Development of the Four Key Tasks:
1. Learning through reading: Our school adopts a whole-school approach to promote reading. Apart from having reading schemes with awards, we also organize reading sharing talks and seminars. Our reading policy includes (a) New Asia reading festival (b) the collaboration between the library and different subjects to promote extensive reading (c) lunch time reading sessions (d) the setting up of a reading corner in every class.
2. Project learning: For S.1, students' ability to learn through projects is nurtured through Humanities. For S.2, students are divided into small groups to finish a project through field trips, experiments, interviews and so on under supervision of Humanities, Integrated Science teachers. For S.3, Personal, Social & Humanities Education requires each student to complete a research proposal in order to their independence.
3. Interactive learning through information and technology: There are eclassrooms for every subject in our e-learning platform. Mathematics, Basic Accounting, Humanities and Integrated Science have set up learning platforms on the internet. 100 iPads have been brought for online pedagogical uses, sharing, discussions and interactions.

Life Planning Education:
Aims at helping students to understand themselves, clarify their value system, become more confident, set up goals and reflect so as to make reasonable self-requests and to raise self-effectiveness. Another objective is to enhance students' understanding of various situations in the working world and different paths for further studies and career development so as to set up their life goals earlier and work hard to achieve them. Career and Life Planning, on the one hand, directs students to acquire, based on their interests and ability, the knowledge, skills and attitudes needed for making appropriate decisions in further studies or career development and, on the other, links up studies, life goals and whole-person development with life learning. Also, students will be reminded that life planning is hot a once-and-for-all process. To achieve expected effectiveness, repetition of things are necessary to strengthen ideas.
