| Language Policy |
Our school emphasizes biliteracy and tri-lingualism. Extra resources have been allocated to promote language learning. During Chinese and English language lessons, students are streamed into small groups so that students' diverse needs could be catered and more effective strategies could be employed to enhance the language standard of the students. In some groups of our junior form classes, Mathematics and Science are taught in English. The school regularly organises extended learning activities to boost students' interest in language learning. To enhance students' proficiency in Putonghua, the school offers Putonghua lessons in all junior forms. |
| Learning and Teaching Strategies |
We endeavour to create a congenial learning environment for the students' all-round development. Various field trips to museums and overseas study tours promote self-directed learning and make learning possible inside and outside of classrooms. By carefully planning the depth and breadth of our curriculum and using Chinese as the medium of instruction, we strive to cater for the levels and needs of our students. The school also utilises information technology to facilitate students' acquisition of knowledge. Reading classes are arranged in junior forms to help students develop learning and reading strategies. We encourage our students to read regularly and extensively so as to broaden their horizons. In addition to the extensive reading scheme in English Language and Chinese Language subjects, the school library organises morning reading sessions, book exhibitions and inter-house reading competition to foster students' reading habit and strengthen their ability. STEM education encourages the application of interdisciplinary knowledge and the cultivation of students' generic skills. The "Start-up" program in the curriculum of Advanced Technology for junior forms takes it a step further by incorporating business elements into the curriculum, allowing students to experience the operation of a start-up company, from understanding the needs, designing products, to implementing marketing strategies in the context of a start-up business, enabling students to learn in authentic situations. |
| School-based curriculum |
1. Electives: 3X. Students can choose 3 out of 11 elective subjects.<br> 2. Curriculum highlights: To cater for the learning needs of students at different levels, our school has utilised additional resources and employed different teaching strategies. Students with learning difficulties will be allocated to remedial groups of a smaller class size. To assist the students to catch up with their fellow classmates, we tailor our curriculum and organise tutorial classes for the students. Apart from the formal academic curriculum, our school also stresses the importance of physical and mental development of our students. It is expected that all-round development can be achieved among our students through the reinforcement of “PRIDE (Proactiveness, Responsibility, Integrity, Diversity and Excellence)” qualities as Tzetinians. |
| Approach to Catering for Learner Diversity |
The school arranges common lessons of certain subjects for different classes in the same form so that students can be streamed into groups with a smaller class size based on their levels. On top of that, subject-based measures and differentiated teaching strategies have been adopted to support students’ diverse learning needs. Regular remedial and enhancement programmes are organised so that every individual in the school can be provided with adequate support. The Student Supporting Team supports SEN students. |

| Home-School Co-operation |
The Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) has been established since 1998. The PTA organises a myriad of activities with the aim of enhancing communications, education and cohesion. Additionally, the school's social worker regularly assists the PTA in the running of parents workshops under the programme, “Along with you”. Through talks, games, role-playing activities and day camps, parents are offered opportunities to better understand their children and the transitional changes they may encounter in secondary schools.
