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
