School Characteristics School Management School's Major Concerns: 1. To further cultivate proactiveness in learning and nurture self-directed learners. 2. To further enhance Jubileans' mindset in service learning. 3. To unleash Jubileans' potential and enhance their whole-person development. School Management Organisation: The IMC proactively supports the development of the school. The school-based policy is executed under the leadership of the Principal. The Administration and Policy Consultation Committee and the School Development, School Self-evaluation & Data Analysis Committee, Teaching and Learning Affairs Division and Student Support Division jointly set the school's direction, formulate policies and guide the development of different panels to ensure proper delegation of responsibilities. Incorporated Management Committee / School Management Committee / Management Committee: The IMC is made up of representatives of the sponsoring organization, various stakeholders as well as independent individuals (including professors, pastors and laypersons with management experience). School Green Policy: We adopt a whole school approach in waste reduction, energy conservation and recycling with assistance from Student Environmental Ambassadors. We have activated Hong Kong's largest commissioned school solar power project under the CLP Renewable Energy Feed-in-Tariff Scheme to promote green living. Learning and Teaching Plan Whole-school Language Policy: The school adopts English as the medium of instruction in all classes and most of the subjects. To strengthen students’ ability in learning other subjects in English, we allocate extra resources to foster a language rich environment. Daily activities, such as announcements, assemblies, and school events are conducted in English supplemented by Putonghua and to ensure that our students are biliterate and trilingual. Our school had hosted exchange students from foreign countries including France, Argentina, Turkey, Italy, Germany, Denmark, Finland and Iceland, so as to enhance students’ English speaking proficiency. Learning and Teaching Strategies: Our school aims to provide a broad-based and balanced curriculum which helps students achieve balanced development in moral, intellectual, physical, social, aesthetic and spiritual aspects. We also focus on fostering independent thinking skills and developing a positive outlook in life. Since 2015, the school has been progressively implementing self-directed learning in junior forms. By allowing students to reflect on their learning experiences, greater effectiveness in learning can be achieved. Our school emphasizes on the development of self-directed learning, providing vertical synergy in senior form subjects. We also offer a broad range of subjects for our senior secondary curriculum, along with the establishment of a talent pool and after-school enrichment and enhancement classes to cultivate and develop the potential of elite students. School-based Curriculum: 1. Electives: 3X. Students can choose 3 electives from 11 options according to their strengths and interest. Students have the flexibility to choose their combination of subjects. Besides, other language courses such as Japanese and French are offered by other institutions. 2. Curriculum highlights: Our school caters to students’ learning diversity and promotes quality education. Not only are various enhancement, enrichment, and remedial classes provided, but Saturday support classes and junior form English tutorial classes are also provided to tailor to students’ learning needs. Drama and English Literature have been integrated into the junior form English curriculum. Not only does this provide a venue for students to express themselves in English, but it is also an opportunity to learn western cultures and broaden one’s worldview. Our school has recommended a Chinese book list to junior form students and has its own teaching materials which combine selected Classical Chinese Literature and notable Chinese Philosophy works. This enables students of all forms to develop a sense of aesthetics and appreciation for Chinese culture. The Mathematics department offers the Mathematics Olympiad programme for various forms. We encourage students to take part in competitions to improve their problem-solving skills. To develop students’ civic awareness and critical thinking skills, junior form Life and Society requires students to analyze current affairs and issues. Senior form students gain valuable learning experiences through the integration of service learning and curriculum. Development of the Four Key Tasks: 1. Reading to Learn: A structured Self-directed Reading Scheme (SDRS) is implemented to promote intensive and extensive learning. The "Reading Footprint" also allows students to record and evaluate their reading habits. 2. Project Learning: The school has implemented a series of cross-curricular programmes for junior form students, namely Experiential Project Learning (F.1), STEM (F.2) and Service Learning (F.3). These structured programmes will enrich students' learning experiences, promote high-order thinking, and sharpen their critical thinking and collaboration skills. 3. ICT: The school emphasizes the cultivation of students’ problem-solving skills, programming skills and self-learning skills which equip students to be life-long learners. The new direction of junior form CL curriculum is "ABCD". (A: AI; B: Big Data; C: Coding; D: Design Thinking) Our school also promotes STEM across various platforms, including project learning in F.2, formal curriculum, Project Alpha, extra-curricular activities and service learning. 4. MCE: The school utilizes assemblies, class teacher periods and exchange programmes to instill a sense of confidence, leadership and the spirit of community service in our students. In addition, our school provides a complete framework in service-based learning to cultivate the spirit of service among students (F.1: Class service, F.2: Whole-school service, F.3: Community service, F.4-F.6: Service Learning x KLA). Life Planning Education: The Career and Life Planning Committee offers structured training to students through class teacher periods, morning assemblies, hall assemblies, talks and other school functions. The training aims to allow students to understand their personal needs starting from F.1 and to set goals for life according to the needs as soon as possible. Moreover, our school has a vast network of alumni providing various internship opportunities for senior form students, which increases their exposure to the real world and help build their social circles. Student Support Whole School Approach to Catering for Learner Diversity: A duo class teacher system is implemented from F.1 to F.5. A wide variety of enhancement and remedial measures are introduced, with the collaboration of all departments, to ensure that students’ diverse learning needs are met. Our school also provides support for gifted students. We offer various learning opportunities to gifted students, including nominating students to attend gifted classes offered by universities. Whole School Approach to Integrated Education: Our school is dedicated to establishing a harmonious ambience by adopting the Whole School Approach for students with SEN. To provide further support to the SEN students, our school has hired an SEN coordinator and outsourced counselling services (such as speech therapy, and counseling provided by clinical psychologist), using the Learning Support Grant. Our school supports SEN students through the Guidance and SEN Committee (including a school-based educational psychologist). Education Support for Non-Chinese Speaking (NCS) Students: Our school provides additional support for NCS students to facilitate their learning of Chinese: appointing additional teacher(s)/teaching assistant(s) to support NCS students’ learning of Chinese; arranging intensive Chinese learning and teaching mode(s), e.g. pull-out learning if necessary, split-class/group learning, etc.; and organising cultural integration activities. Measures to provide adaptation for Learning and Assessment: There are 2 uniform tests and 2 exams throughout the academic year. The uniform tests will be part of the continuous assessment. The first term results and the second term results are worth 40% and 60% of the total score, respectively. Each subject will incorporate a standardized percentage of the total score for continuous assessment items in order to improve students’ learning efficiency and reduce the pressure of examinations. Examples include class participation, uniform tests, short quizzes, themed reports, and book reports. Our school will also provide tailored learning and assessment framework for students with special needs. Home-School Co-operation and School Ethos Home-School Co-operation: The school has established a close partnership with the Parent-Teacher Association. PTA supports various school functions such as Teacher's Day and the monitoring of the canteen’s food quality. Also, PTA holds various talks, lunch gatherings and interest classes in order to enhance mutual understanding between school and parents. School Ethos: Our students are humble and of great moral integrity. We adopt a holistic counselling approach in which the whole teaching staff works collaboratively with the guidance team well-supported by the school social workers and educational psychologists to provide professional counseling service. The Big Brothers and Sisters Scheme and various school functions involving parents are carried out to support the growth of students. We have cultivated a harmonious school culture which brings love and care. Future Development School Development Plan: School Development Plan (2019/2020 - 2021/2022): 1. To further cultivate proactiveness in learning and nurture self-directed learners; 2. To further enhance Jubileans' mindset in Service Learning; 3. To unleash Jubileans' potential and enhance their whole-person development. Teacher Professional Training and Development: All staff members are encouraged to participate in various seminars, workshops and in-service courses according to personal training and school developmental needs. Staff development days are also organised to promote the exchange of experiences and knowledge. Some teachers will be partaking in various roles within the education community to enhance professional standards, such as speakers for various educational conferences, producing teaching materials for the EDB, or acting as part of the evaluation panel for teachers’ textbooks. Life-wide Learning (including Five Essential Learning Experiences to be provided through Key Learning Areas, Extra-curricular Activities, Co-curricular Activities, etc.) Our students participate in various co-curricular activities to achieve whole-person development. Such activities are fivefold, which include academics, religion, sports, performing arts, and community services.

