Learning and Teaching Strategies :
We implement student-centered and diversified teaching, emphasizing the interaction between learning and teaching. The half-hourly timetable has been implemented to allow more flexibility in the number of lessons for each subject. In addition, one afternoon in every two cycles is reserved for different life-wide learning activities to enhance students' experience of different learning experiences.
Teacher professional training and development:
Each year, in response to the overall development and needs of the school, relevant seminars and workshops are organized for teachers, and relevant training programmes are implemented in collaboration with various professional bodies; in addition, each teacher is required to complete a certain number of hours of further study in each school year to tie in with the development of the Education Reform.
Whole School Participation Model Integrated Education:
In this school year, the Student Support Team consists of the Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator, six teachers of Chinese, English and Economics, a social worker and an educational psychologist. The school emphasizes on enhancing the overall language ability of the students, and has adopted a split-class approach to reduce the learning diversity of the students in junior secondary schools, and has set up an English enhancement class in junior secondary schools to reduce the learning diversity through small class teaching. At the same time, the school has hired external organizations to provide after-school classes such as "Reading and Writing Group", "Inclusive Parent Training", "Speech Therapy", "Aerial Photography Group", and "Counseling by Clinical Psychologists", etc., in order to help students with different needs. In addition, the school provides lectures/workshops on parent education to help parents understand the academic, behavioral, emotional and social characteristics of their students. Career planning counseling is also a focus of the group. Students are exposed to a wide range of career information through group counseling, industry and institution visits. An Educational Psychologist is stationed at the school for about 20 days a year to strengthen the support for students, parents and teachers.
Educational support for non-Chinese speaking students:
The School provides additional support to the admitted NCS students to help them learn Chinese: employing additional teachers/teaching assistants to support NCS students' Chinese language learning; and organizing cultural integration activities.
School facilities:
In addition to classrooms, special rooms and auditoriums, the rainy day playground and student activity center have been air-conditioned and wifi installed, while classrooms and special rooms are equipped with multi-media projectors, computers, physical projectors and infrared wireless sound system. Since the completion of the new wing in 2004, the school has added an English Learning Center, a 140-seat lecture hall, and a campus TV control room to allow students to participate in a wide range of activities outside of school hours, and in 2021, the school converted the roof area into an indoor athletic field to allow students to participate in sports without being affected by the rain. In addition, the school has renovated its library, adding Chinese elements to the interior decorations and creating a study space to provide a comfortable environment for studying and reading. In order to promote Chinese culture, the garden sitting area has been equipped with a traditional decoration called "Interjection", which means: "If it is empty, then it will be an interjection; if it is neutral, then it will be upright; if it is full, then it will be a cover," reminding the students that they should adopt the "Middle Way" in their lives and conduct themselves in the world.
