Learning and Teaching Plan
Whole-school Language Policy:
To further promote students' proficiency in Chinese and English, our school has implemented a new language policy in recent years. It is evident that the performance of our students in public examinations has been very encouraging. To provide a language-rich environment for students to become "bi-literate and tri-lingual", we organize weekly English morning assembly, Chinese and English choral speaking competitions, extensive reading schemes, multi-media learning activities, campus broadcast, English drama, debates, English Activity Lessons and English Creative Writing, etc. In line with the "fine-tuning" of the language policy in secondary schools, English is used as the Medium of Instruction in some subjects of some classes. In all junior forms, Mathematics and Science are taught in English and there are extended English learning activities to consolidate JS students' foundation in English (Includes Geography, History). Students are then ready to switch to English-medium teaching in senior secondary.
Learning and Teaching Strategies:
Our school endeavours to provide an all-round education for students. In class, teachers employ questioning techniques and group discussions to motivate students to learn and participate actively. On top of the acquisition of knowledge and skills, our school strives to instill into our students social awareness, sense of responsibility, right sets of values as well as national identity.
School-based curriculum:
1. Electives: 3X. Based on their competence and at their discretion, students can opt three elective subjects and applied learning courses.

The various subject combinations also allow the flexibility for students to make the most appropriate choices based on their competence and talent and a balance between arts and science subjects can be achieved.

Projectors, computers and audio-visual aids are installed in all classrooms to facilitate IT in teaching and learning. Various learning activities can be conducted through e-class in the Intranet. Our school promotes the importance of respect and responsibility through morning assemblies, mass programmes, monthly themes and voluntary work. The study trips to different countries help broaden students' horizons.
