Language Policy English is used as the medium of instruction in most of the subjects. Through taking part in a wide range of fun English activities, students' English standard is much enhanced. For Chinese, their standard is raised through the Extensive Reading Scheme, Chinese week and the speech and public speaking contests. On top of the above, Putonghua is added to the F.1-F.3 curriculum. All these are in line with the government policy of grooming biliterate and trilingual individuals.
Learning and Teaching Strategies Being student-centred, we provide opportunities to students to broaden their experience and outlook. We help them develop skills and desire for autonomous learning and cultivate in them the love for reading and a positive attitude towards life.
School-based curriculum 1. Electives: 3X and 4X. Students may choose to take 3 or 4 electives according to their abilities.<br> 2. Curriculum highlights: Teachers will design suitable curriculum for students with different abilities.
Approach to Catering for Learner Diversity Catering for learner differences is one of our school's key tasks. We focus on the classroom level of the issue like graded exercises, grouping and questioning techniques. Curriculum support to Junior Forms includes: Chinese, English and Mathematics remedial classes, tutorial classes after school and during school holidays and enhancement classes for elite students. In Senior Forms, there is maximized flexibility in choice of elective subjects to cater for students of diverse abilities. Elite students are given opportunities to broaden their horizons, and are encouraged to participate in various inter-school competitions.
Approach to Integrated Education To enhance the effectiveness of integrated education, timely goals with corresponding policies and measures are set up in our school to cater for students with special educational needs (SEN):<br>1. Teacher training: School-based staff development days and talks are run to enhance teachers’ understanding of integrated education and SEN students. Teachers will take turns to enroll in relevant courses.<br>2. Curriculum accommodation: Adaptations to coursework assignments and examinations are incorporated to cater for students with SEN.<br>3.

Home-School Co-operation We have high-quality parents who not only take good care of their children but also spare their free time to assist with school work and run the parent-teacher association. Our PTA plays a key role in home-school communication. Their assistance in promoting parent education helps parents understand students' needs during adolescence, and improve their communication with their own children. The PTA also actively participates in community service, thus winning the commendation from the Agency of Volunteer Services and the Community.