School Management Organisation: Our School Alumni Association, Parent-Teacher Association, Student Union, Staff Affairs Committee and the like complement each other to offer quality education. Incorporated Management Committee / School Management Committee / Management Committee: Incorporated Management Committee School Green Policy: Environmental conservation and a low-carbon lifestyle are always advocated in our school. Innovative programs have been launched to promote the awareness and habits of low-carbon living in school and in daily lives. Dissemination of low carbon tips that encourage recycling and reduction of energy use, low-carbon diet, greening in school, and participation in external environmental conservation activities is undertaken in school with the support of civic ambassadors. Through having low-carbon lifestyles, earth resources can be used wisely. Learning and Teaching Plan Whole-school Language Policy: Junior form students are assigned to English enrichment classes according to their English levels, to ensure they effectively learn and enjoy learning in English. A pleasurable English-rich environment motivates students to learn and use English inside and outside of class. Learning and Teaching Strategies: The school works to instill in students a passion for learning, self-motivation, critical thinking, creativity and pursuit of excellence. Students may enroll in Arts, Science as well as Business subjects for broad and balanced scope of knowledge. Reading lessons in junior forms equip students with nonfiction reading strategies. Classroom teaching aims to help students learn how to learn and cultivate a love of learning. Students develop generic skills, desire to learn and fulfil their potentials through structured classroom and co- and extra-curricular learning experiences. With the ever improving student qualities, the school actively promotes self-directed learning through the establishment of study habits such as doing lesson preparation and note-taking strategies. The school organizes enriched and accelerated pull-out programmes in different domains to cater for the learning needs of the gifted learners or high achievers. The school equips students with comprehensive learning strategies and provides a rich English environment, in which both teachers and students can use the language to teach, learn and communicate.

Morning assemblies, weekly assemblies, multi-cultural exchange programs, and current affairs forums are some of the ways to expose students to issues in daily lives and in society, through which they build their cultural and national identities. Diverse and effective whole-school reading schemes and activities have fostered a strong reading culture. Our reading promotion activities include Exploring a New Horizon Reading Award Scheme, Parent-Child Reading Competition, Story Sharing Corner, Nonfiction Reading Lessons, and also “Budding Writers” to encourage students to write. Three of our English teaching practices are among the 15 Exemplars of Good Practices commended by the Education Bureau, and one of them is on our whole-school approach to the promotion of reading. (http://good-practices.edb.hkedcity.net/). Life Planning Education: Believing that each student has their own interests, abilities and orientations and realizing that there are multiple study pathways after they graduate, we implement individual student planning, ensuring each student receives career guidance from an advisor in the last two years of their secondary schooling. The objectives are to support our students to understand their career / academic aspirations, make informed choices on their career / learning goals, and review their academic performance, achievements and other factors in relation to their career / educational pursuits.

We arrange our students to take Career Interest Inventory in Secondary 5. In the same year, students go to a Life Camp themed on life planning and team building, followed by drafting of the self-account, preliminary programme choices and transition talks in S6.

Individual student planning will be made much more successful with a career and guidance curriculum in place starting from the junior forms. So Finding Colours of Your Life and Career Mapping are built into our junior and senior curricula respectively. Class teachers conduct class teacher periods on career and life planning. To empower the class teachers and career teachers, school-based training for teachers on life planning education and career guidance is conducted every year. The Career Week also serves as a hidden curriculum exposing students to the world of work and further studies. Student Support Whole School Approach to Catering for Learner Diversity: Besides the sustained effort in promoting reading and engagement in voluntary community service, the school’s key concerns are enhancing learning and teaching effectiveness, and cultivation of self-directed learning attitudes and capacities. Learners’ diversity is catered for by various enhancement and enrichment programs so that students can realize and develop their potential.

Measures to provide adaptation for Learning and Assessment: Report cards are issued four times a year to let students and their parents keep track of their learning progress. Students are encouraged to set their own goals and embrace challenges. We adopt the formative assessment approach and emphasize the process of learning. Home-School Co-operation and School Ethos Home-School Co-operation: Through Parents’ Nights, parent education talks, parent groups, the Parent-Child Reading Scheme, social gatherings, the PTA Homepage, the Parent Handbook and so on, the Parent-Teacher Association promotes home-school co-operation and enhances mutual understanding between teachers and parents.

Whole School Approach to Integrated Education: Our school has established Learning Support Committee (Special Educational Needs, SEN). The board of this committee includes Assistant Principal, Special Educational Needs Coordinator, educational psychologist as well as Discipline Committee and Counseling Committee. The board caters for learning diversity and provides appropriate supporting services so as to upgrade our students’ learning capacity and assist them in integrating into the school life.

Our school uses Learning Support Grant wisely by employing one counseling teacher in order to provide assistance for our SEN students.

Our team always emphasizes on the communication and connection with parents. Every year, we arrange Parents’ Talk, and conduct survey by doing random questionnaires with the parents through phone calls so as to seek advice from them and collect their comments on the supporting services. We also launch effective parent-child activities with social workers. Besides, students interact with parents through activity learning and work experience activities which enhance communication between them and improve their relationship.

There are two school terms in a year and there is an examination in each school term. Home-School Co-operation and School Ethos Home-School Co-operation: Our Parent-Teacher Association was established in 2003. We strongly believe the collaborative efforts of home and school will help children who are brought up under love and care of homes and schools to develop and grow healthily.

