(2) School Management Organisation	:	The school vision of providing an all-round education is based on an invitational philosophy of education which fosters the respect for individual differences and the realization of students’ potential.

We aim at planning and promoting a sustainable approach to waste management in our school, that is, we consume less, produce less waste, and reuse or recover value from waste in order to return the money back for students to organize learning activities, outdoor events and environmental work.
Learning and Teaching Plan
(1) Whole-school Language Policy	:	To be in line with the EDB MOI fine-tuning policy, English is used as the medium of instruction (MOI) for Science and Mathematics in all S.1 to S.3 classes. Extended Learning Activities are conducted in English in Integrated Humanities and Citizenship, Economics and Society. Meanwhile, Putonghua is also used as the MOI in Chinese lessons in all S.1 to S.3 classes. Together with lunchtime and afterschool English and Putonghua learning activities, we aim at creating a multilingual language learning environment for our students. In addition, after-class remedial support is also provided for students to facilitate their adaptation to English as the MOI. Both CMI and EMI streams are offered at S.4 to S.6 and Putonghua may be used as the MOI of Chinese lessons.
(2) Learning and Teaching Strategies	:	With a strong emphasis on student-centered Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL), students are actively encouraged to engage in pre-class preparation, collaborate with their peers, showcase their learning outcomes, and engage in critical reflection. We firmly believe that by incorporating the principles of Self-regulated Learning (SRL) and Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL), students have the potential to not only master essential learning skills but also cultivate effective learning habits and elevate their higher-order thinking abilities.
(3) School-based Curriculum	:	1. Electives: 2X and 3X. A total of 16 subjects are offered as electives. Students can choose 2 electives or 3 electives. Senior secondary students can choose to study Applied Learning, Other Languages, Music, Physical Education, etc. 2. Curriculum highlights: Through the integration of curriculum and cross-curricular learning elements, a diverse learning experience is created, such as language extension activities, moral and civic education, school-based curriculum, extracurricular activities, and Life-Wide-Learning weeks, to address students' learning needs and broaden and enrich their learning experiences. The JS STEAM curriculum incorporates elements of scientific inquiry, creative thinking, and hands-on experiences to cultivate students' creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving abilities. Through interdisciplinary collaboration, students' ability to integrate and apply knowledge and skills are enhanced. Examples are the creative thinking course for Form 1 students and the scientific project study for Form 3 students. The drama education curriculum for second-year students is led by both English teachers and Native English-Speaking teachers in a group format, encouraging students to learn scriptwriting and experience elements of drama while providing opportunities for performances. This cultivates students' interest in English drama and boosts their confidence in learning English. In addition, the school-based Arts and Life course for Form 3 students focuses on practicing artistic creation from everyday life experiences. Multiple Intelligences (MI) course: In the first term in Form 4 and Form 5, students can experience art and establish positive values through musical theater and expressive arts. In the second term, students can choose their own courses to develop personal potential and interests, helping them broaden their horizons, enrich diverse learning experiences, and cultivate multiple intelligences.
