Whole-school Language Policy:
As our school lays great stress on the development of Bi-literacy and Tri-lingualism, English is used as a medium of instruction in some junior form classes. (Please refer to the Subject Offered for details). In junior forms, our school arranges different classes according to students’ abilities; English together with Extended Learning Activities is adopted in teaching the subjects, namely, Mathematics, Integrated Science, Computer Literacy, Life and society:Resources and Economics Activities*(S3), Geography and History, to help students consolidate their English foundation. To brush up students’ English, our school makes the best use of formative assessment understanding their English standard and providing adequate support. English Department organizes learning activities with special features in each junior form, for example, English Healthy Cooking Competition, English Fashion Show Competition and so on, to help improve speaking abilities and nurture team spirit. Besides organizing a number of language activities by the Chinese and the English Departments, our school tries its best to improve the atmosphere of learning languages, in which students participate in morning assembly announcements and sharing in English and Putonghua, fostering students’ language learning through diversified activities. In addition, our school wholeheartedly promotes Chinese and English reading schemes and arranges afternoon reading periods with a view to consolidate students’ language foundation.

Our school promotes every classroom observation exchange, collaboration, group discussion, lesson study period, open classroom and any other professional development measure to enhance teaching efficacy through mutual observations (same subject or cross subjects) and self-reflections. Our school emphasizes reading, so there are regular afternoon reading periods from F.1 to F.4, cultivating students’ reading habits. The Education Bureau has appreciated our school’s cross-subject reading for several times as teaching force tries hard to establish a sound reading atmosphere. There is a reading scheme in every department in echo with various reading measures, including the activities like book exhibitions, reading at hall assembly, searching reading, book sharing, floating books and so on, which can help widen their horizons in reading, enhance their interests and acquire profound knowledge. Through analysing the students’ feedback of questionnaires in each form, their learning needs are promptly met.
