The school practices the Christian spirit of faith, hope and love, and adheres to the educational philosophy of "Unity in Discipline and Counseling, Equal Emphasis on Discipline and Participation of the Whole School", which emphasizes the cultivation of self-discipline, self-reflection and self-respect among students, and the maintenance of an orderly and disciplined learning environment. Discipline teachers, school social workers and classroom teachers work together to organize activities, follow up on cases, and set up the Healthy School Policy Unit and a number of programs to help students grow up healthily. In addition, we have set up a dual class teacher system, class teacher lessons and weekly diaries to enhance teachers' care and communication with students, so that students can better understand themselves and set goals for their future education and employment.
Learning and Teaching Strategies :
The school emphasizes the development of multiple intelligences and biliteracy and trilingualism. Through formal lessons and life-wide learning, students learn to learn and eventually develop a spirit of lifelong learning.
The school emphasizes curriculum planning, implementation and assessment. Curriculum planning emphasizes cross-curricular learning, training students in subject knowledge and generic skills. Teachers of the same level in each subject have a common lesson planning session, and peer observation of lessons builds a learning community. In the classroom, teachers facilitate student learning, train students to think, and lead them to construct knowledge and explore knowledge. Teachers assess and provide feedback on students' learning attitudes and progress to help students improve their attitudes and facilitate their learning.
The school has set benchmarks for the major subjects of Chinese, English, Mathematics, Life and Social Studies, and Integrated Science to ensure that students are able to cope with the senior secondary curriculum and are capable of pursuing tertiary education upon graduation. The school incorporates e-learning elements into the curriculum of each subject, utilizing multimedia, the Internet and tablet computers (iPad) to bring about effective interactive learning and self-directed learning, while catering for students' learning diversity at different levels.
The promotion of STEM education is also one of the key areas of development under the continuous renewal of the school curriculum, aiming to equip students with innovative thinking and problem-solving skills, so that they are equipped with the necessary knowledge, generic skills, values and attitudes to cope with the rapidly changing technological environment of the society.
In addition, through participation in community services, overseas study tours, diversified career planning, moral and civic education activities, etc., students are able to cultivate positive values, good living habits, and positive motivation, so as to build knowledge, skills, and values, as well as to build a meaningful life, be willing to share with others, contribute to the society and the world, and to be a responsible human being.
Teacher professional training and development:
A Teacher Training and Development Team has been set up to assess teachers' professional development needs and to plan and organize training activities. In addition, teachers attend seminars, workshops or in-service training courses according to their own professional development and school development plans.
Whole School Participation Model Integrated Education:
The school has set up a Student Support Unit to support students with special educational needs (SEN), which consists of a SEN Co-ordinator, a SEN Support Teacher, a Social Worker, a Counselor and a Teaching Assistant. The school uses the Learning Support Grant to provide counseling groups, social training groups, speech therapy services, literacy training classes and individual learning plans. Teaching and assessment adjustments are made according to the students' circumstances.
