Stepping Out of the Classroom and into the Real World: We arrange for students to step out of the classroom and experience diverse learning methods. For example, we built a pool on campus for students to learn canoeing during PE classes. We also take students beyond Hong Kong to broaden their horizons. In last school year, we took students to Zhongshan, Shanxi, Shanghai, and even Japan and England to learn about different cultures and technological advancements.

Student Support
(1) Whole School Approach to Catering for Learner Diversity	:	1. Our school implements the "Award Scheme", which motivates students to strive for excellence through appropriate and timely awards. In addition to commending students with outstanding academic achievements and conduct, this scheme also encourages students to set goals based on their personal aptitude, and ability in different aspects. 2. We endeavour to take a huge step forward in web-learning by setting up a Google Classroom for each subject in every class. Learning materials and assignments are continuously uploaded onto the platform, creating a rich learning database for our students to learn at their own pace. 3.

Our school employs a 3-tiered support model to help students integrate into school life and develop their multiple intelligences. This model addresses students' individual growth needs, enabling those with diverse aspirations and abilities to access a variety of pathways. We design differentiated lesson plans and tiered worksheets, ensuring high-quality teaching that promotes effective learning for all students. We also provide after-school support for students with SEN and develop personalized learning plans and guidance programs for them, with regular reviews. 3. We effectively utilize Learning Support Funding to hire a multidisciplinary team to provide appropriate support for SEN students. This support includes: Outsourcing speech therapy, reading and writing skills training, social skills training, focus and attention training, interest-based group activities. 4. Many of our SEN students have achieved recognition outside of school for their accomplishments in areas such as English drama, sports, technology, community service, and leadership. They serve as role models for others, fostering an appreciation for each other's strengths and promoting mutual respect.

Home-School Co-operation and School Ethos

S.1 student-parent orientation is organized to introduce our school to parents. 3. A wide range of parent education activities are organized to inform parents about the recent education trends. 4. Through the parent-teacher annual meetings, parents can learn more about students’ performance and learning progress, which facilitates home-school operation. 5. Parents’ Day and Academic Achievement Ceremony are held right after the Half-yearly Examination so that parents can discuss students’ performance with their class teachers. For those who achieved remarkably, their parents will be invited to attend the ceremony to show support and encouragement. 6.

By inviting parents to join our school events such as the Swimming Gala, Athletic Meets, Annual Prizegiving Ceremony and Open Day, parents can have a deeper understanding about the school.

Future Development
(1) School Development Plan	:	The two major concerns of the School Development Plan for 2024-2027 are: Major Concern 1: Comprehensive Enhancement of Student Learning Effectiveness One of our major concerns in 2024-2027 is enhancing students’ learning effectiveness. We aim to enhance their learning effectiveness in five major ways: 1. Teach students effective note-taking methods to enhance their learning effectiveness. 2. Utilize e-learning platforms effectively, encourage students to engage in self-directed learning, and enhance their self-study abilities. 3. Establish a sharing platform to allow students to exchange their learning experiences and insights, thus boosting their learning confidence. 4. Showcase students' outstanding work and promote reading in the school campus to cultivate an academic atmosphere. 5. Develop a school-based classroom framework, optimize the school-based curriculum and teaching methods, and strengthen professional exchange among teachers. Major Concern 2: “Enhancing self-confidence, broadening perspectives” In order to enhance students' self-confidence and broaden their horizons, the school will implement a 3-year development plan with the theme "Enhancing self-confidence, broadening perspectives" starting from 2024. The key focuses of the plan are: 1. Understanding "Transferable skills" and developing potentials: Through a variety of activities, students have the opportunity to fully understand themselves, learn to appreciate and develop their personal abilities and strengths in the long run. 2. Understanding oneself and daring to try: By participating in different activities, competitions, leadership and talent training programs, students can expand their learning experiences and perspectives, thereby enhancing their self-confidence and sense of self-efficacy. This will enable them to transform their achievements and experiences into a courageous and proactive attitude, further increasing their enthusiasm for learning and participation. 3. Organizing diverse activities, broadening horizons, and developing national and global perspectives: Through the life-planning curriculum, the school will strengthen students' understanding and grasp of career education.
(2) Teacher Professional Training and Development	:	By fostering teachers' professional development, promoting cross-curricular collaboration, engaging in educational research activities, and sharing teaching experiences with the community, we aim to enhance teachers' professional knowledge, build a high-quality teaching team, and ultimately improve the quality of teaching and learning. Regular professional development courses are assigned to teachers to enhance the professional level of the teaching team.
Life-wide Learning (Including Five Essential Learning Experiences to be Provided through Key Learning Areas, Extra-curricular Activities, Co-curricular Activities, etc.)	:	1. Our school allocates resources to provide comprehensive learning experiences. We offer programs such as homework enrichment classes, "One Student, One Service" initiatives, and cross-curricular learning activities to broaden students' horizons and provide diverse opportunities for growth. 2. We view extracurricular activities as platforms for experiential learning, placing students at the heart of the educational experience. Through hands-on learning, students take the lead in their learning journey outside traditional classroom settings. Activities such as chess, photography, magic, hydroponics, volunteer service, 3D and visual design, fencing club, etc., equip students with essential soft skills for future careers, foster positive values and attitudes, and enhance their interest in learning through engaging content, ultimately achieving the goal of holistic development. 3. Our school has dedicated OLE for S.4-5 students. These experiences encompass a range of areas including artistic creation, music development, Chinese traditional arts and career planning. We have organized courses such as electronic music, special effects makeup, seal carving and Chinese shadow puppetry creation. Additionally, all students have participated in activities like sand painting performances, Chinese traditional art performances, themed musical productions, Turkish cultural lectures, and mosaic creation workshops. Furthermore, we have organized visits to career fairs, workshops, and talks by professionals, significantly enriching students' learning experiences and enhancing their artistic appreciation and career planning abilities. This academic year, we have introduced new courses on AI-generated creation and career guidance, aiming to broaden students' diverse perspectives, promote holistic development.
Others	:	Scholarship: Subject Prizes, Extra-curricular Activities and Service Awards, Scholarship of Parent-Teacher Association, Alumni Association Scholarship, "Veritatem Facimus" Scholarship. Exchange Programs: Exchange programs to the Mainland, English-speaking countries are arranged with reference to students' interests and abilities to expand their horizons.

Remarks	:	Our school provides a variety of learning activities to support NAC students' integration into local school life and their understanding of Hong Kong's cultural. In addition to after-school enrichment classes in Cantonese and English, our school also provides simplified Chinese notes and small-class teaching in English to help students improve their Chinese and English learning skills, enhance their self-confidence, and actively participate in campus life. Group counseling activities help teachers and students understand each other and teach students how to accept and get along with others.
