Whole-school Language Policy:
To prepare our students for tertiary education and better career opportunities, our school adopts English as the medium of instruction in all subjects and all classes except Religious Education, Citizenship and Social Development (S.4 & S.5), Liberal Studies (S.6), Extended Curriculum and Physical Education. Our school also provides an authentic and language-rich environment for students to enhance their language proficiency.

Learning and Teaching Strategies:
The school attaches great importance to teaching effectiveness. To enhance the quality of learning and teaching as well as the professional competence of teachers, collaborative lesson preparation, lesson observation and staff training are regularly conducted. The school endeavours to offer a rich learning experience for students to acquire skills and knowledge, while developing a positive outlook on life, through a school-based programme, Extended Curriculum. The S.1 curriculum focuses on personal development and resilience through a series of adventure-based training programmes arranged by SHUN Teens. The S.2 curriculum focuses on community service, in which students develop a spirit of serving the community and strengthen their sense of responsibility. The S.3 curriculum guides students to plan their future through a series of career talks and positive education programmes.

School-based curriculum:
1. Electives: 2X and 3X. Senior secondary students are given the choices of studying two electives or three electives for HKDSE.
2. Curriculum highlights: A number of subjects have their school-based curriculums namely STEM and Technology and Living. To stretch students’ potential, some after-school classes are also provided for students such as Mathematics enhancement classes, English writing and speaking workshops, as well as STEM robot coding training programmes.

Development of the Four Key Tasks:
Aiming to strengthen students’ self-learning skills and cultivate a rich reading atmosphere on campus, our school allocates one to two periods a cycle to reading. In Reading Across Curriculum lessons in different levels, students are encouraged to select books they enjoy reading and set goals before they embark on their reading journey. Inspiring interaction between teachers and students through book sharing not only adds pleasure to reading, but also motivates students to read for both intellectual and spiritual nourishment. To create a stronger reading atmosphere, Extensive Reading Scheme, Holiday Reading Scheme and book sharing sessions are incorporated into the curriculum. To nurture students into active learners, Project Learning becomes the backbone of both junior and senior secondary education. Students gain first-hand experience in data collection, field trips, literature review and research. IT for Interactive Learning: The wide use of intranet is proven conducive to learning and teaching. All subjects provide eLearning platforms to encourage self-regulated learning beyond classrooms. Besides, to keep parents and other stakeholders abreast with school events and important news, the school website is updated on a regular basis and is highly informative. Moral, Civic & National Education: Through assemblies and class teachers’ periods, the school promotes national, moral, environmental and health education. A healthy campus is established in which students develop healthy habits and a positive outlook on life. Student ambassadors are recruited to organize campus-wide activities.

Life Planning Education:
Career Guidance Team offers ample support for students to make well-informed decisions in their NSS subject selection and post-secondary education, and instills in students the significance of career and life planning so that they can strategize their life choices. S.1 and S.2 students are prompted to make a self-reflection and examine the roles of multifarious careers in today’s world. S.3 students are given talks to understand various NSS subjects and entry requirements of university programmes. To prepare senior secondary students for the future, different learning activities are organized to facilitate their career and life planning. Company visits, job shadowing programmes, school-company partnership programmes and school-based English Mock job interviews for S.6 are a few examples to show our students a true picture of the working world. With some effective career assessment tools, students are inspired to explore the correlation between personal aptitudes and career choices. Each S.5 and S.6 student is assigned a teacher mentor from whom timely and useful advice on post-secondary education is dispensed. Prior to JUPAS application, students are offered two individualized meetings with career teachers. Our alumni also contribute their generous support through their sharing in school talks on university application and interview skills and mentoring some of our S.5 students for their development.
