| Language Policy |
The school adopts English as the medium of instruction in all classes and most of the subjects. To strengthen students’ ability in learning other subjects in English, we allocate extra resources to foster a language rich environment. Daily activities, such as announcements, assemblies, and school events are conducted in English supplemented by Putonghua and Cantonese to ensure that our students are biliterate and trilingual. Our school had hosted exchange students from foreign countries including France, Argentina, Turkey, Italy, USA, Germany, Denmark, Finland and Iceland, so as to enhance students’ English speaking proficiency and broaden their horizons. |
| Learning and Teaching Strategies |
Our school aims to provide a broad-based and balanced curriculum which helps students achieve balanced development in moral, intellectual, physical, social, aesthetic and spiritual aspects. We also focus on fostering independent thinking skills and developing a proactive and positive outlook in life. Since 2015, the school has been progressively implementing self-directed learning and e-learning in junior forms. By allowing students to reflect on their learning experiences, greater effectiveness in learning can be achieved. Our school emphasizes on the development of self-directed learning, providing vertical synergy in senior form subjects. We also offer a broad range of subjects for our senior secondary curriculum, along with the establishment of a talent pool and after-school enrichment and enhancement classes to cultivate and develop the potential of elite students. |
| School-based curriculum |
1. Electives: 3X. Students can choose 3 electives from 11 options according to their strengths and interest. Students have the flexibility to choose their combination of subjects. Besides, other language courses such as Japanese are offered by other institutions.<br> 2. Curriculum highlights: Our school caters to students’ learning diversity and promotes quality education. Not only are various enhancement, enrichment, and remedial classes provided, but Saturday support classes and junior form English tutorial classes are also provided to tailor to students’ learning needs. Language Arts and English Literature have been integrated into the junior form English curriculum. Not only does this provide a venue for students to express themselves in English, but it is also an opportunity to learn western cultures and broaden one’s worldview. Our school has recommended a Chinese book list to junior form students and has its own teaching materials which combine selected Classical Chinese Literature and notable Chinese Philosophy works. This enables students of all forms to develop a sense of aesthetics and appreciation for Chinese culture. The Mathematics department offers the Mathematics Olympiad programme for various forms. We encourage students to take part in competitions to improve their problem-solving skills. To develop students’ civic awareness and critical thinking skills, junior form Life and Society requires students to analyze current affairs and issues. Senior form students gain valuable learning experiences through the integration of service learning and curriculum. |
| Approach to Catering for Learner Diversity |
A dual class teacher system is implemented from F.1 to F.5. A wide variety of enhancement and remedial measures are introduced, with the collaboration of all departments, to ensure that students’ diverse learning needs are met. Our school also provides support for gifted students. We offer various learning opportunities to gifted students, including nominating students to attend gifted classes offered by universities. |
| Approach to Integrated Education |
Our school is dedicated to establishing a harmonious ambience by adopting the Whole School Approach for students with SEN. To provide further support to the SEN students, our school has hired an SEN coordinator and outsourced counselling services (such as speech therapy, and counseling provided by clinical psychologist), using the Learning Support Grant. Our school supports SEN students through the Guidance and SEN Committee (including a school-based educational psychologist). |
| Education Support for Non-Chinese Speaking (NCS) Students |

| Home-School Co-operation |
The school has established a close partnership with the Parent-Teacher Association. PTA supports various school functions such as Teacher's Day and the monitoring of the canteen’s food quality. Also, PTA holds various talks, lunch gatherings and interest classes in order to enhance mutual understanding between school and parents. |
| School Ethos |
Our students are humble and of great moral integrity. We adopt a holistic counselling approach in which the whole teaching staff works collaboratively with the guidance team well-supported by the school social workers and educational psychologists to provide professional counseling service. The Big Brothers and Sisters Scheme and various school functions involving parents are carried out to support the growth of students. We have cultivated a harmonious school culture which brings love and care. |
