In junior forms, not more than 25% of the lesson time is allocated to English extended learning activities. Our students can build up their vocabulary and enhance their fluency in English through a school-based curriculum. For assessment, students can apply what they have learnt to answer questions in English. Our strategy is to help our students develop a solid English foundation to cope with their studies in senior forms. We offer small class teaching in both Chinese and English languages as well as Mathematics to cater for students’ diverse learning needs. Reading Award Schemes, Speech Festival and related activities help to create a language rich environment and we have developed a 2-year school-based curriculum in Putonghua in order to promote “bi-literacy and tri-lingualism” in our school.
