Whole-school Language Policy:
Students always come first when we formulate our language policy. We aim at helping our students master Chinese, English and Putonghua. While Chinese remains our medium of instruction, English learning tops our priority list too. As mother tongue education facilitates the learning of subject knowledge, besides English Language, all other subjects are taught in Chinese. Also, the school wisely deploys its resources to work out an all-round and sustainable plan to create a language rich environment to enhance students' interest and initiative in English language.

Learning and Teaching Strategies:
We design our curriculum based on the Curriculum Guide issued by the Education Bureau, taking into account the background situation of the school. In junior forms, the emphasis is placed on language building so as to facilitate studies in senior forms. Our S.1-S.3 students can enhance their competence in English, Chinese and Mathematics through our School-based Remedial Support Programme, which helps tackle their difficulties in studies. Moreover, we have adopted a small class size, streaming policy to cater for students' learning diversity.

School-based curriculum:
1. Electives: 2X. The school offers 11 electives and 20 APL (Applied Learning) courses.
2. Curriculum highlights: We closely work with the Quality School Improvement Project of CUHK in areas of Chinese, English, Mathematics, Biology, Economics, and Liberal Studies to further improve school curriculum and teaching resources so as to enhance teaching and learning effectiveness.

Development of the Four Key Tasks:
Thanks to "Project WeCan" sponsored by the Wharf Group, we now have a CSA Home. It gives students the feeling and warmth of a second home, which helps foster self-discipline, communication skills and a sense of belonging. Apart from putting weekly “Reading Scheme”, “Afternoon Reading” and “Sharing of Reading in Classroom” into the school curriculum in order to build up our students’ reading habit, extra efforts have been put to create more space for reading, to help students take the initiative to read and to enjoy the fun of reading. Our school supports Information Technology for Interactive Learning and Collaborative learning, to promote knowledge sharing and building. They are encouraged to learn proactively on their own. Besides, project learning activities are arranged for S.1 to S.3 students. Students are divided into groups, and hand in reports as well as do presentation in class. Our school tries to nurture our students the four core values: Diligence, Trustworthiness, Compassion and Fairness as stated in our school motto, seven values and attitudes and 24 positive character strengths to strengthen moral education, and to cultivate honest and responsible citizens. In recent years, our school has made an effort to strengthen the sense of national identity among our students through involving them in different learning experiences. Moreover, the school encourages our students to participate in community services so as to develop a sense of belonging to our community.

Life Planning Education:
Using the concept of “life planning” as the basis for careers and counselling projects, our school emphasizes the idea of learning through experience. With small counselling group and interactive activities, we let students go through 3 stages (self understanding and development, career exploration, and career planning and management) to understand their own needs and build up their preliminary life goals. In light of the unique situations and growth needs of junior and senior secondary students, the school starts helping students shape their lives in a systematic way when they are in junior forms. Careers talks, trial lessons of S.4 electives, visits to workplace, workshops, overseas study tours, and a 3-week workplace experience have been provided to students together with the needed information so as to let students know more career paths and enhance their confidence and competitive edge. Students can therefore foster a sense of responsibility towards themselves as well as the society and also the right attitude. With a broadened horizons, they can equip themselves with the integrity and ability that suit the society and then pursue their dreams in a planned and more practical way.
