Some Thoughts…

23

What is the difference between PAL and Art, Music and PE Lessons?

• Art, Music and PE- are skills-based with

specific learning outcomes

• PAL complements Art, Music and PE.

The different domains (E.g. Visual Arts) are used to reinforce social and emotional competencies (e.g. I learnt about self-control)

Some Thoughts…

24

What is the difference between PAL and CCA?

• The

current CCA structure provides students with the opportunity to specialise in a CCA of their interest and CCA is conducted outside of curriculum time

• PAL provides students with broad exposure

to a variety of activities in different areas, through modules lasting between 7 to 10 weeks

Form Teacher’s Guidance Period (FTGP)

25

• The central idea behind FTGP is to provide time

within the curriculum for the Form Teacher to engage in quality interactions with her students and help students strengthen social and emotional competencies.

• The FTGP constitutes a 30-minute period every
• week. Every Wednesday, 7.40 a.m. to 8.10 a.m.
• Explicit teaching of social and emotional skills.
• Involvement of the Co-Form Teachers as well.
