Additionally, to tie in the Three-Year Development Plan, different reading categories are established, e.g. deepening reading and different types of reading reward schemes. In recent years, the school has also actively promoted the "Cross KLA Reading Programme" and the "E-Reading Programme", utilizing the advantages of interdisciplinary collaboration and information technology to promote a culture of independent reading among students. 2. Information Technology for Interactive Learning: Students are encouraged to learn English via an online, self-access English learning platform.

In our school, at least one project learning activity is held for junior form students every year. Careful discussion is carried out to set the sub-title, direction and questionnaire. Analysis of the data collected is done before class presentation is given. 4. Moral & Civic Education: We foster student's positive values and attitudes through the learning and teaching of various key learning areas and the provision of relevant learning experiences. It promotes students' positive personal qualities and prepares them for citizenship. Besides, the Life Education Committee organizes various activities such as talks and group discussion in the assembly period to empower students to build a healthy, safe and positive life. |
