Whole-school Language Policy:
1. Medium of Instruction: English is, and will continue to be, the Medium of Instruction (MOI) for most subjects in our School. As advised by the EDB, starting from the 2022/23 school year, certain subjects in Junior Secondary One will be taught in Chinese for some students. This will be a strategy to cater for students' learning diversity. Moreover, relevant measures to facilitate students' smooth transition to the Senior Secondary Curriculum (English as the Medium) will be implemented.
2. Medium of Communication: In order to help improve students' English and create an English Language environment in the school campus, English should be used as the medium of communication with students for teachers inside and outside classroom when the MOI for the subjects is English. All other teachers and staff are welcome to use English to communicate with students.
3. Purpose: Whole School Language Policy will be put in place in order to enrich the English Language environment in the school campus. Whole School team efforts are necessary to support students to communicate in English confidently and comfortably in an English-rich environment-one which is not conveniently available outside the school for the majority of our students, given their family backgrounds and preferred language.
4. Learning and Teaching: Language Across Curriculum (LAC) will help to coordinate efforts among Subject Departments and Committees to prepare necessary learning materials for students. Teachers should speak to the students in the same language inside and outside the classroom, i.e. English-medium subjects in English and Chinese-medium subjects in Cantonese/Putonghua. All are discouraged to use mixed code.
5. Students' Activities and Communication among Students: School Assemblies should be conducted in English, except for specific occasions as needs be. Materials on notice boards and display boards should be in English: or, in both English and Chinese as needs be. All publicity documents (such as circulars, notices and etc.) should be in English; or, in both English and Chinese as needs be. Mixed codes are not acceptable.

Learning and Teaching Strategies:
To live up the expectations of a Caring School, promoting Christian values, we are committed to serve with an educational vision of tradition and innovation. Students whose English potential is yet to be stretched will receive extra after-school learning support and care. Our teachers, alumni and former teachers are most ready to give support to such students. External resources would also be deployed. Suitable teaching strategies and school-based curriculum are adopted to cater for student diversity.

The school keeps abreast of the latest trends in learning and teaching and encourages continuous professional development of teachers. Lesson Study is carried out in each subject to enhance student learning and teacher professional development. Workshops such as learning skills are provided for students to enhance learning. Various teaching strategies such as flipped classroom, peer assessment, e-learning are adopted to enrich learning both inside and outside classrooms. Subject departments work collaboratively to stretch students' reasoning and critical thinking and implement Language Across Curriculum (LAC). We joined the social enterprise project of 'The Lam Foundation' and launched the first 'S-Café' in school in Hong Kong. The café is run by our students to apply their knowledge of business operation in an authentic setting, during which students learn corporate responsibilities. Workshops like coffee brewing and latte art are organized.

School-based curriculum:
1. Electives: 2X and 3X. School-based Economic & Financial Literacy curricula are designed for junior forms for a better interface with the senior curriculum.
2. Curriculum highlights: Cooperative Learning is a strategy adopted in subjects like Mathematics to facilitate peer learning. Students in S.5 and S.6 can join Applied Learning courses (Mode 1) based on their interests and needs.

Development of the Four Key Tasks:
All four key tasks are incorporated in the planning of the formal and informal curriculum. Project learning is integrated in the Geography and Liberal Studies curricula; Reading across the curriculum is promoted by the inter-disciplinary reading programme and the library’s reading scheme; Moral, Civic and National Education is integrated in an array of activities, from talks to visits to competitions, etc.; IT for interactive self-learning has been enhanced with the procurement of more electronic devices, stronger wifi and workshops provided to teachers on latest e-learning software and hardware.
