Continuous assessment is provided at all levels to facilitate learning and monitor students' progress.
Teachers design teaching activities and assignments through teaching and learning workshops to assess students' learning progress and reflect on the effectiveness of teaching and learning, so as to enhance the effectiveness of teaching and learning. The school is committed to developing a "school-based curriculum" to meet students' abilities and needs. Teachers work together to design appropriate curricula and assignments, discuss assessment methods and pedagogical approaches through "Teaching and Learning Sessions". Students' learning motivation and effectiveness are enhanced. Flexible timetable arrangement allows senior secondary students to take elective subjects according to their abilities and interests.
