A Language Enrichment Program will be introduced in senior secondary schools to strengthen students' language proficiency. The school has set up a Chinese and English debating team many years ago to link up with the New Senior Secondary Curriculum, so as to provide students with more opportunities to utilize the language and enhance their confidence in applying the language. The junior high school fully participates in the Online English Learning Program, in which students make use of the school's intranet resources to learn vocabulary commonly used in various subjects and broaden their horizons.
With additional funding from the Education Bureau, the school has established diversified English language teaching resources and created a learning platform to promote English language learning. Foreign English teachers have been recruited to provide additional and diversified English language training for students. Other Life-wide Learning activities include Ningbo English Revival Camp, English Drama and Cultural Immersion Workshop, Halloween English Party, English Month, Lunchtime English Radio and English Debate Team.

The Bridging Courses for Primary 6 to Secondary 1 and Secondary 3 to Secondary 4 strengthen language learning and enable students to adapt to the English learning environment as soon as possible. The Chinese, English and Integrated Science subjects have participated in the Education Bureau's Science Domain Support Service and conducted joint research with education experts to enhance the effectiveness of learning and teaching. S1-S6 English, Mathematics and Liberal Studies/Civic and Social Development have set up joint lesson planning sessions, and promoted classroom research, peer observation and parent lesson observation to optimize teaching activities and enhance students' learning effectiveness.
