(1) Whole-school Language Policy	:	It is our policy to promote bi-literacy and tri-lingualism and adopt Chinese as the main medium of instruction. Some of the junior subjects use English as the medium of instruction according to students' learning ability in different classes.

A variety of interactive English activities, such as English announcements broadcast in morning assembly, "English Friday", "English Day", English Song Competition and English Choral Speaking Competition are organised to increase students’ exposure to English. In junior levels, Putonghua lessons are offered to enhance their communication skills.

In order to foster the reading habit of students, assembly reading sessions, supervised by class teachers are arranged.
