Life-wide Learning (Including Five Essential Learning Experiences to be Provided through Key Learning Areas, Extra-curricular Activities, Co-curricular Activities, etc.)	:	TYTC aims to provide all our students with essential life-long learning experiences for whole-person development so that they can become future leaders. Therefore, not only does our school place a lot of emphasis on developing students’ intellect through helping them achieve their academic potentials, we also encourage students to make constructive use of their leisure time to develop their leadership skills as well as spirit of serving community. This could be fully reflected by the mature establishment of over 40 student bodies that are classified under six major categories, namely Students’ Union, houses, prefect team, service groups (including Civic Education Student Ambassadors & Big Brothers and Sisters Scheme), clubs (including interest classes & uniform units) and school teams (including sports, academics & cultural teams). Our Dance Team, Robotics Team & Quiz Team have demonstrated outstanding performance with countless awards received. Meanwhile, we offer distinctive student bodies like Florista Club, Astronomy Club and Rope-skipping Team. Furthermore, Form 6 Graduation Cup, TYTCians Charity Carnival and Multi-intelligence Competition are the signature programmes of our school. In order to hone our students’ leadership skills and develop their creativity, TYTC has established a comprehensive leadership training programme. The programme also helps to pass the precious experience from one generation to another which further promotes and develops Life-wide Learning Activities effectively and continuously at school.
Others	:	TYTC has been nurturing students to perform outstandingly in academics all along with no lack of straight-A academic achievers. In 2021, TYTCian Chiu Yi-nap was honoured as a super top scorer by attaining 5** in all eight subjects taken in HKDSE. We are also proud to have witnessed the accomplishments of our 10A top-scorer in HKCEE and our 5A elite in HKALE before. As EDB has allowed TYTC to fully resume face-to-face classes (whole day), our students will continue to enjoy life-wide learning through a wide variety of after-school activities, which can be perfectly manifested in our school motto: "Treasure the past with a greatful heart and embrace the future with confident humility".
