| Language Policy |
“Bi literacy and Tri lingualism” policy has been implemented to boost the atmosphere of language learning. Students are arranged to participate in numerous activities, such as Hong Kong Music and Speech Festival, English Weeks and Joint School Oral Practices, which we collaborate with more than ten other secondary schools to provide F.6 students with inter-school Chinese and English language oral practices. All these help widen students’ exposure to the target languages immensely. Through schemes like the “VR Writing Plan” with CUHK and "Southern District Literary Trail", students’ learning motivation has evidently increased. In addition, school adopts the "Allocation of time to subjects" arrangement in Mathematics and Science and “Extended Learning Activities" in English in junior forms in order to enhance their proficiency in English. |
| Learning and Teaching Strategies |
In order to cater for the diverse learning needs of students, our school has adopted a streaming system to help high achievers realize and reach their potential, and provide additional support for the students in need. For example, a counselling approach is reinforced for the lower achievers to help them strengthen their foundation. With the collaborative work between teachers and students, an all round education is provided to all students. To arouse students' interest in reading and to promote an extensive reading culture, all students are required to participate in the Morning Reading Scheme with a reward scheme for lower form students. On top of offering 13 electives in the Senior Curriculum, we also have Project Learning and Life and Society and Integrated Humanities in the junior forms to help develop their analytical and communication skills, creativity and encourage collaborative learning. Enhancement courses are introduced in every form to cater for individual differences this academic year. |

Through various after-school learning activities, the individual needs of both the high-achievers and the less able learners are catered for. A range of diversified extra-curricular activities will be organized to extend students' potential and add value to their personal advancement. |
| Approach to Integrated Education |
Vice principal, director of student affairs, director of counseling, special education need coordinator, social worker, educational psychologist work together as a team of the student support team to identify and support students who exhibit academic or behavioral problems by providing early systematic assistance to students and to connect them to appropriate interventions and supports. With the provision of the Learning Support Grant (LSG), different types of afterschool learning and support programs were organised such as speech therapy, Chinese and English learning support group for students with specific learning difficulties and social training group. For catering for students’ learning diversity, collaborative lesson planning between teachers jointly planning for their lessons in scheduled meetings, differentiated the teaching content, evaluate the students’ learning progress has been actively promoted throughout the school year. The school has also provided special education arrangements for students with special learning needs, such as extra time allowance, special room arrangement and screen readers. Different kinds of activities are also organized for fostering a school with integration. Through holding different types of talks for parents, a relationship based on mutual trust and respect is also developed. |

Moreover, to provide students with comprehensive support and help F.1 freshmen adapt to the secondary school life quickly, home visits are organised annually. |

Students are encouraged to develop a sense of responsibility and self discipline to enhance self recognition and develop a positive self image.
