| Language Policy |
Our school values the importance of developing students’ proficiency in both English and Chinese languages in an integrated approach. In order to fulfill such mission, the creation of an English rich environment through diverse language learning activities both inside and outside the classroom contexts is a must-to-do duty. Our school also provides different learning platforms for our students to explore their potentials and showcase their individual talents. For example, the English Ambassadors are charged with the formidable tasks of organizing and coordinating student-oriented activities for arousing their peers' willingness in using English. We adopt a fine-tune policy on English learning in junior forms. In relation to it, English is used as the medium of instruction in some subjects in order to cater for learning needs. All subject heads of other subjects work hand in hand strenuously to introduce English vocabulary and reading texts to increase students’ exposure to English and consolidate their foundation of using English on a knowledge-based basis. Besides, we employ various measures to develop and enhance students’ language proficiency levels in Chinese and Putonghua for enabling them to equip themselves with a higher level of language proficiency in these languages for further studies and career development. |
| Learning and Teaching Strategies |
Students’ learning needs are always of our utmost concern. To cater for learner’s diversity and learning styles, our school has adopted different strategies at the school and subject level so that all students can move forward according to their learning continuum. Small-class teaching is adopted in some forms of core subjects for enhancing students’ classroom engagement and thus learning effectiveness. Remedial and gifted enrichment classes for students are organized after school for mixed abilities. Besides, cross subject collaboration facilitates the integration of learning elements, such as Language across Curriculums, cross curricular reading for developing students’ integrated knowledge and skills. Subject panels collaborate and organize cross-subject learning activities, with the aim of enhancing learning efficacy. Different strategies adopted in classrooms to address students varied abilities and needs, such as varying questions, flexible grouping and setting different requirements in the assignments for them. Furthermore, STEAM education and e-Learning are always on the top priorities. |
