(2) School Management Organisation	:	The School Sponsoring Body has deployed additional resources to employ Assistant Vice-principal, Chinese teacher, English teachers, NET teacher, religious master and social worker in order to provide our students with quality education. In addition, the school uses other fundings to employ additional teachers, assistant teachers and teaching assistants in various subjects.
(3) Incorporated Management Committee / School Management Committee / Management Committee	:	Our School Sponsoring Body comprises members serving at business, insurance, education, social welfare, legal and engineering sectors of Hong Kong.
(4) School Green Policy	:	Participate in the 'Feed-in Tariff (FiT)' program to make good use of the installed renewable energy systems and promote environmental education on campus. Additionally, participate in the energy efficiency monitoring organized by the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department to encourage students to use energy effectively. Recycling bins are set up on campus to help students develop recycling habits and raise environmental awareness.
Learning and Teaching Plan
(1) Whole-school Language Policy	:	There are four classes in each of S.1 to S.3. Some classes adopt English as the medium of instruction, while the other classes adopt both Chinese and English as the medium of instruction. All S.1 and S.2 students use English as the medium of instructions in Science and STEAM in order to enhance students' English proficiency. In our school, the education policy of "biliteracy and trilingualism" has long been strongly emphasized. English split-class teaching is adopted in Secondary 1 to Secondary 6 classes. Chinese and Maths split-class teaching is adopted in S.1 to S.3 classes. Bridging courses are offered for S.3 to S.4 students to help them to adapt to the change of medium of instruction in learning. For senior secondary levels, 4 classes in each of S.4 to S.6 are split into 5 classes in order to enhance teacher-student interaction and language learning.
(2) Learning and Teaching Strategies	:	According to EDB's focus inspection report, our school has nurtured students' good characters and positive learning attitude through both the formal and informal curricula. Moreover, our school has provided students with various activities to encourage them to think from different perspectives, thus building up their positive views on life and values. The report also points out that the goals of our school curriculum are clear, focusing on fostering students' all-round development. The English focus inspection report by the EDB shows that our school has put a large amount of resources, especially human resources, in English Language teaching. Our school principal has been passionate about the key learning area of English Language Education. Our school attaches great importance to students' English Language learning. The School Sponsoring Body has employed an additional English consultant and Native English teachers, and English split-class teaching is implemented in all levels. The passing percentage of Chinese Language and English Language in 2025 Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education Examination were about 99% and 98% which is higher than the average passing percentage of Hong Kong. There were 12 subjects with passing rates higher than 90%. Furthermore, there were 7 subjects with the percentage of Level 4 or above higher than that of Hong Kong day school students. The percentage of students entering the JUPAS bachelor degree programme is higher than the territory-wide level and the value-added results of four core subjects, best five subjects and several elective subjects are higher than the Hong Kong average. Our school has further utilized additional funding for group teaching in some core subjects and most of the elective subjects in Secondary 4, 5 and 6. This has substantially increased the teacher-student ratio and the interaction between teachers and students. More frequent feedbacks during lessons can be achieved so as to improve teaching effectiveness.
(3) School-based Curriculum	:	1. Electives: 2X and 3X. Our school offers 12 elective subjects in senior secondary. Additionally, students can take Applied Learning and Category C Other Languages (such as Japanese and Korean) based on their needs, allowing for individualized course selection. 2. Curriculum highlights: The English department conducts a comprehensive review of English courses at all levels. Group teaching is implemented in junior secondary, along with bridging between junior and senior secondary curricula. The Citizenship and Social Development, Science, and STEAM subjects collaborate during common planning sessions to discuss teaching content and review student learning outcomes. The Chinese department uses group teaching for Form 1 to Form 3 students. The Mathematics department also employs group teaching for Form 1 to Form 3 to accommodate diverse learning needs and enhance self-directed learning abilities. Our school participates in the Quality Education Fund's Electronic Learning School Support Program, receiving funding to provide tablets for students in need to support electronic learning at home.
