Whole-school Language Policy:
The school's policy on the medium of instruction (MOI) is formulated on the basis of students' abilities, needs and learning effectiveness. In response to this, our teaching staff has already made necessary preparations and completed relevant professional training courses aimed at strengthening language and learning across the curriculum. At present, apart from the English Language, Mathematics, Science (including Biology, Chemistry, Physics), the mother tongue (Chinese) is extensively used in the junior secondary curriculum, aided with English. English is adopted to be the MOI in Mathematics, Science (including Biology, Chemistry, Physics) in some classes to increase students' language exposure and opportunity to use English, thus enhancing the language learning environment and boosting students' confidence. In the senior secondary curriculum, more subjects are taught in English, thus enabling students to choose the MOI that suits them most. The school attaches great importance to training students to be bi-literate and tri-lingual. Part of the English classes of all forms are run in small groups, with the assistance of the Native-speaking English Teacher. In the senior secondary classes, grouping according to abilities and reduction in class size have been adopted to improve the quality of teaching and learning of both English and Chinese languages. Besides, Putonghua is also taught in small groups in S.1.

Learning and Teaching Strategies:
Spiritual, moral, intellectual, physical, social and aesthetic education forms the basis for our school's curriculum design, with a view to nurturing students to attain all-round development. By offering students a wide range of co-curricular activities, their potential is developed and a spirit of cooperation and service is fostered among them. The school values students' moral development and civic education, and responds positively to the curriculum reform. Apart from catering to students' needs, the school curriculum also meets current social demands. Much emphasis is put on religious and moral education, and affective education as well, which helps students in their character development. Students' participation and performance in extra-curricular activities are also valued. Remedial classes on Chinese, English and Mathematics are conducted in small groups for junior secondary students. Students are grouped according to their abilities so as to cater for diverse needs. As our school attaches great importance to completion of homework on time, a Homework Policy Enforcement Team is set up to ensure timely intervention and follow-up action with students for late submission of homework. Our school also arranges a 15-minute homeroom period each day to promote positive learning attitudes and habits among students. Extensive reading programmes are launched by the two language subjects, aiming at improving students' language standard. Besides, information technology has been widely used in the school in both learning and teaching activities. In recent years, much emphasis has been put on mobile e-learning strategies to enhance the effectiveness of learning and teaching.

School-based curriculum:
1. Electives: 2X and 3X. Our school adopts the Student Option Programme (SOP) provided by EDB to assign elective subjects to S.4 students so as to maximise the satisfaction rate of students’ choices and to meet students’ needs.
2. Curriculum highlights: In order to facilitate learning and teaching, teacher-student ratio has been reduced in both junior and senior forms. In junior forms, remedial classes are conducted in small groups for core subjects, including Chinese, English and Mathematics, whereas in senior forms, the original four classes are divided into five groups in which students are streamed according to their abilities to cater for learning diversities. Project-based learning incorporating elements of STEM Education is implemented with an aim to boosting students’ creativity and enhancing their problem-solving skills. Drama teaching has been introduced in S.4 English curriculum to boost students’ confidence and arouse their interest in learning English. The school also provides students with more opportunities to be exposed to international English language tests. Various off-campus learning activities including visits, excursions, voluntary work, study tours are organized to expose students to learning opportunities in contexts outside the classroom and to enrich their learning experience.

Development of the Four Key Tasks:
Please refer to the previous paragraph on Learning & Teaching strategies.

Life Planning Education:
Life planning plays a significant role at school in fostering students’ self-understanding, personal planning, goal setting, reflective thinking and articulation to progressive pathways. Life planning education is implemented in all forms, through which students are equipped with the knowledge, skills and attitude to make wise choices in accordance with their interests, abilities and orientations as well as connecting their career or academic aspirations with whole-person development and life-long learning. Individual and group career counselling is provided for Forms 3, 5 and 6 students so as to help them make informed choices and to pursue their career goals. Through various career-related activities, students can better understand their career orientations, know about the actual operation of different enterprises and learn the correct work attitude. Our school has taken part in CLAP for Youth@JC, Career and Life Adventure Planning Programme for Youth (Phase 2) to enhance our career and life planning education and career guidance.
