Learning and Teaching Plan
Whole-school Language Policy:
Our school adopts English as the medium of instruction (please refer to the subjects offered in 2022/23 and 2023/24 for details). Through the Chinese Society, the English Society, the Putonghua Society and a whole host of language enhancement activities, students' interest and proficiency in languages have greatly improved. The different reading schemes, the Reading Lounge and the Campus TV Broadcast enhance students' reading and self-directed learning abilities in languages.
Learning and Teaching Strategies:
Lesson study and peer observation encompassing intensive professional exchange is a pivotal area in staff development. Teachers are also assisted in their teaching through the help of the Information Technology Committee. Students' learning is enhanced through project learning. Computer rooms are open to all students during lunch time and after school to facilitate research. The Exhibition Corner regularly displays outstanding project works. The curriculum is structured according to students' abilities and needs. Within such a framework, each academic discipline sets its own teaching goals, activities, homework policies and assessment tools in its annual plan. Through the on-going cycle of "planning", "implementation" and "evaluation", each subject fine-tunes the development of learning and teaching in the school. Enhancement of students' reading and language ability is achieved through extensive reading schemes in both English and Chinese lessons as well as the establishment of the Reading Lounge. The Reading Period in the morning has nurtured a good reading culture.
School-based curriculum:
1. Electives: 3X. Offer 3 electives in the SS curriculum. (Visual Arts/Music as the fourth elective)
2. Curriculum highlights: “Personal and Social Education” (F.1-F.2) is a school-based subject in our junior form curriculum. Through varied themes or topics, junior form students are introduced to the exploration of self, society, the country, human civilization and the material world for a better preparation of their senior secondary curriculum.
Development of the Four Key Tasks:
(A) Reading To Learn: The extensive reading schemes of both the English Language and the Chinese Language, backed up by the "Reading Lounge" as the hub of reading, foster students' reading and self-access learning skills. The Morning Reading Period also nurtures students' reading habit and enhances the reading culture in school.
(B) STEM education and Information Technology for Interactive Learning: With the grant from the Quality Education Fund, a STEM Room has been constructed to foster greater collaboration of different science disciplines and create a platform on which knowledge transfer boosts students' innovation. In addition to the LCD projector and computer facility set up in each classroom and special room, tablets have been provided to support electronic and STEM teaching and learning.
(C) Project based learning: Through the single-curricular and cross-curricular projects, our students have ample opportunities to gain wide-ranging learning experiences in different aspects, enabling them to acquire new knowledge and keep abreast of the latest developments of different subject areas.
(D) Moral and Civic Education: Our students receive moral education, civic education and life education in a lesson and an assembly once a cycle. Under the Big Brothers & Big Sisters Scheme, senior form students offer peer support and care to S.1 students to help them adjust to the new learning environment. The school also encourages students to participate in external voluntary work to serve people in need by implementing a "One-Service-Each" programme for S.3 students.
Life Planning Education:
Our Career and Life Planning Committee is composed of eight Career Teachers. It plans a Career Guidance Curriculum aimed at enabling each student to plan for their future with self-set goals and on-going evaluation of their interests, abilities and life values.
