「以人為本」的MWS生活 |
2月1日起，本校恢復全日面授課堂。
梅窩學校一直「以人為本」，除了首要考慮學生的身心需要外，也關心家長的過渡期適應，故此，學校悉心編排全日課堂時間表，於放學前增設導修課，讓學生在回家前完成部份功課，並就學習難點向科任老師發問，以減輕學生和家長的課業壓力，更能妥善安排課餘活動。
學校是一個讓學生進步和健康成長的地方，配合全日面授，學校進一步優化校園環境和設施，以協助學生建立與時並進、活躍及健康的學習和生活模式。現時，每個課室均設有互動式電子白板或智能黑板，以增加學生的課堂參與度，促進更佳的互動；操場上設有大型抱石牆，於體育課教授學生基本攀石技巧，有助學生的體能和肌肉發展；校園內添置設有消毒系統的盛水式斟水機，讓學生能更安全地使用自備水樽添加飲用水。
每個學生都是獨特而珍貴的。他們的天賦才能各有差異，能力也有不同。作為學校前線教育工作者，本校教職員團隊會繼續同心合力，為學生打造一個充滿關愛、互相尊重的愉快校園，透過常規課程讓學生得到堅實的知識，同時從豐富的課外活動，發展學生的潛能，提升共通能力和多元智能，使他們在德、智、體、群、美都能得到均衡發展。
我們一向致力推動正向教育和閱讀。除了繼續透過正向獎勵計劃，打造正向校園，增強學生面對未來挑戰的必備心理素質，我們還積極推動電子閱讀，使學生緊貼時代發展，善用資訊科技帶來的好處，奠下終身學習的基礎，以面對21世紀的挑戰，為社會作出貢獻。
期盼同學們在充裕且彈性的全日面授課堂下，更能體會校園上下的煥新，享受MWS生活帶來的樂趣。

| Dear Parents and Students,
|
“People-oriented” Life of MWS |
From 1st February, our school resumed full-time face-to-face classes.
Mui Wo School has always been “people-oriented”. The physical and mental needs of our students, as well as parents is an important consideration as we adapt to full time classes. When organising our school programmes, we made a conscious decision to provide a full-day class timetable and added tutorial lessons before the school day started. During tutorial lessons, students can complete most of their assignments at school. They can also consult their subject teachers when encountering learning difficulties. By doing this, we aim to reduce the academic pressure of both students and parents, and help them better arrange their time for other extracurricular activities.
Students should progress and grow in a nurturing environment. The return to full-day face-to-face schooling allows us to optimise the campus environment and facilities for students to have active and healthy learning. We are fortunate to have many modern facilities at the school. Each classroom is equipped with an interactive electronic whiteboard or a smart blackboard to increase students’ participation and promote more effective interaction. A new bouldering wall has been erected in the playground and students can now increase their physical fitness and muscle development by learning basic rock-climbing skills during physical education lessons. We are also very pleased to advise that a brand-new water dispenser with a disinfection system has been installed, so our students can fill their water bottles safely.
We cherish every student’s independence and development. Each and every student has different talents and abilities. As the school’s front-line educators, our teachers and staff will continue to work together to maintain a happy campus, where everybody is cared for and respects others. Through our diverse and comprehensive curriculum, students can acquire solid knowledge. They can develop their potential through a variety of exciting extracurricular activities. With the enhancement of their generic skills and multiple intelligences, our pupils can thrive in development of morality, intelligence, physique, social skills and aesthetics.
We have always been committed to promoting positive education and reading. In addition to our reward program (Cow Cow Rangers Passbook) enhancing students’ psychological progress, we also actively promote e-reading. We believe students should keep abreast of modern developments and make good use of the benefits brought by information technology. This should lay lifelong-learning foundations for them to face the challenges of the 21st century while at the same time contributing to the society.
We hope that our beloved students will take a full advantage of our new campus and enjoy the fun brought by MWS life under the ample but flexible full-day face-to-face classes. |
With Love,
Principal Kwok Man Lai Eve |

