Home-Based Learning(HBL)

Briefing Slides for Students

The purpose of this HBL slides is to help you to familiarise yourselves with the HBL

environment and the learning process.

The school has a curriculum continuity plan in place toactivate Home-Based Learning (HBL) to ensure thatlearning continues for students during school closure.

• HBL follows the syllabus and Schemes of Work (SOW) closelyso that we avoid any loss in curriculum time

• HBL is holistic in nature. For example, time is set aside for PEso that students continue to stay healthy

• It keeps students engaged in learning when they are unableto attend schools

• It gives students the opportunity to engage in self-directedlearning

HBL Environment & Learning Process

HBL needs not be confined to e-learning or learning withcomputers. It can include offline assignments or readings(e.g. readings from textbooks, PDF worksheets)

Teachers will continue to monitor students’ learningprogress during HBL

Besides helping students with learning, teachers will alsocheck on students’ well-being

HBL Environment & Learning Process Information of HBL will be broadcasted on the PHS Website.

Lower Secondary Classes: 8.00 – 10.00 a.m.Upper Secondary Classes: 10.00 a.m. – 12.00 p.m.
