The school's medium of instruction is tailored to students' abilities, needs and learning effectiveness. Teachers of the school have completed the professional training provided by the Education Bureau (EDB) on the consolidation of language and subject learning. At present, except for English, Mathematics and Science, all subjects at junior secondary level are taught mainly in the mother tongue supplemented by English, while Mathematics and Science are taught in the medium of instruction on a class-by-class basis so as to increase the opportunities for students to use English, strengthen the language environment for learning English, and enhance students' confidence and motivation in learning. At the senior secondary level, more subjects are taught in English and students are allowed to choose the appropriate medium of instruction. The school emphasizes the importance of training students to be biliterate and trilingual. At all levels, some sections of English are taught in small groups and foreign English teachers are employed. The Chinese and English subjects at all levels are grouped according to ability, and the teacher-student ratio is lowered to enhance the quality of learning and teaching.

Learning and Teaching Strategies :
The school's curriculum is six-school-based, enabling students to achieve balanced and all-round development. In addition to meeting the needs of students, the school is actively involved in the curriculum reform, and emphasizes the need to respond to the needs of the times and the community. Students can develop their potential through a full range of activities, and cultivate a spirit of cooperation and service. The school emphasizes character formation and civic education, and nurtures the whole personality of students through religious ethics and affective education. In the Junior Forms, small class teaching has been introduced and students are streamed according to their abilities so that teachers can tailor their teaching to the needs of their students and take measures to ensure that they are at the top and at the bottom of the class. The school emphasizes the importance of students paying their homework on time and has set up a group in the junior high school to follow up cases of non-payment. A 15-minute classroom duty period is added before the end of the school day to cultivate students' good learning attitudes and habits. Extensive reading programs are offered in both Chinese and English to help students improve their language proficiency. In order to broaden students' reading horizons, an "All-round Reading Scheme" has been implemented in junior secondary schools, under which students are required to read at least one relevant book in each Key Learning Area (KLA). In addition, teachers and students in the school have widely applied IT in learning and teaching activities. In recent years, the school has been promoting mobile e-learning to enhance the effectiveness of learning and teaching.
Teacher professional training and development:
The school attaches great importance to the continuing professional development of its staff, and often organizes school-based or joint school development activities, participates in a number of quality enhancement programmes, and visits alumni schools for professional exchanges. The school supports staff in continuing education, study tours and secondment programs. Every year, the school develops programs to mentor new teachers, improve middle management skills, and foster a culture of exchange and self-improvement among teachers, with a particular focus on improving the effectiveness of teaching and learning.
Whole School Participation Model Integrated Education:
Through home-school co-operation and resource deployment, the school provides students with appropriate and diversified support services, such as educational psychology service, speech training, social training, etc. to enhance students' learning effectiveness and communication skills. The school also has a Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator (SENCO), a Special Educational Needs Support Teacher (SENST), and a Counselor in charge of the relevant work. In addition, the school organizes regular inclusive activities to promote the culture of inclusion.
Educational support for non-Chinese speaking students:
The School provides additional support to admitted NCS students to help them learn Chinese: providing after-school Chinese learning support; employing additional teachers/teaching assistants to support NCS students' Chinese language learning; arranging intensive Chinese teaching modes (e.g. pull-out learning on a need basis, group learning, etc.); developing school-based Chinese Language curriculum and/or adapting teaching materials; and organizing cultural integration activities.
