Whole-school Language Policy:
The policy of bi-literacy and tri-lingualism is implemented in our school. On the one hand, English is adopted as the MOI for Non-Chinese speaking students so as to set up an English-rich environment. On the other hand, Junior Form students (S.1-S.3) are taught in their mother tongue while some Senior Form students (S.4-S.6) are taught in English according to their individual abilities. In addition, some classes of two non-language subjects, namely, Mathematics and Integrated Science in Junior Forms, are taught in English.

Learning and Teaching Strategies:
The whole school year is divided into two terms. To cater for learning uniqueness, streaming arrangement and small class setting are adopted. Some classes are taught in different ability groups for English, Chinese and Mathematics subjects. A variety of teaching approaches, e.g. collaborative learning, project-based learning, e-learning and etc, are employed to facilitate teacher-student interaction as well as student-student interaction and to encourage students to think, express themselves or do self-learning. Continuous assessment is used in all levels to facilitate learning and monitor learning progress. In common periods, teachers meet to design teaching materials and activities for lessons, evaluate students’ progress and reflect on their teaching effectiveness so as to seek improvement in teaching. We also strive to develop a “school-based curriculum” to cater for students’ needs & abilities.

School-based curriculum:
1. Electives: 2X. There are 9 elective subjects for Senior Form students to choose. The elective subjects would be assigned to S.4 students so as to maximise the satisfaction rate of students’ choices and to meet their learning needs.
2. Curriculum highlights:
The school is focusing on the development of the STEAM Education Aviation Curriculum. Besides Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, we have added on the elements Art and Aviation. Through STEAM, students can learn physics and astronomy knowledge. Through assembling robots and writing programs, students can also develop their knowledge in computer programming and engineering. Art is an indispensable element of STEAM education because any product would become raw and lifeless without it. As for Aviation, it helps students join the aviation industry by learning UAV operating skills and aviation knowledge.
To meet the senior secondary curriculum and the needs of our students, we develop a school-based curriculum which includes: Ethics and Religious Studies, English Drama. Other than the learning in the classroom, our curriculum provides students with sufficient opportunities for life-wide learning, which includes: visits, excursions, voluntary work and study tours, so as to extend and enrich their learning experience.

Development of the Four Key Tasks:
1. Reading to Learn: There are morning reading sessions of different themes for students and teachers to read together. Seminars on sharing of reading experience are held on a regular basis. To encourage writing, we invite famous writers to come to our school to share their writing experience with students. Extensive reading is promoted in each Key Learning Area (KLA) so as to expand students’ knowledge in that area. Strategies to promote extensive reading have been carried out by different subjects in addition to the class-based reading award schemes of language subjects, so as to promote Reading across the curriculum.
2. Information technology for Interactive learning. E-learning is used to promote Self-directed Learning of students.
3. Project Learning: With individual, group, subject, across subjects projects, the integration and application of knowledge and skills across disciplines is promoted.
4. Moral and Civic Education: Values Education is promoted through morning assemblies, class-teacher lessons, Ethics and Religious Studies, Chinese Language lessons, Chinese History lessons, volunteer work, as well as social services. In so doing, students are also encouraged to care about the disadvantaged in society.

Life Planning Education:
The Career and Life Planning Committee aims at helping students to understand the relationship between personality traits and career options before setting their goals. Career planning is the continual process of managing their learning and work to progress through their lives. It includes gaining and using the skills and knowledge needed to plan and make informed decisions about studying and work. With so many choices, it can be challenging to know what direction to take. The committee makes the best use of resources from both universities and professional organizations to have diversified life-planning education programmes, which include workshops on self-exploration, study and career talks. Additionally, career aptitude tests, mock interview workshops, visits and support for SEN students and S.6 students. We also support teachers and parents in helping students set their goals and career paths.
