Participation in extra-curricular activities or services of applicants and strengths of the applicants (15%).
Orientation Activities and Healthy Life	:	Our school aims to implement positive education to cultivate students' sense of well-being (PERMA) and encourage them to develop their character strengths. The school participates in the Education Bureau's "4Rs Mental Health Charter" and the "Harmonious Campus: Respect, Friendship, and Anti-Bullying" program, with a focus on mental health. We have established teams of Health Ambassadors and Peer Counseling Ambassadors. Every Friday, we organize "Students-Teachers Go for Fun" and "Sports Friday" to emphasize the importance of teacher-student and peer relationships. At the beginning of each academic year, school-wide orientation activities, level assemblies, and house assemblies are held to foster a positive school and class culture, and to set learning goals. These activities include writing reflective journal, autonomy training within the class, cultivating good study habits, and sharing learning achievements. During the summer vacation, a two- to three-day bridging program is arranged for incoming first-year students, covering English and Chinese enrichment, study habits cultivation, knowledge of e-learning platforms, physical fitness training, psychological seminars, and team-building activities. All students participate in the Physical Fitness Award Scheme. Through school-based PSE lessons and inter-disciplinary health education, students are taught the importance of a balanced diet and physical fitness, as well as the harmful effects of smoking, alcohol, and drug use. The school also monitors the nutritional standards of school lunches and the food provided at the tuck shop.

School Characteristics

School Management
(1) School's Major Concerns	:	'Equip Lifelong Skills, Embrace Positive Vibes' 1. Promote active learning to enhance student learning efficacy. 2. Strengthen positive education and continually nurture a culture of appreciation.
(2) School Management Organisation	:	Our school management is guided by its core values and adopts a human-centered approach to achieve educational professionalism and ideals. To ensure educational quality and the school's continuous development, we have established an appraisal system, a self-evaluation mechanism, and a culture of reflection.
(3) Incorporated Management Committee / School Management Committee / Management Committee	:	Apart from the Sponsoring Body Managers, there are Independent Managers, Parent Managers, Alumni Managers and Teacher Managers. They possess various expertise, including university professors, lawyers, accountants, retired vice-principals, and other professionals.
(4) School Green Policy	:	The school has received significant recognition for its environmental policies, which are based on the "5R Principle" of sustainable development. Among its numerous awards are the Gold Award and the Outstanding Performance Award in the "Sustainable Development School Award Scheme." Furthermore, in recent years, the school's students and staff have been honored for their exceptional environmental awareness, receiving the EDB "Outstanding Teaching Award for Moral Education" and the title of "Net Zero Demonstration School" from the UNESCO Hong Kong Association.
Learning and Teaching Plan
(1) Whole-school Language Policy	:	1. In junior forms, English is the MOI for subjects like Science, Mathematics, Geography, and Computer Literacy in some classes, with increased English instruction in others. 2. Secondary 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6 implement grouped English instruction. Typically, four classes per level are divided into five groups for tailored English teaching. In Form 6, five classes are further subdivided into seven groups to provide tailored academic support. 3. Our experienced English teachers have passed the benchmark tests (LPR) and completed all necessary training. 4. English is used for "English Thursday", morning assemblies, ambassadors' activities, speech days, graduation ceremonies, and sports days. An English Day Camp led by native speakers is held in summer, and we offer phonics and speaking programmes for primary schools with the same school sponsoring body. 5. Our school organizes English study tours to Singapore and Australia. Additionally, as active participants in the Caretakers of the Environment International (CEI) conference, we provide students with opportunities to discuss environmental issues with peers in English from around the world.
(2) Learning and Teaching Strategies	:	1. Guided by professional knowledge: By referencing teaching theories, updated curricula, and assessment requirements, the school continuously reflects on and implements effective teaching, planning, and assessment methods. 2. Promoting blended learning: The school enforces a "BYOD" policy across all grades. Along with traditional materials, students and teachers effectively use e-learning platforms. This combination enhances learning efficiency and fosters independent learning habits. 3. Curriculum aligned with modern needs: Beyond subject knowledge, the curriculum develops lifelong learning skills, habits, and attitudes. In junior secondary, two weekly STEAM lessons, along with programming and the use of AI in computer literacy, foster design thinking. Students are also given opportunities to showcase their ideas through demonstrations and competitions.
