| Language Policy |
Our language policy is in the line with the EDB policy of promoting biliteracy and trilingualism in Hong Kong schools. To provide our students with more opportunities to be exposed to and use English at junior secondary levels, we are revising and developing our school-based curriculum in English Language for junior form students and running English Enhancement Courses for senior form students. Concurrently, English terms will also be incorporated in the learning materials of other non-language subjects. Supporting measures such as Chinese and English Extensive Reading Schemes, Morning Reading Scheme, participating in Chinese and English Speech Festival, English Debating Competition, organizing tutorial classes for Chinese and English and English Drama Performance are also conducted so as to meet the policy goal of upholding mother-tongue teaching while enhancing students' proficiency in both Chinese and English. |
| Learning and Teaching Strategies |
Our school emphasizes learning & teaching effectiveness. Different forms of assignments are designed, including extensive reading, project work and tailor-made worksheets. An adequate number of elective subjects are offered to cultivate an all-round education. Under NSS, senior form students can choose at most 2 elective subjects from various elective subjects. Our school provides a school-based curriculum to enhance students' motivation in learning and making achievements. We encourage our students to read extensively through our Morning Reading Sessions, Extensive Reading Award Scheme. The English Corner and the Chinese Corner also house a variety of audio-visual aids and materials for students' leisure reading. Our school promotes self-directed learning strategies to encourage students to do pre-lesson preparation and develop their note-taking skills. Self-directed Learning Apps are developed by our ICT teacher to nurture students with good self-learning habits. To enhance students' self-confidence and presentation skills, our school provides opportunities for developing multi-intelligence such as debating and MC training. |

The school adopts a whole school approach to Integrated Education. Student Support Team members include Principal, SENCO, subject teachers (Chinese, English and Mathematics), teaching assistant etc. The team supports students with special educational needs.

The school makes good use of the Learning Support Grant and other school resources to provide a variety of support for students with special educational needs, such as employing integration teaching staff for individual or group academic tutorial class, individual emotional counselling, life skills and social skills small training groups and speech therapy service. Through curriculum designs, multi-dimensional teaching approaches, tiered assignments and homework, and tailor-made assessment, students' learning diversity is catered for.