School Characteristics School Management School's Major Concerns: 1. Promoting the spirit of learning autonomy in order to cultivate students’ initiative in learning. 2. Nurturing students to become well-rounded in moral development under the implementation of values education. 3. Providing support and guidance for students to foster self-understanding, personal planning and goal setting. School Management Organisation: Communication between management and staff receives much attention, as witnessed by the forming of the Advisory Committee and the Executive Council, the Learning and Teaching Committee and the Student Affairs Committee. Incorporated Management Committee / School Management Committee / Management Committee: The school is led by the Incorporated Management Committee which not only comprises of professionals and upstanding members of the community, but also representatives of parents, teachers and alumni. School Green Policy: We adopt a whole school approach in waste reduction, energy conservation and recycling . Parents receive messages through eNotice and teachers use the intranet to transmit messages. Students are encouraged to download revision notes and suggested answers from the electronic learning platform instead of using hard copies. Learning and Teaching Plan Whole-school Language Policy: In accordance with the policy of Fine-tuning the Medium of Instruction, we now use English as the Medium of Instruction for Social Studies in the junior curriculum so as to enhance students’ motivation to learn English and to facilitate their transition to senior secondary levels. The native-speaking English teacher and tutor offer students chances to be exposed to the language through different English activities. Learning and Teaching Strategies: The school aims for the balanced development of students’ abilities. Self-regulated learning is adopted by which students construct their knowledge through collaborative learning. Students are streamed into different classes based on their learning abilities. Teachers vary their teaching materials and methodology to meet students’ diverse learning needs. Curriculum tailoring and remedial measures have been implemented by teachers of different subjects and at different levels in order to raise students’ learning outcomes and effectiveness. Homework policies have been improved to help students to prepare for their lessons. Students performing well are awarded different prizes. School-based Curriculum: 1. Electives: 2X and 3X. Extended Part of NSS Mathematics - Module 1: Calculus and Statistics 2. Curriculum highlights: Curriculum highlights: Regarding timetabling, subjects are arranged according to the options of the students. This provides students with greater flexibility and caters for their differences regarding ability and aptitude. Tutorials for Chinese, English, Mathematics and Liberal Studies are designed to cater for learner diversity. Junior form students have a double activity period every week. During the activity period, students participate in either a musical or sports activity since it is the belief of the school that it is important for every teenager to nurture an interest or a talent in either area. Students can also participate in other activities like STEM, Visual Art, Debating, Scientific Inquiry, Campus TV, Girl Guides or Life Education. Enhancement and remedial programmes are arranged on Extended Learning Day on Fridays to cater for learner diversity. All subject departments design different teaching plans, content, strategies and assignments for students who have better academic performance in order to boost their academic achievement. Life-wide learning activities are also arranged which enhance students’ learning experience outside the school in different contexts. Development of the Four Key Tasks: Lessons are conducted with the use of multimedia equipment. E-learning is promoted to provide students with different learning materials. Students’ reading habit is nurtured by the implementation of a cross-curriculum reading scheme. Participating in cross-subject projects is a way to promote students’ generic skills. Project work in the junior forms is designed to help prepare students for the ‘Independent Enquiry Studies’ of the NSS Liberal Studies. A committee of Moral Civic and National Education is responsible for organising activities to suit the needs of students at their different stages of development. “Love and Caring” is the highlight of the committee of Moral Civic and National Education. Through organising talks, it is expected that all Kowloontongers are able to raise their awareness of their surroundings. Activities like ‘Caring Fund’, ‘The Whole Class Feat’ and ‘Classroom Cleaning Scheme’ are organised in order to cultivate students’ sense of civic responsibility. In the academic year 2018 – 2019, our school was awarded the Outstanding Award from the “3rd Outstanding Teaching Award for Moral Education”. Our effort has been recognised. Life Planning Education: Various kinds of careers and life planning activities are conducted according to the theme in each form, including individual and personal guidance which meets students’ individual needs. The School-based curriculum has designed for both junior and senior form students to help them set up individual goals and develop their own strengths. In junior forms, class teachers periods and workshops have been arranged to help students understand the ideas of career planning. There are also activities like talks about Senior Secondary subject choice, sharing of former students, career aptitude tests and individual consultation. These aim at guiding students to make the right subject choice. In senior forms, career talks, F.6 mock DSE result release activity, a visit to tertiary institutions etc. are arranged for students. Some students also participate in the summer programmes organised by different tertiary institutions.

Student Support Whole School Approach to Catering for Learner Diversity: There is whole-school involvement in guiding and disciplining students; professional development is provided to enable teachers to identify and handle cases of learning diversity. A duo form teacher system is implemented from F.1 to F.5. Every F.1 student has a personal talk with the school social worker or guidance teacher so as to give students sense of ‘going along together’. Form meetings are conducted to discuss matters concerning the same form. Policies have been established to assist students with special educational needs. Special grants provided by the EDB help cater for the needs of these students. Lessons on the teaching of life and society have been arranged for all junior form students starting from the year 2018/2019.

