Some of the science subjects are taught in English, while the arts subjects are taught in mother tongue. In recent years, the school has launched the "Middle School English Enrichment Program" to encourage the inclusion of English elements in the Mathematics and Science curricula to enhance the English proficiency of students, and to encourage students to adapt to the use of English as the medium of instruction in senior secondary schools earlier.

School Wind:
The school's ethos is simple and unadorned. The school has implemented the "Whole School Approach to Discipline and Guidance", whereby all teachers are involved in nurturing the quality of students and cultivating their good character, values and conduct. The "Caring School", "Senior Citizen Scheme" and "Ho Fook Tong Award Scheme" are all based on developing students' potential and building up their self-esteem. In addition to class teachers, discipline teachers, counselors, professional social workers and educational psychologists provide regular services to students and their families.

Learning and Teaching Strategies :
The curriculum is revised at each level according to needs and learning activities are organized throughout the year to enhance the academic atmosphere. Mother-tongue teaching is practiced at the junior high school level to enhance students' thinking and analytical skills, and the related English language teaching package is also effective. The curriculum is designed to enhance students' interest and motivation in learning. Starting from 2004-2005, the school has launched the Integrated Humanities subject, which integrates the curriculum of History, Geography, and Economics and Public Affairs, and introduces Project Learning to develop students' generic skills. The senior secondary curriculum of the school mainly follows the design of public examinations. In addition to the subjects in the public examinations, senior secondary students can develop different interests and skills through extra-curricular activities and other learning experiences. The school emphasizes the importance of cultivating students' reading habits. Every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, the school organizes a "cross-curricular reading class" in which teachers teach students to read Chinese, English, and Civics newspapers. This year, we also implemented the "Parent-Child Reading Award Scheme" to encourage parents to cooperate with the school in promoting reading. In addition, the Chinese subject participated in the Kai Wai Online Reading Program and the English subject participated in the Wiseman Online English Learning Program.
Teacher professional training and development:
The school has set up a "Staff Development Committee" to co-ordinate the professional development activities of teachers in the school, so as to complement the school's development work, to enable teachers to grow professionally, to keep abreast of the latest trends in teaching and learning, and to master the effectiveness of teaching and learning in various aspects. In addition, the school has organized a "Teacher Sharing Day" to provide an opportunity for teachers to share their learning and classroom experiences outside the school, so as to stimulate each other's learning. The school also encourages teachers of all subjects to conduct peer lesson observations, group lesson planning, and even "classroom learning" in order to enhance mutual exchanges. At the same time, parents are introduced to observe lessons so that they can better understand students' learning. The school has implemented "classroom learning" for many years, and it has been effective. Teachers of the school have been recognized for their outstanding performance. Teachers of English and Mathematics have been awarded the Chief Executive's Award for Excellence in Teaching and Learning.
Whole School Participation Model Integrated Education:
To help students with SEN and low academic achievement, the school continuously monitors and flexibly deploys resources to provide appropriate and diversified support for students to meet different learning needs and help them integrate into a pleasant school life. The school has employed two Integrated Education Assistants (IE Assistants) to assist the Special Educational Needs Coordinator in taking care of students with special educational needs (SEN) in dealing with their school life, while the other members of the IE Team help the students concerned in solving their learning and social problems, and provide them with timely counseling and follow-up actions. In terms of learning and teaching, the curriculum will be adapted according to the students' abilities. For examinations, special arrangements will be made for SEN students, such as extra time for written examinations, special arrangements for oral examinations, enlarged examination papers, special seating arrangements, use of computerized screen-reading software or speech-to-text software, etc.
Educational support for non-Chinese speaking students:
The School provides additional support to the admitted NCS students to help them learn the Chinese language by arranging intensive Chinese teaching modes (e.g. pull-out learning, small group learning, etc.) and organizing cultural integration activities. To facilitate NCS students' adaptation to the Chinese Language curriculum, after-school language support classes were provided to junior secondary NCS students and students were arranged to participate in activities related to Chinese culture.
