learning_and_teaching_strategies	1. Our school attaches great importance to developing students into self-regulated learners and cultivating their collaboration and entrepreneurial skills. In this regard, we develop e-learning in class, implement BYOD, and incorporate STEAM education and cross-curricular project learning in our junior form curriculum. 2. We make use of the three aspects of assessment to promote learning and teaching: assessment of learning, assessment for learning and assessment as learning. We have established a data analysis team to make effective use of assessment data by generating VA for internal assessments and using AQP from HKEAA to enhance learning. 3. With the introduction of Study Days and Students’ Days before and after the test/exam, we have established a strong learning atmosphere on campus.

Varied reading resources are purchased covering four major areas: Chinese History and Culture, Healthy Lifestyle, Moral Education and STEAM Education. Moreover reading-related activities such as talks, book exhibitions, book crossing are held to promote a good reading culture. 2. Project Learning In every level of the lower forms, students are engaged in cross-curricular project learning to foster collaboration and entrepreneurial skills. 3. E-learning Learning is also made more interactive and diversified through the implementation of eLearning and BYOD, which is now extended to the higher forms. Flipped Classroom Learning has been adopted in the lower forms to promote self-regulated learning this year. 4. Moral and Civic Education Moral and Civics education is carried out through both structured lessons (Life and Society, HMSC, Chinese History, Bible, Chapel lessons and Form Periods) and activities beyond the classroom such as educational tours, visits, talks, community services, etc., to instill in students' positive values and attitudes in life and to build up their character. 5. Block system in S.3 Arts and Science subjects S.3 Arts classes (Geography, Chinese History, History) and Science classes (Physics, Chemistry, Biology) are divided into three stages. Students only need to study one art and one science subject in each stage, allowing them to focus and learn the content cohesively. This approach helps students gain a deeper understanding of the topics.

Through a coordinated approach, S.1 students gain a greater sense of self-understanding and fulfil their true potential. The school also aims to empower students to make rational and responsible subject selection in S.3 with respect to their choices and career goal. In order to ensure that the career planning of the senior students match with their personal interests and strengths, the Life Planning and Career Guidance Team encourages students to take initiative to become active life-long learner and set goals for their future. Students discover various career and pathways of further studies through a series of life-wide learning activities and job tasting. Life planning and career education are conducted through school assembly and Form Teacher periods.
