Learning and Teaching Plan
(1) Whole-school Language Policy	:	All subjects are taught in English except Chinese Language, Chinese History and Putonghua. To improve students' language competence, training in all four skills - listening, speaking, reading and writing is emphasized. Students are also encouraged to participate in various language activities such as writing competitions, public speaking contests, debates and the Hong Kong School Speech Festival, so as to gain more opportunities to practise their language skills. All the morning assemblies held at school are conducted in English. There are also regular sharing sessions and presentations in English and Putonghua by the students in the assemblies.
(2) Learning and Teaching Strategies	:	Enabling QC boys to become self-regulated life-long learners is strategically implemented to promote the development of independent thinking, the spirit of exploration and innovation, creativity, and enhanced life competencies among students through subject-based activities inside and outside classrooms. Through effective questioning and timely feedback, students’ learning progress can be monitored and high-order thinking abilities can be systematically developed. The application of various e-Learning equipment, e-Learning platforms and training workshops can facilitate self-directed learning and build up students’ good learning skills. Moreover, students are encouraged to read extensively across various curricula and contexts to enhance their language proficiency and self-learning ability.
(3) School-based Curriculum	:	1. Electives: 3X and 4X. HKDSE Electives: 3X, students can choose Music or Visual Arts as their 4X, depending on their ability. 2. Curriculum highlights: Cross-curricular projects are arranged for junior forms for the systematic development of students’ generic skills. Striving to develop students' potential and fostering their creativity and high-order thinking skills, our school has developed a school-based gifted education curriculum in Mathematics. Moreover, the junior form Science curriculum has incorporated the 'Creative Science' module, which aims to encourage students to investigate scientific phenomena and apply STEAM education to solve daily life problems.
(4) Major Renewed Emphases in the School Curriculum	:	Our school endeavours to facilitate students to acquire learner autonomy through E-learning, AI and STEAM education. Apart from participating in local and overseas AI and STEAM programmes, the school also encourages students to participate in AI and STEAM activities organized by local universities. Through the organization of seminars, leadership training camps and club activities, students are guided to understand the roles and responsibilities of leaders. In fact, many of our renowned alumni are frequently invited to share with students their experiences as leaders.
(5) Life Planning Education	:	The Career and Life Planning Team implements whole-school career and life planning programmes. Through talks, workshops, visits, mock practices, mentorship programmes, job shadowing and internship programmes, etc. jointly organized with local and overseas universities, local companies, non-government organizations and Queen's College Old Boys' Association, our students are provided with ample opportunities to explore the knowledge, skills and attitudes conducive to career and life planning.
Student Support
(1) Whole School Approach to Catering for Learner Diversity	:	Queen’s College has adopted the three-tier operation mode suggested by the Education Bureau in implementing gifted education. In tier 1, we have used pedagogy that could tap the potential of students in creativity, critical thinking, problem solving or leadership in the regular classroom by providing curriculum enrichment content in class. In tier 2, we have offered pull-out programmes after regular school hours, for instance, QC Mathematics Olympiad training sessions, Chinese / English Debate team training sessions. In tier 3, students are enrolled in local and international competitions and various programmes offered by local universities every year.
(2) Whole School Approach to Integrated Education	:	Our School is committed to developing an inclusive and caring culture through the “Whole School Approach”, providing students who have special educational needs (SEN) with diversified supporting services to enhance their learning efficacy. The Student Support Team consists of the following members: The Principal, Vice Principals, Special Educational Need Coordinator (SENCO), teachers-in-charge of Curriculum Development, Counselling, Careers and Life Planning, Examinations, and teachers trained in special education, school social workers and teaching assistants. Training for teachers on supporting students with SEN is provided by SENCO and Educational Psychologist (EP). The Learning Support Grant and other resources are fully utilized for recruiting teaching assistants, purchasing services such as clinical psychologist support etc. Learning activities, homework / assessment adjustment, referrals, evaluation and study plans are devised for students concerned through cross-discipline collaboration. Peer support is also provided for SEN students for better adaptation to school life. With a view to enhancing home-school co-operation, teachers of the Student Support Team and other teachers responsible always maintain regular contact with parents of SEN students.
