History

It was known as the Escola Luso-Chinesa de Tamagnini Barbosa (Chinese: 巴波沙中葡小學) until 2011 when it adopted its current name.[2]

Curriculum

Chinese is the language of instruction of most subjects, while music and physical education are taught in Portuguese. That year, some parents on social media criticized the school, stating that the fact that students were taking different classes in different languages and that this affected the academic performances of their children. The school administration argued that the parents simply were not accustomed to the format of the school.[2]

By 2017 the school was starting a pilot programme for bilingual Portuguese-Mandarin classes.[3]
