Learning and Teaching Strategies :
The Chinese, English and Mathematics subjects are taught in small groups of about 20 students each according to their level. Teachers have more time to give individualized guidance to help students improve their level and confidence. Each group has its own curriculum and teaching objectives in order to achieve the functions of "excellence" and "remediation".
In the senior grades, the main focus is on practicing, thinking and assessing, in order to build a strong foundation of knowledge, which will help students to develop in the future, as well as help them to cope with the public examinations and to go on to university.
The whole school has implemented the "Reading Scheme" before school, and S1 has set up a reading subject to teach students reading skills, while students are also required to read extra-curricular books and newspapers in other subjects.
Public Examination Results: In the future, the school will take assisting students to study in universities as its main goal, and is now implementing a series of programs to help students, with tutorial classes for all subjects in Form 5 and Form 6 to help students in need to achieve good results. In the past few years, the pass rate of the Diploma of Secondary Education Examination was more than 80%, and every year about 90% of the students were admitted to universities and tertiary institutions. In recent years, a number of students from the school have gone on to study in universities with excellent results. For example, Ng Yiu Fai was admitted to the Department of Actuarial Science at the University of Hong Kong, Lam Siu Sze and Lo Ting Hei were admitted to the Department of Finance and Accounting at the University of Hong Kong, Tsang Mee Po was admitted to the Department of Physiotherapy at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Ng Yuk Yee was given priority in the Department of Nursing at the University of Hong Kong Faculty of Medicine, Ip Wing Yee was admitted to the Department of Professional Accountancy at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, and Leung Yau Chun was admitted to the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the Chinese University of Hong Kong.
