Whole-school Language Policy:
Our school aims to enable our students to become biliterate and trilingual. Small class teaching is adopted in English Language, Chinese Language and Putonghua lessons at different levels, it caters for different learning diversity. Besides, English-medium extended learning activities are included in some subject, this provides students the chances to learn English. The school also offers a wide variety of activities for students to participate in, including Chinese Language Week, English Festival, Writing Class, Speech Festival and Campus TV. It offers an authentic environment to foster students’ language ability. Students are encouraged to join different competitions outside school like storytelling competition, book report competition and writing competition. Students who take professional exams develop their language ability and make better preparation for their future careers and studies.

Learning and Teaching Strategies:
Our teachers adopt student-centred teaching strategies, which stress the importance of peer learning and interaction between teachers and students. The aim is to enhance students’ creativity and communication and collaborative skills. The design of learning tasks focuses on students’ development of multiple intelligence, critical thinking skills and self-expression. Study tours, field trips and other kinds of outings are regularly organized to allow students to develop life skills and apply these skills in their everyday life.

School-based curriculum:
1. Electives: 2X and 3X. To cater for students’ abilities and interests, students can choose from a wide range of subject combinations, including arts, science and business subjects; students can also choose Applied Learning and Other Languages as their second or third elective.
2. Curriculum highlights: School-based curriculum tailoring has been adopted in our core subjects, including Chinese Language, English Language and Mathematics. The tailor-made curriculum suits our students’ learning; it enhances the learning efficiency. We have Integrated Technology, which combines Computer Literacy with Design & Technology. This school-based subject aims at introducing students to the latest advancements in technology and helping them develop creative thinking skills by engaging them in interesting and practical tasks, e.g. artificial intelligence (AI), laser printing, 3D printing and apps programming. In addition, cross-curricular curriculum has been implemented at junior secondary levels, it entails the learning of mathematics, science, visual arts and technology. With concerted effort of the teachers concerned, several STEM packages have been developed to help students consolidate subject knowledge, enhance learning motivation and develop potentials for their future pursuits.

Development of the Four Key Tasks:
For many years, our school has been promoting reading by organizing various activities such as “Happy Reading Scheme”, subject-based reading weeks, thematic book exhibitions and “Meet the Author” Talk, which lead to good reading habits among students. In Life Education sessions and on Other Learning Experience (OLE) Days, students are assigned to take part in activities, assemblies, outings as well as cultural tours to enhance their understanding of the country and raise their awareness about ethics and citizenship. To facilitate the use of iPads in e-learning activities in lessons, all our classrooms have been installed with broadband routers. E-learning is an essential component in the four core subjects. To promote e-learning and self-directed learning, our school has adopted the Google teaching platform. Students can borrow iPads and other electronic devices from the Self-access Learning Centre to do self-study, projects, presentations and group discussions at their own time and pace. To widen the horizons of our students in STEAM area, we encourage students to participate in different local and international competitions. In 2019, our school was presented Rantra Fusca Creativity Award by Odyssey of the Mind. Our students thus had a chance to represent Hong Kong going to the United States to join the world final. Some F.5 students participated in the HKIE-PPC Engineering Exploration Programme 2021 and won the first runner up.
