| Language Policy |
To improve students’ academic results and their abilities, we set up, according to students’ interests and abilities, Junior Secondary English Class (with English as the medium of instruction) and Junior Secondary Bi-Lingual Class (With students’ mother tongue as the medium of instruction and complemented by English vocabulary and English extended activities). We have also recruited a group of professional native-speaking English teachers who teach English through activities. |
| Learning and Teaching Strategies |
We promote the innovative “Active Education” in our teaching that advocates integration, self-determination, authentic learning experiences, adaptation and global learning. In language teaching, we introduce debate skills training. We also hold a whole school Authentic Learning Day, Inter-disciplinary Project Learning, Open day, Arts and Talent Show, Service learning and Study Tour. Every morning we have “reading lesson” through which our students could acquire the habit of reading. Moreover, equipped with iPad together with digital-interactive notes and e-books, we carry out “e-Learning” in S.1-S.6 that let students pursue interactive learning through electronic equipment and hence raise their learning effectiveness. The coverage of optical fibers and Wi-Fi extend to the whole campus. All classrooms are equipped with Apple TV and IT teaching facilities for raising students’ interest in learning. Students’ ability in writing programs are strengthened through programming languages learning such as Micro:Bit, Arduino, Drone Programming and VR/AR/AI. Moreover, we have set up a “Dream Laboratory” through which our teachers carry out the STEAM activities and help making students’ dreams come true, turning impossibility into possibility and creativity into reality. Joint school education network that provides an online self-studying platform and materials has also been setup. |
