learning_and_teaching_strategies	The whole school year is divided into two terms. To cater for learning uniqueness, streaming arrangement and small class setting are adopted. Some classes are taught in different ability groups for English, Chinese and Mathematics subjects. A variety of teaching approaches, e.g. collaborative learning, project-based learning, e-learning and etc, are employed to facilitate teacher-student interaction as well as student-student interaction and to encourage students to think, express themselves or do self-learning. Continuous assessment is used in all levels to facilitate learning and monitor learning progress. In common periods, teachers meet to design teaching materials and activities for lessons, evaluate students’ progress and reflect on their teaching effectiveness so as to seek improvement in teaching. We also strive to develop a “school-based curriculum” to cater for students’ needs & abilities.
school_based_curriculum	1. Electives: 2X. Our school is committed to providing a broad and balanced curriculum for our students. There are 12 elective subjects for Senior Form students to choose. The elective subjects are assigned to S.4 students so as to maximise the satisfaction rate of students’ choices and to meet their learning needs. 2. Curriculum highlights: The school focuses on the development of the STEAM Education Aviation and Robotics Curriculum. Besides Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, we have added on the elements Art and Aviation. Through STEAM, students can learn physics and astronomy knowledge. Through assembling robots and writing programs, students can also develop their knowledge in computer programming and engineering. Art is an indispensable element of STEAM education because any product would become raw and lifeless without it. As for Aviation, it helps students join the aviation industry by learning UAV operating skills and aviation knowledge. To meet the senior secondary curriculum and the needs of our students, we develop a school-based curriculum which includes: Ethics and Religious Studies, English Drama. Learning beyond the classroom, our curriculum provides students life-wide learning opportunities, which includes visits, excursions, voluntary work and study tours, so as to extend and enrich their learning experience.

Extensive reading is promoted in each Key Learning Area (KLA) so as to expand students’ knowledge. Strategies to promote extensive reading have been carried out by different subjects in addition to the class-based reading award schemes of language subjects, so as to promote Reading across the curriculum. 2. Information technology for Interactive learning: E-learning is used to promote self-directed learning among students. 3. Moral and Civic Education: Values Education is promoted through morning assemblies, class-teacher lessons, Ethics and Religious Studies, Chinese Language lessons, Chinese History lessons, volunteer work, as well as social services. In doing so, students are also encouraged to care about the disadvantaged in society.
life_planning_education	The Career and Life Planning Committee aims at helping students to understand the relationship between personality traits and career options before setting their goals. Career planning is the continual process of managing their learning and work to progress through their lives. It includes gaining and using the skills and knowledge needed to plan and make informed decisions about studying and work. With so many choices, it can be challenging to know what direction to take. The committee makes the best use of resources from both universities and professional organizations to have diversified life-planning education programmes, which include workshops on self-exploration, study and career talks. Career aptitude tests, mock interview workshops, visits and support are provided for students with special needs and S.6 students.

For students with lower abilities, we provide after-school guidance and adaptation in both the curriculum and assessments for them.
