| Language Policy |
With the enforcement of the fine-tuning of Medium of Instruction Policy, our school allocates the lesson time allowed for extended learning activities in English to the teaching of Mathematics from S.1 to S.6. Different strategies such as promoting the Extensive Reading Scheme and remedial teaching are used to enhance effective English learning. S.4 to S.6 English split classes are set up to help both the academically stronger and weaker students. There are English Enhancement classes on Saturdays and summer holidays and various English activities like English Week and English Assembly throughout the school year. A native English teacher helps organize different English activities and speaking practices for students. An LAC curriculum has been developed for S.1 and S.2. Besides, collaboration projects between English and two other subjects (Maths and IS) are launched in junior forms. |
| Learning and Teaching Strategies |
To improve the quality of learning and teaching, our school has been making effort to design a wide-ranging curriculum to cater for the diverse abilities of students. Split class teaching is adopted in the three core subjects, namely, English, Chinese and Mathematics. There are also Chinese, English and Mathematics enhancement classes in senior forms. Collaboration, peer observations and professional sharing are common among teachers. Other than the formal curriculum, our school also emphasizes the whole person development of students. Senior students are encouraged to participate in local & overseas study tours, which broaden students' horizons. Life and Society is one of the subjects in S.1 to S.3. Various modes of teaching are used to cater for learners' diversity. |
