In the Junior Secondary School, we have recruited expatriate English teachers to lead drama activities and poetry appreciation in the classroom, while the expatriate English teachers recruited by the Education Bureau will promote speech and other activities. We also provide more opportunities for students to use English in morning assembly and after-school activities to create an English-speaking atmosphere in the school.
Tests and study adaptation measures:
Students' performance in class, assignments, and tests are evaluated on a continuous basis. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of test adaptation, invigilators' reports are provided for both semester exams so that teachers can clearly understand the effectiveness of the adaptation and provide students with the most appropriate support. After monitoring the overall performance of students, teachers will provide constructive feedback so that students can know how to improve and move forward in the direction of "Assessment for Learning".

Learning and Teaching Strategies :
The school believes that every student has the ability to learn, regardless of his or her starting point, and that with quality nurturing, he or she will advance academically. We hope to nurture students to become responsible learners, to strengthen the academic atmosphere of the school, and to raise academic standards. In addition, we have switched some of our academic subjects to English as the medium of instruction and have introduced "cross-curricular language learning" to further enhance students' English language proficiency. The Student Learning Development Team organizes forums, co-curricular activities and promotes peer learning in order to build a culture of "willingness to learn" in the school.
Teacher professional training and development:
The school is a place for teachers and students to grow together. Teachers can grow professionally by changing positions, developing school-based curricula, and participating in the curriculum development of the Education Bureau. In addition, the school arranges teacher exchanges with local and overseas schools, invites experts to the school for training, and sets up professional exchange periods for teachers. In recent years, classroom research has been gradually promoted to enhance the effectiveness of learning and teaching. The school also encourages teachers to be seconded to the Education Bureau to broaden their learning experience. Teacher training activities are organized annually in line with the school's theme.

- In terms of the culture of inclusion: regular inclusion activities are held at the junior high school level to guide students to accept each other's differences, and hopefully to be able to learn from each other's mistakes, encourage each other, and be united in a positive attitude;
- Learning Support Grant: The grant is used to purchase professional services, such as "Interpersonal and Social Skills Classes", "Concentration Training Groups", "Speech Therapy Services", etc., in order to enhance the learning effectiveness of students, to integrate into the campus life, and to broaden their horizons;
