MOI policy extends to Senior Secondary level, that is, Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry and Physics are taught in English for S.4 to S.6.
(2) Learning and Teaching Strategies	:	To enhance students’ learning experience, the school initiates diversified learning with scientific elements integrated. The STEAM laboratory serves as a ground to encourage students’ creativity and facilitate innovation and technology in the campus as well as adopt in community services. The e-Learning task team is ready to organize, implement, evaluate and promote e-Teaching. We aim at enhancing teaching and learning effectiveness and promoting self-directed learning environment for our students.

Combined with workplace visits, they progress from the career concepts learned in junior secondary to real-world experiential learning. This helps them handle and adapt to the transition from the school environment to the working world. Personalized academic counselling also supports students in reviewing and refining their study plans and goals, enabling them to make informed and responsible choices.
