關愛、思考、實踐

我們的教育使命：以關愛、思考、實踐打造學生的整體發展。致力培育學生們的正面和批判性思维，培養公民意識，歷練意志品質。

關愛

在百卉九江書院，我們全方位將正向教育融入學校裏。每日的營火會，讓學生透過正向教育自由領悟人生要理，並學習關愛自己以及身邊的人。我們的專題課程鼓勵學生認真參與、開展他們的自我意志和社會意識。

在百卉九江書院，我們全方位將正向教育融入學校裏。經由每日的營火會，讓學生透過正向教育自由領悟人生要理，並學習關愛自己以及其身邊的人。

思考

傳统學科重視死記硬背，問題的內涵遠比解決方案更重要。對內容的強調往往跳過了整個學習過程中最重要的一步：培育創意與批判性思考和解决問題的能力。我們利用跨學科應用課程教導学生如何像數學家、藝術家、工程師或歷史學家一般思考；這驅使他們以更多元化的角度了解世界，同時以靈活多樣的方式去解決問題，活用所學。

實踐

我們書院對行動的堅持，主要呈現在學生必修的社區服務，以及涵蓋各年級的專題式學習。例如二年級時，學生會收集並分析溫、濕度數據，採用科學導向的工程設計方法去領略自然世界。

百卉九江書院的STEM課程秉持革新精神，勇於探索未知的境域，並以香港作為實驗的場地。學生在專題課堂收集原始數據，並參與平民科學家計劃，以期為科學界提供真實的實驗成果。百卉明白，科學的力量並不僅限於一個分數或一份成績表，而是藉着累積前人所發現，用科技和工程去解決人類面對的種種難題。

百卉九江書院的STEM課程，將國際通行的教學理念本地化（如「新一代科學教育標準」），注重現實世界的問題導向學習，並為學生投身STEM行業和相關領域而鋪路。我們期許所有學生，都能掌握對以下十項核心科技能力的基本認識。

核心科技能力：

人工智能
材料科學與工程
太空
環境工程
電腦圖像及使用者界面設計
科學與數據採集
專案管理
機械人學與操控技術
物聯網及數碼媒體認知能力
數據模型與模擬

基於科学標準的系統學習

百卉九江書院的STEM課程，是基於「新一代科學教育標準」（NGSS）而生，這是一套由諾貝爾得獎學者聯同教育專家團隊所設計和開發，以研究為本的課程，其架構參照目前科學研究中的重要領域，講求實證和融合新工程標準與舊科學方法。這種新的模式兼顧了觀測與應用科學，使課室的學習經驗能激發學生的興趣，助他們面對未來。

「新一代科學教育標準」反映科技在真實世界的操作和體驗，突顯其互相聯繫的性質，並由此闡明：一、科學和工程實踐策略（科學家和工程師如何工作）；二、交互連繫的概念（不同科學領域如何融會貫通）；三、在K-12學制中，所有學生應掌握的核心科學概念，以備入讀大學和投身21世紀職場。

在課程中，學生會觀察各種科學現象，從中學習創造原始的數據庫，以及利用不同的圖表和模型來記錄數據，繼而運用新獲得的數據和規律，解決人類需要或問題。高年級的學生，會進一步學習把這些數據存放在電腦模擬系統，以作日後分析之用。這是一種自然地糅合創意、批判思維、電腦運算推考和多媒體科技傳播的學習方式。

本地化與回應生活

百卉九江書院希望學生能明白STEM在日常生活中的用途，因此將時事新聞納入課堂，借助實際事例，幫助他們學習。我們將香港的自然環境用作實驗和學習的場所，學生將會參加各種實地考察，探索香港豐富獨特的生態和地理環境，並在過程中學習觀測科學，用視覺、聽覺、嗅覺、觸覺和味覺進行觀察，然後將觀察所得記錄在他們的科學日誌中。應用新一代科學教育標準，學生會將新學到的知識，用來設計方案，解決工程問題，這種做法的目標是激發學生對STEM科目的興趣，並通過日常應用來加深記憶。我們亦希望學生明白，課堂上學到的知識要在課室外的真實世界得到應用，兩者關係是密不可分的。

