| Language Policy |
To enable our students to be biliterate and trilingual is our language policy. An English-rich environment is built through the implementation of English Thursday which is a whole year programme. The use of the language is promoted through the English Learning Centre, together with signs, notices, announcements and Campus TV broadcast all in English at school. Different English learning activities are organised at appropriate times all the year round to help improve students' language ability and allow them to have a better understanding of the English culture. The fine-tuned medium of instruction arrangements has been implemented. Extended learning activities in English are conducted in some of the subjects taught in S.1 to S.3 classes. |
| Learning and Teaching Strategies |
Catering for learner diversity is the basic principle in the design of our student-centred curricula. Our main foci in junior forms are on Information Technology and extensive reading, and making our students biliterate and trilingual. In Chinese and English, differentiation is adopted, and students in junior forms are put into five groups from every four classes to enable more effective learning and teaching. To boost teacher-student and student-student interaction, an information-technology based interactive learning and teaching mode is employed in senior forms. Supplementary lessons, tests and mock examinations are arranged after school to help prepare students for the public examination. To meet the need of the secondary curriculum, very clear and specific working plans, and learning-teaching strategies are devised. The Curriculum Development Committee help every subject devise long-term policies for their curriculum. |
| School-based curriculum |
1. Electives: 2X. Students can choose Mathematics Extended Part (M2) or Vocational English as the additional elective subject. The school offers sufficient elective subjects and subject combinations for students according to their will and choices.<br> 2. Curriculum highlights: The school provides a diversified curriculum for senior secondary students. Secondary Four students choose two elective subjects according to their interests and abilities. Students are allowed to replace one of the elective subjects with an Applied Learning subject when they are in Secondary Five. |
| Approach to Catering for Learner Diversity |
There is a homework guidance lesson in all Secondary One classes in which students finish doing their homework and consolidate what they have learned with the help and guidance of teachers. In junior forms, students are put into groups and differentiated instruction is adopted in Chinese and English to help cater for learner diversity. Through Project WISE, various learning courses are implemented to help more able students learn better. The Gifted Education Team has been established to identify students with potential in order to provide them with a wide variety of learning experiences and develop their multiple competence. The team helps the gifted students to build a higher self-expectation, hoping that they fight for their own vision and social well-being. |
| Approach to Integrated Education |
The school adopts a whole school approach to the implementation of integrated education. Through the Student Support Committee, the school provides appropriate and diversified support services to improve students’ learning effectiveness and communication skills so as to help them integrate into their campus life. The school attaches great importance to home-school cooperation, and lets parents understand their children’s learning at school through various channels so that the school and parents can support students’ learning and growth with joint efforts. |
| Education Support for Non-Chinese Speaking (NCS) Students |

| Home-School Co-operation |
To enhance home-school cooperation, the Parent-Teacher Association holds meetings and organises different parent-child activities regularly, such as parent-child mooncake workshop, Caring and Warmth Giving knitting classes, parent-child culinary competition, a barbecue evening, parent-child picnic, parent education talk and a Secondary One orientation day for parents. Parents’ participation is encouraged through parent's days and various parent-child activities to help build a better learning environment. |
| School Ethos |
In order to provide holistic care to students, there are three class teachers in each of the Secondary One classes while there are two in each of the other classes. Based on the Mau Fung Students Development Framework, every subject and section in school will provide support in every aspect to help the development and growth of our students, to foster their good characters and leadership to pave the way for them to pursue their goals and become Brilliant Maufungers. |
| School Development Plan |
1. To cater for learner diversity with a greater strength to enhance the effectiveness of learning and teaching.<br>2. To foster active Maufungers with positive thinking.<br>3. To strengthen the link among the school, parents and alumni to help facilitate the development of the school. |
| Teacher Professional Training and Development |
The school is dedicated to enhancing the development of teachers’ professionalism. Apart from taking part in the Education Bureau's seed project and school-based support scheme, we also participate in various cooperative projects and programmes with tertiary institutes and business sectors. Our colleagues are always invited to share their school-based experience in seminars organised by various tertiary institutes and the Education Bureau. In order to realise the school development plan and the major concerns of the years, the school is devoted to promoting and facilitating activities that help the development of teachers' professionalism. |
| Life-wide Learning |
Co-curricular activities are divided into different categories: interests, physical training, uniformed groups, art, service, life planning and academic. There are different clubs and teams, for example, Brass Band, Drama Club, Athletic Team, Volunteer Group and Red Cross. In addition, the school has implemented the programme: One sport and one art for one student in Secondary One and Secondary Two to develop students' interests and potential for sports and art. |
