Language Policy |
In English, we set up an English learning environment in order to increase the opportunity of students encountering English. We adopt a wider approach of MOI policy with the help of other non-English subjects to organize activities and language learning opportunities for the students. Our school has partnered with Harrow International School Hong Kong to provide free an English Drama Course to broaden students' horizons.<br>Form One students had drama classes at Harrow International School, and English was integrated into various science and humanities subjects. English writing, solo verse speaking and debate workshops were also organised to comprehensively enhance pupils' English abilities. <br>With regard to Chinese Language, the curriculum focuses on reading training. By adding Chinese cultural elements, student are encouraged to cultivate their reading habits and enhance cultural literacy in order to boost up their level of Chinese.<br>Moreover, Chinese Week and Putonghua Week are held annually. In the annual Hong Kong School Speech Festival, our school’s Cantonese and Putonghua groups have won numerous awards. <br>The Chinese language curriculum uses worksheets and monthly reading themes to broaden students' horizons and cultivate an interest in reading. The School's Putonghua curriculum is standardised along the lines of the Putonghua Proficiency Test. Individual tutorials and Cantonese classes are available for pupils in need. |
Learning and Teaching Strategies |
With the establishment of the streaming system, the students’ learning diversity can be addressed. The school can clearly direct different subjects to formulate their assessment policies and procedures. The Study Council helps different subjects to analyse their tests and examination results and to inform the renewal of the school curriculum. The school promotes different means of IT learning with various learning tools in order to raise the learning and teaching efficiency and to strengthen students’ self-learning ability. Moreover, the school has started the STEAM programme and Maths Olympiad course. |
School-based curriculum |