基於真實世界的問題導向學習

百卉九江書院的「探索、創造、分享」設計循環，引導小學生探索真實世界的問題。「設計週期」旨在自然融合不同的科學概念，給予學生實質可靠的方法，去驗證自己的想法。舉例而言，學生會借相關的事例（如新型冠狀病毒疫症），探討「細菌是甚麼」的問題，由此進一步了解細菌和病毒的區別。他們會自由討論怎樣用麵包來做實驗，學習管理各種實驗變量（如消毒濕紙巾、消毒潔手液、肥皂、酒精搓手液和密實袋），做到自主學習。學生會作批判性思考，考慮在實驗開始前應該要做怎樣的準備；學生甚至會再進一步，探究消毒潔手液、濕紙巾、肥皂和酒精搓手液的成分有什麼異同。

為投身STEM領域和相關行業鋪路

百卉九江書院致力于連接校內和校外的STEM機會。學生能透過不同的考察旅行和專家演講，把握先機，接觸業界。

百卉九江書院會與海洋公園合作，讓我們的小學生參加其「童遊探索隊」和「樂遊探索隊」計劃。書院的STEM課程，緊遵新一代科學教育標準，涵蓋涉及四大學科核心概念的元素，分別是（一）物理科學、（二）生命科學、（三）地球與太空科學以及（四）工程、科技及應用科學。我們鼓勵學生在課堂上提出問題、洞悉科學規律和解答存在於他們身邊的問題，從而直接了解科學家的工作方式。

百卉九江書院STEM課程與傳統STEM課程的區別

傳統STEM課室中，科學實驗是事先設計好的，而百卉九江書院則着重實驗本身——學生是否明白實驗的目的？學生能否操控實驗過程，從中找出實驗方式對實驗結果造成的影響？實驗中有甚麼變量和條件？科學實驗有助培養批判性思維，學生可在實驗前作廣泛的討論，根據自己既有的知識建立假設，並且學習為之解釋。在百卉STEM課程的實驗與分析環節，學生會採用哈佛大學的Project Zero視覺思考程序來進行觀測、分析數據和參與課堂討論。

百卉九江書院STEM課程

科學課程是建基於科學工程設計法則，強調觀測科學、收集原始數據、數據分析及建立模型。

傳統STEM課程

科學課程仍是建基在單以課堂實驗為核心的古舊科學方法上，學生只是因循既定的指引去做實驗，其結果早已預想得到。

百卉九江書院STEM課程

以日常生活種種為題材，學習編碼

從家中回到學校的路線，正是條件運算式中if-then-else結構的例子
「猜數字」遊戲就像編碼中的While迴圈
將英語文法類比作假碼，由此了解編程句法的用途
學生可參與模擬結對程式設計的遊戲，由一個學生提供一系列的指示，為另一個蒙上眼睛的學生指路

傳統STEM課程

只在電腦螢幕上編碼，令學生只會因按鍵而感到「興奮」

依賴電腦即時給予回應，而非幫助學生在腦中進行演算
只是不斷修改簡單的變量或值，和反覆作「執行」的指令，而非真正明白為何程式有錯而未能運作

百卉九江書院STEM課程

以日常生活為例，來學習電腦運算思維，如：

如何刷牙就是一種「演算法」
學習怎樣逐步拆開一件玩具屬於「分解」
聆聽音樂，欣賞其中盤旋重複的曲調是「模式辨識」的例子
為新聞報導撰寫摘要屬於「抽象化」

傳統STEM課程

除了程式設計課外，根本不會包含與電腦運算思維有關的內容
只叫學生記住電腦運算思維的四大要素
沒有提供參考例子，只要求學生串出字詞和背誦有關的定義
只提供關於編碼或程式設計語言的例子

百卉九江書院STEM課程

設計有實際客戶或用家的市場化產品

學生在設計過程中會擔當不同角色，如設計師、測試者、財務經理、工程師等
學生接收實際客戶和用家的意見，因而建立自信
課程採用科學工程設計法則中的原型製作模式，令學生更敢於承擔風險
參照史丹福大學的設計程序，幫助學生瞭解客人真正的需要，從而設計出能夠解決他們問題的產品，這一過程正可培養學生的同理心

