Whole-school Language Policy:
Chinese is used as the medium of instruction. The elite classes with more English elements incorporated into the curriculums in S.1 and S.2 cater for students with better learning abilities. We are committed to creating an English learning environment and more teaching resources are allocated to the subject of English to enhance students' English proficiency.

Learning and Teaching Strategies:
We insist on adopting mother-tongue as the medium of instruction but at the same time, we are devoted to raising students' English level. We provide students with activities hosted by native English teachers, hoping that they can become biliterate. We also arrange split class teaching to reduce the class size of English lessons for students from Secondary One to Secondary Six. Liberal Studies is provided at all levels to cultivate students' character, enhance their critical thinking ability and stimulate their creativity so that versatile experiences in learning can be attained.
We focus on a well-balanced education between academic pursuits and extra-curricular activities, aiming at excellence in moral, intellectual, physical, interpersonal and aesthetic development. The characteristics of which include:
1. Inculcating the skills of leadership in students;
2. broadening students' mind and knowledge base;
3. enhancing students' skills in listening, speaking, reading and writing in both Chinese and English languages and abilities in Arithmetic and Information Technology.
The school library has expanded its collections for reading and study. In order to raise students’ interests in English, it has purchased English novels, comics and books with an accompanying CD-Rom in large quantities. It has developed and expanded its e-book collections in recent years to provide students with an ideal reading environment with a view to fostering good reading habits. Students can enhance their English competency through reading. In the hope of enhancing students’ language ability, we have arranged:
1. an Extensive Reading Scheme for S.1 and S.2 students.
2. Chinese and English Book Report Competitions.
3. a Reading Award Scheme and reading sessions for students and teachers.
4. story-telling sessions at lunchtime to arouse students’ interests in reading.
