Learning and Teaching Plan
(1) Whole-school Language Policy	:	To enhance students' language proficiency and interest in both Chinese and English language, our school has adopted different and diversified strategies to improve learning effectiveness and cultivate their passion for languages. Small class sizes and groupings have been adopted to increase interaction between students and teachers. After-school enhancement classes have also been arranged to assist struggling students and to give exceptional students an opportunity to expand their knowledge. In addition, our school has hired several native English speakers to organize diverse English learning activities, creating a positive English learning environment and increasing opportunities for students to use English.
(2) Learning and Teaching Strategies	:	The formal curriculum balances students' academic and moral development, equipping them to meet future challenges and promoting students' whole-person development. The junior form curriculum offers core and extended English courses to enhance students' English skills. The core subjects in the senior forms are divided into foundation and extended levels, while the elective subjects offer remedial and enhancement programmes. Our curriculum is differentiated to cater for the individual needs and abilities of all students. We also attach great importance to the development of students' morality. Two class teacher periods are arranged every day, allowing teachers ample time to interact with students, promote teacher-student relationships, and help students build confidence, develop perseverance and good study habits. Additionally, we hold a weekly assembly covering a wide range of activities such as academic lectures, field trips, music, drama, sports, community service, and career planning activities to help students explore different experiences and establish positive values for their future.

Also, we provide individualized and group guidance services to help students to make informed choices on their educational pathways and career goals.
Student Support
(1) Whole School Approach to Catering for Learner Diversity	:	In order to enhance the care of junior form students, the school has adopted small class teaching in Chinese Language, English Language and Mathematics. In addition, teachers will adjust teaching progress and strategies to meet different learning needs to enhance learning and teaching effectiveness. The school has launched a mentorship program where senior form students guide junior form students in overcoming academic challenges. After-school lessons for senior form are arranged to boost students' academic performance. Enrichment classes for S.4 and S.5 students are provided in the summer holiday to better prepare students for the HKDSE. A special summer learning programme is also designed to help students who do not meet promotion requirements.

The Education Administration committee, Formal Curriculum committee, Pastoral Care group and Careers and life planning education group work closely to formulate comprehensive strategies, providing thorough support and timely assessments for students in need of help. Apart from regular lessons, numerous extra-curricular activities and courses for Personal, Social & Humanities Education are provided to develop the full potential of students with special educational needs. In addition, special examination arrangements, speech therapy, professional assessments from educational psychologists, and workshops on social skills and self-management skills are rendered. Moreover, career guidance and life planning programmes are provided to students with different types of special educational needs so as to offer extensive and all-encompassing assistance to them. Our school has used the Learning Support Grant to hire extra teachers, counsellors and teaching assistants to make sure that students with special needs are well-supported.
(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.; and organising activities to create an inclusive learning environment in the school. We have carefully designed the Chinese language curriculum for non-Chinese speaking students throughout the year, pulling students out of the regular classroom for small-group instruction to better cater for learner diversity.
(4) Measures to Provide Adaptation for Learning and Assessment	:	Appropriate formative and summative assessment strategies are adopted to monitor student performance and progress.

Social Services In order to encourage students to take the initiative to care for the community and become responsible citizens, the school organizes various activities every year for S3 to S6 students. These activities include flag selling, visits to nursing homes, special schools, sheltered workshops and the elderly living alone. Through social services, students can get in touch with people in need so that they may become grateful and cherish what they have.

Junior form students are encouraged to explore the cultural and ecological development of Hong Kong, such as the Ping Shan Heritage Trail, Hoi Ha Wan, Mai Po and Deep Bay. Senior form students regularly visit tertiary institutions, vocational training centres and government departments to have a clear career path.

Our students also attained brilliant results in various individual and team inter-school competitions, such as the “SOW Inspiring” Book Gifting Competition, the 41st Wuhan International Chu Cai Writing Competition, Hong Kong Schools Music and Speech Festival. The school promotes various types of sports activities, establishing and developing emerging sports and school teams, while encouraging students to participate in public competitions.

Participating students have to conduct interviews, do research and collect data for their projects, which are presented to the whole school after their tours. Moreover, our school has formed sister-school relationships with 5 schools in Mainland. Exchange visits to sister schools are arranged to foster friendships and promote an exchange of knowledge among students. The school provides scholarships every year to outstanding students to encourage them to strive for excellence, such as the scholarships donated by the alumni of the Queen Elizabeth School Old Students' Association, the founding principal Ms. Mak Chen Wen Ning, Zonta Z Club, Ms Keung Yuen Kwan, Mr. Chan Sung Tai, King's Fund and the Parent-Teacher Association.
