Whole-school Language Policy:
1. Some students from each form, S.1 to S.3, are learning Mathematics and Science in the medium of English, so as to interface the learning needs of senior and university curriculum.
2. All subjects that adopted English as the medium of instruction must have textbooks, assignments and student assessments in English.
3. To nurture students’ communication and critical-thinking skills, most of the subjects will adopt Chinese as the medium of instruction but with English vocabulary items and unit summaries.
4. Our school hosts various activities to promote language learning, such as broadcasting programmes by Campus TV, conducting morning assemblies in English and Putonghua, both inter- and intra-school language activities and competitions, language ambassador scheme, language weeks, reading scheme, communicating with teachers from mainland and foreigner countries.

Learning and Teaching Strategies:
Through curriculum planning, students can create a rich learning experience and the usage of community resources allows students to learn various subjects through a realistic environment, so that they can benefit in terms of knowledge, skills, attitudes and values. Core and extended courses are set for each subject to cater for the learning diversity of different students. Actively utilising the advantages of information technology, adopting mixed-mode e-learning and promoting learning assessments enable teachers to focus more on teaching and ensuring the effectiveness of students’ learning.

School-based curriculum:
1. Electives: 2X. The school arranges different classes and groups according to students' abilities and small class teaching is adopted correspondingly. In terms of the subject selection in senior forms, in addition to core subjects, students are required to choose 2 subjects (2X) from 12 elective subjects or choose 3X according to their own needs. The core subjects of senior forms have been optimised to create learning space for students, some subjects provide aspects such as Creative Art, Life Planning, Reading Across Curriculum and other learning experiences. There are no boundaries among the field of arts, science and business, this can allow students to choose different subjects according to their interests and abilities.
2. Curriculum highlights: We implement Life & Society which covers the training of project learning, learning methods and the collaboration of key learning areas across the curriculum in S.1-S.3, aiming at promoting students' self-learning and high order thinking ability. English phonics and elements of language arts are implemented in order to promote interactive learning environment and enhance students' learning motivation. The Academic Committee inspects and evaluates our existing curriculum constantly, drawing up regular and non-regular curriculums according to our school's development and students' needs. Religious & Moral Education, Spiritual Education and Life Education are utilized in S.1-S.3 to facilitate whole-person development. The School-based Remedial Teaching Group coordinate the curriculum for the junior remedial classes.

Development of the Four Key Tasks:
Promoting value education actively, various subjects have added spiritual education, moral education, civic and national education elements in order to cultivate students' positive values and attitudes, and their abilities of value judgment. Recently, the school library has renovated completely and has become a self-study center for students. Reading corners are set up in each class to allow students to learn from reading. A 20-minute morning reading session is implemented every day, with regular reading promotion and Reading Across Curriculum being carried out. Project study training is included in the junior form’s life and society and junior form’s STEM curriculum. The school has updated classrooms with Parallel Smart Board, increased the network speed associated with the school's e-learning platform.

Life Planning Education:
The school’s life planning education is closely related to the curriculum and extracurricular activities. Our school has introduced the concept of life planning through life education courses and vocational morning reading in junior forms, the school has also cooperated among different forms to organize the "result sharing plan". The plan teaches students the skills and significance of goal setting, it helps cultivating the basic knowledge for students about the selection of Secondary Three subjects. In line with the Education Bureau’s measures to optimize the senior form's curriculum, our school has set up special life planning classes from Secondary Four, using the "Life Planning Map", "My Career Planning History" website and school-based life planning booklets as the teaching materials; and in conjunction with alumni associations, colleges, universities and other work institutions, to provide students with diversified activities such as career lectures, vocational co-curricular activities, workplace visits, mentorship programs, tertiary courses experience, overseas exchanges and study tours, etc., so that students can understand diversified paths and the development of possible pathways. In this year, the school successfully applied for the Quality Education Fund to build a life planning education center. It is hoped that after its completion, it will be more conducive to the implementation of life planning education, enabling students to make wise choices for further studies or employment according to their own interests.