(3) Education Support for Non-Chinese Speaking (NCS) Students	:	Our school provides additional support for NCS students to facilitate their learning of Chinese: appointing additional teacher(s)/teaching assistant(s) to support NCS students’ learning of Chinese; arranging intensive Chinese learning and teaching mode(s), e.g. pull-out learning if necessary, split-class/group learning, etc.; developing school-based Chinese Language curriculum and/or adapting learning and teaching materials; and organising activities to create an inclusive learning environment in the school.
(4) Measures to Provide Adaptation for Learning and Assessment	:	In both the first term and the second term, there are one uniform test and one examination, which account for 10% and 90% of the total score for each term respectively. The annual final score is calculated by combining one-third of the Half-yearly Examination total score and two-thirds of the Yearly Exam total score. Coursework grades are also given to reflect primarily the students’ performance in regular quizzes, assignments, and classroom activities.
Home-School Co-operation and School Ethos
(1) Home-School Co-operation	:	Family upbringing and school education have always formed the cornerstone of child development, and hence good communication and correspondence between parents and teachers are essentially important. Established in 1989, the Queen’s College Parents-Teachers’ Association (QCPTA) performs the function of facilitating said co-operation. Since its establishment, the QCPTA has regularly enlisted the help of parent volunteers to organize events such as community service activities, parents’ talks, Teachers’ Day celebrations, dumpling-making workshops, Open Day bazaars, parent-child trips, briefing sessions for new S.1 parents, Parents’ Blood Donation Day, overseas university talks, used book sales and basketball friendly matches. We sincerely express our gratitude towards parents’ active participation and unwavering support. We also give our special thanks to our parent volunteers who made every event a fulfilling one for teachers, students and families. In the coming year, the QCPTA hopes to continue to leverage the support of parents to maximize home-school co-operation, and improve the learning environment and family lives of Queen’s College students.
(2) School Ethos	:	Our school focuses on the whole-person development of the students as well as the five core values, namely Diligence, Brotherhood, Integrity, Responsibility and Pursuit of Excellence, in order to groom students to become future leaders. Diligence reminds our students to be hardworking. Brotherhood indicates the hope that our students treasure their friendship and are willing to help each other. In fact, many graduates participate actively in various school functions to provide support to the students. In recent years, a 'mentoring scheme' has been established, in which alumni of various professions offer work-related learning experiences to the students and provide guidance and advice for their career and life planning. Integrity and Responsibility are values that our students are expected to possess and are reflected in their behaviour. Pursuit of Excellence is the goal of each of our students. They are always eager to improve themselves and strive for the best. All in all, our students are self-disciplined and are ready to uphold the five core values of Queen’s College.
Future Development
(1) School Development Plan	:	2024/25 - 2026/27 School Development Plan 1. To enhance students’ self-efficacy and agility in learning in the ever-changing world. 2. To enhance the holistic development of students and cultivate their growth mindset and a sense of morality.
(2) Teacher Professional Training and Development	:	Our school places great emphasis on the professional development and training of teachers. We actively encourage all teaching staff to pursue further studies to enhance the effectiveness of teaching and learning. Each year, the school sets key focuses for teacher professional training based on its developmental goals and the needs of students. Teachers also proactively participate in courses, workshops, and seminars organized by the Education Bureau and other educational institutions to foster their professional growth. The scope of professional development is diverse, encompassing areas such as self-directed learning, curriculum development, assessment literacy, student development, mental health, and parent education. The school also organizes e-learning seminars to better equip teachers with the skills needed to implement digital teaching and learning practices, thereby improving instructional effectiveness. In addition, in-depth local cultural tours focusing on intangible heritage provide teachers with deeper insights into the transmission and evolution of local traditions. These experiences help educators understand the close developmental ties between the nation and the family. At the same time, such activities offer a relaxed environment for staff to share experiences and strengthen mutual understanding, which contributes to building team consensus and enhancing overall work efficiency.
