| Language Policy |
In order to strengthen students’ ability in coping with senior secondary form curriculum and better prepare for further tertiary education, English has been adopted as the medium of instruction in Secondary 1 to Secondary 3 Mathematics and Science. Our school puts emphasis on building up the reading and writing interest and habit to develop students' language abilities. Reading resources with suitable levels are purchased and the strategies are implemented in promotion of the reading and writing atmosphere. |
| Learning and Teaching Strategies |
To cope with students' wide variety of talents and skills in this knowledge-based society for the 21st century, we stress the importance of developing students' critical thinking and problem solving skills. The curriculum in our school is designed with e-learning materials and problem-solving approach in order to develop their critical and logical thinking abilities and deductive and problem solving techniques. These lay the foundation of life-time self-learning skills that students can acquire and create knowledge by themselves. The content in four major domains, knowledge, skills, attitude & affection are integrated together through task-based learning. Besides English, Mathematics and Science, numerous electives are added for increasing the interest and curriculum diversity. Teachers in different subjects can co-operate and undergo cross-curricular teaching with suitable theme. Under the integration of curriculum, the subject knowledge can be merged in our daily lives (e.g. precaution of infectious disease, war on anti-terrorism and deflation of economy etc.) and this makes the learning more meaningful and authentic. Every cycle there are reading sessions to promote a positive reading atmosphere. There is a newly designed library full of rich and abundant reading material that captivates and encourages students to read more. A selection of books have already been chosen for students to share and read during their reading sessions. Teachers also recommend books for students and will also arrange special events such as an author book signing and a mobile book exhibition to motivate students to share their reading experiences with others. |
