School Characteristics

School Management
(1)School's Major Concerns	:	Concern 1: Inspiring and supporting students of different abilities to become strategic learners and excel in multiple academic endeavors in life-long learning Concern 2: Cultivating positive values (perseverance, diligence, integrity and empathy), leadership and life planning skills to foster students’ whole-person development
(2) School Management Organisation	:	School policies are supervised by the Incorporated Management Committee, School Council and Staff Meetings formulate policies which are implemented by various departments. The Principal, Vice Principals, Assistant Principal and various committees/departments always review the effectiveness of daily work and collect opinions from stakeholders that best meet the needs of the school and students.
(3) Incorporated Management Committee / School Management Committee / Management Committee	:	The Incorporated Management Committee is composed of representatives from the sponsoring body, an independent manager, a teacher manager and a parent manager.
(4) School Green Policy	:	The Green Challenge undertakes to heighten students’ awareness of environmental protection and foster an environmentally friendly lifestyle. The organic farm on the rooftop is a major school-wide initiative and a joint effort with different external organizations, our awarded students in different green programs, and our Green ambassadors, to promote green school practices the 3R’s: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. Photovoltaic solar panels are being installed on rooftops to harvest sunlight for electricity.
Learning and Teaching Plan
(1) Whole-school Language Policy	:	Our School focuses a lot on language learning. We have successfully built a good English learning atmosphere. To echo the policy of the HK Government to develop HK as a regional educational hub, our school has an exchange and immersion programme for international students to provide a multi-cultural and global outlook for students. Our school believes that best education can only be achieved when students are taught in a way that produces the best learning effectiveness. Our students' biliterate and trilingual abilities are always our prime concern. At their admission into the school, students will be arranged to learn in languages suitable for them in areas that exhibit higher-level thinking skills, real-world experiences and applications based on their language proficiency, related subject performance and parents' preferences. Nurturing the all-round development of students and producing biliterate and trilingual professionals have long been our missions. Our school has a long tradition of active participation in the HK Schools Speech Festival and has been making every endeavour to explore and stretch our students' potential in English speaking skills. Moreover, our Drama Team participated in inter-school drama competitions and got excellent results.
(2) Learning and Teaching Strategies	:	Learning at our School is not only confined to the classroom. The School Sponsoring Body, Miu Fat Buddhist Monastery, has provided our students with a rare religious environment to develop their mindfulness, self-discipline, and Chinese cultural understanding as we are situated together as a community among our School, the Shrine, the new Meditation Room and the Learning Hub 2.0. Blessed with ample opportunities to participate in overseas trips, exchange programmes, as well as international competitions and different language programs, our young ladies are exposed to diverse cultures and are able to meet the different needs of society to cope with new challenges. In the pursuit of promoting the strategic learning ethos, our self-challenging section in assessment and self-study package in different subject deliver more than just textbook knowledge to our students. We foster a good learning habit awareness through post-assessment’s perseverance class, note-making and data-analysis strategies alongside with student’s learning portfolio. Collaborative learning is another key feature of the curriculum, in common with the self-reflective approach to peer teaching and learning. We provide a variety of language programs, alongside our mainstream curriculum, for students to choose and experience. These programs are catering different countries, interests, life planning styles and career’s concerns among our students. For instance, we have Korean, Japanese, Spanish, and German courses for our students; Applied Buddhism and Ethics and Religious Studies are offered to our senior form students with an emphasis on how Buddhist wisdom can be applied to healing psychological imbalance, and address questions that arise for them via meditation practice.
(3) School-based Curriculum	:	1. Electives: 2X, 3X and 4X. Our school offers 13 elective subjects in senior secondary. 2. Curriculum highlights: In Junior Secondary, we have established the school-based Life and Society, Buddhist Studies and Society, English Literature, Technology and Living and STEM curriculum. We also emphasize "6 years in 1 curriculum" to build close cohesiveness between the curriculum of junior secondary and senior secondary. For example, we offer Business and Financial Literacy in F.3. Students grasp the essence of the content, skills and requirements of the senior secondary curriculum at an earlier stage. We believe this can help them in their subject selection and preparation for further studies.
(4) Major Renewed Emphases in the School Curriculum	:	We take cultivation of the Seven Learning Goals of Secondary Education: A holistic and integrated education based on Buddhist teaching and 12 Priority Values and Attitudes to our students so that they become well-rounded, knowledgeable and compassionate women of excellence. Our students are sensitive towards beauty, thus encompassing music competition for aesthetic enjoyment.
(5) Life Planning Education	:	Our school aims to assist students in understanding themselves in relation to their strengths and weaknesses, personalities and values through various activities, including life planning workshops, career exploration activities, career talks, mock interviews, summer internship programmes, self-portfolio building via big-data and alumni mentoring scheme. We provide students with information on educational and vocational training opportunities so that students may reach an informed and rational decision in their choice of further education and career.

Home-School Co-operation and School Ethos
