| language_policy | The school implements the "biliteracy and trilingualism" policy, focusing on foundational language learning to cultivate students' expression, communication, and problem-solving skills. Through various learning activities inside and outside the classroom, students' language proficiency is enhanced. Regular language activities are promoted during morning assemblies by the Chinese, English, and Putonghua departments, along with the library, to boost students' ability and confidence in using "biliteracy and trilingualism" for communication. Through Language Across the Curriculum (LAC) and collaborative Extended Learning Experience activities with subject groups, students revisit the bilingual terms learned in class during reading sessions and thematic weeks. This approach increases students' exposure to and application of subject-specific terminology in both Chinese and English, thereby enhancing their English vocabulary across different subjects. |

| learning_and_teaching_strategies | Our teachers effectively use e-learning methods to enhance students' skills and encourage proactive learning. Subjects are structured with core and extended components tailored to suit students' abilities and interests. Teachers continuously improve Assessment Literacy to adjust their teaching strategies for improving students' learning. We emphasize good reading habits by scheduling two reading sessions each week for Chinese and English, promoting independent learning. Subjects also include values and national security education with relevant reading materials. In senior forms, students can choose two electives from Category A (14 options) and one from Category B (6 options) in addition to four core subjects. Regular “Life Wide Learning Sessions" involving field trips, visits and activities allow students to connect academic knowledge with real-world applications. We also provide various classes and experiences to create an engaging and diverse educational environment for students. |
| school_based_curriculum | 1. Electives: 3X. Students can choose 2 subjects from 14 A-level elective subjects and select 1 subject from six applied learning areas. 2. Curriculum highlights: The school is coordinated and managed by the Department of Teaching and Academic Development, overseeing various aspects of "Teaching and Learning Evaluation" across the school. In terms of curriculum development, the school timely introduces support from the Education Bureau and external educational consultants to assist in developing school-based curricula. A cross-disciplinary reading program is implemented throughout the school to enhance students' language proficiency and self-learning capabilities. From S.1 to S.3, a new Integrated Technology and Learning Skills subject is introduced, incorporating STEAM elements to boost students' interest in learning and foster their creative thinking. Thematic study courses are implemented in designated subjects to cultivate students' transferable skills. In addition to core and elective subjects, high school courses are tailored to cater for students' interests and abilities, offering applied learning programs. Starting this academic year, the school will also implement additional language courses (Japanese and Korean) in junior secondary. |
| major_renewed_emphases_in_the_school_curriculum | Our school focuses on four key initiatives that promote generic skills through the Learning Skills subject. In the Creative Technology Education subject, we use project-based learning to improve students' inquiry, self-learning, and IT skills. We organize reading activities in the Learning Skills subject, library, and cross-disciplinary courses to expand students' knowledge and learning experiences. The Values Education Committee and National Security Education Committee arrange events like Values Education Day, student activities, and weekly classes to instill correct values in students. We encourage interactive teaching and learning through e-Class and Google Classroom. Our school has created "Smart Classrooms" with improved teaching equipment, including wireless internet, smart boards, and tablet computers, to enhance interactive teaching and teacher effectiveness. |

| whole_school_approach_cater_for_learner_diversity | Based on students' learning abilities, we appropriately arrange teaching groups at different levels. Through the junior secondary adjustment curriculum and the establishment of foundational and extension components, we cater to the diverse learning needs of students. In S.1, we offer after-school homework classes to support students in completing their assignments. Both junior and senior secondary levels have specialized classes for advanced and remedial support, accommodating students of varying learning abilities. In S.5 and S.6, we organize a university mentorship program, inviting university students to provide focused support for students preparing for the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education (HKDSE) and to share the latest information on further education opportunities. |
| whole_school_approach_integrated_education | The school promotes an inclusive culture and focuses on holistic education, emphasizing students' learning outcomes, social skills, and overall health. A "Student Support Committee" has been formed, including the principal, vice-principal, Special Educational Needs Coordinator, support teachers, educational psychologists, and speech therapists. This committee provides learning support, develops students' potential, addresses individual differences, and works with families to highlight students' achievements. The school uses a "three-tier support model" to meet diverse educational needs and create an inclusive environment. This includes curriculum adjustments, teaching adaptations, peer support, teacher collaboration, classroom management, and assessment adjustments. The school specifically supports non-Chinese speaking students in learning Chinese and adapting to the classroom. It also helps newly arrived students in Hong Kong integrate into school life. The school utilizes additional resources from the Education Bureau, such as grants for learning support and for non-Chinese speaking students with special needs. This helps hire more teaching and support staff to improve education quality. Teachers are encouraged to participate in training courses offered by the Education Bureau to enhance their skills in supporting students with special educational needs. The school also organizes regular training to improve teachers' knowledge in addressing various learning needs. |
| support_for_non_chinese_students | Our school provides additional support for NCS students to facilitate their learning of Chinese: providing after-school support programmes in learning Chinese; appointing additional teacher(s)/teaching assistant(s) to support NCS students’ learning of Chinese; arranging intensive Chinese learning and teaching mode(s), e.g. pull-out learning if necessary, split-class/group learning, etc.; developing school-based Chinese Language curriculum and/or adapting learning and teaching materials; organising activities to create an inclusive learning environment in the school; and hiring additional manpower and/or translation/interpretation services to facilitate the communication with parents of NCS students. |
| adaptation_for_learning_and_assessment | The academic year is divided into three terms, with each term featuring a final assessment. In addition to regular assignments, homework, and quizzes, various thematic projects and subject-related reading materials are designed to train students' thinking, analysis, and answering skills. This approach also fosters a proactive attitude towards inquiry and learning among students. |

| home_school_co_operation | The Parent-Teacher Association was established in 2000. Parents support the educational goals of our school and actively participate in various school functions. There will be 3 Parent Nights and 3 Parents Days this academic year. These facilitate communication between parents and teachers for the support of students. The Parent-Teacher Association organizes various kinds of activities and training courses for parents to foster the cooperation between parents and school. It also reinforces a sense of belonging for the students and parents. |
| school_ethos | Having an immaculate ethos, we are concerned with the success of every single student. We work vigorously with team spirit to help each student in his/her education and growth. Concerned with upgrading our education standard, we continuously bring in resources from the community and other outside parties. Together with school social workers and psychologists, we provide students with comprehensive services for counseling, and contact students' parents regularly. Various award schemes have been founded. Programmes for improvement of behaviours and study are also provided for students in need. In 2001, the Student Union was founded to encourage students to develop their potentials in leadership and cooperation. The Alumni of the College was established in January 2004. |
