Home Based Learning
Overview
1. Home-Based Learning (HBL) is a bi-weekly
platform for students to learn in settings beyond
school through a blend of
online and offline activities. These activities complement in-
school
learning and are designed to
develop students' ability to be self-directed, passionate
and
lifelong learners. These self-directed experience will also encourage the
development
of positive habits in learning, such as setting of learning goals
and monitoring of one’s
learning progress.
2. HBL
days will be conducted on a regular basis throughout the school year to
inculcate the
practice of self-directed learning. We are confident that with
practice, every Junyuan
student can continue their learning even when they are at
home.

Student Initiated Learning (SIL) Activity (for Sec 2 to 5)
10. Sec 2 to 5 students will also embark on
Student Initiated Learning to work on a topic of
their interest, e.g. playing
guitar, learning a new language. Students are given 1 hour during
each HBL day
to plan their learning for this topic and curate online resources, e.g. YouTube
videos to support their learning.
11. Students will be briefed by their form teachers
on the SIL in Term 1. Students can refer to
the following resource to get
started:
a) Secondary Student-Initiated Learning Guide
b) Resource List for SIL
12. Learning to manage your time is part of
the intent of HBL so we encourage students to
spend at most 60 minutes on their
SIL activity during HBL days. Enjoy your SIL activity but
do so safely.
