language_policyIn order to improve students' English standards, several Native English-speaking teachers are employed for teaching English and other subjects. English speaking lessons are provided to enhance students' speaking skills. We also encourage the students to use and practice their English more often through the Morning Reading Programme and the extra-curricular activities. In senior form Chinese lessons, effective grouping was used. In Form 6 English lessons, we use co-teaching or split classes according to the needs.
