(4) School Green Policy	:	Our school has won the "My Green Space” Green Building Competition for Schools for four consecutive years. The competition is organized by the Hong Kong Green Building Council Limited (HKGBC).
Learning and Teaching Plan
(1) Whole-school Language Policy	:	Our school has created an environment in which English is widely used in learning, which eases the transition between the junior form and senior form curricula. The native English teacher (NET) conducts enrichment classes in the junior forms and oral classes in F.4 and F.5 to help students improve their speaking and listening skills. A wide variety of lunchtime English-learning activities are organized by the NET to arouse students’ interest in learning English. To promote self-directed learning, the school has designed a school-based online English platform where students have access to the English vocabulary items they have acquired in various subjects and their correct pronunciation. The school has also created an atmosphere conducive to learning English. For example, English is used in morning assemblies, and English videos or TV programs are shown on TVs on the school campus during lunch time. Moreover, a time slot in the morning is allotted to reading English materials. Furthermore, the “Job-Hunting Experience” helps students acquire essential job skills like interviewing and resume writing. Our teachers have been presented with the Chief Executive’s Award for Teaching Excellence in recognition of outstanding performance in English language teaching and Language across the Curriculum (LAC). Our school has adopted a “whole-school approach” to implementing LAC. Students understand the importance of learning English across different subjects through cross-curricular writing and LAC class drama presentation. A school-based LAC vocabulary logbook has been designed to help students acquire vocabulary and phrases from various subjects in a more systematic way. There are split classes for Chinese, English and Mathematics in order to enhance teaching and learning effectiveness. Students are grouped according to their abilities.
(2) Learning and Teaching Strategies	:	The school focuses on the learning of Chinese, English and Mathematics among junior form students since language ability is the foundation of learning. The school offers varied curricula which help broaden students’ horizons. On top of that, junior form students are required to take part in various extracurricular activities and cross-curricular projects. LAC Lesson” and “Reading across the Curriculum (RAC) Lesson” are introduced in the F.4 and F.5 curriculum with a view to raising students’ interest and abilities to read. There are both Chinese and English extensive reading programmes. The Parent-Teacher Association has launched the Reading Award Scheme in conjunction with the library to promote reading. The school library has worked with other departments to encourage students to read more often and hone their reading skills. Our teachers are accustomed to using e-learning regularly in classes to make lessons more interactive and engaging. Our teachers have become increasingly skillful in the use of “blended learning”, which has the benefits of both online learning and face-to-face teaching, as a means to enhance students’ participation in class. For instance, teachers can employ “Flipped Classroom” to encourage students to prepare for lessons via the Learning Management System, and take part in learning tasks involving high-order thinking in lessons. Students can also achieve personalized learning through the use of a “learning playlist”. Our school will participate in the ‘Quality School Improvement Project’ organized by the Chinese University of Hong Kong this year, with the aim of enhancing teachers’ assessment literacy.

For example, project learning activities are organized on special learning days. A moral education program specifically designed for Tung Wah schools has been implemented in our school. Information technology is widely used in teaching and learning, and there are regular programs to promote reading with a view to enhancing learning effectiveness.
(5) Life Planning Education	:	The Career Guidance & Counseling team systematically guides students to explore their own interests and learning abilities so that they will be concerned about their personal academic and career development. As a result, students will make an effort to achieve their goal and have a blueprint for success in life. Through sharing sessions, aptitude tests and hall assemblies, we guide junior students to better understand their interests and abilities, and help them set personalized and appropriate plans and goals. In addition, we provide students with the information and skills they need to further their studies in China and other countries by organizing seminars and interview workshops. We also provide individual counseling and interview workshops for Form 6 students, and arrange for them to visit universities on open days so that students can grasp the latest information about further studies and employment. We strive to provide students with the opportunity to receive quality university education. The majority of our F.6 graduates go to different universities and tertiary institutions through Joint University Programmes Admissions System(JUPAS) or NON-JUPAS means.
Student Support
(1) Whole School Approach to Catering for Learner Diversity	:	Our school attaches great importance to cultivating students' interest in learning English and is committed to creating a rich and enjoyable environment for learning English through varied English activities, such as playing English songs, English dramas and debates. These activities enrich students' learning experience and enhance their ability to use English. In addition, teachers use a variety of teaching strategies to cater to learner diversity as far as their characteristics and abilities are concerned. For example, Chinese, English, and mathematics are taught in small classes, and after-school homework tutorial instruction is provided. Elite classes and enrichment courses are offered to support students' learning needs so that students with different abilities can be taken care of. In addition, our school provides students with flexible subject combinations and choices according to students' abilities and interests, such as Physical Education, Visual Arts, Tourism and Hospitality Studies, etc., enabling students to realize their full potential.
(2) Whole School Approach to Integrated Education	:	The Student Support Team serves to promote integrated education and build a culture of inclusiveness by providing comprehensive support to students with special educational needs. Regular meetings are held in which teachers discuss students' learning and behavioral performance and devise appropriate plans to support SEN students. With the help of "Learning Support Grant", a SEN Support Teacher (SENST) has been hired to support SEN students by organizing various types of activities which help them reach their full potential. To promote home-school co-operation, we have close communication with parents so that parents are informed of their children's performance at school.
(3) Education Support for Non-Chinese Speaking (NCS) Students	:	Our school provides additional support for NCS students to facilitate their learning of Chinese: providing after-school support programmes in learning Chinese; appointing additional teacher(s)/teaching assistant(s) to support NCS students’ learning of Chinese; and organising activities to create an inclusive learning environment in the school.
