| Language Policy |
Students in senior forms learn either in Chinese or English depending on their ability. Students can have their English proficiency and confidence heightened through various enrichment programs/ activities funded by the 3.3 million-dollar Language Fund. Our teachers were invited by Hong Kong University and EDB to share our English Bridging Program design, which is highly commended. In response to the fine-tuned MOI arrangements, Integrated Science, Geography and Integrated Humanities are taught in English for all junior classes, with teaching, homework and assessments all in English to facilitate students' learning of these two disciplines at the senior levels. |
| Learning and Teaching Strategies |
To further enhance our teaching quality, we implement small class teaching and group lesson preparation schemes to cater for individual differences. Students' high order thinking skills are developed through a step-by-step approach to promote our project learning and reading schemes. We strive to provide a balanced curriculum, emphasizing students' gradual development and exposure to various learning experiences. We lay great emphasis on homework quality and submission punctuality. Students with homework problems are required to attend the after-school homework guidance class. With teachers' anticipation of their public exams performance, students are further motivated to work with attainable goals. Students' learning experiences are extended and intensified strategically through careful grading and design of activities. Reading culture is promoted through a whole-school approach, including the Morning Reading Scheme and regular teachers' sharing. |
| School-based curriculum |
1. Electives: 2X and 3X. <br>F.4, F.5: 3 electives. We also provide school- based 'other learning experiences' to broaden students' horizons and better prepare them for further studies.<br>F.6: 2 electives <br> 2. Curriculum highlights: The major objective guiding the design of the Integrated Science and Integrated Humanities curricula is to help enhance students' English proficiency and match their language needs at the NSS levels. |
| Approach to Catering for Learner Diversity |
An "English Ambassadors Scheme" has been implemented to let teachers and the English ambassadors join hands to enhance Form One students' English Proficiency. After-school Chinese, English and Mathematics tutorials are provided for academically weaker and average students. Small class teaching is offered across Form 1 to 3 levels. Form 1 to 4 repeaters have their foundations strengthened through attending tailor-made summer classes. After-school tutorials for F.4 to F.6 classes by all subjects is systematically coordinated by school. |
| Approach to Integrated Education |
Our school is dedicated to establishing an inclusive and caring campus through the " the Whole School Approach " to support students with special educational needs, providing them with diversified support services to enhance their learning effectiveness. The members of the "Student Support Team" include the Vice Principal, Special Educational Needs Coordinator, teachers who have received special education training, counselors, and educational psychologists. Special Educational Needs Coordinator and the educational psychologists provide training and support for teachers regarding students with special educational needs. Additionally, our school flexibly utilizes the "Learning Support Grant" in conjunction with other resources to hire additional staff (including counselors) and purchase professional services such as speech therapy, attention training groups, social groups, and reading and writing skills training groups to support students. Our school also provides IEP for those in need. Counselors and teachers communicate with parents regularly. |
| Education Support for Non-Chinese Speaking (NCS) Students |

| Home-School Co-operation |
We keep constant contact with parents, discussing issues concerning students' academic progress and personal growth. To be successful, all-round education requires mutual understanding between school, parents and students and this is achieved through our annual parents days, variety night shows and Parents-Teacher Association activities. With both teachers and parents working collaboratively and enjoying good relations, students' well-being and welfare will be enhanced much more effectively. To further enhance home-school cooperation and communication, we use eclass system for all parents to inform them of latest school news and announcements. We continue our ‘Parents’ Class Scheme’ to promote the concept of ‘Positive Education’, so that parents and children have more positive beliefs by joining lectures and workshops. In addition, the ‘ Parent Education Award Scheme’ is implemented to encourage parents to participate in various school activities. |
| School Ethos |
We believe that all students are endowed with self-awareness and great potentials and properly nurtured, they all can appreciate the width and depth of their life. To realize this, we implement the Living with Stamina Scheme to help them become self-disciplined and all-round individuals. |
