校長的話
各位家長、老師及同學：
「閱讀啟迪智慧．成就創建未來」是本校未來三年的學校發展主題，為配合新一周期的關注事項發展，學校於本學年推出全新的全日制時間表，新時間表以循環週模式進行，而下午課時增設「創藝學滿FUN」時段，透過不同學習主題、STEAM課程、閱讀活動及成長教育課等等，為學生提供多元化的學習經歷，從而達至身心健康和均衡發展，並更有效照顧學生的學習多樣性及啟發學生的多元潛能。
進入佛教榮茵學校校園，不難發現學生們都是面帶喜悅的笑容，校園設施如STREAMER Bus、Fun‘n’Roll Square、喜「閱」廣場、智趣苗圃 (IntelliGarden) 、禪修園地及各活動區等等，為學生提供了多元化的活動，但學生的喜樂，不單是來自校園四週的豐富活動，而是我們的教學團隊成功建立了一所高「FUN」學校，家長希望小朋友考取好的成績，獲得高的「分」數，最重要是啟動小朋友的學習動機，讓他們喜歡上課，對學校有歸屬感，「FUN」即有效、愉快的學習及正向的學習「氛」圍，所以學校在課程設計上，均著重學生的學習興趣為大原則，並以「高參與」、「高展示」及「高回饋」的策略，提升學生於課堂學習及活動的參與度及營造校園內的正向關愛文化。
新學年，我們將繼續優化學校的課程，並與教育局及各大專院校合作，參與各項校本支援服務計劃，從而提升學、教、評的質素，特別在英文科方面，本學年開始，本校聯同香港佛教聯合會六間小學，率先與香港教育大學合作，推出全港首創的「小一入學英文評估」，為新入學的小一新生進行高信度及效度的英語評估，從而讓教師了解學生的英語水平，為學生設計相應的教學計劃，提升學生在聽、說、讀、寫的英語能力，收窄學習差距。英文語境方面，本校共聘請三位外籍英語教師，外籍英語教師除協助課堂教學外，亦會豐富校園的英文語境，定期舉辦多元化的英語學習活動日，加強學生對英語學習的興趣及以英語溝通的主動性。
幼小銜接方面，本校一年級不設第一次考試，好讓即將升上小一的同學得到更適切的照顧及支援，學校亦繼續參加了教育大同的「感 · 創 · 做」全方位價值承傳計劃，我們利用常識科做切入點，並安排大量活動，好讓一年級學生能「從做中學習」，從而建立正確態度及學習不同的生活技能，提升學生的學習興趣及加強對校園生活的適應力及歸屬感。
配合價值教育及佛化教育的發展，學校亦會繼續優化佛聯會的小學正念禪修課程及青蛙仔課程，並於新學年增設兩節宗教科，透過宗教層面，培養學生的正向思維及積極樂觀的人生觀。學校亦十分重視學生的品德教育，本年度繼續推出「香港人的驕傲系列」，並成功邀請世界職業桌球好手傅家俊先生及田徑金牌運動員蘇樺偉先生親臨本校與學生一起進行講座分享，同學在愉快的活動中，學會堅毅、不怕困難、感恩、自律及為人生定立目標。
學校亦將藝術結合正向教育，新學年將繼續推出的「幸福的藝術」課程系列，於視藝、音樂、體育、舞蹈及戲劇課程引入正向元素，並為學生安排互動作品展，強化學生的正向思維及成就感，令學生學懂感恩、欣賞自己及別人，提升抗逆能力。
「FUN」「分」「氛」是佛教榮茵學校的重要價值，能實踐這信念，實有賴學校多年來獲得家長的認同及支持，在家校齊心協力下，榮茵的同學均能充分貫徹校訓「明智顯悲」的精神，成為一個品學兼優的好學生。

Dear Parents/Guardians, Teachers, Staff and Students,
‘Reading enriches wisdom; achievements build a better future’ is our school’s development theme for the coming three years. Closely aligned with our major concerns, a 6-day cycle schedule has been introduced with a series of afternoon theme-based lessons, ‘Creative Fun Learning Sessions’. They include learning activities with different topics, STEAM courses, reading activities and Personal Growth Education lessons to address our students’ health and growth needs, cater for learner differences, discover and extend their potentials through diverse learning experiences.
