Our school values biliteracy and trilingualism. While promoting mother tongue education, we also offer Putonghua as a subject for our secondary school students. To enrich English learning, we have joined the NET scheme. Students have many opportunities to conduct conversations with the NET both inside and outside their classrooms. For the needs of the cross-border and newly – arrived students, we have regular elite and remedial classes. Our school also continuously encourages students to engage in reading and participate in Hong Kong Schools Speech Festivals (English, Putonghua, Cantonese) as well as external writing competitions, where they have consistently won awards. |

Subject panels and groups meet regularly to revise and tailor-made learning and teaching strategies in the hope of maximizing benefits to meet students' abilities and needs. Small learning groups are common whenever there is a need. Students will also be encouraged to learn outside their classrooms under our newly implemented 'Mobile Learning' Scheme in order to broaden their learning horizons. The school has updated the use of ipads and ebooks and adopted the practice of collaborative lesson planning and class visits to enhance learning and teaching efficiency.
