Whole-school Language Policy:
1. The school adopts Chinese as the medium of instruction to facilitate students’ learning. In a bid to foster a solid foundation of English among students for their future studies, we implement small-class teaching in junior and senior forms. We also organize a variety of English activities including English morning assembly, debating, drama, live performance, booth games and quiz competitions. There are also after-school enhancement and remedial programmes to consolidate students’ English ability.
2. With the implementation of the fine-tuning of Medium of Instruction, our school makes use of a proportion of lesson time to extend the teaching of English in different subjects in junior forms. Some specific units and themes are taught in English. We also have cross-curricular English enhancement programmes for students to improve their English for future studies in senior form subjects.
3. To further enrich the learning environment, we set up the International Cultural Centre, which allows students to learn English in authentic scenes. With more conversions conducted in English, students will have ample opportunities to practise the language and achieve the best learning results.

Learning and Teaching Strategies:
1. To enhance student-oriented teaching and cater for learner diversity, small-class teaching is adopted in Chinese, English and Mathematics classes according to the specific needs of students. We also create school-based materials, implement STEM education and organize cross-curricular learning activities to improve learning and teaching. After-school enhancement and remedial classes as well as extended learning programmes are organized for students.
2. In addition to tests and examinations, the school also adopts a variety of methods for student assessment, including class participation, group discussions, presentations and experiments, with the aim of using assessment as a learning tool.
3. The school aims to foster positive learning attitudes among students by adopting self-directed learning, lesson preparation and e-learning.
4. The school encourages cross-curricular reading. With our reading reward scheme, students can learn extensively from reading and broaden their knowledge base.
5. The school provides rich learning experiences for students, which helps them to develop generic skills and leadership skills. The school also encourages students to explore different cultures so as to broaden their horizons and improve their communication skills. Furthermore, each student has the opportunity to participate in overseas learning activities including study tours, cultural experience tours and overseas exchange programmes. Scholarships and funds are provided for students in these programmes.

School-based curriculum:
1. Electives: 2X and 3X. Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Economics, Business, Accounting and Financial Studies, Geography, Chinese History, Information and Communication Technology, Ethics and Religious Studies, Mathematics Extended Part Module 1, and Applied Learning.
2. Curriculum highlights:
a) The school provides a wide range of school-based courses. The course design successfully combines subject knowledge with life knowledge so students can learn authentically.
b) The school adopts the student-oriented approach in teaching, makes adjustments to the curriculum and makes good use of community resources to enhance students’ motivation in learning so they can become self-directed and lifelong learners.
c) The school develops a comprehensive and diversified curriculum. It provides opportunities for students to learn outside the classroom. In addition to traditional subjects, it also offers personal growth class and multi-talent class. The personal growth class combines the spirit of Buddhist education and the values of morality. We aim to cultivate a balanced development of students' body, mind, and spirit. The multi-talent class allows senior students to experience technical skills in different professions, which not only allows them to develop their interests, but also enhances their personal competitiveness.
d) STEM education is promoted in junior forms by adopting the cross-curricular approach. With the assistance of industry and tertiary institutions, STEM education is successfully implemented in our school. Through computer programming, design and the production of smart products, students can develop their creativity and improve their problem-solving skills. The school also promotes artificial intelligence in Form 3 to keep up with the latest trends of technological development.

Development of the Four Key Tasks:
We actively promote the current curriculum reform in the four key areas. We promote moral and civic education through morning or weekly assemblies and non-formal curricula. We also cover the relevant elements inside the classrooms to deepen the value of education. In promoting 'reading to learn', we have set up morning reading sessions. With the implementation of BYOD (Bring Your Own Device), teaching and learning become more interactive at school. The information technology facilities in our school are well-developed, with abundant online learning resources covering all subjects. The teachers are well-versed in IT to assist interactive learning. Project learning is one of our key development areas. Every year we organize an “Experiential Learning Week”. Through site visits, on-site interviews and questionnaires, we teach students how to integrate knowledge, skills, values and attitudes within a structured learning framework.

Life Planning Education:
We put huge emphasis on life-planning education. The two main aspects include guidance on further studies and career choices. We have cooperated with a number of external organizations and introduced a series of academic and non-academic courses with professional recognition, including but not limited to Cambridge English Courses (PET / KET), TOEIC, IELTS, Image Design and Wedding Planner Certificate Course, etc.
