Learning and Teaching Plan
Whole-school Language Policy:
Chinese language is the medium of instruction.
Learning and Teaching Strategies:
Our school puts emphasis on providing an all-round education and offering students multiple learning opportunities in the five aspects of development, which are moral, intellectual, physical, social and aesthetic. We hope to explore students’ potentials through interactive teaching and learning strategies, the widespread use of Information Technology and diversified extra-curricular activities.
School-based curriculum:
1. Electives: 3X. Two combinations of elective subjects are provided and students are required to opt for one elective subject in each combination. Students can also choose Mathematics Extended Part Module 1 or other Applied Learning courses as their third elective.
2. Curriculum highlights: Curriculum adaption, multi-sensory approach, interest and abilities of learners, Teaching & Learning in Information Technology, Development of Generic Skills, Applied Learning and Other Learning Experience etc.
Development of the Four Key Tasks:
1. Moral and Civic Education: Through learning and teaching in different subjects and Other Learning Experiences (OLE), the school aims at cultivating students’ positive values and attitudes and promoting whole-person development.
2. Reading to Learn: Besides the ongoing Morning Reading Lessons and Chinese and English Extensive Reading Scheme, the school promotes reading across the curriculum. The main purpose is to involve reading habits in different subjects so that students can read a wider range of materials.
3. Project Learning: The school puts emphasis on helping students build up generic skills through collaboration across the curriculum.
4. Utilization of IT to promote interactive learning: All teaching staff have completed Information Technology teaching courses and attained the standard required by the Education Bureau (EDB). Students are able to get access to learning resources shared by teachers. The school also has installed a Wi-Fi network to create an IT-rich school environment and interactive learning. It is expected that students can develop life-long self-directed learning through e-learning.

Student Support
Whole School Approach to Catering for Learner Diversity:
One of the targets of the Academic Department is to cater for student diversity. Lesson plans and assignments are well designed to achieve the goals of teaching based on development of individual students’ abilities and potentials.
Whole School Approach to Integrated Education:
The Student Support Team in our school is responsible for planning, implementing and reviewing the support measures for the Integrated Education. It also formulates ‘School-based Integrated Education Policy’. Under the policy, ‘Whole School Approach’ is adopted to encourage the Special Educational Needs Coordinator, Special Educational Needs Support Teacher, counselling teacher, class teachers and subject teachers to develop support measures collaboratively for the students with SEN.
After obtaining consent from parents, our school would collect the information of the new S.1 students with SEN so as to identify their special educational needs earlier and then provide them with appropriate support. For those suspected students with SEN, our school would refer them to the educational psychologist for further assessment.
To strengthen the fairness of exams, our school has adopted internal examination accommodation and also assists the students with SEN to apply for the similar accommodation in the public exams.
The Student Support Team would invite parents, the educational psychologist and teachers concerned to attend meetings to follow up the supportive measures, if necessary. Besides, Summary of Support for Student are regularly distributed to their parents for handy reference.
Our school flexibly deploys the Learning Support Grant to hire services including speech therapy, social skill training groups, extra curriculum interest group, individual and group counselling as well as after school tutorials, and also employ a counsellor to assist the students with SEN properly.

Measures to provide adaptation for Learning and Assessment:
There are three school terms in an academic year. To assess the progress of students, continuous assessments in the forms of homework, class work, projects and presentations are used for the coursework mark whereas the summative assessment is used for the exam mark in each term.

Home-School Co-operation and School Ethos
Home-School Co-operation:
Parent Teacher Association (PTA) holds regular meetings to provide a platform for different stakeholders to exchange opinions. A parent representative is chosen to join the School Management Committee so that parents’ opinions can be expressed and considered when setting up school policies. PTA provides scholarships to award students who have made great improvement in academic achievement and conduct, and those who have had
outstanding performance in non-academic fields. PTA promotes home-school co-operation by recruiting parent volunteers, training committee members, and organizing workshops and seminars with the aid of external parties.
School Ethos:
We enjoy a harmonious student-teacher relationship though we have a stringent school motto. At the same time, we pay special attention to students’ needs. The best examples to illustrate our full support for students with different learning needs are the “Big Brothers and Big Sisters Scheme” by the Counseling Team and the school social workers; "Basic Life Skill Training Programme" and assemblies by the Civic Education Team; and the guidance of the persistent disciplinary teachers. Besides helping students grow up healthily by means of the ‘Healthy Campus Policy’, we also put an emphasis on the building of class ethos. Class teachers are carefully chosen and the ‘Caring Culture’ is promoted throughout the school, hoping that students can grow up in a rewarding and joyful learning environment.
