school_green_policyAs a green school, we actively participate in various environmentally friendly campaigns and aim at developing into a sustainable green school in the society through setting up our roof-top garden, organic farming fields, wind power generators and solar panels. The school puts green policies like "recycle, reduce and reuse" in our daily operations and learning activities. The Environmental Protection Ambassadors promote environmental conservation awareness among all stakeholders, including parents and the community, and strive to live up to the high standards of the Green School awards that we have earned.
learning_and_teaching_strategiesWe promote students' initiative in learning. Learning skills are formally taught in junior forms to help students build up good study habits, including having pre-lesson studies preparations, maximizing the use of e-Learning platforms, organizing personal notes and so on. The School constantly upgrades IT facilities and makes good use of them in learning and teaching. We also put emphasis on knowledge construction and interactive learning through using various types of information technology. Field studies and activities outside the classroom are frequently organized to promote active learning. We encourage students to participate in various inter-school competitions to gain valuable experiences and broaden their horizons. We also organize interesting English activities to enhance the English learning environment. The main objective is to help students acquire life-learning skills.
school_based_curriculum1. Electives: 3X and 4X. Every student may choose at least 3 elective subjects. There are altogether 15 elective subjects offered. This creates more than a hundred combinations to fit students’ needs and interests. More capable students may choose the Mathematics Extended Part as their fourth elective subject.
2. Curriculum highlights:
(1) Nurturing students’ interests in learning English and enhancing students’ English abilities: We have small-class teaching in S.1 to S.6 English lessons to create more opportunities for students to use English. We strive to create a fruitful and joyful English learning environment to motivate students with various activities, such as English Speaking Days, English drama appreciation, inter-class competitions, snacks-making workshops, Reading Club, movies and songs appreciation sessions, etc.
(2) Promoting STEAM education: We conduct activities and cross-curricular collaboration projects to strengthen our students’ knowledge, skills and confidence in observation, application, analysis, problem-solving, integration and evaluation, so as to nurture students' strong interest in learning. We organize interesting STEAM activities and provide training at the STEAM Studio and Maker Space.
(3) Small-class teaching: We recruit extra teachers to enable more small-class teaching to offer better support to students for their future needs. We have small-class teaching in English, Chinese, Mathematics, Computer Literacy, Technology and Living, and Design & Technology lessons. We have classes using Chinese or English as the medium of instruction in Mathematics and Science. There are also different levels of enhancement classes during weekends and holidays.
major_renewed_emphases_in_the_school_curriculum1) The School emphasizes Reading. We have morning reading periods twice a week. Class libraries have been installed in all classes. There are lots of reading activities, including Chinese and English bookcrossing and Chinese book reports competitions, to promote a good reading habit and atmosphere.
2) Our teachers make good use of interactive learning tools and electronic learning platforms, including Online Question Bank from HKEdCity, Google Classroom, Explain Everything, Edpuzzle, Kahoot!, Padlet, Quizizz, and flipped activities to enhance self-motivated learning. All these enrich teacher-student and student-student interactions and enable teachers to provide instant feedback to students. Teachers can monitor their teaching effectiveness and students’ learning progress.
3) The School integrates STEAM elements into the junior secondary project learning across different subjects in order to develop students’ problem-solving skills and investigative ability. Through teaching students to create Canva slides and make presentation in Chinese or English, students are well-prepared for the school-based assessments in senior secondary.

whole_school_approach_cater_for_learner_diversityArousing interest in study and fostering self-directed learning are our major concerns. Great efforts are spent on refining curriculum design, teaching pedagogy, assessment and professional development. We have split classes during most Chinese, English and Mathematics lessons. Teachers fine-tune specific curriculum and tailor-make teaching materials according to student's abilities and needs. Different enhancement classes are conducted to provide extra assistance to students in need. We have also joined school-based development projects organized by the EDB and other tertiary institutes.
whole_school_approach_integrated_educationThe Inclusive Education Committee is established to cater for the requirements of students with special educational needs. The School makes good use of the Learning Support Grant and NCS SEN Grant to support students with special education needs with different activities, such as after-school tutorials. We believe that students with such needs should have the same learning opportunities as others, having a normal school life to improve and equip themselves. Each of these students is assigned with a caring teacher who provides appropriate assistance to help them accommodate school life. Extra manpower is recruited to conduct peer counselling programmes, provide learning support and speech therapy, and prepare for examination adjustments.