新學年，愈益精彩！ |
2022-2023學年正式開始了！雖然目前仍維持半天上課，但學校已為同學策劃了愈益全面的學習活動和相應配套，即使在新常態的上課模式下，同學們的校園生活只會更多姿多彩！
課程動向
我們銳意強化STEAM教育*，本年度，學校參加了為期三年的「賽馬會運算思維教育」計劃，讓每一個學生能動手動腦愉快學習，從中啟發同學在日常生活中的數碼創意，學習運用科技造福人群，為瞬間萬變的數碼未來做好準備。
此外，老師們為豐富同學的全方位學習，已安排各級在不同時段進行跨課程學習，除安排同學就特定主題「跑出課室」外出參觀，在真實環境中學習之外，更通過對特定主題的整體課程規劃，協助學生把不同科目的知識融會貫通，以促進全人發展。
正向教育
我們從不自我標榜為快樂校園，若要定位的話，我們是一所「正向學校」。本年度，我們設有全新的全校性獎勵計劃 ── 「好學生獎勵計劃SuperKids（牛牛存摺）」，以正面、欣賞和表揚的方式，鼓勵同學透過訂立目標並付諸實行，持之以恆地學習及強化好行為，培育學生積極學習、愛己愛人、樂於服務、自律守規等精神：
範疇 |
代表牛牛 |
品德 |
黃色（節制）+ 紫色（靈性） |
學業及自學 |
綠色（智慧與知識） |
服務 |
紅色（仁愛）+ 橙色（公義） |
活動 |
藍色（勇氣） |
另外，我們以「感恩珍惜•積極樂觀」為主題，配合多項校本計劃，例如生日祝福滿校園、感恩點唱站、感恩＠MWS、感恩珍惜日、「小任務•天天做」等，以提升同學的幸福感和感恩之心；在德育公民課和各學科滲入十種首要的價值觀和態度，以培養學生的正面價值觀和締造積極和諧的校園文化。
多元活動
我們深信，多元化的課外活動有利於學生開闊眼界，獲得知識，並培養各種能力，更是進行德育和培養學生高尚情操的重要途徑。因此，本年度，我們與新常態學習模式接軌，回復如疫情前的課外活動安排，除周三的分組活動外，在周一至周五下午，以及周末，均會籌組不同類型的多元活動，包括學術、STEAM、體育、音樂和視覺藝術等方面。
暫擬的活動包括：雜耍、魔術、花式跳繩、環保小先鋒、小小科學家、3D打印創作、爵士舞、中國書畫、單輪車、田徑、足球、壁球、游泳、軟式排球、夏威夷小結他、非洲鼓、戲劇、指法打字學英文等，期望家長能多鼓勵同學參與課外活動，促進同學身心健康和多元智能的發展。
一如上學年，學校不斷進行多項優化校園設施的計劃，期盼同學在優美翠綠的校園環境下，同時配以先進的學習設備，讓同學在良好的學習環境及和諧共融的氣氛中迎接科技發展日新月異的挑戰，鞏固根基，擁抱未來。

