Learning Opportunities for Students

The department adopts an inquiry-based learning approach in our teaching of the Humanities and leverages on students’ day-to-day experiences to build interest and find relevance in learning humanities. Students’ thinking skills are also progressively developed from Secondary 1 to Secondary 4/5.
