Learning and Teaching Strategies :
It is about student learning:
- To strengthen students' independent learning and creative inquiry skills;
- Cultivate students' reading skills so that they can learn from reading;
- To enrich students' diversified learning experiences, "Out-of-classroom" life-wide learning programmes are organized in various subjects.
Regarding teaching strategies:
- The middle school curriculum is student-centered, with a core curriculum developed to strengthen students' knowledge base;
- Collaborate with external universities and the Education Bureau to enhance the quality of curriculum and teaching;
- Teachers in the school are encouraged to pursue further studies and research on various teaching strategies to optimize the effectiveness of classroom learning and teaching.
Teacher professional training and development:
Every year, the school organizes a Teachers' Seminar Day and a Joint Teachers' Seminar Day, inviting experts and scholars to exchange ideas with the school's teachers, as well as conducting field trips to broaden teachers' horizons in education and to enhance their professional competence. The school encourages teachers to pursue professional development, and last year each teacher spent an average of more than 60 hours on continuing education. All subject groups prepare lessons together, and each teacher conducts at least one open demonstration lesson throughout the year. The school is gradually adopting the use of tablet computers for classroom teaching and organizing a real-life library to promote professional exchanges.
Whole School Participation Model Integrated Education:
The Student Support Team of the School is responsible for planning, implementing and reviewing the support for IE and formulating the School-based IE Policy.

The school regularly reviews the culture of inclusion within the school and utilizes the Learning Support Grant and other school resources to provide appropriate support for students with special educational needs. The Student Support Team works with professional staff to determine the level of support and service arrangements for individual students. The school provides small group or individual counseling for students in need, and also purchases support services such as speech therapy and after-school tutorial classes for them. With the consent of parents, the school will implement an Individualized Learning Plan (ILP) for students with severe learning/adjustment difficulties and make regular appointments with parents to review progress.
