Whole-school Language Policy:
Our school highly values English teaching and learning. Since the 2010-11 academic year, we have been using English as the main medium of instruction in our S.1 classes. (Please refer to the subjects offered in 2022/2023 and 2023/2024 School Year for further information). We foster improvements in our students’ English standard by offering various language activities, such as The English Language Institute in China’s (ELIC) English Summer Program, summer camps for learning English through cultural exchanges, English study tours to England and Australia, English Action Days, English drama competitions and performances. Students also take part in the English speech festival, English public speaking competitions, Scrabble competitions and debate competitions. To enhance the learning and teaching of English, our school uses English as the primary medium of instruction for many subjects. In addition, the daily announcements played in the morning on our PA system are conducted in English. On Saturday mornings, the school also conducts various English learning class.

Learning and Teaching Strategies:
To facilitate school development, our school has the following focuses:
1. Fostering proactive and self-motivated learners, arranging a timetabled self-regulated learning period to develop students’ lesson preparation and reflection habits.
2. Enhancing students’ proficiency in English learning to raise their English standards.
3. Introducing the Global Classroom programmes to offer students the opportunity to interact with foreigners and stimulate their curiosity about the world.
4. Establishing different measures, such as adopting the “Three-Tier Implementation Model”, to cater for learner differences and to plan and implement school-based gifted education, such as conducting tutorial and enrichment classes for both high and low achievers.
5. Promoting e-learning using e-learning platforms and applications such as Microsoft Teams, LoiloNote, Nearpod and eClass to arouse students’ interest in learning and cultivate the spirit of self-learning.
6. Enhancing learning effectiveness by teaching students useful learning strategies such as mind mapping, techniques to increase concentration, reading strategies, group discussions and note-taking skills.
7. Creating an atmosphere that encourages striving for excellence and personal development as well as recognises outstanding performance and significant improvement.

School-based curriculum:
1. Electives: 3X. 12 elective subjects. Most of them use English as the Medium of Instruction.
2. Curriculum highlights: To equip students with the necessary knowledge for the NSS curriculum, different curricula have been designed in addition to the formal curriculum. For example, for Junior forms, we offer Life Education and Computer Studies. To widen students’ learning experiences, Other Learning Experiences (OLE) sessions are scheduled in the afternoon of every Day 6. This allows committees and subject panels to organise diverse learning activities to promote a well-balanced, whole-person development in our students.

Development of the Four Key Tasks:
Cultivating Reading Habits: Reading across Curriculum (RaC) is an integral part of our curriculum. Students are given opportunities to read books and share their reading experiences in the RaC lessons. The school has students participate in the eRead Scheme. Additionally, the Library, English and Chinese departments encourage reading through a series of programmes and activities. Subject teachers, alongside their duties to teach subject content, also focus on enhancing students' English Language competence in reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills. There is collaboration across the curriculum for the purpose of aligning the teaching curriculum to cater for the language needs of students. The school is working with HKU Technology-Enriched Learning Initiative (TELI), led by Dr. Leon Lei, and one of the top MOOCs platforms, Coursera, for the first school-based Secondary 4 MOOCs curriculum. Secondary Four students from CCCKYC will be engaged in the new school-based MOOC curriculum offered by HKU TELI and Coursera. Apart from the training session provided by HKU TELI, CCCKYC students will be supported by Coursera to attain free verified certificates issued by top universities in the world.

Life Planning Education:
Our school equips students with information on further studies and career choices. We also develop students' understanding of their interests, abilities, potentials and needs so that they can make better subject or career choices. We have set up the Career Life Planning Day. Every year, class teachers meet with every student in their class to help them set goals and better understand their own development plans, so that the students can have a clear target to work towards.
