校長的話
暑假很快就過去了,本學年正式開始,你們準備好嗎?
這個暑假,最精彩的活動一定是巴黎奧運會,我們看到國家隊運動員有出色的發揮,展現了頑強的拼勁。中國香港的運動員更加獲得前所未有的傑出成績,令我們陪感自豪。無論運動員獲得的是金牌還是沒有任何獎項,我國的運動員均展現出良好的體育精神——「堅毅」。
當運動員最重要的是持續的訓練。在這個過程中,他們需要具備「勤勞」和「責任感」,持久地進行練習,更要與不同持分者「團結」一致地奮鬥,要在世界比賽中脫穎而出殊不簡單。校長希望以巴黎奧運會的運動員勉勵同學,我們在生活及學習上都可以以運動員作榜樣,培養良好的價值觀及正面的態度,向著目標努力。
今年是學校三年發展周期的第一年,以「持續發展合適學與教策略,組織跨學科及跨範疇校本課程,提升學習動機及興趣,發展具備靈活運用不同學習策略及後設認知能力的馬太人。」及「持續培育學生國民身份認同,透過價值觀教育建立正向思維、言行合一、樂意服務、對國家及社會有承擔的馬太人。」為關注事項,讓學生經歷不同的學習活動及建立正向的價值觀,以面對未來的挑戰。
「教 養 孩 童 , 使 他 走 當 行 的 道 , 就 是 到 老 他 也 不 偏 離 。」箴 言 22:6
The summer holidays have flown by, and we now begin a new academic year. Are you ready?
A highlight of this summer was the Paris Olympics, where athletes from around the world showcased remarkable dedication and perseverance. We were especially proud of our Hong Kong-Chinese athletes for their outstanding achievements. Whether they won gold medals or not, they all displayed one key quality: tenacity.
Becoming an athlete requires consistent and rigorous training. Our athletes showed diligence and responsibility, practicing tirelessly and working together to excel in their sports. Standing out in such a competitive environment is not easy. As your principal, I encourage you to draw inspiration from these athletes. Let their determination guide you in your studies, helping you develop positive attitudes and strong values as you pursue your goals.
This year marks the beginning of our school’s Three-Year Development Plan. We have two key areas of focus: (1) To sustainably develop suitable teaching and learning strategies and develop a cross-curricular, interdisciplinary school-based curriculum to boost learning motivation and equip Matthew’s students with adaptable strategies and metacognitive skills; (2) To continuously cultivate students’ national identity and nurture Matthew’s students with a positive mindset, alignment between words and deeds, a willingness to serve, and commitment to our country and society through Values Education.
As Proverbs 22:6 says, "Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old, he will not depart from it."
