Secondary One Admission, Orientation Activities & Healthy School Life

Secondary One Admission	:	Our school will accept discretionary places. Our school will participate in the Secondary School Places Allocation System through central allocation stage (Applicable for admission to S.1 in September 2025 ).The admission criteria and weightings have yet to be finalised. Please refer to the announcement of the school in January 2025.
Orientation Activities and Healthy Life	:	S.1 Students' Orientation, S.1 Parents' Day, Youth Programme, S.1 Bridging Programmes. Before every new school year commences, the school holds an S.1 Orientation Day in which both junior and senior students are provided with good opportunities to build friendships for better social support and integration. S.1 Parents' Day is set to familiarise parents with the school mission, policies and strategies, thus encouraging them to help their children develop healthy habits at school and home. S.1 Bridging Programmes are usually scheduled in July to help S.1 students adapt to learning in English. 'Subject-based bridging handbooks', 'Learning to Learn Handbook' and related school-based programmes are also introduced to systematically cultivate positive attitudes and growth mindset in students, thus empowering them to learn in English with confidence. From September to November on odd Days of Learning Cycles, mentors from senior forms will help S1 juniors become increasingly involved in secondary school lives via various interactive activities offered at 9th period and after school by the Peer Coaching Scheme with support for adaptation and after-school learning support.

School Characteristics

School Management
(1)School's Major Concerns	:	Learning unleashes potential; positivity empowers life. Whole school Targets: (1) Strengthen learning confidence to develop diverse talents. (2) Foster positive values to boost learning efficiency.
(2) School Management Organisation	:	The school continues seeking collective wisdom from staff and stakeholders to provide quality whole-person education. Through clear division of labour and strong cooperation, our teaching staff, parents, students and alumni are empowered to take part in mapping out and implementing our school policies.
(3) Incorporated Management Committee / School Management Committee / Management Committee	:	Incorporated Management Committee of the school includes 14 members: Supervisor, Treasurer, Secretary, Principal and other School Managers.
(4) School Green Policy	:	To strengthen the school community's sense of environmental protection, we have formulated energy-saving policies as well as measures, joined Greening School Scheme, and designed different activities for both students and teachers to put convictions into practice. Every year, students actively participate in the Keep the Classroom Clean Campaign to promote environmental protection.
Learning and Teaching Plan
(1) Whole-school Language Policy	:	English is the main medium of instruction in our school. (Please refer to the latest online information of subjects offered for details.)
(2) Learning and Teaching Strategies	:	Our teaching and learning strategies are geared to gifted education for students of different abilities and aptitudes. To enhance the effectiveness of classroom teaching and self-regulated learning, we endeavour to arouse their learning interests, give constructive feedback, help them cultivate good habits of making preparation before lessons, learning in lessons and doing revisions after lessons. In the classrooms of Junior Forms, cooperative learning has been deliberately promoted by arranging every 5 to 6 students in a group with 2 group leaders who have higher academic competence and readiness to help. These group leaders are trained in the school-based Peer Coaching Scheme to serve as good neighbours for their group members, delivering timely support during lessons and offering care to their classmates. Interactive learning through different e learning platforms is promoted to enhance students’ self-regulated learning.
(3) School-based Curriculum	:	1. Electives: 3X and 4X. S4 students are allowed to study three or four electives under the new Senior Curriculum. 2. Curriculum highlights: Our school-based curriculum is diverse and flexible to meet our goal of providing student-centred and all-round education. Our 'Life Education' is implemented through different subjects to help students nurture positive values of affirming and treasuring life with emphasis on social participation. Furthermore, the activities for students' learning and development designed by different Subjects and Sections not only enhance students' mental and physical competence, but also help them further attain a fulfilling and flourishing life. Our 'Gifted Education' is implemented through Parallel Curricula, Tiered Assignments, Gifted Tours, Good Mentor Scheme, training courses and competitions inside and outside the school.
