Whole-school Language Policy:
The School emphasizes English Language learning. For some junior form classes, English is adopted as the medium of instruction for Mathematics and Integrated Science. At most 25% of the lesson time has been used to conduct Extended Learning Activities in English in most subjects except Chinese Language, Chinese History and Putonghua in junior secondary. Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Economics in the Senior Secondary have offered both English and Chinese classes in order to cater for the student's learning needs. The School has formally established the Language Across the Curriculum Committee to enrich student’s English learning among different subjects and enhance students’ confidence and abilities in using English. We have input extra resources to employ additional English teachers, teaching assistants and English extracurricular activities and enhancement classes instructors to provide various English proficiency classes and activities after school and during holidays in order to cater for students’ diverse needs.

Learning and Teaching Strategies:
We promote students' initiative in learning. Learning skills are formally taught in junior forms to help students build up good study habits, including having pre-lesson studies preparations, maximizing the use of e-Learning platforms, organizing personal notes and so on. The School constantly upgrades IT facilities and makes good use of them in learning and teaching. We also put emphasis on knowledge construction and interactive learning through using various types of information technology. Field studies and activities outside the classroom are frequently organized to promote active learning. We encourage students to participate in various inter-school competitions to gain valuable experiences and broaden their horizons. We also have English street interviews and English speaking days to enhance the English learning environment. The main objective is to help students acquire life-learning skills.

School-based curriculum:
1. Electives: 2X. Every student may choose 2 elective subjects, plus the Mathematics Extended Part and/or the third elective if the student is capable. There are altogether 15 elective subjects offered. This creates up to a hundred combinations to fit students’ needs and interests.
2. Curriculum highlights: (1) Nurturing students’ interests in learning English and enhancing students’ English abilities: We have small-class teaching in S.1 to S.6 English lessons to create more opportunities for students to use English. We strive to create a fruitful and joyful English learning environment to motivate students with various activities, such as English Speaking Days, inter-class English competitions, snacks-making workshops, English Cafes, Reading Club, movies and songs appreciation sessions, etc. We also provided special English language arts experience to S.4 students in the past by recruiting experienced foreign tutors to conduct activities, including face painting, Bollywood dancing and comic design. (2) Promoting STEM education: We conduct different activities and cross-curricular collaboration projects to strengthen our students’ knowledge, skills and confidence in observation, application, analysis, problem-solving, integration and evaluation, so as to nurture students' strong interest in learning. (3) Small-class teaching: We recruit extra teachers to enable more small-class teaching to offer better support to students. We have small-class teaching in English, Chinese, Mathematics, Computer Literacy, Home Economics, and Design & Technology lessons. We have classes using Chinese or English as the medium of instruction in Mathematics, Science and Humanities. There are different levels of enhancement classes for students during weekends and holidays.

Development of the Four Key Tasks:
1) The School emphasizes Reading. We have morning reading periods twice a week. Class libraries have been installed in all classes. There are lots of reading activities, including Chinese and English bookcrossing and Chinese book reports competitions, to promote a good reading habit and atmosphere.
2) Our teachers make good use of interactive learning tools and electronic learning platforms, including Google Classroom, Explain Everything, Edpuzzle, Kahoot!, Padlet, Quizizz, and flipped activities to enhance self-motivated learning. All these enrich teacher-student and student-student interactions and enable teachers to provide instant feedback to students. Teachers can monitor their teaching effectiveness and students’ learning progress.
3) The School integrates STEM elements into the junior secondary project learning across different subjects in order to develop students’ problem solving skills and investigative ability, preparing students for the school-based assessment in senior secondary.
4) The School promotes the education of 'Diligence, Integration, Respect and Commitment'. Different activities have been designed for different levels, including adventure-based training, social services experiences, activities on understanding global citizenship, discussions on current affairs and so on, in order to develop students’ positive values and proper attitudes and hence to foster students’ positive potentials.

Life Planning Education:
Our school values career and further studies guidance. Life Planning Education and Career Guidance are systematically implemented through seminars, visits, experiential schemes and small-group counselling. We aim at guiding students to explore their own interests, abilities, needs and aspirations, so as to help them make wise and responsible choices for their future study and career as well as develop positive attitudes towards learning and working.
