English language and study skills training is strengthened at junior secondary levels, and large-scale cross-curricular project work is conducted at S1 and S2 levels to enhance students' learning abilities. The school offers 13 NSS elective subjects, and students can choose three subjects according to their interests and abilities. Each subject develops students' thinking skills and problem-solving abilities at different levels. Teachers use collaborative learning, group discussions, student presentations, debates and other independent learning modes to enhance the interactivity of the classroom. In addition, each subject organizes learning activities outside the classroom, such as visits and field trips, to extend teaching beyond the classroom to the real world, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of teaching and learning.
Teacher professional training and development:
In line with the Education Bureau's professional ladder, teachers are encouraged to actively participate in professional training courses and activities, and at the same time, through mutual exchanges and collaboration within the school, a professional learning community is established to enhance the professional competence of teachers.
Whole School Participation Model Integrated Education:

Adaptation of teaching materials will be arranged for students to use in class and pull-out lessons. Examinations will be adapted and the marking scheme will be adjusted. The school will arrange Chinese-speaking students to sit next to non-Chinese-speaking students to help each other and increase the opportunities of communication in Chinese.
