(2) School Management Organisation	:	The adoption of school-based management since 1992, along with the establishment of the Incorporated Management Committee (IMC) in 2005, has enabled various stakeholders to participate in the school’s decision-making process, aiming to enhance transparency and accountability in school management.

Each class has a Green Captain who helps promote environmental awareness among classmates. Recycling bins are also placed in every classroom to encourage students to participate in resource recycling effectively. Besides, all traditional incandescent and neon lamps have been replaced with LED light sources, and automatic water-saving taps have been installed, which significantly reduce waste in the long term.
Learning and Teaching Plan
(1) Whole-school Language Policy	:	Our school’s language policy is centred on enhancing students’ English proficiency by cultivating a vibrant and diverse learning environment. In addition to integrating English elements into lessons through extended learning activities, we actively promote a wide range of English-based programmes that encourage students to use the language in authentic contexts, helping them build confidence and communication skills. Starting from this academic year, we have introduced several AI-powered learning platforms that combine interactive exercises, speech recognition, and personalized assessments. These tools provide students with ample opportunities to strengthen their English both inside and outside the classroom, fostering independent learning and continuous improvement as they prepare to meet future challenges.
(2) Learning and Teaching Strategies	:	1. Introducing the Self-regulated Learning Programme to nurture students' self-learning ability and habit. 2. Promoting the E-learning policy and implementing the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) initiative—which allows junior form students to bring their own mobile devices to school for learning activities—to enable flexible, interactive, and engaging lessons. 3. Moderating the curriculum and designing graded exercises to better cater for learner diversity. 4. Integrating Applied Learning Programmes and Other Learning Experiences into the senior form curriculum. 5. Implementing project learning, cross-subject curriculum, field trips, and inquiry-based learning to enrich students' learning experiences both in and beyond the classroom. 6.

Healthy School policy: It is to help students develop healthy lifestyle through various activities, promotion of doing exercise and eating smart, etc. 2.

A team of professionals—including the educational psychologist, social workers, and counsellors—regularly provides assessments, training, and individual sessions for students. Support is tailored to meet students’ needs, ensuring that every learner receives appropriate care and thrives in a diverse and inclusive school environment.
