Whole-school Language Policy:
With the enforcement of the fine-tuning of Medium of Instruction Policy, our school allocates the lesson time allowed for extended learning activities in English to the teaching of Mathematics from S.1 to S.6. Different strategies such as promoting the Extensive Reading Scheme and remedial teaching are used to enhance effective English learning. S.4 to S.6 English split classes are set up to help both the academically stronger and weaker students. There are English after-school classes on weekdays and English Enhancement classes on Saturdays and summer holidays and various English activities like English Week and English Assembly throughout the school year. A native English teacher helps organize different English activities and speaking practices for students. An LAC curriculum has been developed for S.1 and S.2. Besides, collaboration projects between English and two other subjects (Maths and IS) are launched in junior forms.

Learning and Teaching Strategies:
To improve the quality of learning and teaching, our school has been making effort to design a wide-ranging curriculum to cater for the diverse abilities of students. Split class teaching is adopted in the three core subjects, namely, English, Chinese and Mathematics. There are also English and Mathematics special classes in junior forms and English and Mathematics enhancement classes in senior forms. Collaboration, peer observations and professional sharing are common among teachers. Other than the formal curriculum, our school also emphasizes the whole person development of students. Senior students are encouraged to participate in local & overseas study tours, which broaden students' horizons. Life and Society is one of the subjects in S.1 and S.2. Various modes of teaching are used to cater for learners' diversity.

School-based curriculum:
1. Electives: 2X. Eleven elective subjects in F.4 to F.6 are divided into 2 blocks and students select one subject from each block.
2. Curriculum highlights: School-based curriculum includes Project Learning in Junior forms, reading lessons in all forms and "Language Across Curriculum" in F.1 and F.2 to enhance learning interest and English standards.

Development of the Four Key Tasks:
1. Reading to Learn: To create reading culture, the "Reading Programme" has been introduced since 2002. In order to foster students a habit of reading different kinds of materials, inter-disciplinary cooperation is not missing. During morning reading, students are required to read books in English and materials on moral and civic education. To tie in the Three-Year Development Plan, certain areas are set for senior form students in the oral presentation in junior classes. The “Cross KLA Reading Programme” and the “E-Reading Programme” are implemented with the help of IT to help students share the joy of reading.
2. Information Technology for Interactive Learning: Students are encouraged to learn English via "English Builder" which is an online, self-access English learning platform. It enriches students' English vocabulary, enhances their social awareness and refines their listening, reading and writing skills. Google devices and Google Classroom are employed and set up respectively to facilitate online teaching and nurture students with self-learning ability.
3. Project Learning: Project Learning trains students' generic skills like collaboration skills, communication skills and creativity. It also develops in them a good learning attitude. In our school, at least one project learning activity is held for junior form students every year. Careful discussion is carried out to set the sub-title, direction and questionnaire. Analysis of the data collected is done before class presentation is given.
4. Moral & Civic Education: We foster student's positive values and attitudes through the learning and teaching of various key learning areas and the provision of relevant learning experiences. Besides, the Life Education Committee organizes various activities such as talks and group discussion in the assembly period to empower students to build a healthy, safe and positive life.

Life Planning Education:
Careers and Life Planning Committee has set different themes for different forms, namely “Understanding oneself and people around” in S.1 and S.2, “Preparing themselves for senior secondary studies” in S.3, "Goal-setting" in S.4, "Reflection on the directions of career planning" in S.5 and "Career decision-making skills" in S.6. In order to help senior form students explore their future, we co-organize a variety of activities and talks with NGOs and tertiary institutions to help students develop their skills in interviewing, problem tackling and career planning in the future.
