香港中文大學校友會聯會張煊昌中學
學校簡介
香港中文大學校友會聯會張煊昌中學(下稱張中)於1991年創校,是香港中文大學校友會聯會教育基金會興辦的首間中學。張中以八大核心價值,包括關愛、團結、和諧、勤學、慎思、溝通、自律及解難作為學校發展的方向及學生培育的依歸,我們稱之為「張中精神」。
CUHKFAA Thomas Cheung
Secondary School (TCSS) was founded in 1991 and is the first school established
by the Chinese University of Hong Kong Faculty of Education Alumni Association.
The eight core values of TCSS – caring, unity, harmony, keenness to learn, prudent
thinking, communication, self-discipline and being solution-oriented – act as the
guiding path for our school development and the objectives for student
nurturing, and are referred to collectively as “The TCSS Spirit”.
中大校友 眾志成城惠學子
近年我們在語文發展、STEM教育及全人教育這三方面的發展不遺餘力。語文發展方面,在辦學團體及校董會的協助下,獲得不少社會賢達的捐助,得以在中文及英文科增撥資源優化教學,從額外增聘外籍英語老師至全校語文科實施小班教學。經過多年的耕耘,喜見學生在文憑試的成績及正增值數據的表現均呈上升的趨勢。有此成績,除了是得到金錢上的捐助外,實有賴全體老師長期堅守專業,表現出色的教學效能,及學生努力不懈地學習。從閱讀中學習,亦是張中全方位跨科合作的發展項目之一,學生從不同的範疇及興趣進行閱讀,並進行多元化的閱讀報告,更可讓學生發揮創意,善用電子工具進行匯報。我們希望可以透過這些活動改善學生的閱讀習慣,更希望藉此提升學生自主學習。除了語文科之外,我們亦在數學科實施小班教學,讓學生可以在更好的學習環境下獲得最適切的照顧。
CUHK alumni united as one for our students
In recent years, a significant effort has been devoted to language development, STEM education and holistic education. Regarding language development, with assistance from the sponsoring body and the Incorporated Management Committee of the school, we have been supported with generous donations to enhance our Chinese and English language education, ranging from employing more School-based Native English Teachers (NETs) to implementing whole-school small class teaching for both language subjects. A positive value-addedness together with an improvement in students’ performance in the HKDSE are evidence of years of our dedication. This result is not only attributed to the donors’ generosity but also the outstanding educational efficacy of our colleagues as well as the diligence of our students.
Learning from reading
is one of the cross-curricular developmental projects at TCSS. Students engage with books from various fields of discipline and interest and demonstrate their creativity through presenting their reflections with the use of electronic applications and tools. We hope to build up and nurture reading habits among students and encourage self-directed learning through the use of such activities. Apart from language classes, small-class teaching is also implemented in Mathematics classes to cater for students’ diverse learning need.
創科教育 啟發潛能展創意
STEM教育近年是香港教育界的大熱,張中近年在這方面的發展也突飛猛進,除了拔尖課程之外,亦開始發展普及課程,讓更多學生可以接觸STEM教育,擴濶視野及發展潛能,亦讓學生一展所長。例如運用太陽能板與微電腦結合,再配合學生在STEM課程中所學的電路設計及編程等技能,在學校的適當地方建設綠化牆。學生在科學研究方面亦有所突破,以「可分解飲管」及「自動檢測螺絲套件」分別進入「城市創科大挑戰」及「新一代文化創科比賽2022」的決賽。從以上的情況可見,張中在STEM方面已從書本的知識發展到把工件實體化至實際的應用層面。
Unlocking potential and developing creativity
through STEM
STEM education is highly prioritized in the Hong Kong,
and TCSS has been advancing in leaps and bounds in this field as well.
Enhancement courses coupled with the introduction of STEM elements into the regular
curriculum has enabled students to come into contact with STEM subjects,
broaden their horizons, develop their potential, and allow students to discover
and demonstrate their strengths. For instance, through the use of solar panels,
microcomputers, electronic design and programming skills, our students were
able to construct “Green Walls” in certain areas of the school
campus. Their entries to the final round of the “City I&T
Challenge” and “Hong Kong Youth Science & Technology Innovation
Competition” have proven their ability to visualize and apply theoretical
knowledge from textbooks.
