| Language Policy |
The school emphasizes the mastery of Chinese, English and Putonghua. While we use mother tongue in teaching to enhance students' understanding of knowledge, we also strengthen our students' English proficiency by creating a language rich environment and offering them an authentic setting. The school regularly organizes lively and interesting English activities to arouse student's interest in English. In junior forms, our school offers Putonghua classes to strengthen students' ability in Putonghua. The school also provides extra-support to Special Educational Needs (SEN) and Non-Chinese Speaking (NCS) students to improve their language learning. |

The curriculum covers all Key Learning Areas. There are measures to facilitate curriculum integration, remedial teaching and small class teaching. Teachers are constantly engaged in continuous professional development. We embrace a culture of lesson observation and collaborative lesson planning to enhance effectiveness of teaching and learning.

Our school is committed to developing an inclusive culture through the whole school approach (WSA) to support students with SEN. A student support team (SST) is established. Resources are deployed to provide appropriate and diversified support to students so as to enhance their learning and adjustment to the school life. The team members include the guidance teachers, class teachers, school social workers, the education psychologist, speech therapist, subject teachers and guidance assistants.<br>Adapted learning materials, homework strategies and/or assessment accommodation are provided to students in need. Their learning achievements are recorded and are reported to the parents when appropriate. We also assist our students in applying for public examination accommodation.<br>We treasure home-school cooperation. Regular communication channels are set up to facilitate parents’ participation with our team in formulating support strategies for students in accordance with their needs. Parent education is organized to equip parents with better understanding of children with SEN, so that they could render their support in alignment with various school measures. <br>We keep our teachers knowledgeable with upfront educational supports for SEN.
