| Language Policy |
In line with the refined NSS language policy, steps are taken to enhance students' language proficiency. Extra resources are devoted to boosting the learning of both English Language and Chinese Language in forms of after-school oral practice, speech festival, verse-speaking and drama competition. Extended English learning activities are organized cross-curricular with junior-form subjects, except Chinese History, Chinese Language, and Putonghua. Every effort is made to create an English-rich learning ambiance and strengthen students' language proficiency, as exemplified from subsidizing more students for language programs like Summer English language Courses and overseas English study tours. To maximize study and career opportunities, S.6 students are subsidized for various mock examinations. |
