In each subject, there is a "Fun Time" to enable students to enjoy learning through lively and practical lessons. To enhance students' thinking and organizational skills, the school has implemented the "Kokang E Corps Scheme" to encourage students to use complete sentences and "self-interrogation" in the classroom of each subject. In the "Kokang E Corps Scheme - The Best and the Brightest", there is an award related to organizational skills in each subject to reward students who have excelled in reading aloud, repetition, etc. The school has also set up an "Organizational Skills Award" in the "Kokang E Corps Scheme - The Best and the Brightest" in the "Kokang E Corps Scheme - The Brightest and the Brightest".