Entering Buddhist Wing Yan School, you will find our students’ genuine happiness. They enjoy various facilities here, like STREAMER Bus, Fun ‘n’ Roll Square, Read with Joy Plaza, IntelliGarden and many more. But the joy comes from within --- their effective and happy learning experiences in a supportive atmosphere; this is what ‘FUN’ learning is about. It induces them to discover and learn, strengthens their sense of belonging and helps them achieve more in all aspects. In short, the main goal of our curriculum is to motivate and encourage children through their frequent participation and demonstration.
This year, we will keep improving our school curriculum with EDB and some tertiary institutions to improve the quality of teaching, learning and assessment. For example, we will collaborate with Education University of Hong Kong and six other primary schools under The Hong Kong Buddhist Association to implement ‘P.1 English Assessment’. It has high reliability and validity and is unprecedented in Hong Kong. It helps teachers assess our P.1 students’ English levels and design teaching plans accordingly to strengthen their listening, speaking, reading and writing skills. It also helps minimize their learning progress differences. In addition, we have recruited three native English teachers, who aside from classroom teaching will regularly arrange diverse English learning activities to motivate our students, improve their communication skills and enrich our English language speaking environment.
To facilitate our P.1 students’ transition to primary school and adjustment, we do not arrange them to attend the first examination as other levels do. We will continue to work with EDversity through joining its life-wide learning programme, where our P.1 students will practise ‘Learning by Doing’ in General Studies activities. It helps induce their enthusiasm and strengthens their core life skills and adaptability.
To go hand in hand with Buddhism and positive values education, we will enhance our medication curriculum continuously, such as ‘Mindfulness Matters’ held by Hong Kong Buddhist Association. As moral education is of great importance, we currently have two religion lessons each cycle to nurture students’ positive attitudes on life. We would keep introducing outstanding Hong Kong people to our students as a source of inspiration. Last school year we had the honour to have invited the award-winning professionals, the local snooker player Mr Marco Fu Ka Chun and former athlete Mr So Wa Wai(also known as ‘Wonder Boy’) to share their successful stories. Our children learned the importance of perseverance, resilience, gratitude, self-discipline and setting of life goals through meaningful interactions with them.
Besides, we have combined positive education with elements of arts in subjects such as Visual Arts, Music, Physical Education, dance and drama courses. We will keep organising interactive art exhibitions to help students appreciate themselves and others as well as building up their gratitude, positive values, sense of accomplishment and adversity quotient.
‘FUN’ learning, with its unique definitions, is deeply anchored in our school vision. Dear parents, words cannot express our gratitude and thanks to you for your unwavering support over the years to uphold such vision. We believe with our cooperation, each and every one of Wing Yanians will be inspired by our school motto, ‘To illumine wisdom and manifest compassion’, and become a well-rounded person in the future.