全人教育 關愛校園顯真情
我們相信教育是潛移默化的。輔導工作、訓導工作及聯課活動皆是培養學生個人成長的重要元素。張中透過與大學及社區的聯繫,得到很多校外資源加強學生的輔導工作,例如實習心理輔導員、實習社工等;也申請兒童發展基金,推行「張中夢想起飛」師友計畫,協助學生規畫人生。此外,學生可以在課餘時間在張中的生命教育中心談天說地,透過桌上遊戲進行輔導。而「茶輔合一」亦是張中輔導工作的一大特色,透過「品茶」與學生進行面談,師生更易打開話匣子,輔導便水到渠成。訓導工作宗旨不在於處分學生,而是讓他們改過遷善。我們透過家校合作,讓學生除了改善在校內的言行外,亦要關注在家中的生活態度,讓學生可以從根本作出提升。聯課活動亦隨著時代的變遷及老師的興趣而更新,例如開設普拉提班,這全是由老師主動提出,把自己的興趣帶入工作的空間,與學生及同儕分享,提升師生對學校的歸屬感。「立新」以外,我們亦著重承傳張中的傳統,就以流行樂隊及步操管樂團為例,兩個團體每年皆有機會出外作公開表演,學生亦因這份榮耀而對學校產生歸屬感,畢業後亦樂意回到母校擔任助教,協助學弟學妹練習。除了對學生的關愛,我們也優化老師的培訓與專業支援,讓他們在工作中獲得幸福感。本校連續兩年榮獲「關愛校園大獎」四強的殊榮,印證我們在這方面的工作成效。
Holistic education on a caring campus
We believe education
is a series of incremental changes. Counselling, discipline and co-curricular
activities all play a crucial role in students’ personal growth. Through TCSS’s
various connections with the Alumni Association and Chinese University, a
multitude of external resources are made available for our students, such as
mental health counsellors or student social workers. The application for Child
Development Fund (CDF) has enabled the “TCSS Let Your Dreams Take
Flight” mentorship programme to provide guidance for career planning.
Students can also visit the Life Education Centre in their free time and
receive counselling over a fun board game or engage in chats while enjoy a relaxing
cup of tea.
The objective of the
Discipline Team is not to punish students but to promote improvement. We seek
to better students’ behaviour, attitude and character both on and off campus. With
this in mind, the collaboration between parents and the school plays a pivotal
role in resolving difficulties by identifying their root causes. New extra-curricular
activities, such as a Pilates class initiated by our teachers with the
intention to incorporate their personal interests within the workplace and provide
opportunities for interaction between our students and colleagues further help
strengthen the bond between teachers and students.
Alongside new ideas,
we emphasize also the continuation of TCSS traditions. Our pop band and
marching band both have opportunities for public performances every year, and
their sense of achievement and success always put a smile on the participants’
faces. Our students’ sense of belonging to the school is well-reflected by
their willingness to return to their alma mater to teach and coach their younger
counterparts after graduation, a gesture greatly welcomed and appreciated.
We equally attach importance to professional training
and development of our staff to facilitate a healthy and efficacious work
environment. Being awarded a place in the semi-finals of the “Caring
School Award Scheme” for two consecutive years is a testament to our effort
in this regard.
繼往開來 博文約禮育英才
踏入廿一世紀,世界變化很大,在全球經濟一體化的框架下,世界已變成一條「地球村」。張中的八大核心價值正是青年人應付新世紀變遷必備的素質,期望張中人秉持「博文約禮」的校訓,發揮「張中精神」,為自己、為社會、為未來作貢獻。適逢三十周年校慶,張中將繼往開來,為香港社會培育有承擔、才德兼備、具溝通創意及自學能力的優秀人才。
Carrying forward accomplishments of our predecessors and nurturing future talents
In the 21st century, economic integration and changes around the world have brought about a new era of a “global village”. The eight core values of TCSS are precisely what the young should be equipped to adapt to and flourish in this new age. It is hoped that TCSS students will uphold the school motto of “Broadening one’s intellectual horizons and keeping within the bounds of propriety” and contribute to thrive for themselves, their society and the future living “The TCSS Spirit”. As we celebrate the 30th anniversary of the founding of TCSS, we anticipate many more years ahead of nurturing responsible, creative, communicative and self-motivated students with integrity and talent.
