(2) School Management Organisation	:	School-based Management is adopted. A School Development Committee has been set up under "The Incorporated Management Committee of St. Antonius Girls' College" which includes the Supervisor, the Principal, the Vice-principals and five Assistant Vice-principals who are responsible for "Teaching and Learning”, "Students Affairs" and "School Administration".

It also cooperates with off-campus institutions to organize field visits, volunteer services, drama show & lectures etc., so that students can practice in life and promote the green spirit.
Learning and Teaching Plan
(1) Whole-school Language Policy	:	The medium of instruction for Form 1 to Form 3 is Chinese with an emphasis on their ability to be bi-literate and tri-lingual. Apart from classroom learning, the school’s native English teacher runs a variety of games and activities outside the classroom to enhance students’ speaking and listening skills. In order to increase students’ exposure to English, there are also Extended Learning Activities (ELAs) for all subjects, exclusive of Chinese, Putonghua and Chinese History, in junior forms. Interactive games are designed to help consolidate their learning and maximize their opportunities to use English.
(2) Learning and Teaching Strategies	:	1. Students are required to reflect on and evaluate their learning experience so as to gain a clearer view of their learning progress. On Parents’ Day, parents and teachers also make use of the reflective learning journals to help students develop appropriate strategies to address their weaknesses and enhance their learning effectiveness. 2. Students are guided on how to take effective notes and note-taking rubrics are designed for different subjects. 3. After-school enhancement and remedial classes in Chinese, English and Mathematics are run for junior form students with different learning abilities. To equip senior form with better exam skills, the school runs after-school classes and arrange students to take part in different mock exams organized outside school. 4. Students are required to read across the curriculum as scheduled. Various measures are carried out to enrich the reading atmosphere on the campus like display of book reports, book exhibition and talks given by different writers. 5. Catholic core values are integrated into different curricular to promote positive education and cultivate positive attitudes among students. 6. Various modes of e-learning are adopted to give students ample opportunities to experience self-regulated learning. Collaborative learning activities are conducted to facilitate interaction and learning effectiveness.7. A learning hub for teachers is established through encouraging teachers to open up their classrooms for peer observation which gives them opportunities to share teaching ideas and techniques. In order to enhance professionalism in e-learning and collaborative learning, EDB and teachers of other schools are also invited to share their experience in implementing e-learning in classrooms on one of the Staff Development Days.
(3) School-based Curriculum	:	1. Electives: 2X and 3X. Our school has set up 3 electives for students. 2. Curriculum highlights: Mathematics are taught in Chinese or English while all Science subjects are taught in English.
(4) Major Renewed Emphases in the School Curriculum	:	1. Reading for FUN - Students select reading topics in groups, and then use diversified reading sharing methods to showcase their reading results. Different departments continue to carry out different reading activities. By collaborating with different departments, cross-curricular reading materials are also provided for students. 2. Teachers also make use of cross-curricular learning to help students integrate all the knowledge they learn in different subjects. By encouraging independent learning skills, students take responsibility for their own learning outcomes, apply common skills they have acquired from all subjects, think about different perspectives, organize their ideas logically and make use of communication skills to work cooperatively. All of these are very significant learning outcomes in the new secondary school curriculum. 3. Using information technology for interactive learning: Enhancing the effectiveness of teaching and learning, strengthening classroom interaction, promoting students' autonomous learning, problem-solving, collaboration, and other skills. Additionally, emphasizing programming: The curriculum. Furthermore, introducing the concepts of artificial intelligence and machine learning: The curriculum introduces these technologies' basic principles and applications to enable students to understand them. In addition, hydroponic planting systems are introduced for interdisciplinary learning, and students learn to use Internet of Things technology for data monitoring and improvement. 4. The school takes moral education very highly. The Counselling Team, the Religious Team and the Civic Education Team set up a moral education programme which includes the Catholic core values with a theme each year. The purpose of moral education is to develop students into good citizens who love their country, are self-disciplined, determined, respectful, responsible and concerned about society.
(5) Life Planning Education	:	1. A series of systematic life-planning activities are implemented to meet the needs of students at different stages of growth such as helping them to understand themselves and reflect on their personal goal setting and development, providing individual senior form students with professional counseling for life-planning. 2. Different methods including interviews are used to understand students' career interests and inclinations, and a variety of career-related activities are provided like job shadowing, workplace visits, a large-scale, life-planning experiential game, applied learning courses etc.
Student Support
(1) Whole School Approach to Catering for Learner Diversity	:	Through small class sizes, group learning, value-added classes, after school tuition classes, learning support from graduates, discipline and counseling activities and community service, the school and teachers cater for students with diverse learning abilities. In addition, there is classroom support, assessment moderation and after school, small group learning provision for students with special educational needs.
(2) Whole School Approach to Integrated Education	:	In order to provide comprehensive support for students with special educational needs and foster an inclusive culture in the learning environment, a whole-school approach to integrated education is adopted. Besides setting up the Student Support Team, which is made up of vice-principals, inclusive education coordinator, counselling teacher, educational psychologist, social worker and teaching assistant, the school also utilizes the Learning Support Grant and other resources to provide various kinds of support for students with special educational needs. The measures include hiring a SEN assistant to offer individual guidance and services such as supporting the students in classroom learning activities and homework classes.

Regular academic assessments, in the form of assignments, projects, tests and examinations, are conducted. In order to cultivate the habit of regular revisions, students have to complete a summative assessment on every Wednesday morning.
Home-School Co-operation and School Ethos
(1) Home-School Co-operation	:	Parents’ Day is organised every year to invite parents to meet with class teachers and learn about the performance of their children at school so as to promote the cooperation between parents and the school. This is a chance for parents and teachers to discuss any topics related to the students and make suggestions on how their children can make improvements both in conduct and in learning. At the same time, class teachers maintain close contact with parents and collect their opinions about the school. The Parent Teacher Association (PTA) helps to improve communication between parents and teachers. The annual activities such as handicraft and dessert making classes and the picnic also provide chances to enhance parent-child relationships. The PTA also gives grants to assist the award schemes of all subjects to encourage students to work diligently in the academic aspect and to increase their sense of belonging to the school. Meanwhile, the PTA regularly prepares refreshments to show support to the students who do revision at school.
(2) School Ethos	:	The students are modest, courteous, lively and cheerful. They are also willing to communicate with others. Having a serious attitude in class and following the teachers’ guidance, students have developed a harmonious relationship with teachers. There have been strong bonds among students, especially between the senior and junior form students. The senior form students have shown genuine care for the younger ones.
