| Language Policy |
Other than Chinese Language, Citizenship and Social Development, Life and Society, Chinese History, Putonghua, Visual Arts, Religious and Life Education, our school teachers use English as medium of instruction (EMI). In order to let students have more exposure to an English-speaking environment, teachers and students are encouraged to speak in English both inside and outside the classrooms. |
| Learning and Teaching Strategies |
The school promotes interactive learning and teaching through various e-learning platforms and apps to enhance students' interest and effectiveness in learning. Outside classrooms, graded and diversified e-learning materials based on their own abilities are provided to students for practice. The curriculum is continually being developed and refined to cope with the changing demands of society and students' interest. A wide variety of subjects are taught in the junior forms to enable students to develop their potential and strengths in different areas, and to set long-term goals. A variety of courses are offered in the senior forms to address the interest and capabilities of our students. These include courses in science, arts and commercial subjects for our students to pursue their aspirations. To ensure that the eight key areas are fully addressed, the school organises various interdisciplinary activities in different forms to develop students’ knowledge, generic skills and capabilities. |
| School-based curriculum |
1. Electives: 3X. We offer electives in different strands, namely Science, Technology, Humanities and Arts. Under the academic structure, there are a wide variety of combinations of elective subjects.<br> 2. Curriculum highlights: The element of English drama is introduced in the F.2 English curriculum. This specially designed curriculum aims at arousing the interest of F.2 students in learning English. Religious and Life Education is introduced in F.1-F.3 to foster students' positive values through the teaching of Christian ethical values. |
| Approach to Catering for Learner Diversity |
The school pays particular attention to cater for student diversity. To make it easier to cater for student diversity, class sizes in core subjects have been reduced where possible and remedial and elite classes are provided. Students who are of average abilities are encouraged to strive for excellence and high achievers are selected to participate in activities including competitions outside school to further develop their abilities. |
| Approach to Integrated Education |
Coordinated by the Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator and the Student Support Team, with the support of the Counselling and Guidance Committee, form teachers, subject teachers, the school social workers, the educational psychologist and the speech therapist, support measures are in place for facilitating the learning and growth of students. The school also makes use of the Learning Support Grant to implement support programmes such as the executive function skills training program, social skills training program, learning support group and study skills group etc. With various measures in training, counselling, adapted learning, and home-school cooperation, it is hoped that students can be more ready to tackle the challenges in learning and personal growth. |

| Home-School Co-operation |
The school invites members of the Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) to assist the school to organize different activities, such as the 'Fun Fair' to set up a booth. To strengthen communication between the school and the PTA, a meeting is held with representatives of teachers on a regular basis to discuss various issues and give advice to the school. Different activities are organized for parents and students to promote communication between parents and their children on one hand, and to develop students with a sense of belonging to the school on the other. The PTA also provides funding to improve school facilities so as to enhance the learning environment for students. In addition, scholarships are set up, encouraging students to go for all-round development. |
