school_green_policy	Our school strives to save energy and reduce our carbon footprint by adopting a "reduce, reuse, recycle" philosophy in our daily operation, such as food waste management, energy saving scheme and solar energy generation system. On top of these, with the introduction of our ABLE RICE programme and the organic farming on campus, students and other stakeholders of the school are able to learn to live sustainably and contribute as member of the global village.
learning_and_teaching_strategies	In the pursuit of promoting the learning-to-learn ethos, our curriculum delivers more than just textbook knowledge for the students at HKUGA College. We foster a global cultural awareness through inquiry-based and problem-based learning strategies. Cooperative learning is another key feature of the curriculum, alongside the student-centered approach to teaching and learning. In recent years the school has been promoting "Individualized Learning". We tailor-make a variety of learning programs, alongside our mainstream curriculum, for students to choose and experience. These programs are catering different personalities, interests, learning styles and levels among students. For instance, we have CASTLE Program (Creative Arts, Sports, Technology, and Life Education) for the S.1 and S.2 students; Modular Studies for S3 students to taste the elective subjects in Senior Form, and the niche programs for the S.4 students under the NSS optimization framework. These students would be exposed to different kinds of education which are beyond the ordinary curriculum offered in Hong Kong.
school_based_curriculum	1. Electives: 3X. 2. Curriculum highlights: The junior form curriculum is in line with the abovementioned objectives. Whilst the senior form curriculum is implemented within the HKDSE framework, it still underpins the very philosophy of the College on developing independent learners. The International Advanced Level (IAL) curriculum is also implemented as an alternative pathway for students.

whole_school_approach_cater_for_learner_diversity	A variety of teaching strategies - ranging from the curriculum design, classroom setting, teaching and learning activities to cooperative learning - strive to cater for learners' differences.
whole_school_approach_integrated_education	With the belief that all students should have equal learning opportunity and one important key to successful integrated education is whole school approach. The school has established the Student Support Team [Inclusive and Gifted Education (IGE) Committee] since 2012, consists of special educational needs coordinator, teachers of various knowledge and experience, social worker, counsellors, speech therapist, educational and clinical psychologists. The team focuses on early identification, quality teaching in the regular classroom, support in all aspects of schooling, to individualise intervention. With the advantage of our through-train system and close communication between the primary section, students and parents, better support and preparation can be arranged during summer and before secondary school begins. We holistically and flexibly deploy our resources (e.g. the Learning Support Grant) to cater for students’ diverse learning needs through the 3-tier Intervention Model and promote an inclusive school culture. Within the time in HKUGA College, information and strategies are shared with confidentiality to related teachers and administrative departments for better support in daily learning. Specific developmental (e.g. social skills, read and write techniques, and executive function...) and career life planning related programs are arranged with invitation to target groups of students based on their needs. On the academic side, special examination arrangements and relevant training are also available during assessment and examination period.

This dedication ensures that classroom instruction is both profoundly insightful and highly engaging.
life_wide_learning	Life-wide learning is of paramount importance for our students as it provides a holistic education that goes beyond the confines of the traditional classroom. While academic subjects play a vital role in student development, life-wide learning offers a broader range of experiences and skills that are essential for their overall growth and success. Apart from in-class learning activities, students will go on learning trips to local areas, the Mainland and around the world to nurture their adventurous mind, cultivate a sense of national belonging and to have a better understanding of the world. In particular, the S5 field trip to the Mainland to strengthen understanding of the current development of the country. For S5 students, they would also embark on a journey of self-discovery, pursuing academic and career aspirations through the “North Star Programme”. They will meet mentors whose backgrounds span a vast range of expertise in our society. Engaging in diverse activities such as sports, arts, community service, leadership training and adventure-based exploration allows our students to develop their interests and talents, and gain a deeper understanding of the world. Life-wide learning fosters creativity, critical thinking, problem-solving, and adaptability, which are crucial skills for navigating the complexities of this ever-changing world. Moreover, it nurtures personal growth, promotes self-confidence, and instills a sense of responsibility and empathy towards others. Life-wide learning prepares our students to become well-rounded individuals equipped to lead a flourishing life. The college offers over 100 Extended Learning Activities for students to sustain and develop interests in fields other than the mainstream curriculum. Through our diversified ELAs, students are given extra learning opportunities and challenges to strengthen their interpersonal skills, boost their self-esteem and curiosity and mostly importantly, enhance individual and collective wellbei
