Learning and Teaching Plan
(1) Whole-school Language Policy	:	Chinese is used as the medium of Instruction to enhance interaction between teachers and students. Our school emphasizes bilingualism and multilingualism to enhance students' language abilities. To cater for students’ need and boost the effectiveness of teaching and learning, 3 classes of students are divided into 4 English groups in all forms. Besides, well-equipped Chinese and English resources rooms are established at teachers and students’ disposal. Abundant opportunities are provided for students to give speeches in Chinese, English and Putonghua during Morning Assembly. In order to polish students’ abilities in using English, specific units in Junior Mathematics and Science are conducted in English in junior forms. Local English teachers and the Native Speaking English Teacher co-teach in all classes and a wide variety of English teaching activities are held constantly, like summer English bridging programs, English Week and English drama appreciation, etc. Besides, our NET conducts after-school oral classes for students.
(2) Learning and Teaching Strategies	:	The school is dedicated to creating a harmonious and orderly learning environment for students. We implement diverse, student-centred teaching methods to enhance students' motivation and cater for their learning diversities. E-learning is encouraged in school to arouse students’ interest in learning and enhance the learning and teaching effectiveness. A balanced education which aims at excellence in moral, intellectual, physical, interpersonal and aesthetic aspects is provided to develop students’ abilities and cultivate their moral integrity. Moreover, we develop our school-based reading curriculum to cultivate students' reading habits. Our school library and all subject panels have been working together to implement the reading scheme to encourage students to read more and to broaden their horizons.

Through whole-person development, students can identify their interests and acquire the ability to select appropriate elective subjects. Senior form students can have a better understanding on the diverse pathways and opportunities for secondary graduates and workplaces through Career Life Planning lessons, counseling, seminars, visiting universities and etc. Hence, they can make informed and responsible choices with regards to their learning, career goals and other aspects of life. Our school makes use of resources outside of school, such as taking part in the scheme of Project We Can 2, to provide students with summer internship.

We tailor our school's curriculum to suit the needs of students. In teaching, we promote collaborative learning so that students can learn in groups and help one another to learn.
