Learning and Teaching Plan
Whole-school Language Policy:
The school strives to enhance students’ bi-literate and trilingual abilities. We adopt small-class teaching in English lessons and allocate extra resources to language teaching so as to create an English-rich campus.
To ensure a continuity in the use of English as the medium of instruction, subjects offered in English in Junior Secondary (JS) are still available in English in Senior Secondary (SS).
Learning and Teaching Strategies:
We provide an all-round education and encourage multifarious instructional strategies with the use of I.T. to stimulate students and to develop their critical thinking. Cross-curriculum programs such as the Junior Secondary School-based Curriculum, the Reading Scheme and the School Life Education Scheme and the CORE Day echo the themes of the education reform to nurture students' generic skills and to build for them a foundation for life-wide learning. Our School-based Junior Secondary Curriculum is formulated with the co-ordinated efforts of different subjects to develop the generic skills of S.1-3 students systematically.
School-based curriculum:
1. Electives: 2X and 3X. There are 110 combinations of elective subjects for senior form students. We provide two extra subjects, Music and Life Planning, to S.4 students to cater for their diverse learning and development needs.
2. Curriculum highlights: S.1-3 School-based Curriculum: We cultivate self-learning skill among students from the beginning of S.1. In S.3, we integrate the Youth Development Program of the Health Department to develop students' self-management and communication skills. In S.2, students have to work on a project under teachers' supervision to promote self-directed learning and problem-solving skills. Students' critical thinking skills are enhanced through practice in debate and writing in language subjects. Besides, we also provide My May and TWGHs Moral Education Course so that students positive value can be cultivated.

Activities on moral and civic education are planned by the Moral and Civic Education Committee and conducted in the weekly class period.

Our school has designed a comprehensive career planning education from junior form to senior form. Activities include talks, workshops, careers test, visits to post-secondary institutions and workplace, guidance on release of public examinations and further studies. With more resources provided by the government under the Career and Life Planning Grant, we step further to provide individual or group guidance on further studies to all S.3-S.6 students. Systematic record would be made to facilitate follow up and support in later days. We also launch the ‘Mentorship Programme’ and develop school-based teaching materials on working attitude.
