| Language Policy |
English is the main Medium of Instruction in our school. We have two native English teachers who assist students in developing their English communication skills. Our language policy aims to increase students' exposure to English through the English Award Scheme and regular English Speaking Days. School announcements are made in both English and Putonghua. We have both Chinese and English Debate Teams, both of which have achieved success and won awards in various inter-school debating contests. Additionally, the Lam Woo Foundation has generously provided language scholarships to students demonstrating excellent performance in Chinese, English and Putonghua. |
| Learning and Teaching Strategies |
We place a strong emphasis on training our students to be biliterate and trilingual. In the junior forms, students are streamed based on their abilities in English and Mathematics, while in the senior forms, they are streamed based on their abilities in Chinese and English. This approach ensures that we can better cater to the individual needs of our students. Students also acquire generic skills and high-order thinking skills through various academic subjects. In the junior forms, both boys and girls have the opportunity to take Design and Technology and Home Economics to develop their life skills. In the senior forms, students have a wide range of subject choices in arts, science and commerce. We have implemented a school-based subject called Language Across the Curriculum specifically designed for S.1 students to facilitate their adaptation to the new English-learning environment. Our school library provides ample space for book exhibitions and talks on good books, and the school website is regularly updated with relevant information. |
| School-based curriculum |
1. Electives: 2X and 3X. For students studying three elective subjects in S.4, one elective subject can be dropped after the First Examination.<br> 2. Curriculum highlights: S.1 Language Across the Curriculum, S.1 Language Arts and Literature and S.5 General Education. |
| Approach to Catering for Learner Diversity |
In terms of academics, our school implements various measures to improve students' proficiency in Chinese, English, and Mathematics while addressing learning differences. For students in S.2 and S.3, we adopt ability grouping by offering advanced classes in English and Mathematics, as well as remedial classes in Chinese, English, and Mathematics. Additionally, we provide enrichment courses and study groups after school to cater to varying learning abilities and fully unleash students' potential. Apart from these measures, our teachers actively explore and implement diverse teaching strategies to accommodate learning differences within the classroom. A Special Education Needs Committee has been established to support students with special educational needs. To address learner diversity, the senior forms have split the four classes into five, allowing for more individual attention, support, and increased opportunities for student interaction. In the non-academic aspect, our school has formed a dedicated team to develop policies and support students' physical, mental, and social well-being. We place special emphasis on cultivating students' healthy habits, positive attitudes and values, life skills, and methods to resist temptation. |
| Approach to Integrated Education |
Our school adopts a 'whole-school approach' to promote inclusive education. We have established a Student Support Team, consisting of the Vice Principal, teacher coordinators, and subject teachers in Chinese, English, and Mathematics, to provide support for students with special educational needs. Teachers are also encouraged to participate in relevant courses on inclusive education to enhance their professional capabilities. Our school flexibly utilizes the 'Learning Support Grant' and other internal resources to provide diverse support for students with special educational needs. This includes hiring inclusive education tutors and assistants to provide appropriate support to students. Additionally, our school offers speech therapy and occupational therapy services to students in need of training. We also cater to students' learning differences through curriculum design, diverse teaching strategies, homework and assessment adjustments, aiming to enhance the learning outcomes of students with special educational needs. Our school closely collaborates with the Education Bureau and professionals such as educational psychologists, conducting regular individual meetings and student assessments. We also invite parents to participate in meetings and workshops. |
| Education Support for Non-Chinese Speaking (NCS) Students |
|
| Home-School Co-operation |
Maintaining a close liaison with our parents is of great importance to us. In addition to the Parent-Teacher Association (PTA), our school organises various events such as Parents' Nights and Parents' Days. The PTA arranges educational talks, workshops, interest groups, fellowship activities, and picnics for parents. Parents are also encouraged to volunteer and assist in conducting school activities. Furthermore, we provide regular newsletters to keep parents updated with the latest news. |
| School Ethos |
The School Ethos is established based on the teachings of the Holy Scriptures. Our students embody traits of modesty, self-discipline, and a strong desire to learn. The relationship between teachers and students is characterized by warmth and care. To provide guidance and support to our students, we have two school social workers from the Hong Kong Young Women's Christian Association, an educational psychologist from Sheng Kung Hui, Speech Therapist and experienced teachers who offer counseling services. In the first year (S.1), each class is assigned two form teachers to ensure enhanced pastoral care. |
| School Development Plan |
Our school's Major Concerns in the three-year cycle (2021-2024) include:<br>1. Be the light and Be enlightened<br>2. With Love We shine |
| Teacher Professional Training and Development |
Teachers are encouraged and supported in their professional development through continuing education, portfolio building, professional exchanges and lesson studies. We aim at building the school into a learning organisation. Talks, visits and interflow programmes are organised for teachers every year. |
| Life-wide Learning |
We offer a wide range of extracurricular activities, with over 50 types to choose from. These activities cover various interest areas, including academic study, interest classes, art, music, and sports training courses. Additionally, we organise annual leadership training camps for both junior and senior students. Our students regularly participate in cultural functions, visits, exhibitions, and overseas English study tours. They also engage in various types of study, join exchange programmes, and take part in social service tours to both mainland China and other overseas countries. |