With great motivation to learn, our students become self-directed learners who can think critically and read extensively. We encourage students to develop various generic skills. These strategies have been proved highly effective by the tremendous improvements all these years in HKDSE. By encouraging participation in inter-school activities and competitions and organizing outbound excursions, we widen our students’ horizons and exposure to the world beyond the classroom. School-based Curriculum: 1. Electives: 2X and 3X. Our school provides 11 subjects in Science, Arts, Commerce and Mathematics Extended Part Module I for our NSS students. Students are allocated to different electives according to their interest and ability in those subjects. 2. Curriculum highlights: A school-based curriculum "True Light Bearer Course" has been developed for junior forms. The Content and Language Integrated Learning, "CLIL", is introduced in S.1 to help students learn content subjects in English. English Literary Module has been put into the curriculum. Reading across Curriculum is promoted in junior forms where students read subject-related texts with follow-up work. Cross-curricular modules are also developed. Cross-curricular projects such as English musicals and Big Sale Day are set up. Study tours enable students to learn about different cultures. iPads and online learning platforms are adopted in most subjects in our school. The Chinese Language Department has developed a school-based e-learning platform sponsored by QEF for junior forms. Interactive whiteboards are installed in regular classrooms. Multi-media classrooms have also been upgraded. Development of the Four Key Tasks: We adopt a “learning, thinking, showing and reviewing” approach across the curriculum, encouraging students to develop various thinking skills and resort to graphic organizers for more logical flow of ideas. Exploratory and problem-solving elements are incorporated into the curriculum such as debating skills in Chinese Language, View to Views in English Language, and various cross-curricular projects. Gifted education is as well a focal point where we adopt the "Sight, Heart, Mind" Approach. Other learning activities including Inter-House Quiz and Bilingual Youth Forum can also develop students into self-directed learners on top of myriads of learning support focusing on self-directed learning skills and habits in formal and informal curricula. Life Planning Education: In order to provide the most updated and tailor-made career guidance for our students, the following measures are adopted. Regular lessons are scheduled to provide students with insights into their career development to help students understand themselves. We have established strong partnership with alumnae and NGOs so that our students have good understanding about the challenging needs of different sectors nowadays. Life planning counselling is provided. Careers and class teachers give advice to students individually and in groups, in which their career development problems and needs are identified for finding, developing and reviewing their personal plans and career goals. We have strategic planning for us to collect, update and organize all kinds of career information effectively to support students in making important decisions, e.g. prioritizing choices in JUPAS. Hence, a very high proportion of our graduates are given an offer in degree programs at local universities and tertiary institutions. Student Support Whole School Approach to Catering for Learner Diversity: As for intellectual development, which appears in regular lessons and pull-out programs. The focus lies on enquiry-based, problem-based and product-based learning, where various thinking skills come into play: critical thinking, creative thinking, analytical thinking and decision making skills. Research skills for both quantitative (questionnaire) and qualitative (interview) studies are involved, aside from the ability of literature review and information processing. There are two categories of pull-out training: course-based and team-based, coached by either school teachers or instructors from renowned institutes. Of all items that involve intellectual training, reflection is an element for students to develop moral cultivation, for serving others with one’s strengths is what we promote. Homogeneous groupings in various subject enable subject panels (Chinese, English, Mathematics and Liberal Studies) to adjust curriculum, homework policy, pedagogy, assessment, feedback and extended learning in order to maximize the effectiveness of learning and teaching. For instance, there is an accelerated curriculum in high-achiever group in S.3 Mathematics, where problem-solving modules and the content of M1 in senior secondary are introduced. As for students who need more support academically, revision classes in Chinese, English and Mathematics are held after school for the lower achievers. Whole School Approach to Integrated Education: As in the last few years, the whole-school approach was employed to cater for the diverse special needs of students. Coordinated by the Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCO) and assisted by the School Social Worker, Educational Psychologist and all teachers, various group activities were organized for SEN students. Individual learning plans were mapped out for some. Having been identified as having special education needs, with hearing impairment or other SEN problems, those students have special support from the school. Taught by qualified teachers with SEN training and given extra time in their examinations, they can gain confidence in a normal learning environment at school. Education Support for Non-Chinese Speaking (NCS) Students: Our school provides additional support for NCS students to facilitate their learning of Chinese: organising cultural integration activities. Our school provides additional support for non-Chinese speaking students to facilitate their learning of Chinese including language skills training, peer-to-peer learning, story reading, Chinese language adaptation courses, after-school Chinese study groups and Chinese Culture appreciation. The classes are conducted by teachers and teaching materials are well-prepared. Measures to provide adaptation for Learning and Assessment: There is continual assessment during lessons, daily assessment, projects, tests and examinations. The format and the level of difficulty of the questions in senior forms have to follow that of the public examination. The S.6 Pre-Mock Examination to revise the 3-year curriculum in the Summer Holiday before the new term starts. In addition, extended classes in Chinese, English, Mathematics and electives are provided according to students of different ability groups throughout the whole year. After the 1st term examination, every subject panel will evaluate the performance of the students, and teachers will accordingly adjust their teaching strategies. The school promotion policy and streaming policy are implemented based on students' performance across various subjects. The use of a self evaluation template after the 1st examination encourages students to think about the focal points of each assessment and what they are required to do to improve their performance. Home-School Co-operation and School Ethos Home-School Co-operation: The Kowloon True Light School Parent-Teacher Association was officially established in 1961. All the parents of our students are members. The KTLPTA aims at promoting communication between parents and the school as well as fostering cordial relations between parents and teachers and among the parents themselves. A wide range of activities, such as seminars and forums on developing parental education, are organized. In 2012, the Parent Institute was established. It is a certificate course, providing spiritual education to parents. Apart from studying God's words from the Bible, parents learn to put Jesus's teaching into life practice. Hopefully, when they can nurture their children with better communication, they can all be role models for their children. It is also believed that close co-operation and mutual support between home and school will help our girls grow and develop into responsible adults with positive values. School Ethos: The Student Affairs Committee, with the help of all class teachers, organizes different activities to develop students' personal qualities. They will become very motivated to learn, work with peers and serve others. Hence, they can develop their sense of belonging to school through the following activities: 1. Class activities: Students can form their class committee and develop class spirit through different functions. After designing their class motto, they organize different activities to put it into practice. They can even decorate their home classroom according to their motto. 2. Life Planning Education is conducted in all forms for further study or career choice. 3. There is Buzzing Time for class teachers to give counselling to students individually or in groups. Students can share their opinions with the Principal through "Letters to the Principal". 4. Leadership Training: The leadership skills are enhanced in some leadership training camps and through organizing different activities. 5. Schemes like Personal Growth Camp, evangelistic sharings, morning and school assemblies all help students' moral and spiritual development. 6. Form Councils and Sister-forms hold various activities for students to enhance their relationships. 7. There is a "Apex League Programme" to help elites excel both academically and non-academically. Future Development School Development Plan: 1. To develop students into self-directed learners in a knowledge-based learning atmosphere. 2. To nurture students’ positive values through creating a positive school culture. 3. To foster collaborative learning of the teaching team within and beyond the school. Teacher Professional Training and Development: To build a professional learning community is always our concern. Here are our strategies: 1. To collect teachers' comments to raise teaching effectiveness in lesson study and professional learning sharing (PLS) meetings; 2. To run professional development activities related to the major concerns of this year, i.e. SDL and Positive Thinking; 3. To encourage more subject-based collaboration and cross-curricular collaboration for school-based development; 4. To encourage the study of teaching methodology for developing future curriculum planners through PL core group; 5. To have better liaison with external parties to explore new pedagogy; 6. To collaborate with education institutes for enhancing professional quality of the teaching staff. Life-wide Learning (including Five Essential Learning Experiences to be provided through Key Learning Areas, Extra-curricular Activities, Co-curricular Activities, etc.) To meet our aim of whole person development, we offer a rich curriculum and a wide range of extra-curricular activities to cater for individual interest. There is a wide variety of cross-border services, exchange programmes, historical excursions, multi-intelligence programmes, joint school functions, leadership training and camping. To develop leadership skills, Student Union, Student Fellowship, School Ambassador Schemes are run by students to foster their sense of belonging to the school.

Apart from participating in the local service work, students will explore the rural life in China and do meaningful voluntary work to help more people in different regions. 5. Religion: Students use their talents to organize activities and services, like Christmas Carolling, performing in religious musical dramas, visiting the elderly as well as participating in summer camp. School Facilities School Facilities: All classrooms are well equipped with visualizers, computers, projectors and computer nodes, together with an abundance of IT resources. We have installed new electronic white boards and renewed other IT facilities in every classroom. We have renovated the school hall, the court-yard, the library, the multi-media room, the performing arts centre and the De Xin Academy (Chinese Culture Centre). Apart from purchasing iPads for teaching, we have also installed a high quality audio-visual system in our school hall so that our students can use special effects in various performances.

