Whole-school Language Policy:
The policy "Fine-tuning the Medium of Instruction for Secondary Schools" took effect from the 2010/11 school year starting from Secondary One level. In ensuring the best interest of students and parents, the school allocates the 25% lesson time to the teaching of Science and Mathematics in English in junior secondary level. MOI policy extends to Senior Secondary level, that is, Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry and Physics are taught in English for S.4 to S.6.

Learning and Teaching Strategies:
To enhance students’ learning experience, the school initiates diversified learning with scientific elements integrated. The STEM laboratory serves as a ground for practicum of “Design Thinking” to encourage students’ creativity and facilitate innovation and technology in the campus as well as adopt in community services. The e-Learning task team is ready to organize, implement, evaluate and promote e-Teaching. We aim at enhancing teaching and learning effectiveness and promoting self-directed learning environment for our students. The development of diverse curriculum through various Key Learning Areas can perfect and broaden students’ learning experience. National Security Education and Basic Law Education are integrated into the curriculum to promote their national identity.

School-based curriculum:
1. Electives: 2X and 3X. Students may opt for 2 or 3 electives according to their interest and abilities.
2. Curriculum highlights: Based on the experience upon the completion of the English Enhancement Scheme initiated by the EDB, our teachers have upgraded our school-based English curriculum in junior level. In 2011-12, we was granted the Refined English Enhancement Scheme for developing school-based junior Science and Mathematics curriculum. The NSS students can explore the society through other learning experiences. It helps developing their lifelong interest, positive values and altitude.

Development of the Four Key Tasks:
1. The Reading Promotion Team is set up to cultivate reading habits; promote reading across curriculum; design school-based reading materials and provide strategies and insights for improving reading skills.
2. Apart from the above, the team also organizes various activities such as Meet the Writer, field trip and excursion and reading competition based on classic stories.
The future goal is the team is to promote online reading and establish better computing literacy of students which enables them to use and locate appropriate information using proper channels and manners.
3. Efforts will be put on "STEM", "e-learning" and so on.

Life Planning Education:
1. For junior students, self-recognition tools are adopted for identifying their personal interests in order to meet the needs at their different stages of development. The scheme – ‘Dream Chasers’ allows the students to familiarize themselves with different careers and its natures, and encourages them to make academic and career decisions according to their interests, abilities, and aspirations. Another scheme namely ‘Dream Writers’ aims to help students set goals for further education and employment, and also plan their future.
2. For senior students, their career development is facilitated by taking potential tests. From that, they can recognise their strengths and developmental characteristics as well. In furtherance of channelling the career concepts learnt in junior forms into real-life workplaces, various workplace visits, experiential learning opportunities, and job shadowing programmes are introduced to our students. Furthermore, they can boost the capability for dealing with and adapting to the transition from the school environment to the world of work. Coupled with individual counselling session, students’ study plans and goals are reviewed thoroughly. It is to ensure that they make informed and responsible choices for equipping themselves before they further their studies and careers.
