Learning and Teaching Plan
(1) Whole-school Language Policy	:	We offer both English and Chinese as the medium of instructions. Students will be allocated to study in the respective medium with reference to their previous academic background, personal preference and language competency. For some classes, students from Mainland China and students from ethnic groups will be mixed together in a class, in order to enhance interaction between the two. For Chinese students whose English proficiency is outstanding, they will be offered a choice to use English as the medium of instruction for some subjects while the same for the ethnic minority groups. In addition, given the background of diverse ethnic groups, English, Putonghua and Cantonese have become the languages of communication in students’ daily school life.
(2) Learning and Teaching Strategies	:	Our school curriculum aims at equipping students with essential life-long learning experiences for whole person quality development in the areas of ethics, intellect, physical development, social skills and aesthetics, so as to prepare students to become 'active, responsible, and contributing members of society, the nation and the world'. Helping students to 'learn how to learn' by cultivating positive values, attitudes, and a commitment to life-long learning as well as developing generic skills to acquire and construct knowledge constitutes a major part in the curriculum.
(3) School-based Curriculum	:	1. Electives: 3X. School-based curriculum in different subjects is available with reference to students’ needs and capabilities, including English, Computer & Technology, Integrated Humanities, Arts and Chinese History for Non-Chinese speaking students. 2. Curriculum highlights: Our school curriculum is designed help students to learn how to learn through cultivating positive values, attitudes, and a commitment to life-long learning to develop generic skills to acquire and construct knowledge, which is essential for the whole-person development to cope with challenges of the 21st century. A quality curriculum for the 21st century should therefore set the directions for teaching and learning through a coherent and flexible framework which is adaptable to changes and different needs of students and school.
(4) Major Renewed Emphases in the School Curriculum	:	Strengthening values education (covering cross-curricular domains such as moral education, civic education, national education (including Constitution, Basic Law and national security education), anti-drug education, life education, sex education, media and information literacy education, and education for sustainable development); promoting STREAM education and information technology in education; fostering an entrepreneurial spirit; diversifying life-wide learning experiences (including those for vocational and professional education and training), and enhancing the learning and teaching of Chinese as a second language.
(5) Life Planning Education	:	Our life planning education initiates from realization, commitment and setting objectives. After taking actions, targets and strategies will be fine-tuned, evaluated and feedback will be given. Our strategies include the following: 1. Offer a student-oriented, self-directed learning package which assists students to learn how to establish their goals and plan their future. 2. Guide students to understand themselves and explore the career world through characteristics tests, career workshops, workplace visits, experiential learning and internship. 3. Provide information concerning overseas studies, through peer support, alumni sharing and overseas field trips. 4. Expand multiple pathways of local and overseas studies and encourage all S.6 students to consider multiple study/work pathways after graduation.