Life-wide Learning (Including Five Essential Learning Experiences to be Provided through Key Learning Areas, Extra-curricular Activities, Co-curricular Activities, etc.)	:	Extra-curricular activities are an important part of school life at Queen’s College. Through organising and participating in a wide range of activities, our students gain valuable learning experiences that foster independence and resilience. Queen’s College offers a broad array of extra-curricular options, including the Student Council, eight Houses, and 47 clubs and societies. To cultivate strong relationships among students across different year levels, the House system has been in place since the 1950s. Inter-house competitions are held at the annual Athletics Meet, Swimming Gala, and other events. Each House’s performance is recorded, and an Overall Championship is awarded each year. Every club has teacher advisors, while students take on leadership roles such as chairman, vice-chairman and committee members. Our alumni also return at times to assist with activities, helping to pass down traditions and the school’s core values from one generation to the next. Among all the clubs and societies, the Music Society—comprising the A Cappella Team, Band Society, Dance Society, Harmonica Band, Joint School Choir, Male Voice Choir, Melodica Ensemble, Orchestra, Recorder Band, Stage Management Team, String Orchestra, Treble Choir, and Wind Band—and the Sports Union—comprising the Aquatic Club, Athletic Club, Badminton Club, Baseball Club, Basketball Club, Cross Country Club, Football Club, Indoor Rowing, Table-tennis Club, Tennis Club, and Volleyball Club—are two of the largest. The Scouts (Hong Kong 12th Group) and the Astronomers’ Club are among the longest-standing groups in the school. Equipped with an astronomical telescope, the Astronomers’ Club is also one of the most popular among students.
Others	:	The school provides scholarships to students with outstanding performance for paying local university fees. For example, there are scholarships established by the Morrison Fund and the Old Boys. Students with outstanding academic results or exceptional performances in leadership, sports, music, arts and social services are awarded. The school has established a Scholarship Committee to compile a set of objective criteria for awarding scholarships. Our students have consistently excelled in various joint-school competitions and open competitions. For instance, our students have been awarded gold, silver and bronze medals in the International Junior Science Olympiad, International Physics Olympiad and International Mathematical Olympiad, representing Hong Kong to participate in the competitions overseas. In the Odyssey of the Mind, the creativity and teamwork of our students have earned them the chance to represent Hong Kong at the World Finals in the US. To implement the educational goal of "all-round development," Queen's College also emphasizes the development of sports and arts. The school promotes various types of sports activities and encourages students to actively participate in public competitions. Among these, our school's badminton team has achieved outstanding results in inter-school competitions. Even after the Hong Kong Island and Kowloon districts of the Interschool Badminton Competition (Division 1) were merged last year, our team was still able to secure a top position among numerous strong competitors. The Music Department of our school has achieved outstanding results in various competitions. Among them, the Wind Band and String Orchestra have won numerous awards at the LCSD Hong Kong Youth Music Interflows and the Hong Kong Schools Music Festival. The Recorder Band and Recorder Ensemble have also won the championship at the Hong Kong Schools Music Festival multiple times over the past 20 years. Our school's Treble choir and Male Voice choir have received numerous awards in the Hong Kong Inter-School Choral Festival and the Hong Kong Schools Music Festival, including the joint choir of these two groups winning the championship in the Oratorio category. In order to broaden students’ horizons and deepen their understanding of world cultures, our school has organized various study tours and exchange tours. Our students have participated in exchange tours led by teachers to countries such as Australia, Singapore, South Korea, UK and USA. Since 2004, to let students understand the history and the latest development of the mainland, various study tours to mainland cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Nanjing, Qingdao, Xian, Suzhou, Yichang, Chengdu, Guiyang, Guangzhou, Ningxia, Liannan, Qianhai, Zhongshan and even Inner Mongolia have been organized. Participating students have to conduct interviews, do research and collect data for their projects, which are to be presented to the whole school after their tour. Moreover, Beijing 101 Middle School has also been our sister school. Exchange visit to Beijing 101 Middle School every year is arranged so as to build students’ friendships and promote the exchange of knowledge. In the past years, Sports Training Camp in Taipei and Music Tour in Italy were organized to widen students’ horizons and enhance the capabilities of our school teams.