(4) Major Renewed Emphases in the School Curriculum	:	The school is committed to implementing gifted programs, including Set Theory, to enhance students' observation, expression, and integration skills. Activities include mathematics project classes for Form 1 and after-school enrichment courses. A Latin class is offered to help students better grasp English, science, biology, and medical vocabulary. The school performs well in moral education and civic education. Regular classes on value education are held, covering the cultivation of various values, and a special task force has been established to promote national education and Chinese culture. To align with curriculum reform, the school is keen to prioritize key initiatives such as STEAM, incorporating STEAM into formal classes. In response to new trends in university admissions, the school offers a broader range of courses for students. In addition to the standard Category A elective subjects, the school also provides extracurricular courses in physical education, music, and Other Languages to meet the diverse developmental needs of students.
(5) Life Planning Education	:	Our school has established a Career Guidance and Employment Committee to promote career planning education at all levels. This includes personal counseling sessions conducted by social workers from the YMCA for students from Form 3 to Form 6 across different levels.
Student Support
(1) Whole School Approach to Catering for Learner Diversity	:	In order to expand students' learning experience outside the classroom and help them identify their personal goals in life, the school has arranged different programmes to cater for students' needs, including Experiential Learning Day, Exchange Programmes, Voluntary Service, University Visit, Professional Talk, Workplace Experience Plan, Mentorship Programme and Leadership Training Camp. Through discussions on current social issues, National education is effectively promoted. Students are groomed to establish comprehensive value educations. Students from different backgrounds are therefore effectively catered for. Split classes are practised in English, Chinese and Mathematics lessons from S.1-S.3.
(2) Whole School Approach to Integrated Education	:	Our school adopts a “whole school approach” model to implement integrated education. We establish a learning support team, members include vice-principals, SENCO, SENST, school social workers and the educational psychologist to cater for students with special educational needs. We also arrange teachers to receive integration education training to enhance their professional competence. Our school makes a flexible use of the Learning Support Grant and other school, which includes hiring teaching assistants to provide students with appropriate after-school support and social skill training, and outsourced speech therapy services for students in need. We also cater for students’ learning diversity and improve their learning outcomes through diversified teaching strategies. Our school joins the “Student Mental Health Support Scheme”, and also works closely with school-based educational psychologists to conduct regular student assessments and meetings, and invite parents to participate in individual meetings to design concrete and feasible support programs for students. Our school is committed to building an inclusive culture.
(3) Education Support for Non-Chinese Speaking (NCS) Students	:	Our school provides additional support for NCS students to facilitate their learning of Chinese: providing after-school support programmes in learning 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; organising activities to create an inclusive learning environment in the school; and hiring additional manpower and/or translation/interpretation services to facilitate the communication with parents of NCS students.
(4) Measures to Provide Adaptation for Learning and Assessment	:	Assessment for learning is for the purpose of consolidating learning and enhancing their proactive pursuit of knowledge and spirit of inquiry. Hence, various forms of continuous assessment of a formative nature have been adopted to better reflect and monitor students' learning situation over time.
Home-School Co-operation and School Ethos
(1) Home-School Co-operation	:	School-parent cooperation is highly treasured. The PTA engages in organizing a wide range of voluntary work and actively takes part in major school functions in order to tie in with the objective of the setting up of PTA. Parents highly appreciate school effort in cultivating students' values and multi abilities. A PTA Scholarship was established for students who attained outstanding grades in conduct. Our school has also got the sponsorship from QEF to set up the Parents Resources Centre.
(2) School Ethos	:	Discipline and counseling work are put on equal footing in our school. To assist students to improve their academic results and exercise self-discipline, teachers are devoted to providing help and guidance to students in both pastoral and academic matters. Students are engaged enthusiastically in school affairs and activities and show a sense of belonging to our school. The teachers, students and parents of the school are enthusiastic about community service and practice the school motto of "Thou art the Light of the world".
