Learning and Teaching Strategies Our teachers are devoted to motivating students in learning. We reinforce the implementation of blended learning and e-learning. Various learning and teaching platforms are used to facilitate students' learning. Apart from enhancing students' academic performance and nurturing their reading habit, teachers also arrange a wide variety of activities to develop students' potential and generic skills. We provide a diversified curriculum in order to prepare our students for university study both locally and overseas.
School-based curriculum 1. Electives: 3X. Flexible combinations from Arts and/or Science subjects<br> 2. Curriculum highlights: The elective subjects that we offer under the senior secondary curriculum are all mainstream subjects, which accommodate students for further studies both locally and overseas.
Approach to Catering for Learner Diversity The school has set up a Student Support Team, which comprises teachers in charge of spiritual affairs, guidance, discipline, career guidance, extra-curricular activities and moral & civic education.
Approach to Integrated Education Our school is committed to developing an inclusive culture through the Whole School Approach to support students with special educational needs. The Student Support Team is set up to help plan, implement and review student support service. The team is led by the Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCO), other team members are guidance teachers, careers guidance teachers, Chinese Language teachers, the school social workers and the educational psychologist.<br><br>To enhance teachers’ understanding of the special educational needs of students, the school encourages teachers to attend relevant training courses. Professionals, like the educational psychologist, are invited to conduct staff development programmes.<br><br>A teaching assistant is recruited to provide more comprehensive learning support to students with special educational needs. The teaching assistant, with the collaboration of the teaching staff, helps implement individual guidance and after-school remedial support. Moreover, individual / group training / speech therapy sessions to the students with special educational needs are offered by the registered social workers and other professionals. Assignment adjustment and examination accommodation are arranged for students in need.<br><br>For home-school cooperation, our school also establishes a regular communication mechanism with parents to let them understand the special educational needs of their children. The school invites parents to take part in the planning of support measures, evaluate the progress and provide similar support for their children at home.<br>
