Language Policy Our school adopts diversified MOI arrangements to cater for students' needs. English is used to teach Math in S.1- S.6. In the junior forms, some students are taught through English for certain subjects in the PSHE, Science and Technology KLA. For others, Chinese is adopted as the MOI complemented with lesson time of Extended Language Activities in English.<br>For the senior forms, students are allowed to choose English as the MOI for PSHE subjects, Science subjects and BAFS provided that they fulfill the school-based criteria. To maximize students' exposure to English, an English-rich environment is created on the campus. There are English assemblies, English-speaking Days and an array of English activities held throughout the year both inside and outside school. Junior form students have to fulfil the English extracurricular activities requirement and their participation is recorded in the report card.
Learning and Teaching Strategies 1. Our school attaches great importance to developing students into self-regulated learners and cultivating their collaboration and entrepreneurial skills. In this regard, we develop e-learning in class, implement BYOD, and incorporate STEM education and cross-curricular project learning in our junior form curriculum.<br>2. We make use of the three aspects of assessment to promote learning and teaching: assessment of learning, assessment for learning and assessment as learning. We have established a data analysis team to make effective use of assessment data by generating VA for internal assessments and using AQP from HKEAA to enhance learning.<br>3. With the introduction of Study Days and Students’ Days before and after the test/exam, we have established a strong learning atmosphere on campus.
School-based curriculum 1. Electives: 3X. Over 30 combinations of subjects including Physics, Biology, Chemistry, ICT, BAFS, History, Chinese History, Geography, Economics, HMSC, Visual Arts, Physical Education, Japanese and Korean.<br> 2. Curriculum highlights: Vertical and lateral coherence of KLA is emphasized in the lower form curriculum, which incorporates e-Learning, STEM education and cross-curricular project learning.
Approach to Catering for Learner Diversity We cater for students with different abilities and needs.
Approach to Integrated Education Our school is committed to developing the culture of communion and supporting students with special educational needs (SEN) in the “Whole School Approach”. With the funding “Learning Support Grant” and other community resources, students are provided with appropriate and diversified support services to enhance their learning effectiveness and assist them in integrating into school life.<br>Our school values the cooperation between school and parents.

By doing all the above, we hope our students with special needs can enjoy their school lives.
