| Language Policy |
We use English as the medium of instruction in most of the classes in junior forms. To cater for learner diversity, some subjects in S.1-S.3 are taught in Chinese supplemented with extended learning activities in English. For details, please refer to "Subjects offered 2023/24 and 2024/25" and our school webpage. Our policy is to create a language-rich environment to train students to become bi-literate and tri-lingual. The policy is implemented through tri-lingual assemblies, Top Readers Awards, English Speaking Days, English activities and Putonghua Club, etc. |
| Learning and Teaching Strategies |
We aim at enhancing learning and teaching effectiveness through curriculum planning and adaptation. Through the implementation of school-based curriculum, we strategically incorporate life-wide learning in our teaching and student learning. Our teachers plan lessons collaboratively, arrange lesson study and share their teaching experiences and resources regularly. In addition, we strive for additional resources in order to raise the quality of learning and teaching, such as applying for the Quality Education Fund. A variety of assessment tools are used to provide teachers with comprehensive information about student learning in order to enhance learning and teaching effectiveness. |

1. Electives: 3X. Senior secondary students can take three elective subjects and Mathematics Extended Part Module. For details, please refer to "Subjects Offered in 2023/24 and 2024/25".<br> 2. Curriculum highlights: Bridging Course is launched in S.1 to help students adapt to the new ways of learning in secondary education. STEAM Education has been merged into curriculum in order to strengthen students' abilities in the area of Science, Technology and Mathematics. To help S.3 students make subject choices and to prepare them for the Senior Secondary Education, taster programmes of elective subjects are arranged. Life education is incorporated in the formal curriculum through various subjects such as Religious Studies and Citizenship and Social Development as well as in the informal curriculum such as class teacher periods and life wide learning days. |
| Approach to Catering for Learner Diversity |
There are afterschool homework guidance classes for S.1 and S.2. Remedial classes for S.1-S.6 students are held after school. To cater for students’ learning interest and learning needs, senior form classes are split into groups. Subject panels and committees have formulated strategies in their schemes of work to cater for learner diversity. |
| Approach to Integrated Education |
The Pastoral Care Committee coordinates the deployment of resources and support measures for students of special education needs. To assist students with SEN, measures such as instructional adaptations and assessment accommodations, social skills training, study & writing skills workshops and remedial learning groups are implemented. Regular meetings and discussions on student progress are held. Professional and parents' views are solicited on formulating specific strategies for students with SEN. |

There is close bonding between home and school. |

We promote a simple and modest school climate and a harmonious relationship between teachers and students. We encourage students to follow the virtues of humility and charity of our patron St. Teresa. We uphold the principles of Preventive Education which centers on Reason, Religion and Love.

We foster strong religious atmosphere in school through morning assemblies, Religious Studies curriculum and love whole-school religious activities. |
