Whole-school Language Policy:
The biliterate and trilingual environment provided by the school gives Sun Kei students an advantage of a firm and diverse language basis. The school adopts English as the medium of instruction for all subjects except the Chinese-related subjects, Chinese History, Visual Arts and Religious Education. For S.1 and S.2, Chinese Language lessons are taught in Putonghua. Our English teachers communicate with students in English every day. Tuesdays and Fridays are school-wide English-speaking Days, while Thursdays are Putonghua-speaking Days. We strive to create a language-rich environment to nurture students. The Language Across the Curriculum (LAC) program advocates the collaboration between Junior Forms of the English Department and other subject departments in areas ranging from enhancing cross-curriculum design, to collaborative teaching and exploration of pedagogy. These measures constitute the coupling with learning in senior forms. The Education Bureau invited Sun Kei to participate in the “Professional Development Schools (PDS) Scheme” to share our Chinese and English teaching strategies and experiences with other schools. Furthermore, two Native-speaking English Teachers (NET) have been recruited to enhance the English aura of the school.

Learning and Teaching Strategies:
Teachers' professionalism is continually elevated through structured training, collaborative teaching and lesson observations as a Professional Learning Community. Evidence-based strategies are implemented to promote deep learning and to nurture self-motivated learners. The higher-order thinking ability and the academic virtues of students are enriched by means of the multi-dimensional curriculum that embraces STEAM Project Research. Besides, we intentionally provide them with a biliterate and trilingual environment, a wide variety of reading and academic programs, e-learning systems, BYOD strategies and tailor-made learning schemes for the elites.

School-based curriculum:
1. Electives: 2X and 3X. Our flexible senior secondary curriculum allows S4 students to choose three electives out of ten subjects. For Mathematics, Extended Module is provided. In addition, Applied Learning courses (mode 1) are offered in S5 and S6. Students are allocated to different electives according to their ability and interest in those subjects.
2. Curriculum highlights: Our school offers a balanced and broad junior form curriculum to cater for students' holistic development. Junior form students will study the “English Literature” subject to extend their English learning. For Chinese Language learning, our teachers employ the “ShareStart” strategies to boost the effectiveness of teaching and learning. Apart from the above subjects, school-based STEAM Project Learning is offered in junior forms, which is themed with STEAM elements. Artificial Intelligence is also covered in junior form Information and Communication Technology lessons in which students can apply their STEAM knowledge as well as their innovative ideas. Moreover, we widely adopt eLearning strategies in all subjects and aim at establishing a“21st century classroom” (SK Suite) model in our school.

Development of the Four Key Tasks:
1. Reading to Learn: A diverse multi-dimensional reading campaign, which includes Reading Journey Profile, Reading Venture, Reading Seminar, Chinese and English Book Fair, Lunchtime Book Talk, Reading Ridge, Reading Channel, Book Borrowing League, Library Lesson, is being actively promoted through a whole-school approach. What’s more, through the Subject-based Self-directed Reading Scheme, our school creates a rich reading culture through extensive reading.
2. Information Technology: Through a web-based teaching platform, digital teaching resources database, electronic self-learning system, interactive intranet information platform, wireless (WiFi) network, our school aims at cultivating students’ information literacy skills and developing a sustainable teaching and learning habitat.
3. Project Learning: Project Learning is incorporated into the S.1 and S.2 Curriculum. Under the guidance of teachers, students take the initiative to determine the research method and direction. Through data collection and analysis, as well as organisation of information, students master inquiry-based learning skills, and develop their mutual respect and team spirit.
4. Moral and Civic Education: Activities such as Life Education periods, class teacher periods, morning assemblies are coordinated and connected with several disciplines to promote Moral and Civic Education through permeated studies, and also cultivate students' civic qualities. Students can develop their sense of belonging as a national citizen, with positive values promoted.

Life Planning Education:
Under the whole-school approach, learning activities and guidance are provided to students in accordance with their developmental needs. The Life Planning Education and Career Guidance Team has designed various class-teacher period activities to help students gain a holistic understanding of their aptitudes, abilities, values and aspirations. Career sharing sessions, job-site visits, career-experience programmes, job-shadowing schemes, etc. are arranged every year to promote individual life planning, and to introduce students to diverse career paths.