(4) Major Renewed Emphases in the School Curriculum	:	1.The three subjects 'Citizenship, Economics and Society', 'Moral & Civic Education'(MCE) and 'Religious Studies' help promote Values Education, Basic Law Education, and National Security Education. The holistic approach helps cultivate students' healthy values and attitudes, thus strengthening their sense of identity as national and global citizens. 2.Both the Reading to Learn Scheme and English Reading Buddy Scheme strengthen learning-by-reading ethos. The Language Across Curricula (LAC) collaboration further promotes extensive reading and enhance students' exposure to English in different subjects. The Junior Secondary 'Project Maker' activities help enable students to conduct cross-disciplinary research and presentations through Design Thinking, thus applying the English language to problem-solving and creativity in daily life. 3.We endeavour to promote STEAM education and use of IT in education. Students explore their potential and creativity through S1 & S2 STEAM lessons by participating in various training sessions, activities, local competitions, and national and international contests. Funding from QEF projects and the IT Innovative LAB has also supported further development in these areas. 4.We help students understand the Chinese History and nurture appreciation as well as respect for Chinese Culture. With interdisciplinary collaboration and diverse learning opportunities, students can better explore the essence of Chinese Culture, create culture-related learning outcomes and optimise the innovative use of Chinese Culture in contemporary era.
(5) Life Planning Education	:	With a view to helping students develop a more positive and global outlook on careers and life, our school adopts a whole school approach to support the Careers Section for implementing the Career and Life Planning Education (CLPE). The Parallel Curriculum Model implemented in different subjects not only helps students acquire basic knowledge and learning skills, but also enables them to seek their personal identities and values. Different sections have been holding a wide variety of activities. For example, 1.The Careers Section organizes a Career and Life Planning Curriculum for S.1,2,4 students together with careers talks for all forms, visits to tertiary institutes and workplaces of some professions, on the job experiences and individual as well as group career counselling, etc. Students can access information about career paths and equip themselves proactively to plan for their future. 2.The MCE Section has been endeavouring to train up ambassadors for running community services programmes as well as overseas exchange programmes in order to let schoolmates enrich their life experiences, broaden their horizons and establish positive life goals. 3.The CLAP@JC programme has been adopted to foster a sustainable ecosystem that unites the education, business, and community sectors to create a cross-sectoral but youth-owned support platform. It therefore promotes better career and life development for students, which facilitates their smooth transition from school to work. 4.Our school has become a resource school under the CLAP@JC Programme to lead our network Hub's direction and foster a community of good practices for students, teachers and parents, thus contributing to the sustainable development of CLPE.
Student Support
(1) Whole School Approach to Catering for Learner Diversity	:	We set up enrichment and remedial programmes in every subject to serve our students in accordance with their abilities and therefore cater for learner diversity. Besides, we carry out a school-based Peer Coaching Scheme in which senior students are empowered to help their juniors brush up their learning in English and other subjects.
(2) Whole School Approach to Integrated Education	:	The Integrated Education (IE) Section (Student Support Team) with different professionals develops an all-round inclusive education plan for supporting students with SEN strategically. All teachers are encouraged to attend the related SEN courses successively to enhance their professional capabilities. Outsourced training services help furnish diversified support for students with SEN. Moreover, the school adopts diverse teaching strategies, offers after-school individualized remedial teaching and makes special arrangements for assignments, tests and exams to cater for learner diversity. Regular SEN meetings, student assessments and close liaison with their parents help devise Individual Education Plans for students with SEN, collect opinions and evaluate progress, thus promoting good home-school collaboration. Furthermore, collaborating with the district social service units, the school strives to promote the inclusive culture actively in order to help all students understand and respect their individual differences in a school ethos of care and communion. Besides, the school has participated in the Student Mental Health Support Scheme and 4Rs Mental Health Charter to conduct more mental health programmes by hiring external services for different Forms of students, thus cultivating their positive attitude towards life and build their resilience.
(3) Education Support for Non-Chinese Speaking (NCS) Students	:	Our school provides additional support for NCS students to facilitate their learning of Chinese: appointing additional teacher(s)/teaching assistant(s) to support NCS students’ learning of Chinese; arranging intensive Chinese learning and teaching mode(s), e.g. pull-out learning if necessary, split-class/group learning, etc.; developing school-based Chinese Language curriculum and/or adapting learning and teaching materials; organising activities to create an inclusive learning environment in the school; and our school uses Putonghua to teach Chinese in all classes / groups at certain levels with extra support as appropriate, e.g. pull-out/small-group classes, learning resources with Pinyin, etc.
