Whole-school Language Policy:
Except for teaching Chinese related subjects, all classes in STMGSS adopt English as the medium of instruction, and a Native English speaking Teacher is employed. We also promote the use of Putonghua and Chinese enthusiastically to provide students with an environment that cultivate students' ability in biliteracy and trilingualism. In order to foster an English speaking and language rich environment, students are given opportunities to present in English and Putonghua, as well as serving as emcees at school assemblies and other school events. We provide opportunities for students to communicate with students from Mainland China and other countries with an aim to enhance their English and Putonghua standard. To promote reading, the school arranges one reading session every afternoon and students are urged to join inter class and inter school reading competitions.

Learning and Teaching Strategies:
In order to cater for learner diversities, S.1 – S.5 students have been streamed according to their English ability and overall results in the past academic year. The more able students are encouraged to join various gifted programmes, along with leadership training programmes and the Mathematical Olympiad classes. Students with less satisfactory results will be arranged to join remedial lessons and retest(s), so as to enhance their learning performance. Besides, collaborative lesson planning periods are arranged for teachers to plan the lessons together according to students' need. The school also emphasizes the development of reflective learning skills and the teaching of various learning skills to students in different forms, including communication skills, problem solving skills, critical thinking skills, logical thinking skills and collaborative learning. Students apply these skills in their daily studies and project work. The school also encourages students to join study tours so as to broaden their horizons.

Development of the Four Key Tasks:
There are four reading periods in the afternoon in a week for all class teachers and students to develop a reading habit regularly. Students are encouraged to join Chinese and English extensive reading schemes and online reading to promote a habit of reading and sharing of ideas. Lessons are conducted with IT for Interactive learning and teaching. Some subjects require students to submit assignments online; teachers also mark assignments on the web. Through subject homepages, supplementary materials are uploaded and distributed to students. STEM and Cross curricular project based learning is implemented in junior forms to cultivate project learning skills and to evaluate / assess students' learning. Development of generic skills in students prepares them for the independent enquiry studies in the Senior Secondary curriculum. Apart from regular talks in school assemblies, class periods, reading periods, thematic board displays, etc. National Security Education, Moral, Civic and National education are also incorporated into the teaching schemes of all subjects. Our school hosts the flag raising ceremony every week and invites teachers and students to give a talk under the national flag in order to raise students' awareness of their national identity.

Life Planning Education:
Life planning education aims at fostering students’ self understanding, personal planning, goal setting, reflective habits of mind and articulation to progression pathways. The school not only provides advisory service for students on future studies or career choice, but also connects with school’s curriculum, cooperates with different sectors in society, to lead students out of the classroom to gain a wider perspective of the world so that they can get prepared for transition to work and challenges in the future.
