@TERM0@@, located in Wong Tai Sin District, adheres to the mission of running a Catholic school, upholds the five core values ​​of "truth", "righteousness", "charity", "life" and "family", and is committed to creating a caring learning environment for students. The school attaches great importance to positive life education, implements the spirit of the school motto of "hope" and "rescue", cultivates students' self-restraint, self-love and mutual love, and inspires their all-round development. Principal Ho Ka Yan Actively build a high-quality teaching team to provide quality education and cultivate students' good learning motivation and habits. The school starts from school-based curriculum, diverse activities, positive education and other areas to help students demonstrate their comprehensive academic potential and create a successful and enjoyable learning experience for them.

Promote appropriate educational strategies based on students’ learning needs

Principal Ho Ka Yan I have noticed that male students generally learn more slowly in primary school, and they also understand their shortcomings in communication. She said frankly: "If we go to middle school, we will not be able to understand their characteristics, and they will only lack self-confidence." As a boys' school, the school is able to implement appropriate education programs based on the needs of male students, matching their personality traits and learning progress. To this end, the school implements the spirit of "hope" and "rescue" and launches service learning. Through the service process, male students are not only taught communication skills, but also learn to consider the feelings of others and understand how to get along with others. "What's more important is that through service learning, we can cultivate students' empathy and the ability to think comprehensively, so as to achieve the spirit of the school motto "Hope for Rescue" which refers to "embracing salvation with hope; nurturing students and rescuing others", and helping them become useful, down-to-earth people who know how to take care of others in the future workplace."

Break through inherent impressions and diversify learning subjects

Principal Ho Ka YanI understand that the outside world generally holds stereotypes about male and female students’ studies, but the reality is not as limiting as the outside world thinks. Principal Ho Ka Yan, who once attended a girls' school, believes that male and female students should not be bound by the stereotypes of science and liberal arts, but should develop in both directions. Therefore, the school actively promotes diversified subjects such as physical education, visual arts, health management and social care to provide students with basic knowledge and skills for their future development. In addition, in terms of career planning, the school invites former students to return to school every year to introduce different industries, so that students can understand the work characteristics required by various industries and have a clear development direction and ideal goals in their future life.

Strengthen student connections and create development platforms

In addition to providing students with academic support, schools must also understand their needs in other areas in order to help them grow up healthily and happily. Therefore, the school has established a student union to serve as a communication bridge between the school and students. It understands students’ opinions from the perspective of their peers, thereby strengthening the connection between students and the school, allowing the school to know the most appropriate needs of their classmates, and then provide them with appropriate support and assistance to take care of the students’ all-round development.

In addition, the school also gives the student union the opportunity to try to organize on-campus activities, creating an ideal platform to showcase their talents. For student union officers, in the process of coordinating activities, they can gain experience and apply what they have learned in actual situations, train communication skills, and learn to work together from scratch to complete ideas in a short time and jointly formulate the most appropriate activity plan, thereby cultivating team spirit and leadership skills. When they enter the society one day, they will have greater advantages in time management and resistance to pressure. For participants, through activities, students can understand the common interests among their peers, expand their social circle, and have the opportunity to develop their potential. For example, the school's traditional Christmas party singing competition allows students who are good at singing to show off their talents; the Year of the Dragon Cup held earlier to celebrate the New Year allows students who are good at sports and love football to display their potential and gain pleasant campus memories.

Flexible application of innovation and technology knowledge, school team performed well in competitions

Technology and innovation occupy an important position in today's society, driving progress and development in different fields. The school also keeps pace with the times and is committed to developing information technology education and STEM education (science, technology, engineering and mathematics). Each subject has relevant development plans to best prepare students for future learning and development. The school attaches great importance to students' practice of knowledge and encourages them to "do it by hand" to achieve the effect of applying what they have learned. For example, organizing an underwater robot school team requires students to use STEM knowledge to build underwater robots. Students begin to conceive, program, assemble, and build the robot step by step. All procedures are performed by classmates themselves, giving students a sense of accomplishment and improving their self-confidence.

Principal Ho Ka Yan pointed out: "The members of the school team are very ingenious and pay attention to every detail when designing the underwater robot. The parts they use are all waterproof and protected by water pipes to achieve double protection." The underwater robot team actively participated in different competitions, practiced and applied what they learned, and won many awards. For example, the runner-up in the "MATE Underwater Robot Competition" requires students to use an underwater robot to perform salvage work during the competition. The robot is equipped with a magnet. Students need to control the robot and cooperate with the camera on the stand to accurately salvage the magnet. By participating in innovation and technology competitions, students can learn how to apply design thinking to solve problems and develop innovative thinking and problem-solving abilities.

Trial work study plan to improve communication skills

In addition to paying attention to students' academic performance, the school also pays attention to their learning experience. In order to provide students with opportunities to practice their vocational skills and understand their careers, the school has specially designed the "Work Trial Study Program" to cooperate with companies, organizations or communities to arrange for students to have short-term internships or work experience in specific industries or organizations. Principal Ho Ka Yan pointed out: "The school's arrangement for students to work outside is also an important learning experience. We should not regard work as the only goal of making money, but in the process of work experience, we should broaden our horizons, enhance our insight and enthusiasm, actively observe the knowledge and skills required by various industries, and understand the match between personal abilities and interests and the industry." The program provides students with opportunities to practice their knowledge and skills, and deepen their understanding of what they have learned by applying knowledge in actual work environments. At the same time, students can learn about different industries, which will help them make more informed decisions when choosing a career direction, as well as expand their career network by establishing connections and cooperation with professionals, and gain valuable professional advice and opportunities.

Sports promote communication and take care of physical and mental development

As the epidemic recedes and society has entered a new normal after returning to normal, students still face various problems when classes resume, such as life or mental pressure. "The epidemic has brought great changes and pressure to students' lives and studies, and many students may face adaptation difficulties and emotional distress. The school is committed to providing students with the most comprehensive and appropriate support and counseling from different aspects to cater for their different needs for learning and growth." Principal Ho Ka Yan pointed out that sports can help students maintain physical health and enhance immunity. It is also an effective way to relieve stress and enhance good mood and happiness. Therefore, after the epidemic, the school is committed to organizing various types of ball games, such as basketball, handball, etc., to promote interaction and communication among students, enhance their tacit understanding, promote their all-round development and adaptability, and enhance positive energy.