(4) Measures to Provide Adaptation for Learning and Assessment	:	The school's assessment policy enables students to continuously understand their own strengths and weaknesses in learning and reflect on the feasible strategies as well as practices for improvement. The school, teachers, and parents can also better understand the students' learning abilities, provide constructive feedback and suggestions for improvement, and adapt the curriculum design in a timely manner to cater for students' learning needs. Each mid-term assessment report shows the student's learning performance and attitude while the Academic Report provides the results of both formative assessment and summative assessment, thus helping evaluate the student's learning outcomes and progress.
Home-School Co-operation and School Ethos
(1) Home-School Co-operation	:	Our school stresses the importance of home-school cooperation. Through diverse means of communication with parents, we have been trying to let parents know more about the school life of their children, willing to listen to parents' opinions and making prompt responses to their concerns. Our Parent-Teacher Association is well-established. The committee members are always active and helpful in organizing different kinds of activities to contribute a lot to the school development. In addition to serving as bridges between families and school, our parent committee members participate in the administration of school affairs and discuss with other parents about the issues they concern.
(2) School Ethos	:	We aim to develop pragmatic, genuine, proactive and caring school ethos. We pay attention to all-round growth and development of our students by providing them with diverse learning experiences to lay the foundation for lifelong learning.
Future Development
(1) School Development Plan	:	The school aspires not only to showcase the healthy development of values, policies, personnel, pedagogies and mechanisms, but also promote continuous optimization of the three-tiered implementation of gifted education. The school continues to tap resources from the QEF and other fundings to create opportunities for teachers' professional development, empowering teachers to serve as activators of learning who facilitate students to develop the 6C competences for deep learning, namely Communication, Collaboration, Critical thinking, Creativity, Character and Citizenship. Students can grow in good relationships with their families, peers, teachers, professionals and God. With goals, strategies and perseverance, they can serve, learn and play in a balanced manner. Positive Education has been one major concern for promoting professional development of teachers and healthy growth of students. Growth mindset and character strengths are mutually enriching and, together with the ongoing reinforcement of gifted education, help nurture students into good, loyal and wise stewards of life to make their contribution in the local, national and global contexts. In order to help students pursue academic excellence geared to their career & life planning, the school will explore and adopt more professional practices of staff development to boost Classroom Teaching and Self-Regulated Learning with Optimal Experience for developing the habit of lifelong learning in students.
(2) Teacher Professional Training and Development	:	Referring to the T-standard as the Professional Standards for Teachers of Hong Kong, we have formulated a comprehensive Teacher Development Scheme to encourage and engage teachers in lifelong learning so that they can enhance their quality of teaching and professional competence to become the Caring Cultivators, Inspirational Co-constructors and Committed Role Models. The Scheme embraces coordination among school-based, subject-based and self-development-based training. With a view to helping youngsters benefit from gifted education, we are honored by the Hong Kong Gifted Education Academy (HKAGE) to serve as one of the three pioneering Gifted Education Satellite Centres in Hong Kong. Students from different districts can enjoy the convenience of joining the gifted programmes offered by HKAGE in our school premises while our serving teachers may enhance their professional expertise by creating innovative curriculum for gifted students to satisfy their craving for learning beyond the traditionally approved syllabus. Having joined the 'Gifted Education School Network', teachers can gain encouragement from network schools' sharing to promote their professionalism for sustainable development of school-based gifted education and help students explore their talents to achieve their life goals.
Life-wide Learning (Including Five Essential Learning Experiences to be Provided through Key Learning Areas, Extra-curricular Activities, Co-curricular Activities, etc.)	:	With reference to the five essential learning experiences (notably intellectual development, values education, physical & aesthetic development, career-related experiences and community services) and major renewed emphases, different subjects actively collaborate to provide related co-curricular activities for broadening students' horizons. Every year, two Diversity Learning Days are scheduled to provide students with experiential learning from co-curricular activities conducted outside classrooms. Our school has a Student Union and four Houses - Modesty, Love, Diligence and Sincerity - to which all the students are allocated. Moreover, there are 25 clubs which include 4 academic clubs, 8 arts clubs, 6 sports clubs, 3 service clubs and 4 interest clubs. To provide our students with different types of sports and arts training, "Lifelong Sports/Arts Programme" is launched throughout the year.
