Learning and Teaching Plan
(1) Whole-school Language Policy	:	Our school fosters an English learning environment by organizing Western festival celebrations, English drama and debate training, and overseas exchange programs to London, Scotland, and Singapore. This helps students transition smoothly between junior and senior secondary curricula. The native English teacher (NET) conducts enrichment classes in the junior forms and oral classes in F.4 and F.5 to help students improve their speaking and listening skills. A wide variety of lunchtime English-learning activities are organized by the NET to arouse students’ interest in learning English. To promote self-directed learning, the school has designed a school-based online English platform where students have access to the English vocabulary items they have acquired in various subjects and their correct pronunciation. The school has also created an atmosphere conducive to learning English. For example, English is used in morning assemblies, and English videos or TV programs are shown on TVs on the school campus during lunch time. Moreover, a time slot in the morning is allotted to reading English materials. Furthermore, the “Job-Hunting Experience” helps students acquire essential job skills like interviewing and resume writing. Our teachers have been presented with the Chief Executive’s Award for Teaching Excellence in recognition of outstanding performance in English language teaching and Language across the Curriculum (LAC). Our school has adopted a “whole-school approach” to implementing LAC. Students understand the importance of learning English across different subjects through cross-curricular writing and LAC class drama presentation. A school-based LAC vocabulary logbook has been designed to help students acquire vocabulary and phrases from various subjects in a more systematic way. There are split classes for Chinese, English and Mathematics in order to enhance teaching and learning effectiveness. Students are grouped according to their abilities.
(2) Learning and Teaching Strategies	:	The school focuses on the learning of Chinese, English and Mathematics among junior form students since language ability is the foundation of learning. The school offers varied curricula which help broaden students’ horizons. On top of that, junior form students are required to take part in various extracurricular activities and cross-curricular projects. “LAC Lesson” and “Reading across the Curriculum (RAC) Lesson” are introduced in the F.4 and F.5 curriculum with a view to raising students’ interest and abilities to read. There are both Chinese and English extensive reading programmes. The Parent-Teacher Association has launched the Reading Award Scheme in conjunction with the library to promote reading. The school library has worked with other departments to encourage students to read more often and hone their reading skills. In addition, our teachers conduct lesson study to help students overcome learning challenges. By integrating e-learning, collaborative learning, and self-directed learning strategies, student engagement is enhanced. This year, the school has participated in the “Quality School Improvement Project” led by The Chinese University of Hong Kong, as well as the Education Bureau’s school-based support services (Chinese Language), to further strengthen teaching effectiveness.

In addition, we provide students with the information and skills they need to further their studies in China and other countries by organizing seminars and interview workshops. We also provide individual counseling and interview workshops for Form 6 students, and arrange for them to visit universities on open days so that students can grasp the latest information about further studies and employment. We strive to provide students with the opportunity to receive quality university education. Nearly 100% of our F.6 graduates have been admitted to different universities and tertiary institutions through the Joint University Programs Admissions System (JUPAS).
Student Support
(1) Whole School Approach to Catering for Learner Diversity	:	Our school attaches great importance to cultivating students' interest in learning English and is committed to creating a rich and enjoyable environment for learning English through varied English activities, such as playing English songs, English dramas and debates. These activities enrich students' learning experience and enhance their ability to use English. In addition, teachers use a variety of teaching strategies to cater to learner diversity as far as their characteristics and abilities are concerned. For example, Chinese, English, and mathematics are taught in small classes, and after-school homework tutorial instruction is provided. Elite classes and enrichment courses are offered to support students' learning needs so that students with different abilities can be taken care of. In addition, our school provides students with flexible subject combinations and choices according to students' abilities and interests, such as Physical Education, Visual Arts, Tourism and Hospitality Studies, etc., enabling students to realize their full potential.
(2) Whole School Approach to Integrated Education	:	The Student Support Team provides support to students with special educational needs. Regular meetings are held in which teachers discuss students' learning and behavioral performance and devise appropriate plans to support SEN students.

