| Learning and Teaching Plan |
|
|
| (1) Whole-school Language Policy |

| All along, the school puts emphasis on "Biliteracy and Trilingualism". Our major concerns are: 1) Enrich the language learning environment; 2) Make use of the opportunities from the fine-tuning of MOI to increase Extended Learning Activities in English; 3) Raise the language proficiency of the teaching staff. The school provides a broader coverage of English learning environment for students with the ability so that students can adapt to English-medium senior secondary subjects. The school uses the Attainment Test results to allocate students to different classes. The school has set up a mechanism for students to be promoted to Form 2 and Form 3 classes. Our substantial arrangement to upgrade the language proficiency of students includes split-class teaching for Secondary Two to Six English; split-class teaching for English-medium Mathematics; school-based English curriculum reform, in order to promote interactive learning; assessment for learning to promote English learning; the implementation of Language-Across-Curricular English learning activities to increase opportunities for students' exposure to English; after-school English enrichment classes and the extra-curricular activities in enhancing language learning. There are bridging courses in English for primary six students allocated to our school to enable them to adapt to changes in the medium of instruction. |
| (2) Learning and Teaching Strategies |
:
| Through Professional Learning Community & Collaborative Lesson Planning, our teachers design interactive lessons, which have a variety of learning activities and are related to daily application for our students. Students are encouraged to participate, collaborate, communicate and create in order to construct knowledge by themselves. Besides, our teachers provide learning activities of different levels to cater for learners’ diversity. Teachers make use of continuous and different modes of assessment to give feedback on students' learning, so as to promote assessment for learning. Students are motivated to learn through projects, site visits, experiential learning, social services and self-learning on the web. In this way, it is hoped that students' self-learning habits and life-long learning skills will be developed. In accordance with the school 3-year development plan, the preparation for NSS curriculum is consolidated and implemented in order to ensure smooth transition. The school has adopted the block-timetabling schedule so as to offer flexibility for students to choose the subjects that they are interested in. |
| (3) School-based curriculum |
:
| 1. Electives: 2X and 3X. We offer 11 elective subjects, totally 15 groups, divided into 2 or 3 blocks, for our students to choose with reference to their ability and interest. Students can choose 2 electives across different key learning areas.
2. Curriculum highlights: Our school-based curriculum is broad and balanced, and we provide our students with a variety of subjects so that they can have whole-person development and learn for life. We have curriculum tailoring so as to provide learning activities of different levels for our students and cater for learners' diversity. Besides the acquisition of knowledge, our curriculum also emphasizes the cultivation of values and the mastery of generic skills. In addition to the core curriculum, extended curriculum is provided to further develop students' potential and cater for learners' diversity. For NSS core subjects: English, Chinese, Mathematics, and Liberal Studies, we arrange small group learning so as to strengthen the care for learners' diversity. |
| (4) Development of the Four Key Tasks |
:
| The implementation of the four key tasks enables students to develop independent learning ability and learn for life. Reading to learn: through the co-operation of the Reading and Writing Enhancement Committee, Library and KLA Extensive Reading Programmes, and Reading Period, students can learn reading skills and nurture reading habits. IT in education: Effective application of e-learning platform to encourage students to collaborate, communicate and create more. Project learning: F.1 to F.6 students have to do Cross-curricular Projects, and Liberal Studies carry out Independent Enquiry Study, so that they can learn to search for information, analyze the information, organize and present the project, and collaborate with others. Our School puts strong emphasis on Civic and Moral Education. Besides integrating this aspect into the curriculum of different subjects systematically, our School conducts different thematic morning assembly speeches every week. On top of these, we currently utilize external resources to provide students with various types of educational activities such as visits to the Legislative Council and overseas exchange tours. |
| (5) Life Planning Education |
:
| Our school offers comprehensive careers education and programs to enhance students’ self-understanding, personal planning, goal setting, as well as capacity to make alterations as a result of self-reflection. In order to help them explore more and set goals, Careers and Life Planning Committee offers a wide range of activities, including institution seminars, job simulations, firm visits, board games, mentorship programs, and individual counseling. Besides, we spare no effort in promoting gifted education and Applied Learning. Students are offered with diverse learning programs to actualize their potentials. |

A tailored class-based curriculum is offered in order to cater for learning diversities in students. Curriculum (English Language, Chinese Language and Mathematics) for academically-gifted students is offered to F.1 to F.3 students after school. We also provide remedial tutorials for students. The Counselling and Guidance Committee makes use of the Learning Support Grant for Secondary Schools (LSGSS) to carry out a whole-school plan to cater for students with special educational needs. We also employ assistant teachers and buy outside services to support them. In addition, we have a plan to arrange our teachers to receive training in this area to support students further. |
| (2) Whole School Approach to Integrated Education |

Learning Support Grant is mainly spent on employing counselors, clinical psychology service, and speech therapy service and interest classes for exploring students’ talent. In addition, our school participates in the Student Mental Health Support Scheme and Aim Project Autism Support Network.

In order to achieve the aim of home-school co-operation, the PTA also organizes different activities for the parents, teachers and students to join, such as annual outing, barbecue night, 2nd-hand book donation, and talks for parents. Meanwhile, parents also offer voluntary services such as student lunch tasting, being on duty in the Parents Resource Centre during lunch time, distributing 2nd-hand school uniform for the needy, accompanying students to the Hong Kong Speech Festival and concerts and assisting in handling lost property of students. Also, PTA publishes Newsletters every year to promote home-school cooperation. |

Teachers make every effort to help students to cultivate right attitudes and values, including self-respect, self-discipline and independence. The school has established the Student Development Committee to act as a bridge between class-teachers and various departments, to coordinate various activities to enhance the care and counselling for the students. In order to strengthen the love and care for students, reinforce the liaison with parents, the school implements the “Duo Class-teacher System”. There are plans to cultivate “class spirit” by arranging class level competitions. In addition to strengthening the cohesion among students, these activities can let the class-teachers have better understanding of the students so that they can help students to build positive values and attitudes. |