Amongst the club's various activities are class visits to discuss means of environmental conservation, recycling campaigns, planting programmes organized by the LCSD and video shows related to environmental issues. In addition, students can join the Green Ambassador Scheme to help implement our School Green Policy. Learning and Teaching Plan Whole-school Language Policy: All classes apart from Chinese Language, Chinese History and Putonghua are conducted in English. Learning and Teaching Strategies: We have clear-cut objectives and policies for fashioning a curriculum in line with the school's vision and mission, and with the intellectual, spiritual, psychological, emotional and physical needs of our students. We provide our students with different learning experiences as an integral part of education for the whole person. Our curriculum is balanced, comprehensive and multi-faceted and caters for a broad range of abilities and needs. We have different timetables to accommodate our diverse, cross-curricular and extended learning activities, particularly those designed to promote civic and moral education. School-based Curriculum: 1. Electives: 2X and 3X. Economics, Geography, History, Chinese History, Literature in English, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Information & Computer Technology, Business, Accounting & Financial Studies, Visual Arts & Music 2. Curriculum highlights: We have Extended Learning Programme, Project-Based Learning Programme in S1 & STEM Education Programme in S.1 and S2. Development of the Four Key Tasks: Students' critical thinking skills and creativity are improved through classroom discussion and project work. A reading session is built into our Monday to Thursday regular timetable. The school also runs an on-line reading programme for Chinese and English books. Each student also keeps a reading profile for the books she has read. There is also a Reading Ambassador Scheme. Life Planning Education: We use a whole-school approach in offering Careers and Life Planning. Student Support Whole School Approach to Catering for Learner Diversity: To help our students with character formation, we adopt a whole school approach involving religious and moral education, the homeroom period, guidance provided by a full-time social worker, in-house educational and clinical psychological services, the careers committee and the pastoral care core group (members include representatives from the Homeroom Teachers' Committee, Counselling Committee, Character Building Committee and the Prefect Board). Whole School Approach to Integrated Education: The Student Support Team in our school provides support to both gifted students, and students identified with special educational needs (SEN). It seeks to nurture everyone’s talents in different disciplines. This is achieved through collaboration with different parties, including teachers, parents, the Counselling Committee, school social workers, educational psychologists, clinical psychologists and speech therapists. Some other specific school-based measures in supporting everyone’s learning are: early identification of students with SEN, examination accommodation, assignment adjustment, and individual education plan. These are partly funded by the Learning Support Grant, and Diversity Learning Grant. In particular, each student identified with SEN is assigned to the SENCO, who meets regularly with both the learner and their parents to consider the effectiveness of teaching and learning. Education Support for Non-Chinese Speaking (NCS) Students: Our school provides additional support for NCS students to facilitate their learning of Chinese: providing after-school support programmes in learning Chinese; appointing additional teacher(s)/teaching assistant(s) to support NCS students’ learning of Chinese; arranging intensive Chinese learning and teaching mode(s), e.g. pull-out learning if necessary, split-class/group learning, etc.; developing school-based Chinese Language curriculum and/or adapting learning and teaching materials; organising cultural integration activities; and hiring additional manpower and/or translation/interpretation services to facilitate the communication with parents. Measures to provide adaptation for Learning and Assessment: We administer a midyear and a final examination every school year, supplemented by tests and quizzes. Our method of assessment takes into consideration both a student's written assignments and her performance in class. Home-School Co-operation and School Ethos Home-School Co-operation: Our PTA aims to safeguard the school's mission and vision and our students' best interests through close cooperation and communication between the school management and parents. Thanks to the dedication of PTA officials past and present, the generous support and participation of parent volunteers and PTA members, the annual general meeting, the annual dinner and forums for parents have always gone well. School Ethos: We believe in education for the whole person with special emphasis on the cultivation of nobility of character. This is consistent with our motto: Sola Nobilitas Virtus. Future Development School Development Plan: School Development Plan: Please refer to our school website www.mcs.edu.hk. Teacher Professional Training and Development: Besides the annual staff development days, staff members attend courses and seminars organised by the EDB, the universities and other organisations. The School Social Workers, Education Psychologist and Speech Therapist will also organize workshops for teachers. Life-wide Learning (including Five Essential Learning Experiences to be provided through Key Learning Areas, Extra-curricular Activities, Co-curricular Activities, etc.) More than 40 extra-curricular activities groups have been set up and coordinated by the Student Association. These include academic, interests, performing arts, sports, religious and service groups. Inter-house activities are held with the cooperation of the 4 houses in school.

School Characteristics School Management School's Major Concerns: - School Management Organisation: The Executive Committee, Academic Affairs Committee, Discipline Committee, Counseling Committee, Co-curricular Activities Committee, Careers Committee, Information Technology and Resources Committee, Subject Panels and other working and standing committees are responsible for formulating and implementing strategies to achieve the school goals. Incorporated Management Committee / School Management Committee / Management Committee: The Incorporated Management Committee of Munsang College School Green Policy: With an aim to advocate healthy, eco-friendly and sustainable living to the community, the school has organized various activities to promote organic farming and ecological conservation. In the course of community services, our students have learnt to share love and contribute to the betterment of the society. Besides, conservation of energy, recycling and reduction of waste production are the key issues of our school green policy. Learning and Teaching Plan Whole-school Language Policy: English is the major medium of instruction in school (except Chinese Language, Chinese History, Religious Studies (Christianity), Life Enrichment and Putonghua). To prepare our students to be global citizens, we train them to be trilingual and biliterate. Since 1926, Putonghua has already been incorporated into the formal curriculum. In order to promote the students' interest in learning languages as well as raising their communication skills, they are encouraged to participate in the Speech Festivals. The Native English Speaking Teacher (NET) and language teachers organized various activities, e.g. English Monday, to enhance the English proficiency of our students. Teachers of subjects using English as the medium of instruction also collaborate to develop common language across curriculum. Learning and Teaching Strategies: We provide students with a lively and well-equipped learning environment to nurture their moral and intellectual development, and foster their sense of responsibility and willingness to serve. Also, we develop students' potential in independent thinking and creativity in a liberal learning atmosphere. Different subject panels organize various co-curricular activities or competitions to motivate students to learn, enhance their study and leadership skills, and develop their ability to work independently. Through interactive learning and teaching, students' interest and motivation in learning are enhanced. Besides learning from textbooks, more emphasis is placed on promoting the high order thinking skills of our students. Learning strategies such as goal setting, reflection, pre-lesson preparation, note-taking and teachers' modelling of applying metacognitive skills in learning, self assessment and peer assessment are adopted to cultivate students' awareness and abilities in self-directed learning. School-based Curriculum: 1. Electives: 2X, 3X and 4X. By using block timetabling, it is flexible for students to have different combinations of electives. They are allowed to choose electives from different key learning areas, which include Science, PSHE, Technology and Aesthetic Development. 2. Curriculum highlights: Life and Society courses are offered to all junior form students. A student-centred, issue-enquiry approach is adopted for learning and teaching in this subject. It aims to broaden students’ knowledge base and enhance their social awareness through the study of a wide range of issues. Besides, Business and Economics has been introduced to F.3 students since 2011 - 2012. It is based on the three curricula, namely NSS BAFS, NSS Economics and Life and Society (F.1 – 3). All the teaching and learning materials are developed through the collaboration of our experienced teachers and for a better preparation of our students in their studies in senior curriculum. In 2016/17, a school-based course, Life Enrichment, is offered to F.1 and F.2 students. Study skills, information literacy, career and life planning, personal financial planning and value education are included in this course. Development of the Four Key Tasks: Subjects and committees have already implemented the Four Key Tasks in their curriculum and activities. Moral and Civic Education is promoted through Form periods, lessons and activities. Students are required to set reading goals and manage their reading portfolios. Library Committee coordinates with different parties to organize various activities such as book talks, book display, reading award scheme and storytelling in reading periods so as to cultivate students' reading habits. Cross subject collaboration projects are implemented from F.1 to F.2. Project learning skills are taught in Life and Society and Life Enrichment classes. Students are encouraged to be active and responsible learners and to make use of the online resources. Life Planning Education: Munsang College upholds the value of nurturing our students with positive outlook towards life, learning and work. Fostering students’ self-understanding and exploration of education and career options, life planning education, career intervention programmes and personal career counselling service are implemented. This holistic support aligns with students’ developmental needs and echoes to the college’s framework of value and attitude education, helping students to integrate their aspirations into whole-person development and make informed choices for further study and future career. Partnering programmes with non-governmental organisations, business sector and alumni are also arranged to instil positive learning and work attitudes in students and develop their generic and employability skills, helping them to compose their personal repertoire with confidence and character. Student Support Whole School Approach to Catering for Learner Diversity: There have been trainings for gifted students to stretch their potentials in Chinese, English, Mathematics, Liberal Studies, Integrated Science, Information & Communication Technology and Physics. Before the second term examinations, the F.1 to F.3 low achievers are provided with remedial teaching in Chinese, English and Mathematics. Various remedial programmes are offered to selected students to improve their skills in learning and examinations. Whole School Approach to Integrated Education: Our school adopts a whole school approach to cater for the special needs of students. We provide relevant and diversified services to enhance students’ learning efficiency and assist them to adapt the school life through Capacity Enhancement Grant, Learning Support Grant and other resources in the community. Our staff including vice-principal, SEN Coordinator, teachers of Counselling Committee, school social workers, educational psychologist and teaching assistant collaborate and coordinate with other functional teams within the school. We make use of various opportunities to identify the special needs of students, provide them with appropriate support services based on their special needs and the feedback from different types of stakeholders. For example, teaching assistant provides after-school tutorials to the students under the guidance of teachers; school social workers and educational psychologist offer developmental groups in enhancing students’ social skills and self-management skills; speech therapist provides workshops for students with SEN on an individual basis or a group basis; teachers of Counselling Committee collaborate with special schools to arrange social service. Our school establishes a regular communication mechanism with parents to let them understand the special needs of students, encourage them to discuss and review the progress of service support strategies. Measures to provide adaptation for Learning and Assessment: For F.1-F.5, there are two examinations. For F.6, there is only one Mock Examination. Besides, students are provided feedback on their performance through continuous assessment in each term. The Term Marks of each subject include the daily marks and examination marks. Home-School Co-operation and School Ethos Home-School Co-operation: All teachers and parents are members of the Parent-Teacher Association. The Association is actively promoting home-school co-operation and in full support of activities and conservation measures launched by our school. This year, interest classes, fund-raising programme, parent talk, volunteer work, parent-child tour and parent workshop will be organized to promote the Munsang College Parental Centre. School Ethos: The Student Affairs Office is responsible for the provision of “Student Support Services”. The Discipline Committee implements various measures to train students to be well-behaved and to foster their sense of responsibility. The Counselling Committee, school social workers and educational psychologist closely co-operate with the community to help students in need and to hold various counselling activities, talks and growth development services. Through the Student Association, six houses, and co-curricular activity groups, the Co-curricular Activity Committee helps developing students’ organization and leadership skills, supporting them to excel in their areas of interest. In addition, the committees work collaboratively in honing students’ self-management and resilience skills, and nurturing students’ global citizenship and awareness of national and global issues. In the College, students have a strong sense of belonging to the school and participate actively in various activities. Similarly, teachers form a harmonious team and demonstrate keen collaboration. Parents trust the school and appreciate the simplicity of our school’s culture. They play an active role in expressing their opinions to the school, whereas the school cares about their feedback on school policies.