| Dear Parents and Students,
|
|
The new school year is getting better and better!
|
The 2022-2023 school year has begun! Although classes are still half-day face-to-face only, our school has planned more learning activities and facilities for the students than ever. Even under the new normal of learning, we hope the campus life will be more stimulating and interesting.
Curriculum Trends
This year, our school will focus to STEAM education*. We are excited to have enrolled in a three-year CoolThink@JC project, so all our students can be equipped to meet the digital future, learn coding, build up computational thinking and get prepared for the future where they can use new skills for social good.
In order to cater for learning and experimental needs of all children, we are introducing all-round learning, where teachers from different panels will arrange to conduct several cross-curricular activities. Students can participate in a number of outings to give their learning context and authenticity. The overall curriculum planning on the specific topics will also help students to integrate knowledge from different subjects. This approach follows our aim to promote our students’ whole-person development.
Positive Education
We would like to distinguish ourselves not as a happy school but a positive one, promoting good values and traits in our students. This year, we are going to launch a new school-wide student reward programme – SuperKids Rewards Scheme (Cow-Cow Rangers Passbook), which should encourage our students to achieve good behaviour by setting certain goals. The scheme will be implemented in an appreciative and commendable way to strengthen students’ active learning, care for oneself or others, willingness to serve and self-discipline.
Areas |
Cow- Cow Representatives |
Morality |
Yellow (Temperance) + Purple (Transcendence) |
Studies and self-learning |
Green (Wisdom & Knowledge) |
Services |
Red (Humanity) + Orange (Justice) |
Activities |
Blue (Courage) |
Moreover, with the theme Be grateful and treasure what we have, stay positive and optimistic, we decided on a number of school-based programmes, such as Birthday Blessings in Campus, Gratitude Singing Station, Gratitude@MWS, Gratitude and Treasure Day, Small Tasks Every Day, etc. The ten priority values and attitudes will be infused into Moral and Civic lessons and various subjects to cultivate students’ positive values and create a positive and harmonious campus culture.
Diversified Activities
We are convinced that a variety of extracurricular activities can help students broaden their horizons, acquire different knowledge and abilities. It is also an important way to carry out moral education and nurture students’ noble sentiments. Therefore, this year, being in line with the new normal of learning, the arrangement of extracurricular activities will be similar to the way it existed before the pandemic. Apart from group activities on Wednesday, we are planning different types of activities on weekday afternoons and at weekends, including academic, STEAM, sports, music, visual arts, etc.
These activities will include: juggling, magic, fancy rope-skipping, environmental protection pioneers, little scientists, 3D printing, jazz dance, Chinese painting and calligraphy, unicycles, track and field, football, squash, swimming, soft volleyball, ukulele, African drums, drama and touch-typing, etc. We would love to expect, that our parents will encourage their children to participate in various activities to promote physical and mental health and the development of multiple intelligences. As in the previous school year, we continue to carry out a number of improvements on the campus facilities. We aim at providing our students with advanced learning equipment in our beautiful school so that they conduct exploring and learning in a rich learning environment and a harmonious atmosphere. Let our beloved students meet the challenges of this fast changing world through consolidating knowledge and embracing the future. |
With Love,
Principal Kwok Man Lai Eve |

踏入2022年，全港學校再次因著疫情影響而未能繼續面授課堂。梅窩學校於第一天的不面授課堂，以「網課啟動禮」引導學生認識資訊素養的重要性，並灌輸護眼知識；隨後的每一天，老師和學生依網課時間表進行實時網上課堂，同學們如常學習各個學科的知識。
暫停面授課並沒有中斷莘莘學子的學習。為促使學生的學習成效，老師製作網課專用的教材，構思不同點子使課堂更具互動性和趣味，同時讓學生得到適時回饋。另外，透過學校的網上平台，學生除能善用課後時間自學，亦有效加強師生間之溝通。不一樣的課堂，不一樣的挑戰，更見師生各自盡好自己本份的用心，也彰顯本年度的關注項目「持續訓練學生自學技巧和培養自學的習慣，提升學習能力」。
感謝梅窩鄉事委員會送贈口罩

牛牛特工隊
家長和同學們，你認識牛牛特工隊嗎？難道是我們平日常常看見的牛隻？梅窩地靈牛傑，牛牛仿如小島上的吉祥物。配合本年度的另一關注項目「強化學生的自律精神，推展積極正面的態度和行為」，本校特意設計牛牛特工隊，將正向教育中的六大美德與品格強項，化身為不同形象的牛隻，將正向元素形象化，有利於同學們理解、記憶，繼而實踐。
在未來的日子，牛牛特工隊會以不同的形式，陪伴我們度過美好的校園生活，並鼓勵同學們遇難迎刃而解，遇事積極前進。

