A. Focus on Learning and Teaching; Develops School-Based Curricula
Teaching is always conducted to facilitate learning, and school-based curricula have been implemented in all subjects. Liberal Studies has been taught to the junior forms since 1994. In addition, the Chinese Department received a Certificate of Merit under the Chief Executive's Award for Teaching Excellence in 2004 for its Higher-Order Thinking Skills Programme.
B. School-Based MOI Policy; EMI in Senior Forms
For over several consecutive years 100% of the students taken in by the School have been from Band 1. The medium of instruction for junior forms is predominantly Chinese, emphasizing teacher-student interactions. To ensure that students have a smooth transition to senior forms where English becomes the principal medium of instruction, English Bridging Programmes have been conducted with remarkable success.
C. Enriched MOI Policy for Multi-Disciplinary Growth
All junior-form students participate in the One Sport One Art One Service for Life Programme where the students' multi-disciplinary potentials can be more fully exploited.In addition, the implementation of project learning in all subjects greatly enhances the students' self-learning, collaborative, expressive, analytical, and creative powers, among other skill areas. To broaden the students' horizons, regular field trips and study tours (both local and overseas) are regularly organized.
