Our school is committed to implementing various activities to nurture our students to become "self-confident, caring and committed", and to promote the spirit of the school motto, "To build oneself up and to achieve excellence". Our school is committed to building a "positive and grateful culture". We have implemented a double class teacher system in the Junior Forms, and there are also two Grade Officers in each grade to strengthen the care for our students. Through various activities, such as character development, life education, and reward and punishment systems, we help students understand right and wrong, establish correct self-worth, and cultivate a positive outlook and attitude towards life. We have strengthened the training of our leadership students through workshops and training camps to cultivate in them the courage to take up responsibilities and the spirit of teamwork. Through the "One Person, One Job" program in class, we develop students' autonomy and self-discipline to achieve the goal of "Self-Reliance". Our students actively participate in community services. For example, all students in S.2 and S.4 participate in the Elderly Service every year by giving performances and paying home visits to the elderly, so as to realize the spirit of "Achievers". Our school also makes good use of the weekly assembly and lunch time to organize different activities to cultivate students' attitude of "learning through diversity, contributing to the community and reaching out to others".
In 2013, we organized the "Outstanding Students Outbound Study Tour" to reward students with outstanding performance in academics, morals, physical and sports, leadership and service, and whole-person development with free overseas study tours. We also recognize students who are punctual, diligent and compliant with rules and regulations with the "Attendance Award" and "Conduct Award", and encourage them to be active and progressive through the "Rak Chai Rak Girl Reward" and "Self-achievement Reward Scheme". We also encourage students to make positive progress through the "Ratcha Ratcha Reward" and "Self-achievement Award Program" to build up a harmonious and pleasant campus together.

In collaboration with the "School-based Support Scheme" of the Education Bureau and the Hong Kong Association of Heads of Secondary Schools, our school makes good use of the advantages of "Small Class Teaching" and vigorously promotes "Independent Learning".

All teachers are equipped with tablet computers, and each classroom is equipped with 86-inch interactive display panels to enhance e-learning, increase classroom interactivity, and improve learning effectiveness. Our school has diversified reading activities, such as the subject-based reading program, which allows students to read different kinds of books every month; morning reading and teacher-student book referral, which cultivate students' reading habit and build up extracurricular knowledge. In S4 and S5, Chinese and English reading classes are organized to further enhance students' reading and writing skills. In recent years, our school has been committed to promoting STEM education to enhance students' understanding and application of science, technology and mathematics, and to encourage students to study and participate in extra-curricular competitions.

In addition to participating in the "School Initiative Project - Joint Teachers' Professional Development Day", our school has opened up the classroom and shared with the speakers in the "Independent Learning Network Joint Teachers' Development Week" organized by the Hong Kong Association of Heads of Secondary Schools, so as to share with the staff of our alumni schools the experience of implementing independent learning over the years. In recent years, the classroom arrangement is often affected by the epidemic, the school regularly provides teachers with different IT workshops, provides teachers with training and support to cope with the changes in the teaching environment and the learning needs of students, and improves the teaching, so that our school can take care of the needs of the students more effectively and provide appropriate support to help students grow up healthily, happily and fulfillingly.