優化學校設施
在現今的資訊科技年代，於教學中應用新科技以優化教學方法，既是學校的任務，也是挑戰。隨著各科資訊科技應用和STEM教育的發展，學校持續優化硬件和軟件的設備和資源，例如裝設互動式電子白板、添置LED大電視、更換桌上電腦及手提電腦和重鋪全校無線網絡等。期望各項優化設施有助本校進一步發展多元課程，能更有效地促進以學生為中心的學習模式。
這次，我以本屆北京冬季奧運會自由式滑雪女子大跳台金牌得主谷愛凌的正向語錄作結：「我覺得當一個人為了一個目標去努力時，不單止達到目標這件事令他快樂，努力的過程同樣值得享受。」同學們，在學習的路途上，我們不免會遇到困難，但只要訂好目標，堅毅果敢地向標桿前進，努力的過程都是令人難忘和一生受用的。 |

| Dear Parents and Students,
|
In my first ‘Message from the Principal’ I wrote to you how important for us, the education facility is that all the children enjoy school as a place where they grow, build knowledge and experience challenges.
Tailor-made Classes
Entering the year 2022, all schools in Hong Kong were again unable to continue face-to-face classes due to the pandemic. On the first day of our online classes, teachers conducted workshops on information literacy to draw attention of our students to several, important issues when spending time in front of computers. Students also learn exercises to rest and protect eyesight from prolonged hours in front of the monitors. On the subsequent days, teachers prepared interactive activities for online lessons to execute the curriculum of all the usual subjects. The suspension of face-to-face classes did not interrupt learning effectiveness.
In order to promote effective education, we provided several learning platforms, videos and games to fill students’ time and help with everyday challenges. In addition, through the school’s online platform, students could receive timely feedback from subject teachers. We concluded that, as a society, we use more and more computer technology and days spent online were as valuable as face-to-face classes.These online lessons matched perfectly the school’s major concern of this school year ‘to develop students’ self-learning skills and habits to enhance their learning abilities, with the aim to explore and establish valuable attitudes for lifelong learning’.
Cow Cow Rangers
Living on a beautiful island and being surrounded by cattle, we came up with an idea to use the image of our co-habitants to promote certain values and behaviors at the school campus. Cow Cow Rangers form the six virtues and character strengths in positive education.
We placed large, funny images of Cow Cow Rangers around the campus. We have been preparing programmes and games to help students understand how to implement desirable behaviour and deal with difficulties. This matches the school’s another major concern of this school year, which is to promote self-discipline and positive attitude of young learners.
School Facilities
With the development of information technology and STEM education, our school continue to upgrade hardware and software equipment, as well as resources around the campus.
We are replacing old writing boards in the classrooms with modern, interactive whiteboards. Large, LED TV screens have been installed outside of the main building. Software and hardware, like computers and monitors have been upgraded or purchased. The school wireless network is going to be upgraded to the newest standards. We hope that new facilities will help further implement a diverse curriculum and promote more effective student-centered learning.
Dear students, on the path of learning, we inevitably encounter difficulties and challenges. However, as long as we set clear goals and move towards them with determination, hard work will be rewarded. Let’s embrace everyday challenges together!

