“
Education led by teachers, examinations and
grades can produce excellent students, but
not necessarily great learners. Great learners
are driven by internal motivation, from giving
students appropriate autonomy, responsibility
and opportunities for collaboration.” Such is
the basis of the Dalton Plan, one of the world’s
most successful child-centred models. Newly
launched
Little Dalton
is a local bilingual
Putonghua and English kindergarten guided
by the Dalton Plan and modelled after renowned New York prep school The Dalton
School. Visit
www.littledalton.com
for information about kindergarten classes and
after-school activities.
March is
Epilepsy Awareness Month
in Hong Kong and the perfect time to show your support for promoting awareness
and knowledge of this condition. Epilepsy is a common neurological (brain) disorder and affects people in every country
throughout the world. The condition encompasses a range of functional disorders of the brain, the common characteristic of
which is a series of repetitive seizures. In Hong Kong, around 60,000 to 70,000 people have epilepsy, and yet it remains largely
misunderstood here. Enlighten Action for Epilepsy aims to change that by raising the level of awareness and education about
the condition. You can support their efforts by joining in their “Paint the town purple” campaign throughout the month of March.
