Learning and Teaching Strategies :
- We have set up learning portfolios for students from S1 to S5 to help them build up a learning history: students will complete reflection and self-assessment on a regular basis, which will be used as a comparison when class teachers and parents review students' performance on parent days, so that they can understand students' learning blind spots, improve their deficiencies, and enhance their learning effectiveness.
- Developing students' habit of taking notes in junior high school: Teachers set up assessment criteria for each subject and teach the key learning points of each subject, so as to cultivate students' habit of learning in a systematic way.
- Catering for Learning Differences: After-school enrichment classes for Secondary 1 to 3 students are coordinated to provide support for Chinese, English and Mathematics subjects according to the learning abilities of the students, so as to cater for the different learning needs of the students. After-school remedial classes are provided for senior secondary students and arrangements are made for students to participate in the mock Diploma of Secondary Education Examination organized by an external organization to enhance their preparation for the examination.
- Encouraging students to learn through reading: Each subject takes students to the library to borrow books at regular intervals, and sets up small book reports, book fairs and author talks to encourage students to read and strengthen the reading atmosphere in the school.
- Infiltration of Catholic core values in the curriculum: To promote the infiltration of Catholic core values in the curriculum by all subject groups, so as to establish positive education and enhance students' positive thinking.
- Strengthening e-learning and collaborative learning: Establishing diversified e-platforms to provide students with more opportunities to practice independent learning, conduct learning activities through group collaboration, and strengthen interactive learning in the classroom to enhance the effectiveness of learning.
- Setting up open classrooms: A whole-school lesson observation timetable was drawn up to allow teachers to choose suitable times for open classrooms, to promote the culture of mutual lesson observation in the school, to set up a learning circle for teachers, to encourage teachers to increase interaction in classrooms through e-learning and collaborative learning, etc. Teachers from the Education Bureau and other schools were invited to share their experiences of e-learning in the school on the Teachers' Development Day in order to enhance the professionalism of the teachers.
Teacher professional training and development:
1. Teachers of the school actively participate in courses, seminars, symposiums, workshops and training programmes organized by the Education Bureau, the Catholic Diocese of Hong Kong, tertiary institutions and professional bodies, so as to keep abreast of the latest trends in education development, to improve their teaching strategies and to enhance their professional knowledge.
