Language Policy English is our medium of instruction. There are 24 teachers in the English Department: 3 being native speakers and the others having native-speaker or near native-speaker fluency. They are all highly qualified and committed to enhancing the English standard of the students. <br>On the other hand, the school spares no effort in strengthening students' Chinese proficiency. Putonghua is the medium of instruction in S.1-S.3 Chinese Language classes. <br>With a view to nurturing our students to be biliterate and trilingual, we have put in place a series of enrichment programmes (such as public speaking, debate, drama, writing) and reading schemes.
Learning and Teaching Strategies Balanced curriculum: Religious Studies, Music and Physical Education are compulsory for all students, providing students an all-round education. <br>For S.2 students: Aesthetics and Creativity Education programme conducted by professionals. <br>E-learning: implemented from S.1 through S.6.<br>Teachers participate in professional training courses, forums and workshops to keep abreast of education reform and teaching trends.<br>Extra-curricular reading programme: enhance students' reading habit by providing a compulsory booklist; introducing a reward scheme for self-selected readings, e.g. Best Book Report; encouraging students to read more books of different genres. Book fairs: organised by Parent-Teacher Association, to encourage students to read more.
School-based curriculum 1. Electives: 3X and 4X. Please refer to the school website: Academic > Curriculum > DSE<br> 2. Curriculum highlights: Our curriculum aims to provide students with a solid foundation and the skills that will equip them for university studies and lifelong learning. Students are offered a balanced and broad curriculum that covers the core subjects and caters for individual preferences and aspirations at the same time. Values education is also incorporated into our curriculum with the aim to inculcate positive values.
Approach to Catering for Learner Diversity Catering for differentiated needs and capabilities of students through expansion and strengthening of personalised learning programmes.
Approach to Integrated Education Teachers employ a wide repertoire of teaching pedagogies to cater for learning diversity and maximize learning effectiveness. Counselling teachers, SEN Coordinator, school social workers and educational psychologist collaborate closely to support students with special educational needs. Case conferences are held with teachers concerned to discuss strategies in supporting particular students. Teachers and parents may communicate with the school on the special needs of these students. The school will provide support for them by making special arrangements regarding classroom seating, examination setting as well as individual education plan, etc. The school may also refer students to outside professionals, such as psychiatrists, for further follow-up if necessary.
Education Support for Non-Chinese Speaking (NCS) Students
Home-School Co-operation Parent-Teacher Association established, with a range of activities throughout the year, e.g. seminars and talks, community service and visits, newsletter and book fairs.
School Ethos As one of the oldest schools in Hong Kong, we cherish an unbroken tradition of academic, aesthetic, physical and musical excellence and a reputation for being at the forefront of educational developments. Much as we value scholarship and intellectual development, we stress even more on values and attitudes, and laud integrity and modesty.

Teacher Professional Training and Development Apart from funds for subject panels and whole-school professional development day, the school allocates $4,000 to each teacher on professional development every year. In addition, teachers may take one year paid study leave.
Life-wide Learning To promote an all-round education and develop leadership qualities, we place great emphasis on extra-curricular activities. Students are expected to select from and participate in a wide range of activities. High achievers are also provided with gifted education and enrichment programmes.
