Learning and Teaching Plan
Whole-school Language Policy:
The medium of instruction of the College is English. S.1 - S.3 Chinese lessons are Putonghua-based, while senior form Chinese lessons are conducted in Cantonese.
Learning and Teaching Strategies:
In the pursuit of promoting the learning-to-learn ethos, our curriculum delivers more than just textbook knowledge for the students at HKUGA College. We foster a global cultural awareness through inquiry-based and problem-based learning strategies. Cooperative learning is another key feature of the curriculum, alongside the student-centered approach to teaching and learning.
In recent years the school has been promoting “Individualized Learning”. We tailor-make a variety of learning programs, alongside our mainstream curriculum, for students to choose and experience. These programs are catering different personalities, interests, learning styles and levels among students. For instance, we have CASTLE Program (Creative Arts, Sports, Technology, and Life Education) for the S.1 and S.2 students; Module Studies for S3 students to taste the elective subjects in Senior Form, and the niche programs for the S.4 and S.5 students under the NSS optimization framework. These students would be exposed to different kinds of education which are beyond the ordinary curriculum offered in Hong Kong.
School-based curriculum:
1. Electives: 3X.
2. Curriculum highlights: The junior form curriculum is in line with the abovementioned objectives. Whilst the senior form curriculum is implemented within the HKDSE framework, it still underpins the very philosophy of the College on developing independent learners. Apart from in-class learning activities, all junior form students are requested to go on learning tours to cultivate a sense of national belonging and to have a better understanding of the world. Destinations are as follows:
S.1 - Hong Kong & Macau;
S.2 - Mainland China;
S.3 - Asia.
S.4 students are requested to join a service trip to learn to serve the less privileged.
S.5 students embark on a journey of self-discovery, goal setting, pursuing academic and career aspirations through the “North Star Programme”. They will meet the mentors whose backgrounds span a vast range of expertise in our society.

Reading to learn; information technology for interactive learning; project learning; moral and civic education.

A variety of teaching strategies - ranging from the curriculum design, classroom setting, teaching and learning activities to cooperative learning - strive to cater for learners' differences.

The school has established the Inclusive and Gifted Education Committee (IGE) since 2012, consists of SEN coordinator, teachers of various knowledge and experience, social worker, speech therapist and educational psychologist.
The team focus from early identification, quality teaching in the regular classroom, support in all aspects of schooling, to individualise intervention following EDB 3-Tier Support Model. With the advantage of our through-train system and close communication between primary section, students and parents, better support and preparation can arrange during summer and before secondary school begins.
Within the time in HKUGAC, information and strategies are shared with confidentiality to related teachers and administrative departments for better support in daily learning. Specific developmental (e.g. social skills, read and write techniques, and executive function...) and career life planning related programs are arranged with invitation to target groups of students based on their needs. On the academic side, special examination arrangements and relevant training (e.g. use of screen readers) are also available during assessment and examination period.