Development of the Four Key Tasks: 1. Learning through reading: Our school adopts a whole-school approach to promote reading. Apart from having reading schemes with awards, we also organize reading sharing talks and seminars. Our reading policy includes (a) New Asia reading festival (b) the collaboration between the library and different subjects to promote extensive reading (c) lunch time reading sessions (d) the setting up of a reading corner in every class. 2. Project learning: For S.1, students' ability to learn through projects is nurtured through Liberal Studies. For S.2, students are divided into small groups to finish a project through field trips, experiments, interviews and so on under supervision of Humanities, Integrated Science teachers. For S.3, Liberal Studies requires each student to complete a research proposal in order to their independence. 3. Interactive learning through information and technology: There are eclassrooms for every subject in our e-learning platform. Mathematics, Basic Accounting, Humanities and Integrated Science have set up learning platforms on the internet. 100 iPads have been brought for online pedagogical uses, sharing, discussions and interactions. Life Planning Education: Aims at helping students to understand themselves, clarify their value system, become more confident, set up goals and reflect so as to make reasonable self-requests and to raise self-effectiveness. Another objective is to enhance students' understanding of various situations in the working world and different paths for further studies and career development so as to set up their life goals earlier and work hard to achieve them. Career and Life Planning, on the one hand, directs students to acquire, based on their interests and ability, the knowledge, skills and attitudes needed for making appropriate decisions in further studies or career development and, on the other, links up studies, life goals and whole-person development with life learning. Also, students will be reminded that life planning is hot a once-and-for-all process. To achieve expected effectiveness, repetition of things are necessary to strengthen ideas. Student Support Whole School Approach to Catering for Learner Diversity: 1. Class teachers play the role of discipline master and counsellor to take care of students' conduct and growth as well as to help them set up learning goals and strategies; 2. Students are divided into learning groups in some subjects (English, Chinese and Mathematics) so that comprehensive teaching and thorough care can be carried out; 3. There are enhancement and remedial classes and different kinds of external competitions for students to join after school. Whole School Approach to Integrated Education: Using ‘Learning Support Grant’ flexibly, our school increased more manpower. With the whole school approach, all teaching staff are involved to implement integrated education to provide students with appropriate and diversified support services, to enhance their learning effectiveness and their engagement in school life. The Student Support Team (SST) consists of vice-principal, counseling mistress, SENCO, educational psychologist and teachers. There are collaboration works with other teams/subjects, for example, the counseling team’s ‘Healthy School Policy’ and the career guidance team’s ‘Life Planning’, to cater for the needs of students with SEN. The main duties of the SST include gaining educational psychologist’s curriculum adaptation and teaching support, offering and monitoring speech therapy services, and providing learning, assignment and assessment adjustment for students with SEN. Education Support for Non-Chinese Speaking (NCS) Students: Our school provides additional support for NCS students to facilitate their learning of Chinese: providing after-school support programmes in learning Chinese; and organising cultural integration activities.

We provide different opportunities to cater for the diverse language needs and abilities of our students. English is adopted as the medium of instruction in some non-language subjects in some classes, as total immersion, to pave the way for students to the Senior Secondary Curriculum and to future studies. In the same way, Chinese is adopted as the medium of instruction to students who benefit most from it while extended learning activities are added to stretch their English potential. To enrich every student’s exposure to English, there are various fun-filled activities to cultivate a language rich environment and a Drama-in-Education junior curriculum has been implemented to promote students’ interests to learn English in an experiential and creative manner. Learning and Teaching Strategies: 1. We endeavour to cultivate reading habits in our students, conducive to their life-long learning. There are a wide variety of reading activities such as Reading Periods, Book Displays, Reading Award Schemes, Book Sharing Activities from writers, students and teachers, Best Book Recommendations, The Readers Club, and The On-line Reading Platform to promote the reading culture. 2.

Beyond the classrooms, different activities are held to enhance students’ learning abilities and effectiveness. Alumni with top DSE scores or with successful experience from studies and work are invited to give advice to current students.

Development of the Four Key Tasks: 1. Our school uses different assessment strategies to address the different abilities of students to promote assessment for learning and provide challenges for top students. 2. Through Diverse Learning Grant, gifted students are provided with learning programmes offered by academic bodies.

Whole School Approach to Integrated Education: Student Support Team members include Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCO), the head of the counselling team, the panel heads of Chinese Language and English Language, two teaching assistants, a student counsellor, a social worker and an educational psychologist. Our school utilises the "Learning Support Grant" to let teachers adopt the "Whole-Schools Approach" model. The grant is used to employ a student counsellor and two teaching assistants. The purpose is to support teachers in handling SEN students to reduce SEN students’ learning barriers and cope with their emotions. The grant is also used to purchase professional services for the SEN students concerned such as Chinese literacy training, group training on concentration, speech therapy and cognitive-emotional behavioral therapy, etc. In regard to student personal growth and emotional support, Student Support Team holds a group about stress management and Drama Club.

Native English speakers are hired to teach students drama and poetry appreciation, while our EDB NET teacher teaches public speaking. We provide an English learning environment in assemblies, after school and in many activities for students to use English.

Now we focus our attention on developing learning and teaching strategies that are compatible with the curriculum reform, and will take a step further in enhancing the academic achievement of the students by developing them as responsible learners and promoting a learning culture in school.

