School Characteristics
School Management
School's Major Concerns:
1. To promote teachers' professional development and optimize learning and teaching strategies.
2. To establish the culture of Self‐directed Learning (SDL), promote extensive reading, and enhance students' learning strategies.
3. To implement Life Education and promote traditional Chinese culture and to cultivate students’ humanistic qualities.
School Management Organisation:
The School Executive Committee(SEC)was established at the opening of the school. Its members include the principal, the vice principals, department heads and teacher representatives. The SEC and task forces prepare and plan school affairs under the principal’s supervision to enhance front-line teachers' participation, thereby implementing different levels of work to benefit students. All teachers are involved in the implementation of the school routines. The management dedicates its effort to encouraging teachers' participation in the school development in order to handle constant changes in society.
Incorporated Management Committee / School Management Committee / Management Committee:
The IMC is composed of the people from the commercial, legal, financial, logistics sectors and the general public. It holds meetings on a regular basis, formulates school policies, examines school reports, development plans, budgets, etc. The Management Committee provides the school with sufficient support to improve the facilities on campus.
School Green Policy:
Students gain environmental protection knowledge through moral and civic lessons. S.1 & S.2 students who have lunch at school are required to bring their own cutlery and provided with reusable lunch boxes. In order to save energy, air conditioners have to be switched off after the on-campus lunch period. To strengthen students’ sense of environmental protection and energy saving, activities like the Countryside Cleanup, the Inter-class Used Clothes Recycling Competition, Waste Paper Recycling Competition and No Air Con Day are held. Students also have a chance to serve as ambassadors to promote environmental protection. Other ways to save energy include the installation of T5 LED lighting tubes, rewiring, roof insulation. To encourage recycling, there are collection boxes for used paper, aluminium cans, etc.

Learning and Teaching Plan
Whole-school Language Policy:
Bi-literacy and Tri-lingualism is given top priority. In order to enhance students’ interest in English, diverse activities are held on a regular basis, for example, English Day on Thursdays, yearly theme-based English Week, Reading Aloud Scheme, English Ambassador Scheme, Campus Word Card, a Sentence a Day, etc. An English learning centre has been established and annual English Summer Camp are subsidized by the IMC. To strengthen students’ proficiency in English, other subjects even design different English extended learning activities. Besides English, the Chinese department puts a focus on students’ writing proficiency and public speaking ability. To expose students to the use of Putonghua, this subject has even become part of the school’s regular curriculum and students have a chance to practice it on Putonghua Day.
Learning and Teaching Strategies:
Based on the principle of Bi-literacy and Tri-lingualism, students receive language training. With a view to strengthening interaction in lessons, enhancing interest in learning and even encouraging self-learning, our school values the application of diverse teaching approaches and promotes engaged learning. Students are expected to strike a balance between subjects of different kinds (i.e. Arts, science, business and technology) and we have school-based curriculum for junior forms such as Environmental Studies(S.2), Introduction to Economics(S.3), Accounting and Business Management(S.3), etc. Taking into account the students’ learning progress and the ever-changing society, each subject department make amendments to teaching focuses, strategies, teaching materials(e.g. worksheets), online self-learning and discussion forums every year. Professional development for teachers is also high on the list of priorities. Our school is keen to carry out lesson studies, collaborative lesson planning, peer observation, collaboration between different subjects and even sharing between schools(both local and overseas schools).
School-based curriculum:
1. Electives: 2X and 3X. Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Business, Accounting & Financial Studies, Geography, History, Chinese History, Economics, Information & Communication Technology, Tourism and Hospitality Studies.
2. Curriculum highlights: Balance with Arts, Science and Business.
Development of the Four Key Tasks:
There are four key learning areas. Moral and civil education, which is part of the school’s regular curriculum, is organized by the pastoral department and implemented by class teachers. Its theme is “We are family” and it is planned to suit different forms. There is a connection between teachers’ sharing (i.e. A Thought for a Day) and its syllabus. Students can therefore reflect on their personal value more effectively. It is clearly beneficial to students’ growth and development of one’s personality. Our school strategically places emphasis on students’ self-learning. Students can gradually master the skills for learning. Going through these experiences, students need to study and digest information across different subjects, thereby sharpening their generic skills besides mastering knowledge. To promote reading, there is Reading Scheme held by the Chinese/ English departments and the library. In addition, there are specific strategies to boost English reading and sharing. For example, there is a morning reading period and English reading aloud scheme every Monday and Thursday. English reading is a must for the first 10 days of a month. Some students serve as reading ambassadors to promote reading. Other ways include Reading Award Scheme, Book Recommendation, Reading Club, etc. eClass Learning Platform helps increase the efficiency and quality of learning, thereby consolidating subject knowledge and enhancing students’ self-learning.

