Whole-school Language Policy:
The school stresses uplifting students' English standard. We have introduced a Language-Across-Curriculum policy. We provide students with a variety of opportunities for using English. We have employed a number of NET teachers to enhance students' communication skills in English. Resources have been deployed to offer students extra English courses to cater their learning diversity. Small-group teaching is enforced. This year, there are eight groups in Secondary 1 and Secondary 5 to enhance teaching effectiveness. In addition, our school also offers a variety of English courses including IELTS, TOEIC, language arts, etc. to cater for students with different learning needs.
The school strives to enhance students’ bi-literate and trilingual abilities. We have also recruited language experts and consultants to help promote Putonghua as the core language in school. There are more than 30 enhancement classes on Chinese and English studies for students after school. To help build up an English cum Putonghua-base environment, the school authority will also use English or Putonghua to conduct morning assemblies to students at regular intervals. The school has also arranged to incorporate English vocabulary in some teaching subjects so as to motivate students to use more English in their daily communication. Outsourced professionals are recruited to teach short-term academic programs.

Learning and Teaching Strategies:
The school advocates a diverse and student-base teaching model, and encourages interaction among teachers and students. To address learning diversities, the school adopts a strategy by grouping the elite with less capable students so as to create a synergy and help narrowing the learning gap. It would also facilitate the school in nurturing the exemplary learners while maintaining an acceptable standard for those average students. Besides, we kick off the school-based Gifted Education Development, as well as the off-site support or collaboration with other tertiary institutes, so as to preserve the Talent Pool and widen the students' horizons. We infuse extensive reading into curriculum which enables us to foster a reading culture at school. The school flexibly applies information technology and theme-base learning model on teaching. To widen the horizons and exposure of our students, we actively liaise with local and overseas education institutes to organize distance learning programmes, exchange programmes and study tours to maximize their benefits.
The school emphasizes teacher development. Apart from sharing different teaching strategies in Staff Development days, we have collaborative preparation periods to promote collaboration between teachers. Teachers participate in lesson studies through which they design lesson plans and teaching resources collaboratively with their colleagues. Through various teacher development measures we keep on striving for improvement in learning and teaching.

School-based curriculum:
1. Electives: 2X and 3X. Students may choose to take 2-3 elective subjects which may fit their interests and capability.
2. Curriculum highlights: The school seeks to optimize school-base curriculum to fit students’ needs. Our initiatives include: modified programme on language arts for students; establishment of school-based database for various subjects; provision of school-based curriculum for Science and Life and Society etc. A task-oriented committee has been set up to source more learning practices, and to organize tailor-made programmes for students to widen and sustain their learning spectrum.
Science and Mathematics KLAs have joined the supportive service of "School-based curriculum development section" of EDB for enhancing our Science and Mathematics school-based curriculum. We are working to incorporate elements of STEAM education into our existing curricula under different KLAs. To cope with the development of STEAM education, we have deployed resources to set up the "INSEC" Centre to provide students with a favorable environment to explore different idea related to STEAM education. Through participating in STEAM related projects and competitions, we aim to uplift students' innovation and problem solving skills.
The school also has an Aquarium Exploration Centre to cultivate students' scientific spirit of inquiry and to learn to appreciate the beauty of nature and life.

Development of the Four Key Tasks:
1. Reading to Learn: The school library has been expanded to accommodate more modernized facilities such as visual resources centre. We have also launched a Reading Ambassador Scheme to promote reading habit and share reading experiences by specialists and consultants. 2. Utilization of IT in interactive learning: The school actively participates in distance learning and exchange programmes with other education institutes. We aim to shift the regular teaching programmes from classroom to the outreaching platforms to promote self-learning practice, and to let our students know that distance learning is one of the core elements in the New Senior Secondary Academic Structure. 3. Project learning: The school organizes focus groups to promote the good practice of “learning through groups”. The focus groups seek to integrate students’ brain potential with question-base learning module in an attempt to (i) steer students towards effective learning and (ii) train up their mindset and thinking. 4. Ethical and Civic Education: The school attaches great importance to students’ ethical and civil education which have been embedded in the school curriculum.

Life Planning Education:
Life planning education in our school provides a wide range of opportunities to help our students build up their self-confidence and develop their potentials in order to pursue their life goals. We and the Hong Kong Shing Kung Hui Welfare Council Limited co-organised the Welfare Council’s Career Counselling Project in which we invited talents from different professions to share with our students the current trend, prospects and the requirement of entering the corresponding careers. Our school also participated in the “Project WeCan” initiated by the Wharf Holdings. Moreover, accountants and bankers of the DBS Bank held the workshop, “Knowing me ‧ knowing you”. Taking this opportunity, students acquired the recruitment criteria and the authentic working scenario of the banking industry. Fostering a wider choices on tertiary education to students, we also carried out various study tours to Taiwan to allow students exploring campus life of different Taiwan universities.