各位家長、老師及同學：
轉眼間，本人接任佛教榮茵學校校長一職已一年，我十分感恩能在榮茵工作，因為學校擁有一班盡心盡力為學生服務的老師及支持學校發展的家長，在疫情仍未減退的各種限制下，老師們都能齊心協力，優化學校的課程及安排多元化的學習活動，繼續為榮茵學生提供優質的教育服務。
新學年，我們將繼續優化學校的課程及評估制度，並與教育局及各大專院校合作，參與各項校本支援服務計劃，從而提升學、教、評的質素。學校亦會進一步提升校本STEM、天文及環保課程的質量，培養學生創意、批判性思維及解難能力。校內的考試將由四次改為三次，為老師及同學創造更多的學習空間，並同時引入多元化的進展性評估，讓同學能掌握自己的學習進度，獲得更適切的學習回饋，鞏固所學。英語學習方面，學校亦增聘了多一位外籍英語老師，即於新學年，本校將會有三名外籍英語老師，豐富學校的英語學習環境，進一步提升學生的英語水平。學校亦會定期舉辦英語學習活動日，加強學生對英語學習的興趣及以英語溝通的主動性。
配合價值教育及佛化教育的發展，學校亦會繼續優化佛聯會的小學正念禪修課程及青蛙仔課程，透過宗教層面，培養學生正向思維及積極的人生觀。本校資優教育組與德公組亦會繼續在德育課時段推出「香港人的驕傲系列」，透過分享及交流，讓同學能學習到堅毅、勇敢、熱情與幹勁及希望等品格強項，同時，本校亦正籌備「幸福的藝術」課程，為同學安排互動作品展，讓同學透過作品分享，認識自己及他人，從而進一步找到自己的品格強項，並能應用於學習及日常生活當中。
幼小銜接方面，過去三年疫情的影響，我們深深感受到即將升上小一的同學有需要得到更大的支援，所以，學校參加了教育大同的「感 · 創 · 做」全方位價值承傳計劃，我們利用常識科做切入點，並安排大量活動，好讓學生能「從做中學習」，從而建立正確態度及學習不同的生活技能，提升學生的學習興趣及加強對校園生活的適應力及歸屬感。
踏入榮茵學校，校長已感受到學校的優良校風，這也是學校連續多年獲得關愛校園獎項的原因。同學們十分有禮貌，不但主動向老師及同學打招呼，而且亦樂於服務，主動幫助身邊的人。學業上，同學亦能主動學習，投入課堂，可見榮茵的同學能充分貫徹校訓「明智顯悲」的精神，成為一個品學兼優的好學生。雖然受疫情的影響，但榮茵的同學亦能主動參與不同的校外比賽，不但於STEM及體育活動上獲取很多佳績，亦在學科上奪得多個大獎，例如同學於香港創新教育學會獲得人工智能編程比賽季軍、亦有同學於全國青少年語文知識大賽獲得一等獎及二等獎，而學校英語話劇組亦於香港學校戲劇節英語組獲得傑出導演、傑出劇本、傑出合作、傑出影音效果、傑出整體演出及合共九名同學獲得傑出演員獎，成績驕人。
佛教榮茵學校漸漸已成為區內一所高「FUN」學校，學生表現不斷進步，正是學校均能做到高「分」及高「FUN」的成果。學生不但成績有所提升，亦能有效及愉快地學習，而更重要就是學校能提供學生一個良好的學習「氛」圍，讓同學能在關愛的學習環境中成長。現在就讓我們繼續努力，延續這份高「FUN」精神。校長十分有信心，在榮茵學校讀書的同學，在六年小學生活裏，必定會感受到榮茵校園的「FUN」「分」「氛」!

Dear Parents/Guardians, Teachers, Staff and Students,
It is a precious and remarkable year for me to have served in Buddhist Wing Yan School, witnessing our teachers’ and parents’ continuous dedication to our school. Given the challenges arising from the COVID-19 pandemic, our teachers have been striving collaboratively to provide our students with quality education through optimising the school-based curriculum and organising diversified learning activities.
In the coming school year, we will continue to enhance our school curriculum and assessment policy, such as working with EDB and tertiary institutions by joining different school-based support services to improve our teaching, learning and assessment systems. To strengthen students’ creativity, critical thinking and problem-solving skills, our STEM, astronomy and environmental protection courses will be further developed. The school examination will be held three times to create more room for learning and sustainable feedback, such as diversified formative assessments. There will be three native English teachers to help enrich our English learning atmosphere. English activities will be held regularly to motivate our students in communicating in English.
To echo our school’s value and Buddhist education, classes like ‘Mindfulness Matters’ and positive meditation courses by Hong Kong Buddhist Association are refined constantly to foster students’ positive attitudes. Our Gifted Education Team and Moral and Civic Education Team cooperate to develop student’ good character traits such as resilience, courage, enthusiasm and hope through moral education workshops. We are also building up our school-based curriculum related to well-being, in which students can appreciate one another’s talents and strengths and apply them in their daily lives, for instance, through the interactive art exhibition with the theme of wellness and gratitude.
To ensure our P1 students’ smooth transition from kindergarten to primary school especially under the pandemic these years, we have joined Jockey Club’s ‘Learning By Doing’ Academy. We have started with General Studies, which introduces students to different activities to learn by doing. It benefits our students a great deal by establishing their basic life skills and positive attitudes; it helps with their adaptation to the new environment, enhances their motivation in learning and sense of belonging to our family.
