The implementation of Chinese as a medium of instruction (MOI) in junior forms takes place in accordance with the fine-tuned MOI policy. Depending on their English proficiency and the benefit, students are assigned to different range of English conducted lessons in different subjects. In order to foster the learning effectiveness, split class teaching is implemented in the English subject to cater for the individual need. Additionally, lunchtime activities, cross-curricular programmes, and an overseas study trip are aimed at enhancing the students’ interest in language learning and proficiency.
Learning and Teaching Strategies:
Our school emphasizes writing two languages and speaking three languages. Curricula are designed to develop students' multiple intelligences. To facilitate students in learning English, small groups are conducted. Students have to attend tutorial or study review class after school everyday. To facilitate the period, each classroom has its own class library shelf, in which it offers a variety of more than one hundred Chinese and English books to broaden their reading horizons. Our Resources Centre (library) has taken diversified measures to develop students' reading interests include reading skills workshops and setting up of various reading award schemes. To inspire our students' interests in reading, famous writers are invited to share with our students. Our students are greatly benefited and excited in meeting the writers and having their autographs.

It is the wish that each student in our school is able to demonstrate the following qualities as a Chinese citizen: perseverance, respect others, sense of responsibility, able to shoulder responsibility, able to recognize his/her Chinese identity Starting with the family, the school, society and the country as the ultimate target, we hope that this hierarchical order can reinforce the students’ civic awareness and help to grasp the concept of ownership of the country. Awards and commendations will be given to the distinctive students.
Life Planning Education:
Our school is the resource school of the project "CLAP@JC". We adopt three major principles-exploration, experience and practice. We start the programme from the junior forms where students build up the knowledge of self-understanding and exploring their life goals. In S.3 and S.4, they get involved in a series of experiential workplace activities. At senior level, equipped with the career planning knowledge they have gained, students choose their favourite and appropriate directions of higher education and vocational training as a way to realize their life goal. In addition to this, it is also our goal to help students acquire an entrepreneurial mindset prior to entering the workforce.
In a bid to successfully carry out the whole-school career and life planning education, we conduct a series of activities to enable students to understand their abilities, interests, values and other aspects: 1. Career-related activities and student’s internship opportunities; 2. Community and workplace activities;