傳統STEM課程

只是為了分數或成績等級而製作市場化產品

製作的專項產品都是有例可循，以便老師評分
學生或會懼怕失敗，不欲冒險
由於學生是拉曲線評分，因此只有一部分成績好的學生能夠增強自信心
產品設計或由老師事前指示完成，而成品也通常是以學生本人為最終用家

CARE, THINK, ACT

Care, Think, Act is our education model that addresses our students` holistic development: their wellbeing, positive mindsets, disciplinary thinking, and engagement with the community

CARE

At Bloom Academy, we embed positive education into every aspect of the school. Through our daily campfires, where character and positive education are taught explicitly, students learn to take care of themselves and those around them. Our project-based curriculum also asks students to engage deeply with, and thereby care for, their community and the world around them.

Vision and Mission

Our Key Stage 3 (KS3) curriculum provides a robust foundation for secondary education at Saint Too Bloom Academy. This enriching two-year program, encompassing Grades 7 and 8, equips students with essential knowledge and skills across a range of subjects. It encourages intellectual risks, exploration of new interests, and development of independent learning skills, fostering lifelong enthusiasm for learning.

Transition from Primary to Secondary

For students transitioning from Bloom KKCA Academy, the KS3 journey begins in Grade 6 with early exposure to core content and skills in subjects like English, Mathematics, Geography, History, and Science. This foundation is further developed through Grades 7 and 8. Our dedicated faculty, including the Lower Secondary Coordinator and subject teachers, provide the necessary support and guidance for a smooth transition from primary to secondary education.

Subject Offerings

During their two years in KS3, Bloom students engage with a broad and balanced curriculum that includes:
English Language and English Literature: Enhancing command of the language through diverse literary studies and developing strong communication skills.
Mathematics: Building a solid foundation in numeracy, problem-solving, and analytical thinking.
Science: Exploring the fundamentals of Biology, Chemistry, and Physics to foster curiosity about the natural world and a methodical approach to scientific inquiry.
Humanities: Incorporating History and Geography to enhance understanding of historical events, cultural diversity, and geographical phenomena.
Chinese: Offering Mandarin Chinese to promote linguistic proficiency and cultural understanding.

*All subjects except Chinese will be taught in English.

Preparing for the Future

The KS3 curriculum at Bloom is structured with rigor and clear performance benchmarks to identify support areas for students. We emphasize developing key life skills such as critical thinking, creativity, effective communication, and adaptability, preparing students for specialized academic paths in Key Stage 4 and beyond, including IGCSE and A Levels.

Values

Language Support

Our ESL and Intensive Language Programs, led by Ms. Robyn Collins, help students who need additional language support to develop proficiency in English, enabling full engagement with the curriculum and achievement of learning objectives.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)

Also under the guidance of Ms. Collins, our Student Support Coordinator, we provide targeted support for students with specific learning needs such as dyslexia. Our approach includes adapting teaching methods and materials to accommodate different learning styles and paces, ensuring all students can access and engage with our curriculum effectively.

Adaptive Resources and Learning Strategies

We empower students to take an active role in their learning by offering a variety of resources and activities that cater to diverse learning preferences. This strategy not only supports their current academic needs but also develops metacognitive skills crucial for lifelong learning.
Our commitment extends to ensuring every student, regardless of their starting point or circumstances, reaches the desired learning outcomes. We provide personalized support and guidance necessary for each student’s success, emphasizing a respectful balance between traditional scholarship and innovative thinking.

Innovative Assessment Practices

Bloom goes beyond traditional assessment methods to create a learning environment that nurtures creativity and critical thinking:

Performance-Based Assessments: 
Our students demonstrate their learning through various dynamic formats such as presentations, debates, and projects. This approach allows them to showcase their knowledge and skills in contexts that mirror real-world scenarios, highlighting their ability to apply learning creatively and effectively.
Peer Reviews and Feedback:
Students regularly engage in peer review sessions, where they offer and receive constructive feedback. This process not only enhances their critical thinking skills but also fosters a collaborative learning environment, providing diverse insights and promoting a deeper understanding of the subject matter.
Formative Portfolios:
Students compile digital portfolios that chronicle their work and development over time. These portfolios are not just a collection of assignments but a curated self-reflection of their academic journey, showcasing growth and fostering a sense of accomplishment and ownership over their learning.
