| School-based curriculum |
1. Electives: 2X and 3X. Compulsory subjects include English, Chinese, Mathematics, Citizenship and Social Development, Religious Studies and Physical Education. Students are also required to choose two to three electives from the 13 subjects provided by the school.<br> 2. Curriculum highlights: We emphasize on self-regulated learning through a student-centered approach and a lesson preparation policy. A structured and coherent value education curriculum covering the six domains of personal growth, family, interpersonal relationships, society and nation, school and work, is launched by the Moral and Civic Education Committee in collaboration with the Discipline Committee, the Guidance Committee, the Careers Committee and the Religious Committee. To instil positive attitudes and proper value judgement, a range of OLE opportunities, such as voluntary service, talks, interactive theatre and career planning, are arranged. |
| Approach to Catering for Learner Diversity |
We have a peer counselling scheme to help new S.1 students to adapt as soon as possible to life in secondary school. An SEN supporting team was established in 2009 to work with an education psychologist to identify and support SEN students. Various teaching strategies like "lesson studies" and "Teaching and Learning in meta-cognition" are employed to cater for different learning needs of students. |
| Approach to Integrated Education |
The school Student Support Team is run under the supervision of the vice principal in-charge of student affairs and led by an SENCO. Other members include class teachers and subject teachers of the students with SEN. Academic Committee, Discipline Committee, Guidance Committee, Examinations Team and Student Support Team work together to offer cross-functional support to SEN students. Other professionals like school social workers, the education psychologist and the speech therapist also provide assistance. <br>Based on professional advice and with the consent of parents, the school uses flexibly various grants such as Learning Support Grant to provide various support to students with SEN, e.g. social skills training, speech therapy, reading and writing training, integration activities and adjustments to assessments. Personalized study plans are also formulated for individual students. Various talks and workshops are held for parents and teachers in order to strengthen support for students with SEN. The members of Student Support Team communicate and collaborate closely with parents to understand the needs of the students. The team also invites parents, teachers and other professionals to meetings and interviews to discuss students' progress and gather opinions, which, if necessary, will be passed to relevant groups for follow-up. |
| Education Support for Non-Chinese Speaking (NCS) Students |
|
| Home-School Co-operation |
Established in 1994, the PTA aims at strengthening the bonding and co-operation between the school and the parents, assisting the school to realize its educational goals, improving the welfare of students, and enhancing the enforcement of the school policies. Eventually, it aims at building up the partnership between the school and families. |
| School Ethos |
The school would expect students to lead a modest style of ethics, with emphasis on both discipline and caring. A "Dual Form Teachers" system is run for S.1 classes to strengthen support for both parents and students of Form 1. Under the Peer Counselling Scheme, S.1 students are paired to senior form schoolmates from whom they can learn about how to adapt to secondary school life. Our PTA and Alumni also offer more than 50 scholarships each year in recognition of students with remarkable performance in different aspects. |
