The main medium of instruction of the English Section is the English language. We also emphasize Non-Chinese Speaking students’ development of Chinese Language ability.
(2) Learning and Teaching Strategies	:	We adopt school-based curricula to cater for learner diversity. We encourage students to do cross-curricular projects that develop their self-learning ability. Native English-speaking teachers help improve students’ English language proficiency. We also review our curricula regularly to make sure that students acquire knowledge in line with our society. Our school-based curricula enable teachers to teach our students according to their different abilities so that they will find learning more interesting, learn better and achieve better academic results. We promote a reading habit through reading schemes and adopt the use of diversified assessment. Clear goals of sustainable development are set for different subjects to tie in with education reform in Hong Kong. We stress students’ different learning experiences by promoting life-wide learning and provide students with opportunities to learn and gain experience outside the classroom. Our school provides students with varied activities that improve the language learning environment and students’ language proficiency.
(3) School-based curriculum	:	1. Electives: 2X. School-based STREAM Classes. 2. Curriculum highlights: School-based STREAM Curriculum: In response to the changes of needs in our society and the rapid economics, scientific and technological development, our school is promoting STEM education actively in recent years, and hence equipping our students with the capability to meet all the changes and challenges in society and around the world. In Junior Forms, we set up School-based STEM Curriculum to let students develop their imagination, creativity, and problem-solving abilities in a pleasant environment through experiential learning. In Senior Forms, we added the "R" (Reading) and "A" (Art) elements to increase students' interests in learning science, technology and mathematics. Food and Health Science: Food and Health Science is a brand-new compulsory course for senior form students in Delia Memorial School (Hip Wo No.2 College). Students are given the chance to explore the miraculous world of science through hands-on experiments and activities. There will be 6-8 themes each year, all designed surrounding food technology, human nutrition, medical therapy and science innovations. Students are encouraged to think outside of the box and infuse the classroom with creativity and fun. Themes include investigating space cuisine with the latest VR technology, building their restaurants in dream with the help of 3D illustration and printing, computer imitation of human body, as well as local tours to traditional food processing factories. Food and Health Science does not only teach students knowledge in food production, health management and human physiology, but also aims to equip them with applicable coding and statistical analysis skills.
(4) Development of the Four Key Tasks	:	Promote teaching strategies in the form of experiential learning and project learning based on school-based cross-curricular programmes; to create a reading atmosphere and arouse students’ interest in reading, there are regular book exhibitions on different themes. Teachers share their reading experience and recommend books to students during lessons. Our reading award scheme creates a reading environment. We promote students to learn from various methods like working on Project-Based Learning. In order to enhance the reading environment at school, all students are required to attend a reading class, present a recommended book and join the reading award scheme. For the improvement of teaching and learning quality, all classrooms are computer and projector equipped; all teachers are able to use e-teaching; mobile learning devices are provided to students and teachers for the purpose of effective learning & teaching. Moral and civic education is incorporated in our school curriculum and our counseling team also has a comprehensive year plan to help promote moral and civic education at School.

Home-School Co-operation and School Ethos

(2) School Ethos	:	We educate our students with a combination of discipline and guidance. All teaching staff and our school social workers are involved in counselling students so as to help our students built a strong sense of right and wrong, enhance their self-discipline and initiative to learn and become responsible citizens.
Future Development
(1) School Development Plan	:	Starting from the academic year 2018/19, there are a number of new initiatives to be implemented at the School. For instance, experiential learning for students, in particular in junior forms, will be adopted as learning is at best when learners have the desire to learn and try on their own. The process of learning through experience and learning through their own reflection of what they have done is of utmost importance to motivate them to keep learning. In that sense, learners clearly know what they have grasped and are willing to progress and reach their next targets. One cannot deny that learning should not be confined by walls. Instead, the beauty of learning lies in learning everywhere at any time. Apart from these, we believe that life-planning and career guidance activities are essential for our students. While junior forms’ students have all these scheduled in their class teacher periods and assemblies, we have set aside biweekly OLE periods for senior forms’ students so that more workshops from different organizations and companies and individual guidance & counselling services related to students’ further studies and career choices can be provided. Last but not least, a variety of outing and field trip activities will be arranged to provide students with leadership skills and learning experiences outside their everyday studies and activities. Scholarships and overseas study tours will also be provided for our students so as to widen their horizons and enrich their life experiences.
(2) Teacher Professional Training and Development	:	Teachers are encouraged to further their study and take professional courses to improve their teaching efficiency. Experienced teachers share their teaching experience with new teachers. Teachers visit one another’s classes and give feedback so that the overall teaching quality can be improved. Subject panel meetings are held every two weeks for teachers to exchange teaching methodologies and teaching experiences to improve teaching effectiveness.
Life-wide Learning (including Five Essential Learning Experiences to be provided through Key Learning Areas, extra-curricular activities, co-curricular activities, etc.)	:	The school encourages students to engage in extra-curricular activities and community services actively. Great efforts have been put in nurturing students' interests in sports, art and community service. To cope with the development of the OLE, the school has organized many different interest clubs, including academic and non-academic areas, of which the students are free to choose from. Besides, whole school functions such as “Open Day”, “Variety Show”, “Sports Day” and “Swimming Gala” are organized annually for the holistic development of our students. In addition, the school arranged a number of courses and activities, including basketball, football, dodgeball, floorball, volleyball, cricket, fencing, Hong Kong Schools Speech Festival, and Hong Kong Schools Music Festival for our students.
Others	:	Whole School Approach to Integrated Education: The Special Education Support Department aims to provide appropriate support to students with special educational needs. The Student Support Master, Special Educational Needs Coordinator, Education Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist, three social workers, and class teachers fully support the school's special education services to provide students with different types of services. In addition, we also provide special arrangements for students to adapt their curriculum and assessments for those in need. The major concerns of the Special Education Need Support Department are 1. To provide appropriate support to students with special educational needs, 2. To improve teaching effectiveness and take care of students' learning diversity, and 3. To promote inclusive education and inter-cultural activities, and to cultivate a harmonious and loving environment. The school provides different types of activities to cater for the special needs of students, such as remedial classes, groups for emotional management, occupational therapy, counseling services, etc. In addition, we also pay special attention to the social life and growth of the students with special education needs, social and activities groups will be organized to develop the students both physiologically and mentally. Life Planning Education Objective: 1. To strengthens student mindset and awareness on value education and life and career planning; 2.

In order to develop a reading habit among students, our school holds book exhibitions of different themes, reading award schemes, reading periods and book recommendations to further promote reading in school. Teachers reflect on their e-teaching strategies to improve teaching and learning. The guidance team implements a holistic annual plan to promote cross-curricular moral and civic education.
