Each class will assign specific students to take recycled paper to the recycling bin every day, with the hope of educating students and fostering good habits.
Learning and Teaching Plan
(1) Whole-school Language Policy	:	Our school is committed to strengthen students' proficiency in English, Chinese and Putonghua and enable our students to be biliterate (English and Chinese) and trilingual (English, Putonghua and Cantonese) with Putonghua classes, and achieving good results in Chinese subjects. At the same time, we place special emphasis on improving students' English proficiency. The school offers a systematic approach to English learning, where students engage in a unique school-based listening training program divided into nine levels based on their proficiency. They are also required to complete daily reading comprehension training tailored to the language abilities of American students (Lexile levels). English teachers effectively integrate AI tools to provide extensive writing training, in-depth corrections, and improvement suggestions. Students use smart English tools daily to learn vocabulary, enabling them to effectively master a significant amount of vocabulary and help them achieve their desired results in public examinations. We implement "Extended English Teaching Activities" both inside and outside the school, allowing students to encounter and use English in various contexts. On-campus activities include publishing an English journal, conducting English interviews and editorial work, and holding Thursday English morning assemblies. Off-campus activities vary and include outdoor field trips, visits, and special studies. Each year, we organize overseas English experience trips to countries like Australia, and Thailand, where students stay with local families and attend classes with local students. We collaborate with non-language subject teachers, such as music and computer studies, to provide enrichment courses in English and facilitate registration for international English and Mandarin examinations for professional qualifications. Additionally, systematic learning of the Chinese Language enhances our students' abilities in listening, reading, writing, and speaking.
(2) Learning and Teaching Strategies	:	The school emphasizes cultivating students' multiple intelligences and comprehensive development in moral, intellectual, physical, social, and aesthetic areas. We promote self-directed and cooperative learning, utilizing advanced information technology and multimedia facilities. Extensive after-school support is provided for Chinese, English, and Mathematics. We ensure students develop regular learning habits through electronic platforms that track progress beyond class hours. Our "Learning Through Reading" programs, such as the eRead Scheme and More You Read, the More Rewards, encourage reading participation. Additionally, the reading group conducts cross-curricular and thematic reading sessions to strengthen independent learning skills.
