Improve students' English proficiency by adopting a whole-school approach to enriching the environment conducive to learning English. |
| Learning and Teaching Strategies |
Teaching approaches aim to motivate students and develop their study methods. Students are also provided with various learning opportunities and a favourable learning environment.<br>The junior forms emphasise the enhancement of language ability and thinking skills. Study skills are taught in class. <br>The flexible curriculum framework of the New Senior Secondary curriculum offers students a wide range of subject combinations in order to cater for their needs.<br>Apart from strengthening the curriculum of the core subjects and subject training, there is also a variety of OLE opportunities encouraging students to participate in the five areas of OLE, namely Moral and Civic Education, Community Service, Career-related Experiences, Aesthetic Development and Physical Development so as to equip them for their tertiary education. Also, we strive to develop students' interest in music, and learning to play musical instruments has become a core part of the junior form music curriculum. |
| School-based curriculum |
1. Electives: 2X and 3X. To cater for learners' needs, the New Senior Secondary curriculum offers several subjects for the students. They can choose their elective subjects according to their interests and abilities.<br> 2. Curriculum highlights: <br>- To enhance junior secondary students' understanding of the NSS elective subjects, Geography is offered in junior secondary education and S.3 Science is divided into Physics, Chemistry and Biology.<br>- To widen students' vision of the world, world history and cultural elements are incorporated into the Chinese History curriculum.<br>- To prepare students for studying Citizenship and Social Development, Life and Society is offered in junior secondary education. |
| Approach to Catering for Learner Diversity |
Remedial teaching is practised in our school. Enhancement and enrichment classes are also organised after school and during holidays. Bridging courses are organised during summer holidays. |
| Approach to Integrated Education |
To better cater for students having special educational needs (SEN), an SEN Support Team (SENST) was established in our school. With reference to the 3-Tier Intervention Model, students are provided with various levels of assistance according to the severity of their learning difficulties. For instance, Individual Education Plans (IEP) are devised to ensure particular students can receive the additional learning and counselling support they need as recommended by medical specialists. In addition, we believe that SEN students can develop their potential and become more confident and skillful in communication and socialising under professionals' suitable guidance. Extra manpower is allocated to the provision of regular after-class tuition. Furthermore, various therapies and social skills training workshops offered by external providers are made available on campus. SENST also actively organises a series of experiential activities to promote the value of respecting diversity to students. We hope to increase students' awareness of the school's inclusive culture. |

| Home-School Co-operation |
Thanks to the efforts and commitment of our parent and teacher committee members, the PTA has successfully established strong cooperation between parents and teachers. There are a wide variety of activities like one-day tours, educational talks, workshops, and interest groups specially designed for serving our mission: to develop every child's potential to a fuller extent by engaging and empowering families and teacher communities. |
| School Ethos |
The school ethos aims to cultivate students' punctuality, diligence and obedience. We offer counseling services to foster students' growth. We also set up Parent-Teacher Association to facilitate communication between parents and students. To develop positive moral values in our students, we have set up the National and Life Education Committee. We also encourage staff and students to share inspiring stories on various occasions. School Prefects and the ambassadors from the Big Brothers and Sisters Scheme act as role models for their peers. |
| School Development Plan |
The School's Major Concerns for 2021/22-2023/24:<br>1. Promoting self-directed learning.<br>2. Consolidating a clear and positive identity. |
| Teacher Professional Training and Development |
The school set up the staff development committee specifically for staff professional development. The committee is responsible for coordinating the new staff induction program and school-based staff development days, etc. A school-based appraisal system is introduced to facilitate teachers’ professional development. Each year, all subject departments and committees will design their own development and training programmes to enhance teaching and learning effectiveness. |
| Life-wide Learning |
Co-curricular activities in the following areas are provided: academics, sports, music, art, social services and special interest groups. Students are encouraged to set up and lead the groups. The house system has become a tradition of the school in which students take the lead to organise various activities. |