Future Development
(1) School Development Plan	:	Our school has participated in the "Quality School Improvement Program" of the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Through lesson preparation, lesson observation, lesson discussion, curriculum review and planning, we promote and implement teaching strategies that promote students' self-directed learning and cater for learner diversity. A "smart library" has been built to provide students with better reading resources, and promote students' book sharing and teachers' professional sharing. Our aim is to enhance the school's reading atmosphere, cultivate students' reading habits, and facilitate students' self-directed and lifelong learning. Our school emphasizes the holistic development of students. Through different activities, we provide students with comprehensive learning experiences. We aim to promote students' whole-person development, and create a caring school and a positive learning atmosphere. Our school has made effective use of the HK$250,000 grant from the Education Bureau to introduce Japanese, Korean, and German language courses at the junior secondary level. Additionally, we have utilized a HK$2 million grant from the government and the school sponsoring body to promote the use of artificial intelligence in education, enhance STEAM learning, and support self-directed learning initiatives. We also aim to enhance students’ national identity and patriotism. Through school-wide participation and cross-disciplinary collaboration, students will have more opportunities to learn about Chinese culture outside of class. This helps to cultivate their interest in and deepen their understanding of Chinese culture, and strengthen students' sense of belonging to our country.
(2) Teacher Professional Training and Development	:	The school values teachers’ personal and professional development. With the overarching goal of achieving school sustainable development, our school has established a “mentorship programme” to nurture mutual care between teachers and encourage more experienced teachers to aid in the development of new teachers. Our school has partaken in the “Quality School Improvement Project” conducted by the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Combining with the school’s development of “e-learning” and “lesson study,” the school aims to improve teachers’ teaching and assessment strategies that cater for learning diversity and promote teachers’ professional growth through lesson co-planning, class observation and discussion. Our teachers have attended various seminars, lectures, and training courses conducted by the Education Bureau, universities, and other organizations. Teachers who are required to use English as the medium of instruction have all undergone relevant English language training. In addition, our school has established an effective cross-curricular English-learning approach and tailored relevant learning materials. It was awarded “The Chief Executive’s Award for Teaching Excellence” by the Education Bureau in recognition of our teachers’ efforts and achievements. Our school has been awarded the "Tung Wah Group of Hospitals Teaching Excellence Award" for five consecutive years, including "English Language Education," "Science Education," "Chinese Language Education," “Student Discipline and Guidance” and "Values Education". This reflects our outstanding academic performance and efforts in fostering students’ growth.
Life-wide Learning (Including Five Essential Learning Experiences to be Provided through Key Learning Areas, Extra-curricular Activities, Co-curricular Activities, etc.)	:	A wide variety of extracurricular activities have been organized by class committees, clubs, the four houses and the Student Association. Clubs fall into 5 categories: social service, moral and civic education, job-related experience, arts and aesthetic development, and sports development. The Student Association is responsible for organizing most school activities, which provides a good opportunity for students to develop their leadership skills.
Others	:	The Tung Wah Group of Hospitals offers various scholarships to students in recognition of their outstanding performance in different aspects. Scholarships will be awarded to students based on such criteria as students’ academic results, extracurricular activities, moral character and financial needs. Our school has also helped students to apply for scholarships offered by external organisations with a view to providing students with the financial assistance they need to reach their full potential. For example, two Form 6 graduates from our school in 2025, Mr. Chan Ho Yin and Mr. Yeung Yin Yuk, were awarded the Concord Fortune Ming Tak Scholarship, receiving a total of HK$240,000. They are currently pursuing Biomedical Engineering at The University of Hong Kong and Enrichment Stream in Theoretical Physics at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, respectively. In 2024, Mr. Mo Chi Chung received a scholarship and is now studying for the Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery at The Chinese University of Hong Kong. Students have actively participated in various competitions and achieved outstanding results. Since 2020, our students have taken part in the annual International Genetically Engineered Machine (iGEM) competition, a synthetic biology competition originally founded by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In 2020, they stood out among more than 200 global teams and were selected as one of the top 12 most promising teams, receiving approximately HK$40,000 in research funding. In both 2023 and 2024, our students travelled to Paris to compete, and for two consecutive years, they excelled among over 400 teams from 66 countries, winning the highest honor—the Gold Medal. They also set new records for Hong Kong secondary schools and ranked among the top five high school teams globally in two categories. These achievements are truly encouraging. Ms. Li Tsz-yee from our school formed a joint-school team and participated in the Geneva Invention Exhibition 2025 – Hong Kong Regional Selection. Li Tsz-yee stood out and was selected to represent Hong Kong at the Geneva Invention Exhibition in April 2025. The track and field team has achieved brilliant results in the Kwai Tsing District competitions. Since 2016/17, they have consistently secured top-three positions in both the boys' and girls' team categories, clinching the overall boys' team championship six times and the overall girls' team championship four times. The girls' basketball team has also been a top-three contender for three consecutive years. The boys' team secured second place overall. The junior football team has been the runner-up in the inter-school competition for two consecutive years. In addition, our school won 3rd and 4th place in the 2025 Asian Inter-School Hip-Hop Dance Competition (Asian Grand Finals).
