Whole-school Language Policy:
Our school emphasizes bi-literacy and tri-lingualism. We have some F.1 to F.3 students to learn their major subjects in English. In order to further develop the English learning environment, we have extra manpower in native English teachers not only to co-teach with our local teachers but also facilitate our campus-wide English activities. The English Department also implements a range of language activities for students to extend their exposure to English and to experience English-speaking culture. Apart from our Lutheran-specialised "International Interface" programme, we are also having cross-cultural exchange programmes to Australia these years so that students can learn English authentically. To further develop student language ability, we also have classes in F.1 and 2 learning Chinese Language with Putonghua as the medium of instruction.

Learning and Teaching Strategies:
A number of F.1 to F.3 students learn major subjects in English. In senior secondary, small class teaching in core subjects is implemented while some elective subjects are taught in English. Self-directed Learning and eLearning are being adopted in different subjects in order to enhance the effectiveness of both teaching and learning. Based on our students’ uniqueness, a wide variety of teaching strategies are incorporated into our school-based core curriculum. Apart from extra-curricular activities, co-curricular activities are also arranged to perfect students' English learning by widening their daily exposure to English. To better students' learning and align the junior curriculum to the senior one, integration of some content elements has also been implemented. To develop students' information technology skills, we have a refined junior Computer Literacy curriculum. With the implementation of collaborative lesson planning and the peer observation scheme, we have made great strides in teaching and learning efficiency.

School-based curriculum:
1. Electives: 2X. In senior secondary, students take 2 or 3 elective subjects.
2. Curriculum highlights: Based on the features of each subject in the junior forms, we make adaptation to the curriculum, skills required, assignments and assessment which articulates with the senior form curriculum. For example, we focus on project learning skills development through PSHE subjects. We adopt a cross-curricular approach in Science Education and Technology Education so as to enhance efficiency in teaching and learning. In addition, students are encouraged to participate in a variety of internal and external activities and competitions to develop their potential.

Development of the Four Key Tasks:
In order to develop a reading atmosphere, on top of the reading scheme in Chinese and English Language subjects, we have implemented “Reading Award Scheme” and “eRead Scheme”. Morning Reading Session is held weekly. Different teachers and students are invited to recommend fiction and non-fiction works in School Morning Assemblies. Theme-based Reading activities, reading workshops and book exhibitions are also organized, aiming at building a strong reading habit. With regard to project learning, we have a well-planned staged scheme to equip students with different skills through field trips. Acquiring these skills is a stepping stone for life-long learning. Meanwhile, Moral Education and Civil Education are developed by cross-curricular and cross-department collaboration. Through Life Education and other related activities, students share positive values and develop an enthusiastic attitude. Ultimately, they also learn to be good citizens. Being a citizen with global vision, we organize cultural exchange programmes every year to broaden their horizons. Furthermore, in order to encourage interactive learning through Information Technology, student’s eLearning is better facilitated with the installation of E-boards and full coverage of wifi and the implementation of the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policy. Teachers also provide “Flipped Classroom” (lesson preview) videos to facilitate learning outside the classroom to further enhance learning effectiveness.

Life Planning Education:
The school has adopted a whole school approach to develop life planning education. A variety of activities at different levels are organized to allow students to explore themselves and understand different career paths. Life planning lessons are held in F.1 to F.5 levels while life education lessons are organised to help students establish appropriate goals in life. Besides, students gain working experience through participating in different schemes and workshops. We also launch a Counseling Day for F.3 to F.6 students to provide individual consultation about their studies and life planning. Moreover, different talks for parents are held to provide further information of elective subjects in senior curriculum and different career paths, so that they can provide better support for their children.
