Clarify the development theme and refine the execution strategy

Principal Lau Sai Chong has rich experience in administrative management and is able to formulate educational policies with forward thinking. Unlike ordinary schools that use three-year development plans, he advocates a "3+3" six-year consistent development plan that runs through students' entire secondary school careers to ensure students' learning quality. The school's theme of "Excellent Arts, Soaring Creativity, Gathering Chinese and Foreign Students, and Soaring Dreams" runs through the brand-new "3+3 Years School Development Plan". Principal Lau Sai Chong said: "The 'art' in 'Beautiful Arts' not only refers to art, but also includes various technologies and abilities, encouraging students to show their outstanding talents in sports, STEAM and other fields; 'Creative Flying' emphasizes the penetration of innovative thinking in various disciplines, whether it is STEAM subjects, Chinese, humanities or moral education, students are encouraged to use their creativity; 'Chinese and foreign gathering' reflects The school pays attention to the expansion of students' diverse horizons. Through long-term cooperation with French sister schools, it organizes students to compete and exchange in mainland China, France, Australia, South Korea, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Japan and other places, so that students can accumulate rich international experience; "Flying Dreams" is the school's ultimate goal, providing students with a platform to realize their dreams and helping them spread their wings in the pursuit of achievement. "

Focus on effective learning and help students grow

The school adheres to the concept of "Leading to effective learning". Principal Lau Sai Chong pointed out: "Although grades are an important reflection of learning results, the learning process is more critical. An effective learning process can promote students to achieve better results. Even if students have differences in ability, as long as effective learning is achieved, learning goals can be achieved." For this reason, the school has adopted "Leading to Effective Learning" this year to constantly remind all teachers and students to pay attention to the effectiveness of the learning process.

In daily teaching, the school implements this concept in a variety of ways, such as regular principal admonitions, and guidance from the principal, vice-principal and class teacher to students who need to be reminded; in-depth performance analysis not only focuses on students' performance, but also explores the reasons behind performance fluctuations, such as the decline or improvement of class scores, and the impact of students' family factors on performance, in order to comprehensively improve students' learning results. In the just past Diploma of Secondary Education Examination, 10 subjects obtained Level 5 or above, showing remarkable achievements among students.

Deepen moral education and create a positive culture

The school attaches great importance to moral education, paying particular attention to mental health issues that have attracted much attention in recent years, and is committed to creating a positive campus culture. Positive culture covers many aspects such as moral education and mental health education. It incorporates elements of positive culture from the guidance of daily behavioral norms to the development of major theme activities. For example, in the speech in the auditorium, by talking about staying away from drugs, participating in the National Sports Games, strengthening creative technology education, and appreciating Chinese culture, the concept of healthy living is conveyed and students' correct values ​​​​are cultivated.

At the same time, the school's efforts and achievements have also been recognized, and it has won Yan Chai Hospital's Moral and Civic Education Award Scheme for two consecutive years; in the Constitution and Basic Law Student Campus Ambassador Training Program organized by the Education Bureau, it has won the runner-up and third runner-up in the Hong Kong Illustration Design Competition, the Most Actively Participating School Award, and the overall championship in the school-based activity competition. These achievements are inseparable from the teachers' active cooperation and hard work. The integration of moral education into different teaching levels also proves the school's effective measures in moral education.

In addition to academic performance, it also focuses on tapping students' potential in sports, art, technology and other fields, and encourages them to pursue excellence in multiple fields.

This year, it further integrates the sports industry with students’ career planning to provide students with a broader space for development.

In the field of STEAM, the school actively organizes various activities and competitions to cultivate students' innovative thinking and practical abilities. For example, the 12th Rummikub Primary School Challenge not only allows students to increase their interest in mathematics, but also trains them to serve as judges and staff to improve their comprehensive abilities.

The school also spares no effort in developing mathematics and English. Considering the close connection between mathematics, English and STEAM subjects, the school actively explores ways to improve students' abilities in these two subjects. By organizing various mathematics competitions and English activities, students are encouraged to participate in social services and international exchanges and improve their abilities in practice. For example, the Hong Kong English Speaking and Performing Contest is held to invite foreign students to compete with Hong Kong primary and secondary school students, providing students with a platform for all-English communication and presentation.

For students who are preparing to take the DSE exam, the school offers exam-taking strategy coaching classes to teach exam-taking skills in various subjects and improve students' exam-taking abilities. In the process of students' growth, the school pays attention to spiritual encouragement, such as holding encouragement meetings to commend students who have improved in courtesy, activities, diligence, service, etc., and inviting parents to witness together to enhance students' sense of achievement and self-confidence.

Enrich extracurricular activities to inspire talents and potential

The school continues to enrich extracurricular activities to provide students with more opportunities to develop their interests. This year there are new extracurricular activities such as fencing, rowing, scouting, and guzheng. The development of these activities not only requires teachers’ participation and follow-up, ensuring resource support, but also considers students’ willingness to participate. The school actively coordinates resources from all parties to meet the needs of students. For example, the establishment of a football team is in response to students' requests. During the activities, the school paid more attention to students' sense of engagement and growth experience, and encouraged students to try bravely and not be discouraged even in the face of failure.

Carry out international exchanges and broaden knowledge horizons

In order to broaden students' learning horizons, the school actively carries out international exchange activities, taking the English competition as an opportunity to communicate with students from many countries and regions, and invites students from Vietnam, South Korea, Thailand, Malaysia and other countries, as well as Macau and mainland China, to participate in the English competition held by the school.
