To improve the students’ proficiency in English, while upholding mother-tongue teaching and enhancing proficiency in Chinese and English, our plan is to increase the total lesson time for conducting extended learning activities in English in S.1 to S.3. The non-language subjects such as Mathematics, Integrated Science, Life & Society, Citizenship, Economics and Society, Geography, Technology & Living, Business Fundamentals, Visual Arts, Computer Education and Music are taught mainly in the medium of Chinese, while selected topics and concept words are taught in English. Also, English teaching elements are strengthened in the Mathematics curriculum in the elite classes in S.1 to S.3. For the extended learning activities in junior forms, exam and test papers will partly be set in English for assessments so as to ensure students' learning efficacy.
(2) Learning and Teaching Strategies	:	Students are trained to enhance their analytical thinking, self-learning abilities and generic skills. To keep track of the development of e-learning and self-regulated learning, the "Bring-Your-Own-Device"(BYOD) scheme is implemented in all forms. All classrooms are equipped with a computer, an interactive whiteboard and a visualizer. The school has two advanced Learning Centres, STEAM Lab, an English Cafe and a Library Learning Commons. Moreover, our school has set up an "Outdoor Learning Centre" in Ha Pak Nai in order to promote school-based experiential learning and service learning programs. Our curriculum structure keeps pace with the students' abilities and the needs in society. A talents enhancement programme is set up in senior forms. It aims to boost students' performance by providing them learning strategies, advice on their studies, English enhancement courses, school preparation guidance and psychological quality counseling.

Through the Hong Kong Benchmarks for Career and Life Development, we have established a systematic self-improvement framework and a strategic vision to build quality career development and enhance the career development outcomes of the school. This year, our school continues to collaborate with external organizations to organize various school-based career planning activities, such as Socio-game, workplace visits and the "Mentorship Program" to provide students with learning experiences beyond the classroom and broaden their horizons. We also encourage students to set long-term study or career goals based on their interests, abilities, and aspirations. The career planning team teachers and class teachers provide individual or group counseling to students. For example, in F.3, "Subject Selection and Study Path Guidance" meetings are arranged in group sessions to help students understand their subject selection orientation, considerations, and other study pathways, enabling them to fully grasp study information and plan their personal career development path comprehensively. Furthermore, we conduct "Career Interest Assessment" to understand the career interests of all students.
