| Learning and Teaching Plan |
|
|
| (1) Whole-school Language Policy |
:
| The teaching of Chinese Language, Chinese History and Putonghua is conducted in Putonghua. All other academic subjects except English Language are taught in English or Chinese depending on class. We emphasize language education. In addition to allotting more time to teach the two languages, we also provide Language Bridging Course for those students in need. Furthermore, we nurture students to enhance biliterate and trilingual abilities through Chinese and English intensive reading schemes, choral speaking competitions etc. |
| (2) Learning and Teaching Strategies |
:
| We emphasize a balanced curriculum of moral, intellectual, physical, social and aesthetic education. We also place great importance in the development of students' creativity, critical thinking and problem-solving skills and the nurturing of their personal character, civic awareness, interpersonal skills and sense of responsibilities. In junior forms we have designed school-based curriculum by means of integration and tailoring in order to motivate students to learn. We also implement morning reading scheme, award for reading, project learning scheme, life-wide learning activities and information technology for interactive learning. |
| (3) School-based Curriculum |
:
| 1. Electives: 2X and 3X. We offer the curricula of the local HKDSE in the Direct Subsidy Scheme Section as well as IGCSE and IBDP in the International Section. We believe the provision of multiple curricula enables us to better cater to our diverse needs of students, who encompass a broad array of talents and interests as well as different learning styles. In Secondary 4 - 6, students principally follow the HKDSE programme, with the option of studying the IB Diploma programme in Year 12 and 13. In both Diploma programmes there are key opportunities for students to pursue individual aspirations through a wide choice of elective courses. 2. Curriculum highlights: In junior forms, we have designed school-based curriculum basing on students' abilities in order to meet their needs. |
| (4) Major Renewed Emphases in the School Curriculum |
:
| The Reading Team, I.T. Team, Project Learning Team, Moral and Civic Education Team were established to formulate school-based measures to promote the development of the four key tasks. |
| (5) Life Planning Education |
:
| Our school strongly believes that Career and Life Planning (CLP) education is an important component of secondary schooling. Its aims are to foster students’ self-understanding, widen their scopes about future study and career choices, develop their skills in goals setting and nurture a reflective habit of mind about their future. Through CLP education, students would be equipped with the knowledge, skills and attitude to make wise choices, in accordance with their interests, abilities and orientations, for their future studies and careers. All these enable students to actualize their goals and make contribution to the society eventually. In order to achieve the above aims, we adopt the 'New Power of Growth Programme' in junior forms, which includes seminars, games and workshops, to help students understand more about themselves and stimulate them to think about their pathways in the future. For senior forms, apart from periodical career and further education talks, we provide students with opportunities to visit post-secondary institutions, participate leadership training camp, and 'Alumni Mentorship Programme'. By means of various channels, we are sure that students can grasp the essence for career and life planning. |
| Student Support |

Gifted students are also nominated to join gifted education programmes organized by the Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education and tertiary institutions. |
| (2) Whole School Approach to Integrated Education |
:
| We have always promoted Integrated Education (IE) in accordance with five basic principles, namely Early Identification, Early Intervention, Whole School Approach (WSA), Home-School Co-operation and Cross-Sector Collaboration. In response to the EDB’s enhanced measures on integrated education, the Learning Support Team was established and a teaching assistant specifically employed to cater for students with special needs. Under the coordination of the SENCO, the team continuously assists the Principal and the Vice-Principals to reinforce inclusiveness among students, thus creating a harmonious campus. Academically, our school adopts a flexible approach in making good use of the Learning Support Grant and other resources to provide diverse support to students with individual learning needs. Our team is also concerned with student well-being. We have organized the Joyful Life Education Program. Through the theme of 'Understanding, Respecting, Appreciating, and Exploring Life,' providing comprehensive and tiered support throughout the school to help students cherish life. Our school collaborates with higher education institutions and social welfare organizations to implement supportive mental health activities, committed to enhancing students' awareness and understanding of mental health. We organize Mental Health Days, team-building activities, yoga stress relief classes, social-emotional management workshops, and invite counseling psychologists to provide individual counseling for students, ensuring appropriate emotional health support. Our school has introduced a mood adjustment room called 'Reality Isn't Perfect,' allowing students in need to adjust their emotions and embrace their needs within the space. |

This can encourage students to participate in diversified learning activities and thus develop their abilities in various aspects. |
