There are facilities like STEAM Lab (Maker Space), AI Lab, Communication Arts Centre and Chinese Cultural Center, and activities like English Mornings, Drama Festival and Language Arts Festival to arouse students' interest in improving their languages. Several subjects use Chinese as the teaching medium with extended learning activities in English.

We lay stress on students' language proficiency in communication, competence in information technology, learning skills and interest in learning for the life-long learning capacity. Various scholarships and awards are offered to motivate students to learn. To suit students' interest and abilities, to match curricular reforms and social developments and to keep abreast of the times, we tailor-make our curricula for students, integrating our school-based curricula and implementing project learning across curricula. Our school is currently implementing school-based curriculum integration, interdisciplinary theme collaboration, and school-based curricula for Chinese Language, English Language, STEAM, Citizenship, Economics and Society and Liberal Studies, carefully designed to suit the needs of our students.