Academic support: We have been providing after-school individual homework tutorials for junior form SEN students and subject-based tutorials for senior form SEN students. Differentiated learning materials and examination accommodations are provided to students who have special educational needs.

To ensure the quality of Student Support Team’s programmes, the process of PIE, planning, implementation and evaluation is employed to regularly review the effectiveness of the support services. Measures to provide adaptation for Learning and Assessment: We provide continuous assessment on students' performance in class, assignments and tests. To further evaluate the effectiveness of the assessment accommodations, we conduct exam invigilator reports for individual students for both term examinations. After studying the reports, we modify the assessment accommodations and support measures according to the evaluation results, and give constructive feedback to students so as to promote assessment as learning. Home-School Co-operation and School Ethos Home-School Co-operation: The Parent-Teacher Association has been established since 1994. Through comprehensive communication channels including bi-weekly parents’ letters, the school has a good relationship with the parents.

School Characteristics School Management School's Major Concerns: Life Education Plus, Effective Learning, A Purpose Driven Life. School Management Organisation: Implementing school-based management, Pui Ching Middle School has established various departments, including Christian ministries (monitoring Life Education), academic affairs (including academics as well as further education and career counseling), disciplinary affairs (including discipline, counseling and civic education), extra-curricular activities, general affairs, information technology, alumni and liaison with parents, and so on. Incorporated Management Committee / School Management Committee / Management Committee: The Board of Directors mainly comprises professionals and alumni. They provide the school with professional guidance and financial support. School Green Policy: The green campus facilitates environmental learning in students, teaching them to protect the environment and respect life. Learning and Teaching Plan Whole-school Language Policy: To increase teaching and learning effectiveness, the school adopts Chinese as the medium of instruction. Cantonese is used in most lessons while Putonghua is used in Chinese lessons in junior forms. However, we have never undermined the importance of English. Pui Ching adopts the advanced English curriculum so students would have better education and career prospects. Each 3 regular classes are divided into elite, normal and/or remedial classes and are taught by 4 teachers. Besides, English textbooks are used in the subjects of Mathematics, Science, Information Technology and Liberal Studies (elite), so as to equip students with the skills to process English reference materials, so that they can learn better via the Internet. Learning and Teaching Strategies: Students are encouraged to learn how to learn and to learn actively with the help of IT. The school makes use of the information highway to usher students into the digitalized learning environment. We also try to create a learner-centered school setting by organizing project learning and interdisciplinary learning schemes, so as to allow space for students to think and develop creativity. In order to develop students' reading interest and habit, the school launches extensive reading schemes for the Chinese and English subjects respectively. From F.1 to F.3, all subjects are compulsory so as to lay a good foundation for students. There will be various elite classes in different KLAs for the more capable students. School-based Curriculum: 1. Electives: 2X and 3X. Provide Mathematics Extended Part Module 1 and Module 2 as electives. 2. Curriculum highlights: Provide a wider spectrum of courses in the core discipline and elective subjects. F.4 students can select up to three elective subjects and extended Mathematics module for Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education, while F.5 and F.6 students can select two or three elective subjects and extended Mathematics module. Development of the Four Key Tasks: Special administrative staffs are appointed to co-ordinate each of the four key tasks. Life education, combining moral education, civic education and Christian teachings, is under the official junior curriculum to bring up students as upright and respectable individuals. Encourage students to read every morning, so as to increase their knowledge and language ability. Information Technology is adopted to facilitate global learning, mobile learning, collaborative learning and action learning. Life Planning Education: Our school is adopting life planning education starting from junior forms up till senior forms; in junior forms we usually implement such education during life education lessons, while in senior forms we carry it out during life education lessons, class teacher lessons, extra-curricular activities and assemblies. Besides classroom activities, group and individual counselling and career talks, our school has been organising the ‘Life Planning Growth Camp’, evening sessions for understanding more about the career field, alumni network programmes and visits to overseas tertiary institutions, etc. These activities aim to strengthen the self-concepts of our students, and assist them in exploring their own career paths and knowing more about their future prospects. Student Support Whole School Approach to Catering for Learner Diversity: The school provides individual assessments for students with special physical and psychological needs. Academic streaming is adopted to cater to students' varying levels of ability. Students are assigned to different elite classes and/or remedial classes according to their academic progress. Whole School Approach to Integrated Education: From the 2019/20, the school will designate a SENCO to lead a Student Support Team. The Team includes the Counselling Master / Mistress, the Prefect of Studies, SENTs, social workers, educational psychologists and representatives from Chinese, English and Mathematics departments. With that, the school will provide different on-campus and off-campus support services based on professional assessment reports.

The school will also hold case meetings for students with special needs to explain the needs of the students to teachers and parents, undergo negotiations and follow up the relevant cases. The team will work closely with the subject departments and the class teachers to support those in need.

The school will use the Learning Support Grant (LSG) to hire a number of professional services. In addition, regular art therapy sessions are held to allow students to relieve their stress. The school will also provide academic-based support for students who have been approved for special examination arrangements. The Support Team will also help to develop individual study plans for students in need, and if they are assessed to be eligible for special examination arrangements, the school will not only provide internal adjustments but help to apply for public exam adjustments.

All reports will be filed by the Team and the information will be kept confidential and restricted to relevant persons. The school will encourage and nominate suitable teachers to participate in relevant training courses as recommended by EDB.

The school attaches great importance to the home-school collaboration and hope to establish a permanent communication mechanism to discuss and review the strategies for supporting students through means such as meetings with parents and telephone calls. Measures to provide adaptation for Learning and Assessment: The school conducts successive assessment throughout the school year. In normal school days, teachers flexibly design homework and assessment schemes for their classes according to their academic level. This may reinforce students to work hard. Besides, there are two uniform exams per year to evaluate the whole form with one standardized scale, so that we can make an objective assessment on students' learning effectiveness. Home-School Co-operation and School Ethos Home-School Co-operation: The Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) constantly holds talks and activities to facilitate communication and cooperation between parents and the school as well as to equip parents with skills to teach their children in an effective way. School Ethos: Life Education: in order to develop students into self-disciplined, respectful individuals, the school insists on life education, which makes use of disciplinary strategies followed by moral teachings. Whole-Person Education: the school sets up the Pui Ching Spirit Award Scheme to encourage student development in moral, intellectual, physical, social, aesthetic, and spiritual domains. In the end of each academic year, we would give out diamond, gold, silver and bronze awards to students with outstanding performance in accordance with their records. Future Development School Development Plan: The school seeks to build up an active English learning environment. We encourage students to communicate in English outside class to develop listening and oral skills. Students also have the opportunity to interact with native English-speaking students on the Internet with online projects. In junior forms, the school will continue the "Life Education Project" to empower students with correct moral values. Teacher Professional Training and Development: To improve teaching quality, the school arranges a staff development day yearly. There are also monthly whole-staff meetings in which talks by professionals or interactive activities are held. Life-wide Learning (including Five Essential Learning Experiences to be provided through Key Learning Areas, Extra-curricular Activities, Co-curricular Activities, etc.) There are more than 50 extra-curricular organizations or groups in the school, including religious groups, academic groups, interests clubs, music societies, sports teams, social service groups and student societies, etc. Students may participate in any of them based on their interests and desires.