With Love,
Principal Kwok Man Lai Eve |

親愛的家長伙伴和同學：
我十分榮幸能夠接替退休的阮慧筠校長，成為梅窩學校的新任校長，加入梅窩這個大家庭。藉此機會，我再次感謝阮校長多年來的無私奉獻和超卓領導。
記得阮校長在退休前曾對我說：「多謝老師們對我的包容。」是的，梅窩學校的教職員團隊不但包容有愛，而且積極勤勉；我有幸能見證他們用心為新學年作準備，為學生籌劃多元化的學習。面對疫情帶來的新常態學習模式，本學年，我們的團隊有更多的相應措施，無論面授課堂、翻轉教室、課外活動網課和面授課、獎勵計劃、課後支援等，均一應俱全。
我堅信教育工作乃由心出發，透過全人教育，傳道、授業、解惑，讓學生發揮潛能，得到全面的身心發展，並能在成長的過程中柔韌地面對各種環境和挑戰，承擔責任，成為社會上寶貴的資源。
因此，由本年度開始的新學校三年周期，梅窩學校以「持續訓練學生自學技巧和培養自學的習慣，提升學習能力」為其中一個關注項目，繼續培養學生的自學精神和策略，讓學生有足夠的能力和恆常的方法去探求知識，貫徹終身學習的態度。另一個關注項目為「強化學生的自律精神，推展積極正面的態度和行為」，促使學生在學校裏，透過不同的學習計劃、健康政策、全方位活動等，享受自律且愉快的校園生活，從正向愉快的經歷中建構正面思維，培育高尚情操，提升抗逆能力，活現我們的校訓「至知至善」。
特別一提，本年度，我們將推展優化版的「生日祝福滿校園」計劃，學生可在生日正日或放假前最後一個上課天穿著便服回校，並由老師送上特別設計的生日襟章，於小息時跟校長合照。我們期盼每位學生都能夠在學校裏經歷喜悅，感受老師與同學送上的祝福，喜愛上學，愉快學習。
初到梅窩，不少人跟我娓娓講述梅窩學校的演變故事和各種挑戰。憑藉法團校董會對學校發展的全力支持、家長們的投入參與、校友們對學弟學妹的鼓勵關顧、孩子們的主動學習，縱使任重道遠，梅窩學校教職員團隊也充滿教育熱忱，貢獻己能，使孩子在充滿愛的校園中茁壯成長，鞏固根基，擁抱挑戰。
最後以本屆東京奧運會男子花劍個人項目金牌得主張家朗的話作結：「盡力上前打好每一劍。」我們各自做好面前的每一步，遇強越強，共勉！
期待在未來的日子，大家可以跟我分享更多梅窩學校的歷史和趣事。

| Dear Parents and Students,
|
I am very honoured to be the new principal of Mui Wo School and a member of Mui Wo family. I take this opportunity to thank Ex-Principal Yuen Wai Kwan for her wholehearted dedication and outstanding leadership over the years.
I remember Principal Yuen telling me that she was thankful towards the Mui Wo School team for their support and compassion. In the short time in which I have been the Principal of this school, the Mui Wo School team has been very loving and caring whilst demonstrating their proactiveness and diligence in their work. I am proud to be leading such a dedicated team in the planning and preparation for the new school year. Adapting to the new normal learning mode brought on by the epidemic, our team has responded with innovative measures to complement our face-to-face learning. Some of our innovative measures include flipped classroom learning, extracurricular activities, reward programmes, and after-school support.
In my belief, there are two main aspects to education firstly, to cultivate and deepen students’ love of learning and secondly, to nurture them into holistic individuals. Education should not only be focused on the acquisition of academic knowledge but also on expanding the boundaries of the students’ potential. We hope to strengthen our students to face the challenges in this ever-changing global environment and to become responsible and valuable contributors to society.
In the new three-year cycle of the school, Mui Wo School will continue to develop students’ self-learning skills and habits to enhance their learning abilities, with the aim to let students explore knowledge and establish attitudes for lifelong learning. The school is also concerned about strengthening students’ self-discipline spirit and promoting positive attitudes and behaviours, which encourages students to enjoy a self-disciplined and happy campus life through different learning plans, health policies and all-round activities in the school. With positive and pleasant experiences in Mui Wo School, we believe students can live up to our school motto.
This year, we will launch a more meaningful ‘Birthday Blessings in Campus Programme’ to make our students feel joyous. Students can wear casual clothes to school on their birthday or on the last day of school before the holidays. Students will receive specially designed birthday badges and take photos with the principal during recess. We hope that every student can feel the blessings of their teachers and schoolmates, to develop the love for school and to carry special memories.
I have heard many interesting stories about the challenges faced by Mui Wo School and how the challenges were overcome with the full support of the Incorporated Management Committee, the participation of Parents, the encouragement and care of the alumni for the future generations, and the cooperation of students. Through the ups and downs, the team of Mui Wo School have been committed and will continue to contribute to enable children to grow in our loving campus, consolidate their foundations and prepare them for embracing challenges.
I look forward to learning more about the history and stories of Mui Wo School.
Thank you!

With Love,
Principal Kwok Man Lai Eve |
