Learning and Teaching Plan
Whole-school Language Policy:
As an EMI school, all school subjects are taught in English, except Chinese Language and Chinese History, which are taught in Putonghua and Cantonese. French, as a substitute for Chinese, is intended for our non-Chinese speaking students. Our DSS status has allowed us to recruit qualified and dedicated teachers from all over Hong Kong and the international community, e.g., Australia, China, France, India, the UK and Canada and other countries. We have maintained a ratio where 15% of our teaching staff have been recruited outside of Hong Kong. As part of our effort to build a multi-cultural, multi-lingual environment, we have also a number of students from Hong Kong's non-Chinese community. This helps to expose our students to a wide range of opinions, traditions and cultural practices.
Learning and Teaching Strategies:
As a DSS school receiving Government subsidies, the school is able to set its own curriculum in Junior Forms, though is obligated to follow the examination system mandated by the Education Bureau. The College aims to offer an academic programme that:
1. Caters for students' diversity in the learning of English, Chinese and Mathematics;
2. Allows for flexibility in classroom organisation, curriculum and instruction to meet the different needs of students;
3. Provides a learning environment that promotes student learning and brings to students a sense of achievement;
4. Provides subject options for students to choose at senior secondary levels. - To promote a reading culture at school and to nurture students' reading interest and habit, a common reading time of 20 minutes known as "DEAR" (Drop Everything and Read) time is allocated during the morning of every Tuesday.
School-based curriculum:
1. Electives: 2X, 3X and 4X. Students in S.4 - S.6 are required to study four core subjects and two/three elective subjects. Additionally, they can choose to study Music, Physical Education, French and Mathematics Extended Part.
2. Curriculum highlights: To help extend students' talents, they are encouraged to join a diverse range of enrichment programmes covering English, Chinese, Mathematics, Science and so on. Similarly, for those students who may need more individual attention, the College offers after-school tutorial help from teachers in the key areas of English, Mathematics, Chinese, Integrated Humanities and Integrated Science.
Development of the Four Key Tasks:
- To promoting Enquiry Learning.
- To enhance students' learning skills.
- To further develop students' critical thinking, problem-solving skills and creativity.
- To further enrich students' learning experience beyond formal curriculum.
- To promote the well-being of students and enable them to flourish through positive education.
- To enable students to identify their strengths and develop Growth Mindset and positive attitude for their learning and personal growth.

Student Support
Whole School Approach to Catering for Learner Diversity:
In the Junior Forms, different curriculum sets are designed to cater for the diverse needs of students in learning English, Chinese and Mathematics. A smaller class size in learning support groups may be adopted for those lower achievers, which aims to better cater for specific needs. There are variations in the curriculum content and teaching strategies of the different curriculum sets to accommodate different abilities, skills, learning paces and styles of students.
Whole School Approach to Integrated Education:
A team focusing on catering for both Chinese and non-Chinese students with special educational needs is set up in the College, which arranges the adjustment in teaching and assessment, some counseling and social training workshops.
Educational Support for Non-Chinese Speaking Students:

Measures to provide adaptation for Learning and Assessment:

Continuous assessment includes some of the following areas: homework; class work or laboratory activities; effort, attitude and participation; class tests and quizzes; oral competence (speaking), reading comprehension, listening comprehension, written compositions and project work. The First Term Examination and the Final Examination will take place in January and June for S.1-S.5. There is only one examination for S.6.

Home-School Co-operation and School Ethos
Home-School Co-operation:
Our College's PTA was set up in 2001, which acts as a communication channel between the College and parents. Other than meeting with school representatives regularly, the PTA will organize different kinds of activities, such as tea gatherings and seminars for our parents. Parents can also make use of the Parents' Day, Parents' Information Night and other school activities to know more about our College and teachers, as well as discuss about their children's learning.
School Ethos:
We believe that education should be based on care. The implementation of a differentiated curriculum within the junior forms is an example of the care we provide. We also practice a dual class teacher system. Being the closest in contact with our students, class teachers are expected to provide the first level of pastoral care to individual students and to liaise with their parents. The College has a strong and well developed Guidance and Counseling Team, which design programmes to address issues, such as personal growth, during Class Teacher Periods. In addition, the College employs an experienced School Counselor, together with two school social workers, to provide assistance to those individuals in need.

Future Development
School Development Plan:
This year, the College will follow the two major whole school concerns enshrined in our 3-year school development plan. The first major concern aims at further enhancing students' learning capacity for lifelong learning. It includes promoting Enquiry Learning, enhancing students' learning skills, further developing students' critical thinking, problem-solving skills and creativity, and further enriching students' learning experience beyond formal curriculum.
The second major concern focuses upon promoting the well-being of students and enabling them to flourish through positive education. This involves not only strengthening students' physical, mental and social well-being, but also enabling students to identify their strengths and develop Growth Mindset and positive attitude for their learning and personal growth.
Teacher Professional Training and Development:

We are also happy to provide ample opportunities for students to be involved in the organisation of many major school activities, such as our own Campus TV Station, festive celebrations and all kinds of school-based competitions. Students who show further interest in sports are able to represent the College in a range of team sports. Opportunities are provided for students from S.1 to S.6 to join community service programmes. Students are not simply learning how to show their care for those in need, they are also acquiring new skills and knowledge by reaching out to different sectors of society, taking up new responsibilities and working with different organisations. To strengthen the all-rounded education for the total development of our students and to develop our students’ self-esteem, the College’s have launched the “Experiential Learning in Expeditions (ELITE) Programme” in the year of 2010-11. Each junior Form student is recommended to join at least ONE of the overseas study tours to either Xian, Quanzhou/ Hakka and Singapore/ Malaysia. These tours will provide opportunities where students can practice their Putonghua and English in native speaking environments. Also, these will provide meaningful context to the class-based curricula of different subjects. We hope that this programme will strengthen students’ ability to be independent and to enhance their self-confidence and resilience.
