Our teachers also eagerly share within and outside the school to enlarge the repertoire of teaching strategies and hence enhance teaching effectiveness.

The College boasts a democratic tradition as the Methodist College Student Union was the first elected student cabinet by one man one vote. Our form associations, which are also elected by students and rotates around 5 colours: red, yellow, orange, green and blue, demonstrate how the torch is passed onto the juniors by their seniors from generation to generation. In 2022-2023, a new vertical house system was introduced to further strengthen the connections of all levels in the school. Besides, we offer more than 50 different student bodies in the form of clubs, societies, organizations and school teams such as choir, orchestra, rock band, debating teams and sports teams for students to take part. There is also a wide range of training courses including musical instruments, foreign languages, art and design, archery etc. held over the weekend. Music and leadership training activities are the foci of development in recent years to give students a rich & vibrant school life. Our students perform well in interschool competitions and win numerous prizes in debating, speech, music, sports, art etc. The Mathematics teaching video "RHS" (side-angle-side) produced by our MCTV was widely circulated on the internet and won wide acclaim.
