Orientation Activities and Healthy Living
To get students acclimatize to secondary life as well as making friends as their newly beloved, experiential activities were organized during the summer holidays. We were able to hold some exciting and wonderful special learning activities for our students ranging from Fun Science Experiment, Planet Lamp Arts Workshop and the DHW School Tour.
As STREAM education is one of the major concerns of our school, students were invited to take part in Fun Science Experiment which aimed at nurturing their problem-solving skills. Several activities were held by our Science teachers which gave the students a chance to learn through fun experiments and to interact with both students and teachers.

Learning and Teaching Plan
Whole-school Language Policy:
We offer both English and Chinese as the medium of instructions. Students will be allocated to study in the respective medium with reference to their previous academic background, personal preference and language competency. For some classes, students from Mainland China and students from ethnic groups will be mixed together in a class, in order to enhance interaction between the two. For Chinese students whose English proficiency is outstanding, they will be offered a choice to use English as the medium of instruction for some subjects while the same for the ethnic minority groups. In addition, given the background of diverse ethnic groups, English, Putonghua and Cantonese have become the languages of communication in students’ daily school life.
Learning and Teaching Strategies:
Our school curriculum aims at equipping students with essential life-long learning experiences for whole person quality development in the areas of ethics, intellect, physical development, social skills and aesthetics, so as to prepare students to become 'active, responsible, and contributing members of society, the nation and the world'. Helping students to 'learn how to learn' by cultivating positive values, attitudes, and a commitment to life-long learning as well as developing generic skills to acquire and construct knowledge constitutes a major part in the curriculum.
School-based curriculum:
1. Electives: 3X. School-based curriculum in different subjects is available with reference to students’ needs and capabilities, including English, Computer & Technology, Integrated Humanities, Arts and Chinese History for Non-Chinese speaking students.
2. Curriculum highlights: Our school curriculum is designed help students to learn how to learn through cultivating positive values, attitudes, and a commitment to life-long learning to develop generic skills to acquire and construct knowledge, which is essential for the whole-person development to cope with challenges of the 21st century.
A quality curriculum for the 21st century should therefore set the directions for teaching and learning through a coherent and flexible framework which is adaptable to changes and different needs of students and school.
Development of the Four Key Tasks:
Self-study skills, attitudes and habits are the essence. They are developed through various measures including ‘Reading to Learn’, ‘Project Learning’, ‘Learning through Information Technology’ and ‘Moral and Civic Education’. Special emphasis has been placed on ‘reading to learn’ and ‘enquiry learning’ through current news reading and project learning.
Life Planning Education:
Our life planning education initiates from realization, commitment and setting objectives. After taking actions, targets and strategies will be fine-tuned, evaluated and feedback will be given. Our strategies include the following:
1. Offer a student-oriented, self-access learning package which assists students to learn how to establish their goals and plan their future.
2. Guide students to understand themselves thoroughly through personality quizzes, career seminars, workplace visits, and most importantly, writing personal statements in their student learning profile.
3. Provide information concerning overseas studies (Mainland China and Taiwan for instance), through peer support, graduates sharing and overseas field trips.
4. Expand multiple pathways of local and overseas studies and encourage all S.6 students to have multiple study/work pathways after graduation.
