Whole-school Language Policy:
Based on mother-tongue education, individual English learning units and extended English learning activities are embedded in the junior form curricula including Mathematics, Integrated Science, Life and Society, Home Economics and Music, in order to upgrade students’ English proficiency and enrich their English vocabulary. This can pave the way for students learning these subjects in English in senior secondary. Our school adopts small-class teaching in English lessons and there is one class in each form of S.1 to S.3 using Putonghua to teach Chinese. The Campus Television Station and the English Corner at our school provide ample authentic opportunities for students to speak and use English and Putonghua in the campus.

Learning and Teaching Strategies:
CBT is to develop students’ multiple intelligences and upgrading biliterate proficiency. Through the formal curriculum and life-wide learning, students can develop their learning skills and become life-long learners. Our school puts a lot of emphasis on curriculum planning, implementation and assessment. Curriculum integration is encouraged students to apply knowledge in various subjects and their generic skills can be developed. In addition, to enhance teachers’ professional development and to maximize their teaching effectiveness, collaborative lesson planning and peer lesson observation are practised in our school. To facilitate students’ learning, teachers also assess students’ attitude and progress by adopting formative assessments such as giving feedback. Moreover, benchmarks have been set for students in all major subjects, i.e. Chinese Language, English Language, Mathematics, Life and Society and Science, so as to equip them for the new Senior Secondary Curriculum as well as to pave the way for them to receive tertiary education upon graduation. With the use of multimedia, internet and tablet computers (iPad), e-learning elements are integrated into the curricula of various subjects in order to facilitate effective, interactive and autonomous learning; while catering for diverse learning needs. Promoting STEM education is one of the developmental focuses in the continuous optimization of our school curricula, aiming at equipping students with ample creativity, problem-solving skills, and related general knowledge, values to accustom themselves to society being changed by fast-paced technological development. In addition, through participating in community services, overseas study tours, and diverse activities related to life planning, moral and civic education, our students are well-equipped with positive values, healthy living habits, eagerness to acquire new knowledge. Students will be responsible and willing to seek for meaningful life and to share and contribute to our community.

School-based curriculum:
1. Electives: 2X and 3X. Please refer to the school website for subject arrangements.
2. Curriculum highlights: Based mainly on the guidelines provided by the Education Bureau and Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority, the curricula of some subjects are also modified with school-based learning materials and specially designed tasks to meet our students' needs, and to cater for learner diversity.

Development of the Four Key Tasks:
CBT is eager to promote initiatives like IT in teaching, moral and civic education, project learning and developing a reading culture. In particular, CBT’s efforts in promoting IT in learning and teaching as well as civic education have been commended by the Quality Assurance Division of the Education Bureau. The school has recently promoted e-learning and STREAM strategies in a proactive manner in order to enhance learning and teaching efficacy. In addition, various reading schemes have been launched to promote reading in CBT, including Class Reading Lessons, a Top Reader Competition, a Reading Ambassador Scheme and an English Reading Award Scheme. A number of other activities are also held to foster the reading culture in our school, for example, talks by famous writers, book fairs, promotion of new books and book sharing by teachers and students. We have a well-established STEAM Lab and Biotech Lab which provide cutting-edge technologies for teachers and students to promote innovative activities and related curricula.
