Summer Bridging Programme for Non-Chinese Speaking Students
The Summer Bridging Programme for Non-Chinese Speaking (NCS) Students aims to facilitate NCS Primary 1 entrants in public sector primary schools (including special schools) and primary schools under the Direct Subsidy Scheme to adapt to the use of Chinese in classroom learning and help NCS students progressing to Primary 2 to Primary 6 consolidate what they have learnt in the school year and prepare them for Chinese learning in the following school year.
Participating schools may, having regard to students’ learning needs, exercise professional judgement in designing the programme content and arranging various learning activities (e.g. Chinese Language lessons, cultural activities, reading clubs, recitations, dramas, language games, campus tours and visits to community facilities). Schools may also arrange for parents to accompany their children in class and/or other learning activities in order to promote home-school co-operation.
