WASHK Wins STEAM Award at Greater Bay Area School Awards
We are thrilled to announce that Wycombe Abbey School Hong Kong has been honoured with the STEAM Education Award at the Greater Bay Area School Awards! This accolade recognises our pioneering, interdisciplinary approach to Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) education, solidifying our position as a leader in innovative pedagogy within the region.
A Visionary iSTEAM Programme: Redefining Education
At Wycombe Abbey Senior School Hong Kong, our iSTEAM programme is a dynamic fusion of ICT, technology, robotics, coding, engineering, mathematics, science, and art and design. Unlike many Hong Kong schools where STEAM is confined to extracurricular activities, we embed iSTEAM as a core subject within our weekly timetable. This integration ensures students engage deeply with these disciplines from an early age, fostering a mindset of curiosity and problem-solving.
Holistic Assessment: Nurturing Future-Ready Skills
What truly sets our iSTEAM programme apart is its holistic assessment framework. While technical proficiency in areas like robotics or coding is celebrated, we equally prioritise “future-proof” skills such as adaptability, collaboration, and integrity. For example, students are assessed on their ability to iterate designs after setbacks, lead team projects, and articulate the ethical implications of their work.
Mr Janjua, Head of iSTEAM, explains:
“Our assessments mirror real-life scenarios. A student might excel in engineering a prototype, but what matters just as much is how they adapt when a component fails or how they credit peers’ ideas. These competencies prepare them for lifelong success.”
Digital Fluency in Action: Tools and Initiatives
Early exposure to coding and AI literacy is central to our philosophy. Through tools like Microsoft Co-Pilot, students explore machine learning fundamentals, while our 1:1 Device Programme ensures every pupil from Year 3 onward develops digital fluency. This initiative has enabled remarkable outcomes, such as Year 5 students designing AI chatbots to assist with environmental research projects.
Setting the Standard: Commitment to Innovation
As we celebrate this milestone, we reaffirm our mission to set the standard for innovation in education. Our forward-thinking pedagogies ensure students graduate not only with academic knowledge but also with the resilience, creativity, and ethical grounding needed to thrive in a rapidly evolving world.
Join Us in Shaping Tomorrow’s Leaders
This STEAM Award is more than an accolade—it is a celebration of what happens when curiosity meets purpose. To our students: your ingenuity inspires us. To our educators and partners: thank you for turning vision into reality.
As we look ahead, Wycombe Abbey School Hong Kong remains dedicated to empowering the next generation of global thinkers, creators, and leaders. Together, we’re not just teaching STEAM; we’re redefining it.
