School Characteristics

School Management
(1)School's Major Concerns	:	1. Nurturing noble character, while promoting Chinese culture and establishing a healthy lifestyle. 2. Deepening self-directed learning, while boosting reading literacy and enhancing efficacy in learning and teaching.
(2) School Management Organisation	:	The school operates with a school-based management system. The school will take parents', teachers' and students' opinions into consideration in the process of policy-making and the implementation as such. Further discussions among the executive committee members lead to final decision-making, implementation and review of school policies. The overall process is open, fair and closely supervised by the IMC.

Through adopting a clear policy on environmental protection and encouraging students to take part in different activities, we proactively promote the notion of sustainable development and carry out related programmes accordingly. The policy includes Environmental Protection Leadership Nurturing Programme, ‘Go Green’ Programme (setting up an area for gardening, a green roof and the Reptile Corner) and Promotion of Environmental Protection (formulation of recycling and energy-saving policies, implementing environmental education programmes, holding workshops, and field trips.) We encourage our students to take the initiatives to protect the environment and provide them with a wide range of activities to carry out our mission of creating a green campus.
Learning and Teaching Plan
(1) Whole-school Language Policy	:	We put great emphasis on our biliterate and trilingual education. We attach equal importance to mother-tongue learning and students' competence in English and Putonghua. In order to improve students' English competence, selected modules in subjects such as Mathematics, Science, History, and Geography are taught in English in designated junior-form classes. English learning materials are incorporated in different subjects to create a rich English learning environment for students. We foster a biliterate and trilingual learning environment through regular activities such as English and Putonghua morning assemblies, English Reading Week, and participation in the Hong Kong Schools Speech Festival and the Hong Kong School Drama Festival.
(2) Learning and Teaching Strategies	:	In accordance with the school ethos - "I seek, I act", we aim to nurture our students' attitude for active learning and equip them with the ability to construct knowledge for themselves as well as to act out the ethos. To promote self-directed learning, we put emphasis on pre-lesson preparation and develop students’ note-taking skills. To cater for students’ diverse learning needs, when joining our school, students are streamed according to their abilities in all forms. We offer diversified learning support programmes by introducing small class teaching, providing interactive activities and adopting pedagogical differentiation. Professional development is a key area which our school focuses on. To elevate teaching efficacy and encourage sharing of teaching ideas, peer lesson observations and collaborative lesson preparation are conducted regularly.
(3) School-based Curriculum	:	1. Electives: 2X and 3X. There are 12 electives and Mathematics - Extended Part for senior secondary students to choose from. 2. Curriculum highlights: Apart from elective subjects, our school offers Life Education Curriculum (Religious Studies, Life and Career Education) and School-based OLE Curriculum (Music and Moving Image, A Vision of New Media, Python Programming, Personal Financial Management) in senior forms to enrich students' learning experiences and promote all-round development. Subject-based adjustment and fine-tuning of curriculum would be done according to students' abilities and interests as well as introducing various cross- curricular learning activities. For example, STEAM elements and activities are incorporated in junior forms subjects like Mathematics, Science, and Computer Literacy to cultivate students' inquiry thinking and develop their problem-solving skills. For languages, we offer enhancement courses, writing courses for elite class and English drama course to polish students' language.

In addition, we advocate e-reading, and have set up an e-library to encourage online self-directed learning and nurture students' ability in language learning and self-directed learning. STEAM Education: We aim to create an engaging learning environment by equipping different facilities like STEAM room, D&T room, MMLC and Biotech activity room. Moreover, through cross-curricular collaboration, we incorporate STEAM cross-curricular learning activities into Mathematics, Science, and Computer Literacy so as to develop students' creativity, inquiry thinking, and problem-solving skills. We also encourage our students to participate in various kinds of science and technology competitions. Over the years, they have represented Hong Kong to participate in international, national, and local competitions, achieving remarkable accomplishments. Values, Moral, Positive, and Civic Education: Not only does our school put emphasis on all-round education and a whole-person development, but also offers Life Education in order to instil proper moral values and a positive attitude in senior form students. Besides, elements of positive, moral and civic education are embedded in the curricula of different subjects. Furthermore, we nurture our students with an affection for the country and cultivate their sense of national identity by organising related activities that help students understand the country properly. We encourage our students to offer their services to the school Volunteer Team and develop a sense of social harmony, care and responsibility. Interactive Learning through IT: Our teachers utilise interactive online teaching platforms and Apps to interact with students and arouse their interest in learning. To encourage students to fully utilise the Internet for learning, we have compiled a wealth of online resources to facilitate students' self-directed learning. Our teachers also provide "Flipped Classroom" videos to facilitate learning outside the classroom to further enhance learning effectiveness.
(5) Life Planning Education	:	We put great emphasis on our students' career and life planning education. Starting from their junior secondary forms, we help students understand their aptitude and interests through our school-based curriculum, talks, and job tasting programmes, and thereby make informed elective subject choices for their senior secondary studies and programme choices for tertiary education.
