Learning and Teaching Plan
Whole-school Language Policy:
Learning English is a key policy of the School. Different programmes are adopted to promote the use of English. MOI has been fine-tuned in junior forms and Extended Learning Activities in English are adopted in several subjects. Language activities include English Speaking Friday, English Ambassadors, English Day and English Day Camp.
Learning and Teaching Strategies:
Our teachers are committed and conscientious. They teach with skill and patience, and various teaching strategies are adopted to cater for individual differences. They are devoted to improving every student's learning performance. In recent years, our students have made good progress in their studies and as indicated in the public examinations, our academic standards have been raised. We endeavour to enhance the effectiveness of formal and informal curriculums. Collaborative lesson planning is held in junior English, Mathematics and Chinese panels as well as the panel of Liberal Studies. Life-wide learning is promoted through various ways to enrich students' learning experiences. We also have Morning Reading Sessions, 'Read to Learn' Reading Award Scheme, Chinese/English Extensive Reading Schemes, Chinese/English On-line Reading Schemes, Good Book Sharing, Authors' Talk, Reading Club, Student Reading Ambassadors and Chinese Writing & Enhancement Course.
School-based curriculum:
1. Electives: 2X and 3X. A senior form student can choose two to three electives according to his/her academic ability.
2. Curriculum highlights: - Develop multi-intelligence, promote cooperative learning, cater for diverse learning needs, develop generic skills, etc.
3. “Aspiration & Interest Extended Module” is a school-based curriculum for our F.4 and F.5 students. It provides many different units for students to choose. They include “APL(Mode 2) Patisserie & Café Operations”, “Dare to Think Career Programme”, “Chinese Cultural Taster Unit”, “English-Viewing Fun Fair”, “STEM A.I. Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Operation and Basic Programming”, “360-degree Camera Operation & Virtual Tour Production”, “Dessert Cooking Course”, “Food Cooking Course”, “Fitness training Introductory Class” and “Special Effect Makeup Introductory Course”. Tasting these courses would arouse students’ aspirations. If students know more about their potentials, they would have better future plans.
Development of the Four Key Tasks:
1. Reading to learn: 20 minutes reading period every morning. There is book crossing from F.1 to F.3 and there is thematic reading from F.4 to F.5. To enhance students' interests in English, junior forms students have leisure reading and senior forms students need to read thematic articles.
2. Providing students more chances of using English through different programmes, such as mini-drama, phonics class and production of English programme by Campus TV.
3. Project learning: Project learning is already a part of the formal curriculum of the Junior Form Integrated Science.
4. Our school has been putting every effort into the application of information and communication technology, enthusiastically promoting the use of different web-based learning platforms so that our teachers can adopt appropriate teaching pedagogy, and introduce self-study and interactive learning skills to our students. In the school year 2020-2021, our school was successfully granted funding from the “IT Innovation Lab in Schools” project, which is a solid support for us to further extend the students’ innovation and creativity through STEAM. Our school is extensively providing program coding lessons to the junior form students, from F1 to F3, aiming to stimulate their creativity, sharpen their problem-solving skills, and enhance their competitiveness in the future.
5. For moral and civic education, our school puts great emphasis on seven core values of JCCSSKC. They are Judgement, Commitment, Care, Sincerity, Self-reliance, Knowledge and Contribution respectively.

Based on the needs of students, adjustment would be arranged on their learning, homework and examination. Our school educational psychologist helps students to do professional assessment, referral and follow-up. In collaboration with other professional parties, she designs individual education plan for students in need. Parent and school co-operation is vital. Form teachers would consistently work with parents to implement appropriate measures to support students to grow up properly.

Others
Nowadays, not only do parents have to experience a painstaking process to bring up their children but also have to withstand the stresses and strains of life. Our teachers (as many of us are also parents) always put our feet into the parents’ shoes, and therefore we keep a constant practice of making frequent contact with students’ parents so as to get a better understanding of the children’s life at home whereas our teachers are then able to let our students’ parents understand their children performance at school. We believe that communication with parents is essential for a student's personal growth and development. As for students from families with financial problems, we will reduce or waive certain school charges. Furthermore, the School-based After-school Learning and Support Programme and the Jockey Club Life-wide Learning Fund can support the disadvantaged students to join after-school tuition classes and life-wide learning activities respectively. Every year our School Managers and alumni generously donate more than 200,000 dollars in form of scholarships to those students with great academic improvement, excellent academic achievement, as well as outstanding performance in sports/aesthetics.
