| language_policy | We offer both English and Chinese as the medium of instructions. Students will be allocated to study in the respective medium with reference to their previous academic background, personal preference and language competency. For some classes, students from Mainland and students from ethnic groups will be mixed together in a class, in order to enhance interaction between the two. For Chinese students whose English proficiency is outstanding, they will be offered a choice to use English as the medium of instruction for some subjects while the same for the ethnic minority groups. In addition, given the background of diverse ethnic groups, English, Putonghua and Cantonese have become the languages of communication in students’ daily school life. |
