| Language Policy |
The school has put much emphasis on the implementation of biliteracy and trilingaulism, especially our students' English standard. English as the medium of instructions has been adopted in all subjects in all forms (except Chinese Language, Chinese History, Putonghua, Chinese Literature, senior form Visual Arts and Liberal Studies). Putonghua is taught as a separate subject (2 lessons per week) and is also adopted as the medium of instruction in Chinese Language subject in some classes. In order to strengthen the English Language Arts education and better prepare our students for the NSS, English Language Arts is offered in junior form. |

Our school has adopted the Whole School Approach (WSA) to integrated education (IE) based on five underlying principles, namely early identification, early intervention, WSA, home-school co-operation and cross-sector collaboration. With the active cooperation of an educational psychologist, a clinical psychologist, two school social workers, the Student Support Team and the Counselling Committee, we have developed effective strategies to support our students with special needs and safeguard the mental health of our teachers and students. Our Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCO) is tasked with integrating the resources and strengthening the liaison between the teachers of different subject panels and external professionals in order to provide educational activities and counseling service for our students with special needs. Besides,<br>our school organizes Home-school forums, Christmas Dinner, small group meetings and WhatsAapp groups for parents of Form 1 students. Individual parents may receive phone calls or meet our teachers in person as necessary. To give further support to the students and their families in need, after-school remedial classes are arranged 5 days a week on a regular basis and “Revision Classes” are conducted during the Uniform Tests and Examinations to provide extra support to our students. Our school has also joined the Healthy School Programme and the Challenge Unlimited Quadratic Scheme. Together with a variety of extra-curricular activities, we aim to encourage our students from different family backgrounds to establish friendship, accept one another and foster an inclusive and harmonious culture in our school campus. |
