on data collection/dissemination and reporting their findings to their peers.
● Students are expected to produce something that reflects their experience either in written or non-written form such as models, photos, webpage, and videos, in addition to any other project-learning assignments.
● The AWE assessment aims at collecting evidence of student learning in terms of knowledge, skills, values and attainment in key learning tasks.
● The assessment objectives and marking rubrics are conveyed to students before the AWE programme begins so that students have a thorough understanding of what they should achieve and how well they may perform in each learning task.
● Each programme head has his self-designed program objective(s) and assessment model.
● Student’s attainment will end respectively in due course.
