School's Major Concerns:
1. To promote professional development of teachers and to enhance the leadership of the middle management
2. To strengthen the implementation of inquiry-based learning and to cater for learner diversity
3. To continue to develop the programme of positive education and to optimise the curriculum of personal growth on a six-year basis, highlighting the qualities of being a Tzetinian
School Management Organisation:
We employ a school-based management approach with the Principal as the head. Different functional groups, like the Studies Department, Discipline Department, Guidance and Counselling Department, Career Department, Extra-Curricular Activity Department, Moral Education Department, Civic Education Department and General Affairs Department, work closely with each other on a form basis to cater for the needs of our students.
Incorporated Management Committee / School Management Committee / Management Committee:
Our school has implemented school-based management since 1997. The School Advisory Committee was set up under the supervision of the School Management Committee.

Learning and Teaching Plan
Whole-school Language Policy:
Our school emphasizes biliteracy and tri-lingualism. Extra resources have been allocated to promote language learning. During Chinese and English language lessons, students are streamed into small groups so that students' diverse needs could be catered and more effective strategies could be employed to enhance the language standard of the students. In some groups of our junior form classes, Mathematics and Science are taught in English. The school regularly organises extended learning activities to boost students' interest in language learning. To enhance students' proficiency in Putonghua, the school offers Putonghua lessons in all junior forms.
Learning and Teaching Strategies:
We endeavour to create a congenial learning environment for the students' all-round development. Various field trips to museums, science centres and overseas study tours make learning possible inside and outside of classrooms. This promotes self-directed learning and broadens students' horizons. By carefully planning the depth and breadth of our curriculum and using Chinese as the medium of instruction, we strive to cater for the levels and needs of our students. The school also utilises information technology to facilitate students' acquisition of knowledge. Reading classes are arranged in junior forms to help students develop learning and reading strategies. We encourage our students to read regularly and extensively so as to broaden their horizons. In addition to the extensive reading scheme in English Language and Chinese Language subjects, the school library organises book exhibition and inter-house reading competition to foster students' reading habit. Morning reading class and inter-school writing competition are in place to reinforce students' creativity and their interest in reading.
School-based curriculum:
1. Electives: 3X. Students can choose 3 out of 11 elective subjects.
2. Curriculum highlights: In order to cater for the learning needs of students at different levels, our school has utilised additional resources and employed different teaching strategies. For students with learning difficulties, they will be allocated to remedial groups of a smaller class size. In order to assist the students to catch up with their fellow classmates, we tailor our curriculum and organise tutorial classes for the students. Apart from the formal academic curriculum, our school also stresses the importance of mental development of our students. The Discipline Department and the Counselling and Guidance Department join hands to organise a wide range of activities to support students' growth and development so that students understand the significance of respecting themselves, others and regulations. It is expected that all-round development can be achieved among our students.
Development of the Four Key Tasks:
Self-directed learning programme: The Self-access Learning Center helps promote self-directed learning among junior forms in the school. IT pedagogy: Interactive teaching and learning atmosphere is developed through the help of information technology. Moral and Civic Education: A wide range of moral and civic education activities are frequently held on a class basis. Promotion of Reading: Reading award scheme is launched to encourage students to read extensively. The elements of the four key tasks are immersed into the curriculum of individual subjects.
Life Planning Education:
In order to cater for students’ developmental needs, our school has implemented a Life Planning Education curriculum for students across all forms. Besides career-related learning in the classroom, students can have better career exploration by participating in various activities, such as, workshops, visits, talks and work attachment. Students are expected to hone the skills to be confident job seekers, having good understanding of themselves, their own career goals and the workplace. Together with the training on self management skills we provide to students, it is hoped that they will be able to cope with the transition from school to workplace.
