Whole-school Language Policy:
Although Chinese is adopted as the medium of instruction, Life-wide Learning English activities can be found, e.g. English Morning Assembly, Singing Contest, English Corner, Solo Verse Speaking and Public Speaking competitions. Elite and remedial classes are organized after school in all forms to enhance students' interest and competence in English. Our school has also put great emphasis on boosting students' Putonghua(PTH) proficiency by organizing PTH Day, recruiting PTH ambassadors, joining Solo Verse Speaking Competition, having Song Dedication, Film Appreciation, PTH Store etc.

Learning and Teaching Strategies:
Cooperative Learning Strategy has been adopted for Chinese and English over the years to enhance interaction in lessons and raise teaching effectiveness. We aim at optimizing study habits, formulating classroom rules and creating a good learning environment for our students. Students are habituate to write reminders in their handbooks and submit their homework punctually. Since 2022, we have collaborated with the expert team from the CU again. Through workshops, lesson observations and debriefing sessions, we can optimize students’ strategies for note-taking, pre-lesson preparatory work and doing revision and ultimately foster their self-study skills. The 'Easy Start, Regulated Input, Frequent Practice, Instant Feedback' assessment mode is adopted in the S1-3 empowering them to enjoy a greater sense of achievement. Topped with mobile learning strategy, lessons have become interactive and engaging, students’ learning effectiveness can then be enhanced as well. Besides, promoting “STEM” education is another objective to provide more learning activities for students. They can combine the knowledge gained and students’ creativity can be boosted through application, investigation, collaboration and problem-solving skills. Motivated and dedicated students are appreciated with certificates and scholarships in various award schemes.