(3) School-based Curriculum	:	1. Electives: 2X and 3X. 13 elective subjects are offered for students to choose. 2. Curriculum highlights: The school excels in a well-developed curriculum that strengthens students' foundational knowledge across subjects. In junior forms, a regular STEAM program, alongside computer literacy focused on programming, fosters design thinking and problem-solving skills. Interdisciplinary projects promote the integration and application of concepts across subjects. The Integrated Science curriculum emphasizes research skills, with advanced lab equipment, including molecular biology tools, allowing students to conduct experiments for deeper academic engagement.
(4) Major Renewed Emphases in the School Curriculum	:	1. Throughout the year, we hold reading lessons (Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays), inter-form "Reading Salons", "Lunch Reading Circles" and book sharings, reading awards, book crossing, immersive reading programmes and e-reading platform. 2. Our school has extensive experience in the implementation of project learning and cooperative learning, which was well recognized by the education sector in Hong Kong. Cross-curricular learning projects are implemented in Secondary 2 and 3. 3. The school emphasizes positive education and a culture of appreciation. A dual-class teacher system from Secondary One to Four, along with PSE lessons, life planning Education Curriculum, 3-tiers Leadership Training Programmes, and community service, helps students build self-esteem, values, and civic awareness.
(5) Life Planning Education	:	1. The school is a resource school for the "CLAP@JC" project, offering guidance and support to network schools on career planning education. 2. From Secondary 1 to 6, the school provides a variety of career and academic exploration activities, including mock interviews for all Secondary 6 students, individual and group counseling, alumni sharing sessions, internships, workplace visits, and college tours. For junior forms, activities include senior student sharing, subject selection counseling, and self-character-strength assessment workshops. 3. Most senior students are well-prepared before public examination results are released, and in recent years, the majority have successfully enrolled in their desired degree or sub-degree programs.
Student Support
(1) Whole School Approach to Catering for Learner Diversity	:	1. Classes are grouped by ability, and grouped English instruction is implemented in several forms, with adjustments to curriculum and teaching strategies. 2. Homework support, tutorials are held after school to cater for students of different abilities. 3. Opportunities to apply and extend classroom learning are offered through inter-school academic competitions, debates, field trips, and campus activities.
(2) Whole School Approach to Integrated Education	:	The school adopts a "whole-school approach" to promote integrated education, encouraging teachers and other professionals to jointly develop support measures for students with special needs. A Student Support Team has been established, working closely with professionals to hold regular meetings and evaluations. Progress is reported to parents, and measures are reviewed with them to ensure effectiveness. The school has applied for Learning Support Grant and Grant for Supporting Non-Chinese Speaking Students with Special Educational Needs, to provide support such as speech therapy and various group counseling sessions and social skills groups.
(3) Education Support for Non-Chinese Speaking (NCS) Students	:	Our school provides additional support for NCS students to facilitate their learning of 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; and organising activities to create an inclusive learning environment in the school.
(4) Measures to Provide Adaptation for Learning and Assessment	:	1. There are two examinations and two uniform tests in each academic year. 2. Formative assessments (including coursework, lesson performances) are emphasized to cultivate the learning habit of our students. 3. To help and support special educational needs students, homework is adapted according to students' learning needs and homework supporting classes are arranged. The school also offers special arrangements on internal and public examinations.
Home-School Co-operation and School Ethos
(1) Home-School Co-operation	:	The school prioritizes communication with parents to ensure students receive the best possible care for their growth and learning. We have an excellent relationship with parents, who consistently provide very positive feedback. Our dedicated parent volunteer team also actively contributes to the school community.
(2) School Ethos	:	Our school cultivates a virtuous ethos and a willingness to serve, in line with the motto, "Prepare Yourselves That You May Serve". We aim to instill in our students a proactive approach to life and strong moral character, enabling them to achieve a higher sense of integrity by contributing to society.