Our school has been awarded under Caring School Award Scheme for years as our students are polite and sincere to teachers, staff members and their peers. They are highly engaged not only in lessons but also in services to the community in response to our school motto, ‘To illumine wisdom and manifest compassion’. Through joining various inter-school competitions and winning many prizes, Wing Yanians have proved their talents, hard work and perseverance especially in challenging times. Many have won prizes in academic, STEM and sports contests, such as the second runner-up in the Artificial Intelligence Programming Contest held by HKITEC, first and second prizes in the nationwide language contest held by HKCHS, Awards for Outstanding Director, Script, Cooperation, Stage Effect, Overall Performance and Performers in the Hong Kong School Drama Festival (English Group).
With the efforts of our teachers and students, our school has gradually become well-known as a ‘Fun’ school, meaning ‘enjoyable and exciting’ in English, while in Chinese pronunciation ‘Fun’ could refer to ‘marks’ or ‘atmosphere’. We aim to help our Wing Yanians, throughout their six remarkable years, to have great improvement and achievements while enjoying the process in our learning and caring atmosphere.

各位家長、老師及同學：
大家好！我是孫偉文校長，很高興在新學年加入「榮茵」這個大家庭。我很喜歡用「家庭」來形容學校的生活，因為老師們正是孩子們在學校中的「家長」，培育他們成才。學校過去連續六年取得「關愛校園」的大獎，正正反映「榮茵」這個大家庭能讓我們的孩子在關愛的「家」中學習、成長。
作為「榮茵」新一任校長，我會致力為我們的同學提供優質的教育服務。我深信每個孩子都各有天賦，只要得到老師們悉心的栽培，潛能自然獲得釋放。「榮茵」擁有優質的教育團隊，亦具備完善的學校設施及豐富的教學資源。過去多年，老師們積極推動學校課程發展，除不斷優化電子教學外，亦引入專業團體顧問，大大提升了學生的學習質素。學校推行資優教育課程已超過十年，讓不同能力的同學獲得有效的照顧；而能力較高的同學亦能進一步提升創意及解難能力。因此，「榮茵」的同學無論在學術或活動，均屢創佳績，獲獎無數。此外，學校近年亦積極推動STEM教育及環保教育，進一步裝備同學應付未來社會發展的需要。
最後，我要感謝各位家長多年來對學校的支持。「榮茵」深受家長歡迎，亦是辦學團體、歷任校長及老師們的共同努力之成果。就讓我們繼續攜手合作，讓學校的優良傳統承傳下去，為我們的下一代創建美好的將來！

Welcome Message from Our New Principal
Dear Parents/Guardians, Teachers, Staff and Students,
It is my great pleasure and honour to have joined Wing Yan Family at the beginning of this new school year. ‘Family’ is the right word to describe our students’ lives here as our teachers are their caregivers and mentors, nurturing them with love and care. In the past six years, our school has been awarded under Caring School Award Scheme, one of the signs to show our children growing healthily and joyfully in our big family.
As the new principal at Buddhist Wing Yan School, I am devoted in providing our students with quality education in a wholesome learning environment. Gifted and talented, each Wing Yanian is unique with potentials fully achieved under our teachers’ guidance and support. Our professional team have been working on the school curriculum development incessantly; our school facilities are well-equipped, and teaching resources are abundant. We have largely enhanced our educational quality through ever-improving e-learning technologies and collecting advice from consultant teams. Besides, Gifted Education has been implemented for more than a decade to benefit students of different levels and aptitudes. We ensure that all students could nourish their creativity and improve their problem-solving skills at their own pace. Therefore, Wing Yanians have continuously reached remarkable achievements and attained prizes in both academic and various realms. In addition, we have been actively engaged in STEM Education and Environmental Protection Education to prepare our students well to strive for their best and serve our community in the future.
Here I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude and thankfulness to our parents/guardians for your support over the years, our sponsoring party and all former Principals for your guidance and leadership, our teachers and staff for your contributions and commitment.
