Language Policy English is the main medium of instruction (please refer to the subjects offered in 2022/23 and 2023/24 for details) and we strive to enhance students' biliterate and trilingual abilities. In addition to the formal curriculum, reading programmes, debates, drama activities and school broadcasts are provided to achieve this goal. To nurture students' language abilities, we also encourage them to participate in different kinds of activities and competitions outside school.
Learning and Teaching Strategies We always strive to enhance students' learning effectiveness. Therefore, high-order thinking skills are highlighted in various subjects in order to promote problem-solving skills, critical thinking and creativity. We believe that this holistic education, which includes moral, intellectual, physical, social, aesthetic and spiritual aspects, enables students to develop in different areas.

Approach to Integrated Education The school aims to develop an inclusive school culture, enhance the understanding and acceptance of students with special educational needs by school personnel, students and parents and provide appropriate support for students in need. The Student Support Team, headed by the Special Educational Needs Coordinator, implements the Whole School Approach to Integrated Education, establishes an inclusive education policy and fully utilizes additional resources such as the Learning Support Grant. Effective plans are devised to arrange teachers to complete special education training. The school personnel, different professionals, parents and students are mobilized to work collaboratively to support students with special educational needs. Based on the needs of students, the school adopts different learning and teaching strategies to cater for students with diverse learning needs. For students with persistent and severe learning difficulties, the school provides them with individualized support, including drawing up individual education plans. The school establishes a regular communication mechanism to strengthen parents' understanding of the inclusive policy, deployment of resources and the support measures.
