| Language Policy |
We implement mother-tongue teaching from S.1 to S.6 (English instructional materials are used for some subjects in some classes). We encourage teachers and students to communicate through English after class. The whole-school approach to learning English is adopted in our School. Activities like debating, drama and story-telling, together with English Café, are used to help develop our students' biliterate and trilingual competence. |
| Learning and Teaching Strategies |
We emphasize self-directed learning. By teaching through activities and meaningful tasks, we aim to develop students' analytical and independent thinking abilities, and increase their learning motivation. We design our curriculum in the light of our students' needs. The discovery approach and project approach are used to induce learning. We minimize the amount of copying work and use diversified methods to assess our students. Our classrooms are equipped with computers, touch screen monitor & visualizers. We exploit high technology to support teaching and learning. We cultivate the spirit of respect for teachers, of serving the community and of self-actualization. We help students to establish a good reading habit with extensive reading schemes, self-learning reading plans, reading materials for different subjects, elections and nominations of good books, reading rooms, sharing workshops. |

| Approach to Catering for Learner Diversity |
We have put in operation two class-teachers to one class. Through this arrangement, we hope to further strengthen students' moral development and to enhance student counseling. We strive to continuously upgrade students' language ability through independent reading and reading-aloud. |
| Approach to Integrated Education |
The School has adopted the Whole School Approach on the implementation of Integrated Education, with the Student Support Team consisting of the Vice Principals, SENCo, Chinese, English, and Mathematics teachers, and Teaching Assistants to assist students with special educational needs (SEN) and to arrange SEN-related courses for teachers to enhance their professional capacity. The School flexibly deploys resources from the Learning Support Grant and other sources to cater for SEN students of their needs with suitable and diversified support, such as recruiting additional teachers and teaching assistants to provide appropriate backup. Meanwhile, speech therapy and occupational therapy services are also available for students with SEN.<br><br>To cater for learning diversities, the School has adopted curriculum adaptation, differentiated teaching strategies, tiered assignments and assessments adaptation to enhance the learning effectiveness of students with SEN. The School also closely collaborates with the Education Bureau and school-based educational psychologists, holding regular meetings to assess their learning performance. Parents are invited to participate in the meetings to assist in planning and evaluating the effectiveness of their children’s Individualized Educational Programme (IEP), as well as to attend workshops to equip themselves with effective parenting skills. |

| Home-School Co-operation |
The Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) of the school was established in 2004. Every year, the PTA organizes different activities, such as Parents’ meeting, family tours, and different interest classes, to promote home-school cooperation. The PTA annually publishes 2 newsletters to facilitate home-school communications. Besides, the School would invite parents to participate in the Sports Day and other school activities. To build a closer tie with parents and a better environment for students’ growth, the School would get in touch with parents via phone calls or face-to-face meetings. |
| School Ethos |
Our students are self-disciplined. We discipline and we counsel. Our students have lunch at School. Through counseling, academic work and extra-curricular activities like uniformed groups, we put into practice life-wide learning. The aim is to develop students' self-management skills, sense of belonging for the School, and multi-faceted potentials. |

It is our mission to provide student-centered whole person education on 6 dimensions: <br>1) Learning; <br>2) Characters; <br>3) Health; <br>4) Interpersonal skills;<br>5) Planning; <br>6) Professionalism (preparing for future career).<br><br>Unifying life planning, student counseling, moral education, student career and learning support, class teachers can provide counseling on group and individual basis, which helps build up a caring and loving environment. |
| Teacher Professional Training and Development |
We organize professional development activities for our teachers on a regular basis. Teachers are encouraged to take part in seminars, workshops and then share their views with their colleagues. We have joined the "school-based curriculum support project", "Quality School Improvement Project" and "Project on School Self-evaluation, External School Review and Sustainability". We attach great importance to collaborative lesson preparation, mutual observation of lessons. We often invite overseas experts to act as our consultants to help our teachers grow professionally.
