| Language Policy |
English is our core medium of instruction, with Chinese and Putonghua being our twin thrust for biliteracy and tri-lingualism. |
| Learning and Teaching Strategies |
Our school offers a progressive learning environment to assist students in enhancing their life-wide learning and collaborative learning. Eventually, our students become self-directed and life-long learners.<br>We offer general grammar-school curriculum for junior students. In the senior level, we provide 10 elective subjects besides 4 core subjects. Our school also provides a variety of reading programmes, reading award schemes and Whole-school Reading Time to promote English and Chinese reading habit. |
| School-based curriculum |
1. Electives: 2X, 3X and 4X. Students may have their own choices according to their abilities and interests.<br> 2. Curriculum highlights: In the Senior Secondary Curriculum, we offer students a wide range of school-based OLE opportunities encouraging them to participate in five areas, namely Values Education, Community Service, Career-related Experiences, Aesthetic Development and Physical Development. With the support of EDB’s “Diversity Learning Grant”, we can offer HKDSE Music, PE and "Other Languages Course" (Japanese) to our students as elective subjects. The language course follows the curriculum leading to the stipulated language examinations administered in Hong Kong by the official cultural organizations which are the official providers of the language examinations concerned. Also, we arrange some students to take Applied Learning courses which provide a linkage with different professional and vocational fields. |
| Approach to Catering for Learner Diversity |
Our school implements a number of support measures for academically gifted students and students with learning difficulties, in line with our whole-school initiative to cater for learner diversity. |
| Approach to Integrated Education |
Our school is dedicated to establishing an inclusive culture which supports students with special education needs with a whole school approach and offers appropriate and diversified support services to enhance their learning efficacy and assist them in being integrated into their school life. The Student Support Team (SST) consists of the SEN coordinator, an educational psychologist, a speech therapist and teachers. The whole school approach is implemented through the form-based meetings in our school, where subject panel heads, class teachers and subject teachers of the SEN students collectively devise appropriate support measures for the students with the attendance of parents and the educational psychologist for the support work where necessary. Taking into consideration of the needs of the SEN students and views of various stakeholders, our school offers appropriate support for the SEN students and refer them to educational psychologists for follow-up measures, e.g. formulating an individual education plan for specific students. We offer appropriate support to our SEN students by external services and experts with Learning Support Grant. Adjustments are made for SEN students both in internal assessments and assisting in their application for public examinations. With an emphasis on cooperation between the school and parents, our school has set up a regular communication platform through interviews, meetings, etc. to negotiate and review related support measures. With a view to elevating the professionalism of our teaching staff with regard to caring for SEN students, the school arranges teachers to take training courses provided by the EDB and encourages them to attend seminars and sharing sessions to strengthen their professional competence. |
| Education Support for Non-Chinese Speaking (NCS) Students |
|
| Home-School Co-operation |
The healthy development of students depends not only on professionalism in offering care and nurture, but also on parent-school collaboration. Hence, our school places substantial emphasis on our communication and collaboration with parents. Apart from the Parent-Teacher Association, our school also makes use of other platforms for direct communication, namely various Parents’ Days (S1 Orientation Day, form-based Parents’ Days, etc.) and Parents’ Nights (S4 Promotion and Streaming Forum, S6 Parents' Night, etc.) as well as parent-school gatherings. Besides, our school strives to establish regular connection with parents through the School Bulletin, letters to the parents, the school website, the mobile app as well as the school-based questionnaire for parents. |
| School Ethos |
Our students are top-notch, diligent and responsible, all conducive to a good learning atmosphere. Our school's social worker service is provided by the Hong Kong Family Welfare Society. The Guidance Committee is made up of seasoned teachers. Pastoral care includes the 'Guidance Prefects Scheme' for S1 to S3 students, S2 Training Camp, life education, morning assemblies with teachers' sharing, talks/seminars, etc. Also, a class tutor is arranged for every class to assist the class teacher, strengthen class-building and foster a caring atmosphere. All these measures help to enhance students' self-discipline and moral standards, serving to strengthen the caring atmosphere among students and their sense of belonging to the school. These years, we have introduced positive education. It aims at nurturing and utilizing students' character strengths and potentials and facilitating personal development on positive elements so that they are able to better encounter their stress and challenges in their daily life, and ultimately to have a flourishing life. |
| School Development Plan |
To enhance students' qualities, we formulate a school development plan on targets of self-discipline, self-empowerment and self-confidence for students to pursue. With school-based activities, we hope to strengthen their all-round development and training on the five aspects, i.e. moral, intellectual, physical, social and aesthetic, thereby building their confidence in leading to a positive life. |
| Teacher Professional Training and Development |
Through various activities, we strive to promote mutual understanding and communication among colleagues, in addition to cultivating a collaborative spirit to achieve our goal of enhancing life-wide pedagogical effectiveness. |
| Life-wide Learning |
Our school is devoted to providing a balanced education for students. By actively participating in extra-curricular activities, students are able to develop their potential to the full. Every student joins one of our four Houses. School life teems with over 30 clubs and societies. We also hold school-based activities to liven up campus life and boost the self-confidence of our students. These include fun-filled Inter-class Performing Arts Competitions, Whole School Activities Day, Sports Days, etc. |
