Filtered water dispensers will be offered instead.
Learning and Teaching Plan
(1) Whole-school Language Policy	:	In order to better develop students' abilities in English learning, junior secondary students are streamed according to their language abilities. As for senior secondary, Students may option for the EMI stream, so as to better equip themselves for their future studies. Apart from organising different English-speaking functions on the campus, the NET also conducts oral exam practices with senior students and teaches in various classes to increase students' exposure to native English speakers. Moreover, theme-based English curriculum/topics are introduced in S.1-S.3 Integrated Humanities and Integrated Science so as to pave the way for English as the MOI in senior form learning.
(2) Learning and Teaching Strategies	:	"Creativity, Commitment, Communication and Co-operation" are the 4 maxims of our school. We hold that students' learning is always our core business. We motivate students to learn, think and communicate through diverse learning activities and approaches. We also put emphasis on enhancing students' abilities in bi-literacy and tri-lingualism, Mathematics, application of Information Technology, self-expression and self-learning abilities. In addition to the regular subjects, we have introduced Life Education in junior forms, Value Education in Senior form. It aims to instill in students core ethical values and develop students' transferable skills. We emphasize the acquisition of desirable learning habits and to cater for the diverse learning needs of senior form students, subjects of diverse disciplines like Art, Travel and Tourism, Information and Communication Technology, Maker are offered in addition to the traditional subjects.

Curriculum highlights: A school-based curriculum has been devised in Computer Studies for junior forms in order to keep pace with the times. For example, 'Video Production' has long been part of the major curriculum and the content is reviewed and updated every now and then. Also, Life Education has also incorporated the school life scenarios to boost students' interest in the subject, in hopes that students can learn to care for themselves, their community and the country.
