Whole-school Language Policy:
The school adopts a holistic language policy in boosting language and generic skills. While we have a comprehensive curriculum for Chinese Language and Putonghua, with all Putonghua and English teachers attaining the Language Proficiency Requirement (LPR), our implementation of the use of English as the medium of instruction in major subjects and all aspects of school life is highly effective. Our Native English Speaking Teacher not only teaches students in English lessons, but also conducts interest groups after school. We also motivate our students to develop interest in English via the English Week. Indeed, we start nourishing the language proficiency of our S.1 students with a tailor-made Summer Bridging Programme to help them adapt to the English learning environment. Students are also exposed to an English environment through our English Speaking Period. School-based learning activities are also designed by the Chinese Department to help students adapt to the Senior Secondary curriculum. With the concerted efforts of our language teachers and their well-designed classroom and diverse language activities outside the classroom, the language skills of our students are greatly boosted.

Learning and Teaching Strategies:
In order to motivate students to learn, the school especially strengthens the ability of junior form students to prepare their lessons and make personal notes to cultivate their self-learning habits. It also enhances students' classroom participation through multi-faceted and interactive classroom activities, thereby enhancing learning motivation and increasing learning initiative. Students are streamed according to ability and differentiated learning materials are designed in three core subjects (Chinese, English and Mathematics) in S.1-S.3. Optional challenging bonus questions are included in various subjects as an extension study for students to develop their self-learning ability. In order to enhance the quality of teaching, the school vigorously promotes peer lesson observation and open lessons, and arranges collaborative lesson preparation periods for teachers of the same level to co-plan and co-teach. In addition, the school attaches great importance to professional exchanges between teachers, and invites teachers from different disciplines to share experiences in areas such as assessment literacy, collaborative teaching, catering for learner diversity and e-learning. The school also promotes effective learning and teaching strategies and encourages e-learning and development of STEM education.

School-based curriculum:
1. Electives: 3X. (a total of 13 humanities, science, arts and technology subjects to be freely selected)
2. Curriculum highlights: A great number of electives are offered in the Senior Secondary Curriculum. The provision of "Other Learning Experiences Lessons" helps enrich students' learning experiences. We fashion a curriculum in line with the interests and needs of our students, enhancing learning and teaching effectiveness. For example, the Chinese Language Department has a weekly writing programme for junior forms and a bi-weekly writing programme for senior forms to sharpen students' writing skills; the Geography Department holds different field activities to enrich students' learning outside school; the Science and Mathematics Departments organize STEM activities to cultivate students' inquiry spirit and problem-solving ability; in Chemistry, an online self-regulated learning scheme has been adopted. Interactive activities are also devised in S.1 – S.3 Life and Society Curriculum for a smooth and successful transition to Senior Secondary.

Development of the Four Key Tasks:
The school values the concept of "learning from reading" and promotes interdisciplinary reading and extracurricular reading. The school implements the "Reading Period" in the afternoon and sets up different awards to tie in with the "Chinese and English Extensive Reading Scheme". Book exhibitions, author talks, writing workshops and bookcrossing are held to further enhance students' reading interest and writing skills. Through project-based learning, teachers enable students to have a deeper understanding of the topics they have studied and apply them. The school fosters students' positive attitudes and values through both the formal and informal curriculum. A variety of activities to guide students to balance their development and establish a healthy lifestyle are held. In addition, the "National and Civic Education Team" and "Moral and Life Education Team" foster students' good moral character and civic awareness through assemblies, class periods and internal and external activities. At the same time, through the flag-raising ceremony, talks and mainland exchange programmes, students' sense of national identity will be strengthened. In addition, information literacy is embedded in the formal curriculum and I.T. is widely adopted to enhance interactive learning. The school has set up the Google Education platform, which includes tools like cloud drive and online classrooms, to support various learning and teaching activities.

Life Planning Education:
In order to enhance students' self-awareness and their career and life planning skills, the School's Career and Life Planning Team organises various types of activities during the school year, including talks for students and parents, visits to tertiary institutions, internship programmes, career and life planning class periods, career counselling, TWGSS Careers Expo and mentorship programmes for different levels.