Student Support
Whole School Approach to Catering for Learner Diversity:
To raise students’ confidence and the effectiveness of teaching and learning, lessons and activities are planned based on students’ ability. In addition to split classes and groups, our Gifted Education Team recommends elite students to take gifted education courses so that they can develop their talents. To take care of students with special educational needs, Student Support Team devises support programmes as well as special examination and assessment arrangements.
Whole School Approach to Integrated Education:
Through Whole-School Approach, integrated education is implemented to build an inclusive and caring school environment in which students with special education needs (SEN) can be provided with comprehensive and appropriate support. Student Support Team (SST), including the Vice Principal (Pastoral), SEN Coordinator, SEN Support Teacher, SEN teaching assistant, our school social workers, an educational psychologist and a speech therapist, is set up to devise suitable support programmes for students with SEN. To enhance understanding of integrated education, all teachers are kept informed of relevant information from time to time. If necessary, subject talks are held to share teaching adaptations and suggestions for SEN students. Our teaching staff are encouraged to attend the training courses organized by the Education Bureau to enrich their professional knowledge of integrated education. Our school flexibly utilizes the Learning Support Grant. For instance, a SEN teaching assistant is recruited to provide students in need with group or individual support. To increase students’ learning efficacy, enhance communication and instill a positive attitude and confidence into their life values through transdisciplinary cooperation, SST takes into account each student’s needs to provide relevant professional services such as training on social skills, language remedial teaching, speech therapy and educational psychology services with parents’ consent. Home-school cooperation is our top priority. To provide SEN students with support for their learning and growth, a communication channel has been set up between SST and parents so that they can be kept informed of their children’s learning progress and give advice.
Educational Support for Non-Chinese Speaking Students:

Home-School Co-operation and School Ethos
Home-School Co-operation:
To enhance family relationships and students’ sense of belonging to the school, parents’ talks and family activities are held. In addition, there is collaboration between schools at festivals, which aims at enhancing students’ understanding of Chinese culture and its traditions. It is a crucial factor in developing a right attitude citizens and nationals should take.
School Ethos:
Our school embodies the culture of simplicity. We aim at cultivating students' good character, moral traits and consciousness of citizenship. To take better care of our students, enhance class discipline and build students’ sense of belonging, two teachers work as a pair for each junior class. To build confidence and develop a proactive attitude, students are provided with chances to pay educational visits, join exchange programmes and offer community service, thereby broadening their horizons. In addition, elite students are role models and they take a student leadership role. Our school has designed Award Scheme to motivate students to learn and provide a classroom for after-school self-learning. Both the School Management Committee and the Parent-Teacher Association have set up a scholarship respectively to reward students for their excellence in conduct and assessment. To raise students’ awareness to the health of one’s body, mind and spirit and the importance of environmental protection, Healthy School Policy has been adopted. MAPLE scheme is introduced to foster the good character of students.

Life-wide Learning (including Five Essential Learning Experiences to be provided through Key Learning Areas, extra-curricular activities, co-curricular activities, etc.):
The OLE activities for senior forms and co-curricular activities for junior forms are balanced and diverse. They include academic, interest, sports, arts, discipline and leadership training classes. In addition, students have chances to visit Mainland China and other countries. They can also join exchange programmes and community service. Our school has triumphed at inter-school competitions and received numerous awards, for example, I.T. application, website design, project learning, etc.
Through OLE (Other Learning Experiences), senior form students are exposed to knowledge other than regular courses. To encourage students to pursue their own interests and develop their talents, the OLE activities are designed based on the junior form curricula of extra-curricular activities and experiences. In addition to regular class time, OLE provides students with other learning experiences including Moral, Civic and National Education, Social Services, work-related experience, art development and physical education. The ultimate goal is to broaden students’ horizons, nurture students’ positive values, strike a balance between regular courses and provide more opportunities for whole person development.

Life Planning Education:
(1) Development Highlights: "Broadening individual horizons" and "Dreams and success" Planned Development: Let students understand themselves through different learning experiences and formulate a right action plan. Reason: Students need to make the right decision for life planning in this ever-changing society so that they can find it less challenging to cope with future changes.
(2) Junior / Senior Forms:
Objective of Junior Forms: Concerning that Junior Forms’ integrated abilities are not well-developed at this stage, the idea of life planning will not be highlighted. Instead, more learning experiences outside school will be provided to enrich their knowledge in addition to broadening their horizons. Nevertheless, the course which emphasizes the relationship between the selection of electives and future careers will be provided to S3 students in order to guide students in planning their electives and assist them in self-understanding.
Objective of Senior Forms: Senior Forms focus on students' occupation exploration and education counseling. In S.4, students start to explore their job interests and create their career goals through internship and taster programmes. For S.5 and S.6 students, their career planning is of high importance so their study plan is followed up by teachers or counsellors who advise students to formulate a more comprehensive plan, if necessary.
(3) Parents: A number of parents’ talks are held for S.3 to S.6. They aim to show parents what their sons or daughters need at different stages more clearly. Students in their adolescence can therefore handle their emotions and stress more effectively.
