Language Policy Our school uses English as MOI for all classes and all subjects other than Chinese Language, Chinese Literature, Chinese History and Putonghua. Meanwhile, we train our students to be biliterate and trilingual by providing them with a learning environment that is conducive to the learning of languages.
Learning and Teaching Strategies We aim at nurturing students' all-round development. We stress the importance of language proficiency and self learning skills. Apart from the formal curriculum, ample opportunities are provided for students to learn beyond the classrooms. Various kinds of activities including visits, study, trips and sharing sessions are organised to enrich students' learning experiences. These activities provide the moral and civic education that they need for life-wide learning.
School-based curriculum 1. Electives: 3X. In the past two years, school-based curricula have been developed in S1-3 Chinese, English, Mathematics, Life and Society and STEM & IT to equip students with subject-specific learning skills and smoothen their transition from primary school level to junior secondary level. <br> 2. Curriculum highlights: The curriculum of our school is tailor-made to suit the needs and interests of our students. In addition to the school-based curriculum in various academic subjects, we have also designed special programmes to enhance our students' learning and boost their confidence. Furthermore, school-based gifted programmes in different subjects are organised to enable academically gifted students to develop their potentials.
Approach to Catering for Learner Diversity Our school provides counselling and assistance to students according to their abilities and needs. We believe that these will help students learn effectively and cultivate a harmonious and stable learning environment: <br>1. Starting from the academic year 2021/2022, class teacher period and assembly period have been introduced to offer support to student growth and development; individual counselling will be provided for each S6 student to help them prepare for further studies and set goals.<br>2. Two elite classes are established in both S2 and S3 to enrich students' subject knowledge and stretch their potential.<br>3. Our school nominates students to gifted programmes organised by external organisations to broaden their horizons.<br>4. For students who are lagging behind, our school offers enhancement classes of different subjects. For instance, after-school English, Chinese and Math remedial classes are offered to S.1 and S.2 students to help strengthen their foundation.
Approach to Integrated Education Ramps and lifts are available for students with physical needs. Furthermore, our school offers SEN support and referral that abide by the EDB guidelines. In addition, the post of Special Education Need Coordinator was established in our school in 2019/2020 according to EDB policy.
Education Support for Non-Chinese Speaking (NCS) Students
Home-School Co-operation The PTA of the school was established in 1999 to enhance communication and cooperation between the school and the parents. The PTA organises various seminars, workshops, sharing sessions and gatherings for parents. Furthermore, the PTA renders its support to the school by helping with extra-curricular activities and offering academic awards to students.
School Ethos Our students are well-behaved and self-disciplined; they are committed to the school's ethos of simplicity and integrity. The relationship between teachers and students is close and harmonious.
School Development Plan 1. Adopt a whole-school approach to career guidance and life planning.<br>2. Appreciate and cultivate positive value among students.<br>3. Unleash students' potential.<br>4. Strengthen students' learning skills to build a solid foundation for their learning.<br>5. Strengthen students' learning motivation in their pursuit of knowledge.<br>6. Nurture a learning community to promote shared learning among students and professional exchange among teachers.
Teacher Professional Training and Development The staff development team arranges professional trainings, talks and seminars to enhance the quality of learning and teaching and student support. The staff share and disseminate good practices.
Life-wide Learning Our school encourages students to take part in both inter-school and intra-school activities. Our student organisations consist of Students' Union, four Houses and different clubs, which include academic, interest, sports and service groups. Besides, there are leadership training programmes, study tours and service programmes. We also nominate students to join different outstanding student elections, and cultural exchange programmes to widen their horizons.
