Whole-school Language Policy:

To facilitate the learning of content subjects in English and to raise students' English performance, measures including, conducting assemblies using English, holding various extra-curricular activities, making English announcements, posting school signage, procuring external resources and employing a native English teacher, are adopted. Our school collaborates with the University of Hong Kong, the Chinese University of Hong Kong and the Education Bureau in enhancing the assessment literacy of English teachers, facilitating the learners’ positive emotions in learning English and providing gifted education in English learning respectively. It is our firm conviction to enhance our students' English proficiency and to improve their learning effectiveness in using English.

Learning and Teaching Strategies:
We put emphasis on the Learning and Teaching effectiveness. We are devoted to providing a positive learning environment that enables students to master good learning habits, values and attitudes.

Moreover, we aim at broadening students' horizons with different learning experiences both inside and outside the classroom, including life-wide learning activities, reading across the curriculum, STEM learning experiences and project learning through the collaboration of subjects. By devising appropriate strategies, students' ability to learn independently and cooperate within a group will be enhanced.
