Language Policy Learning English is a key policy of the School. Different programmes are adopted to promote the use of English. MOI has been fine-tuned in junior forms and Extended Learning Activities in English are adopted in several subjects. Language activities include English Speaking Friday, English Ambassadors, English Day and English Day Camp.
Learning and Teaching Strategies Our teachers are committed and conscientious. They teach with skill and patience, and various teaching strategies are adopted to cater for individual differences. They are devoted to improving every student's learning performance. In recent years, our students have made good progress in their studies and as indicated in the public examinations, our academic standards have been raised. We endeavour to enhance the effectiveness of formal and informal curriculums. Collaborative lesson planning is held in junior English, Mathematics and Chinese panels as well as the panel of Liberal Studies. Life-wide learning is promoted through various ways to enrich students' learning experiences. We also have Morning Reading Sessions, 'Read to Learn' Reading Award Scheme, Chinese/English Extensive Reading Schemes, Chinese/English On-line Reading Schemes, Good Book Sharing, Authors' Talk, Reading Club, Student Reading Ambassadors and Chinese Writing & Enhancement Course.
School-based curriculum 1. Electives: 2X and 3X. Senior form students can choose two to three electives subjects according to his/her academic ability.<br> 2. Curriculum highlights: - Develop multi-intelligence, promote cooperative learning, cater for diverse learning needs, develop generic skills, etc.<br>3. "Aspiration & Interest Extended Module" is a school-based curriculum for our senior form students. It provides many different courses for students to choose from. They include "ApL (Mode 2) Patisserie & Café Operations", "ApL (Mode 2) Applied Japanese and Japanese Culture", "Dare to Think Career Programme", "STEM A.I. Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Operation and Basic Programming", "The first exploration into the world of oil painting", "Chinese Cultural Special Topic Studies", "English-Viewing Fun Fair" and "Logical mathematics problem-solving training", etc. Tasting these courses would arouse students' aspirations. Students will have better future plans if they know more about their potential.
Approach to Catering for Learner Diversity The classes have been split into 6 to 7 groups per form in language lessons and 5 groups per form in Mathematics lessons so as to maximize teacher-student and student-student interactions.
Approach to Integrated Education Our school strives to build up an inclusive and caring school culture. A "whole-school approach" is adopted to support students with special education needs (SEN). Many appropriate and diverse services are provided for their growth as well as enhancing their learning effectiveness. Our school uses the "Learning Support Grant" to employ additional staff to take care of their learning. Based on the needs of students, adjustment would be arranged on their learning, homework and examination. Our school educational psychologist helps students to do professional assessment, referral and follow-up. She designs individual education plans for students in need in collaboration with other professional parties. Parent and school co-operation is vital. Form teachers would consistently work with parents to implement appropriate measures to support students to grow up properly.
Education Support for Non-Chinese Speaking (NCS) Students
Home-School Co-operation 1. Our school's Parent-Teacher Association strongly supports the school's development by sponsoring scholarships annually to students who demonstrate good conduct and academic achievements, as well as subsidies for students' activities. Furthermore, some parents also participate in service work organized by the school.<br>2. The teachers at our school also enhance communication between the school and parents through the Intranet system and phone calls. Additionally, we organize Parent-Teacher Day to foster the parent-teacher rapport.
School Ethos The school atmosphere is harmonious and the students are well-behaved. Through a wide variety of activities such as hall assemblies, class teacher periods and visits, we strive to promote the moral development of students. We place great emphasis on such virtues as diligence, politeness, discipline and responsibility so that students will have a correct outlook on life and they can distinguish between right and wrong. Young people need concern and support from others. Caring and considerate, our teachers are dedicated to providing a loving and warm learning environment for students.
School Development Plan Hong Kong people are striving hard for their future and our teachers are doing the best in their job, caring about the well-being of our students. We will offer plenty of opportunities to students to boost their confidence and develop their abilities for a very successful life in their future, and more importantly they can make contributions to our nation and Hong Kong.
