The aim is to enhance students’ creativity and communication and collaborative skills. The design of learning tasks focuses on students’ development of multiple intelligence, critical thinking skills and self-expression.

The tailor-made curriculum suits our students’ learning needs; it enhances the learning efficiency. Language Arts is newly introduced in English Language for S1 students. It allows them to learn in a more lively and interactive way. Besides, we have Integrated Technology, which combines Computer Literacy with Design & Technology. This school-based subject aims at introducing students to the latest advancements in technology and helping them develop creative thinking skills by engaging them in interesting and practical tasks, e.g. artificial intelligence (AI), laser printing, 3D printing and apps programming. In addition, cross-curricular curriculum has been implemented at junior secondary levels. It entails the learning of Mathematics, Science, Visual Arts and Technology. With concerted effort of the teachers concerned, several STEAM packages have been developed to help students consolidate subject knowledge, enhance learning motivation and develop potentials for their future pursuits. Our teachers were also awarded “The 7th Greater Bay Area Excellence Award” by the Hong Kong Emerging Technology Education Association. It is a solid proof of our teachers’ innovative approach to integrating STEAM into the classroom.

Regarding moral and civic education, our school places great emphasis on nurturing students’ character and civic awareness. We offer a Religious Studies subject and utilize life education classes along with other learning experiences to conduct thematic assemblies and cultural exploration activities both locally and abroad. These initiatives help students develop morally, understand national conditions, deepen knowledge of Chinese culture as well as other cultures, and foster a sense of civic responsibility. For example, last year our school arranged study tours for students to Germany, Xinjiang, Wuhan, Liuzhou, Sichuan, Xi’an, and the Greater Bay Area to broaden their knowledge horizons. In terms of information technology education, most subjects in our curriculum incorporate e-learning elements. To promote digital teaching and autonomous learning, the entire campus is equipped with wireless broadband and uses the Google Education platform to enhance learning efficiency.

The school collaborates with various organizations and institutions to conduct workshops, seminars, and visits that help young people discover their strengths, encourage them to seize the present, develop their potential, clarify their ideals and goals, and establish a clear concept of career planning. Additionally, senior secondary students take part in career interest assessments and post-secondary consultation programs to better understand the preparations needed for further studies or employment and to affirm their own abilities. Career planning ambassadors are also selected from each class from Secondary 3 to Secondary 6 to provide more information and career planning activities among classmates, allowing students to explore different industries according to their interests and needs and deepen their understanding of the industries or courses they are interested in.