(4) Measures to Provide Adaptation for Learning and Assessment	:	There are 2 term tests and 2 examinations in each academic year and tests will be arranged by individual subject teachers when needed. There are split classes for Chinese, English and Mathematics. Students are grouped according to their abilities. There is adaptation for curricula in various subjects.
Home-School Co-operation and School Ethos
(1) Home-School Co-operation	:	The school has the full support and co-operation from parents.
(2) School Ethos	:	In accordance with Tung Wah Group of Hospitals’ beliefs and missions in education, the school is committed to the whole-person development of students and the achievement of students’ full potential.

Different administrative teams like the Discipline Team, Guidance Team, Moral and Civic Education Team, Careers Team, Student Support Team, Extra-Curricular Activities Team and Life Education Team often come together to organise activities in collaboration for the entire school, such as the F.1 Induction Programme, Big Brothers and Sisters Scheme, Whole-School Volunteers Programme, Leadership Training Programme, etc. The school has taken great pains to provide financial assistance to needy students so that they can join more extra-curricular activities and gain diverse learning experiences, with a view to boosting their self-confidence and self-esteem. The school has taken sustainable, preventive and remedial measures in counselling students. The school has also established a rapport with parents since we strongly believe in parent-teacher collaboration.
Future Development
(1) School Development Plan	:	Our school has participated in the "Quality School Improvement Program" of the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Through lesson preparation, lesson observation, lesson discussion, curriculum review and planning, we promote and implement teaching strategies that promote students' self-directed learning. We aim to expand the depth and breadth of students' learning so that students can learn better and we can better cater for learner diversity. A "smart library" is being built to provide students with better reading resources, promote students' reading exchanges and teachers' professional sharing. Our aim is to enhance the school's reading atmosphere, cultivate students' reading habits, and facilitate students' self-directed and lifelong learning. Our school emphasizes the holistic development of students. Through different activities, we provide students with comprehensive learning experiences. We aim to promote students' whole-person development, and create a caring school and a positive learning atmosphere. We also aim to enhance students’ national identity and patriotism. Through school-wide participation and cross-disciplinary collaboration, students will have more opportunities to be learn about Chinese culture outside of class. This helps to cultivate their interest in and deepen their understanding of Chinese culture, and strengthen students' sense of belonging to our country.
(2) Teacher Professional Training and Development	:	The school values teachers’ personal and professional development. With the overarching goal of achieving school sustainable development, our school has established a “mentorship programme” to nurture mutual care between teachers and encourage more experienced teachers to aid in the development of new teachers. Our school has partaken in the “Quality School Improvement Project” conducted by the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Combining with the school’s development of “e-learning” and “blended teaching,” the school aims to improve teachers’ teaching and assessment strategies that cater for learning diversity and promote teachers’ professional growth through lesson co-planning, class observation and discussion. Our teachers have attended various seminars, lectures, and training courses conducted by the Education Bureau, universities, and other organizations. Teachers who are required to use English as the medium of instruction have all undergone relevant English language training. In addition, our school has established an effective cross-curricular English-learning approach and tailored relevant learning materials. It was awarded “The Chief Executive’s Award for Teaching Excellence” by the Education Bureau in recognition of our teachers’ efforts and achievements. Our school has been awarded the "Tung Wah Group of Hospitals Teaching Excellence Award" for five consecutive years, including "English Language Education," "Science Education," "Chinese Language Education," “Student Discipline and Guidance” and "Values Education". This reflects our outstanding academic performance and efforts in fostering students’ growth.
Life-wide Learning (Including Five Essential Learning Experiences to be Provided through Key Learning Areas, Extra-curricular Activities, Co-curricular Activities, etc.)	:	A wide variety of extracurricular activities have been organized by class committees, clubs, the four houses and the Student Association. There are some forty clubs which fall into 5 categories: social service, moral and civic education, job-related experience, arts and aesthetic development, and sports development. The Student Association is responsible for organizing most school activities, which provides a good opportunity for students to develop their leadership skills.
Others	:	The Tung Wah Group of Hospitals (TWGHs) offers various scholarships to students in recognition of their outstanding performance in different aspects. Scholarships will be awarded to students based on such criteria as students' academic results, extracurricular activities, moral character and financial needs. Our school has also helped students to apply for scholarships offered by external organisations with a view to providing students with the financial assistance they need to reach their full potential. Ms. Wong Yee Ting and Mr. Yung Wing Dou, our F6 graduates in 2023, won the TWGHs SF(MNT) Fund Scholarship amounting to HK$200,000 and are pursuing a Bachelor's Degree in Hospitality and Real Estate, and a Bachelor's Degree of Science in Mathematics, respectively, at The Chinese University of Hong Kong. Our students have actively participated in a wide range of competitions with flying colours. Our students went to Paris to participate in the 2023 "International Genetically Engineered Machine (iGEM) Competition", and finally stood out among more than 400 teams from 66 countries, winning the highest level gold medal in the competition, and setting a new record since Hong Kong secondary schools participated. For the first time, it ranked among the top 5 in the global high school category in two fields, namely "Education" and "Sustainable Development Goals". The results are encouraging. Also, our Athletics Team comprising over 80 students has won numerous awards, including the girls' and boys' championships at the HKSSF Inter-School Athletics Competition (Kwai Tsing secondary schools) for three years (2018-2020) in a row and we won the first medal in the history of the competition (2021-2022). Our teachers have developed efficient language across the curriculum teaching and learning strategies and materials to raise English learning effectiveness, earning our school the Chief Executive’s Award for Teaching Excellence.
