Whole-school Language Policy:
Although the mother tongue has been adopted as the medium of instruction in our School, increasing emphasis is placed on boosting students' competence in English Language and their confidence in mastering the language through careful cultivation of a conducive English-learning school environment. Our School incorporated Extended Learning Activities (ELA) in English into the junior form curriculum in subjects including Maths, Life and Society, Computer Literacy, Integrated Science, Business Fundamentals, Geography, History, Physics, Chemistry and Biology. A "combination of strategies" will be adopted to promote ELA in English, including (a) allocation of some lesson time of the above mentioned subjects to using EMI to go through subject concepts and contents already taught in CMI; (b) using EMI to teach individual modules or themes and (c) using EMI with regard to the nature of the learning materials. In addition, to extend and benefit students' English Language acquisition through the curriculum, pedagogy and assessment, students will be required to use the language in parts of the assessments, tests and examinations for the above mentioned subjects.

Learning and Teaching Strategies:
Departmental meetings are held regularly by the Academic Committee & various subject panels to review pedagogical effectiveness & further implement the school's policy of Teaching and Learning. Moreover, teachers gather regular feedback from the students on the effectiveness of Teaching and Learning in their classrooms to improve pedagogical strategies to enhance students' learning. The students are also encouraged to use the Library & Computer-Learning Centre for self-access and independent learning. In addition, part of the junior & senior form classes are divided into smaller tutorial groups to facilitate co-teaching & cooperative learning strategies for effective Higher-Order learning. Curriculum review is regularly undertaken in our school to prevent duplication & repetition of programmes & content.

School-based curriculum:
1. Electives: 2X. Students choose 2 elective subjects in accordance with their interest and aspirations.
2. Curriculum highlights: Our school has adopted a learner-centred approach in designing the curriculum, with the aim of developing and strengthening students’ analytical and problem-solving skills and facilitating the application of these skills across different disciplines. Additionally, we provide small-class teaching and opportunities for extended learning beyond the classroom in order to help students master different learning skills, increase their classroom participation and promote learning effectiveness.

Development of the Four Key Tasks:
Apart from the daily 20-minute morning Reading Period, we hope to nurture students to be proactive independent readers through the Reading Club, lectures & writers' sharing and New Books Recommendation competitions. Ultimately, we hope to increase students' quantity as well as quality in reading. In addition, the school has spent over $1,000,000 to modernize the School library and purchase a variety of new books to suit different students' interests. Liberal Studies is introduced at S.1 to S.3. Methods of inquiry & project-based learning allow students to explore their areas of interest, instill independent learning & develop interpersonal skills through team-collaboration. The school monitors closely students' learning needs in tandem with societal changes so as to better prepare our students for further education & vocational training.

Life Planning Education:
Life planning activities and courses are offered to both junior and senior students.