School Characteristics School Management School's Major Concerns: 1. Improve learning and teaching effectiveness through assessment for learning. 2. Promote positive education to nurture positive Rhenishers. School Management Organisation: The Incorporated Management Committee, the School Executive Committee and the School Improvement & Development Committee are set up to play a leading role in the school’s sustainable development. There are other committees such as academic affairs, general affairs and student affairs committees responsible for different school matters, too. Incorporated Management Committee / School Management Committee / Management Committee: Please refer to our school website. School Green Policy: Based on 3R- principle (Reduce, Reuse and Recycle), our school aims to create a green campus and foster students’ and teachers’ environmental awareness with a whole school approach through environmental development, environmental management and different kinds of activities. Learning and Teaching Plan Whole-school Language Policy: The aim of our school is for our students to be biliterate and trilingual. English and Chinese split-class teaching is implemented in all levels. A "Saturday English Programme" and an online platform "Reading Assistant" are specially designed for S.1 students focusing on English listening and speaking skills. At junior forms, English is adopted as the medium of instruction for Mathematics (S.1 to S.3) and Computer Literacy (S.1 to S.3). Extended Learning Activities (ELA) is conducted in order to increase students’ exposure to English across a broad range of subjects. Putonghua is taught in S.1 and S.2. Outside the classroom, a wide variety of activities like Language Week, English Drama and English Activity Days are organized. Students are also encouraged to submit articles as newspaper contributions and enter speech competitions. The native English-speaking teacher conducts oral activities, and support the development of a school-based curriculum. Online learning platforms like E-library and Google Classroom promote self-learning. Learning and Teaching Strategies: 1. We adopt a student-oriented approach which emphasizes teacher-student and student-student interaction. This facilitates enquiry-based and self-directed learning. Individual needs are catered for through diverse teaching strategies and various remedial and enhancement measures. 2. Each subject panel is committed to helping students practise good learning habits and develop high-order thinking skills. Cross-curricular collaboration is promoted. We hope all these will facilitate students’ effective construction of knowledge. 3. Self-directed learning is promoted. Through the online learning platforms and an electronic resource bank, students learn to plan and implement their personal goals. School-based Curriculum: 1. Electives: 2X. Students can choose elective subjects according to their individual strengths and interests. 2. Curriculum highlights: Based on students’ diverse educational needs, we have designed our own school-based curriculum. It includes S.1 Arts Education, whole-school Religious Studies (Christianity) and Moral & Civic Education. Development of the Four Key Tasks: 1. Reading programmes: Our school is committed to promoting reading. We run a ‘Morning Reading Session’ and an ‘Extended Reading Programme’ to cultivate good reading habits. Reading programmes are therefore integrated into the school-based curriculum. Articles covering a broad range of topics are selected by all subject teachers and a school-based cross-curricular reading booklet is compiled. 2. Using IT to Facilitate Interactive Learning: Our school has a Multi-media Learning Centre and a computer room for students to use. The newly established e-learning platform, the tablets and the extensive Wi-Fi coverage on campus all work towards enhancing communication and interaction between teachers and students. This will surely bring about more effective learning and teaching.Starting this year, the school will advance the BYOD Scheme. In addition to gradually increasing students' participation in the classroom, it also breaks through the time and space constraints of the classroom and enhances self-directed learning. Moreover, it allows teachers more effective in assessment for learning and feedback to students for learning. 3. Moral and Civic Education: Our school focuses on cultivating students' character, enhancing their sense of citizenship and responsibility, making them literate citizens and laying a solid foundation for their future social standing. Through weekly assembly, courses, experiential learning and community services, these events enable students to recognize themselves and establish a sense of identity. This also enhances the attributes of empathy, caring for the society and sense of responsibility. We hope that they will be able to take up greater social responsibilities in the future. Life Planning Education: The school values life planning. We help students understand themselves, plan their future methodically and reflect on life experiences. In Junior Secondary, we teach students to set goals and plan ahead on their lives since S.1. For instance, we organise life planning workshops for Junior Secondary students as a lead for self-understanding on interests and talents. We also organise mock elective subjects selection, model life planning and other activities, along with talks for parents to help our S.3 students choose suitable elective subjects. In Senior Secondary, through career aptitude tests, life planning camps, workshops, talks and other activities, we let students learn about diverse life paths and set goals to plan ahead for further studies and career development. Work placements, workplace tours and professional mentorship schemes are also organised to let our students have a taste of the workplace and explore career paths. We have been implementing a school-wide mentorship scheme, with class teachers acting as students’ mentors. Mentors meet students regularly to listen to their thoughts and share experience to guide students on their journey to achieve their goals, helping them prepare for their future systematically. Moreover, we invite alumni to be friends of the younger brothers and sisters, share life experiences and work experiences with them, and offer advice and support on their road of learning and growth. Student Support Whole School Approach to Catering for Learner Diversity: 1. For Chinese, Mathematics and English, groupings of students of diverse needs are arranged in all forms. 2. For different subjects, enhancement and remedial classes are organized to enhance students’ learning effectiveness. English speaking and listening training courses are organized for all S.1 students on Saturday mornings. 3. Students from various forms are nominated to attend different gifted programmes. Elite students in junior forms are invited to auditions and training sessions under “Team Tenacious.” The team offers diversified enhancement programmes, as well as arranging internal and external school activities and overseas study tours. Whole School Approach to Integrated Education: Student Support Team is led by the Vice Principal and the main members include core subjects teachers, heads of counselling and discipline division, social worker, counsellor and administrative assistant. The Learning Support Grant is used to acquire individual and group counselling services, arrange after-school homework classes to help students to improve their learning and social skills. Members of the Student Support Team will review the learning progress and teaching objectives of students regularly. In addition, each subject panel will set assessment paper with appropriate levels of difficulties in order to cater for learner diversity. The Student Support Team will also assess the needs of special educational training for teachers and arrange them to receive relevant training systematically. Through planning and organizing professional development activities, we hope to help teachers to understand the learning needs of students and improve their classroom management with skills in effective teaching strategies. Education Support for Non-Chinese Speaking (NCS) Students: Our school provides additional support for NCS students to facilitate their learning of Chinese: providing after-school support programmes in learning Chinese; and organising cultural integration activities. Measures to provide adaptation for Learning and Assessment: The school has formulated clear assessment policies. Apart from using uniform tests and examinations for summative assessment, diversified modes of formative assessment like regular test periods, quizzes, daily assignments and class performances have also been adopted to monitor students’ learning progress. Home-School Co-operation and School Ethos Home-School Co-operation: The Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) and the school are good partners. Our parents participate in voluntary work such as being tutors of activities and helping to reheat students’ lunch boxes. The Parent Managers support the school policies thoroughly and participate in the school management. In addition, the school also offers interest classes and lectures for parents. School Ethos: Our school has a rich Christian culture. Our students are polite, well-behaved and are recognized by parents and the community. Consistent with the philosophy of Christian education, we aim to provide each student with quality all-round education, and stress the importance of cultivating students’ virtues and values based on the Christian faith. Students are also encouraged to care for and help each other to build a healthy school community. Future Development School Development Plan: 1. Make good use of assessment statistics to better understand learning of students; 2. Refine the curriculum using the analysis of assessment statistics; 3. Enhance learning effectiveness using electronics assessment tools; 4. Nurture students' empathy, building positive relationships; 5. Enhance students' sense of competence and commitment through diversified and effective co-curricular activities; 6. Establish a good learning environment, creating a positive atmosphere. Teacher Professional Training and Development: Teachers are also encouraged to join training courses to understand the new educational trend, to improve their teaching effectiveness and counselling skills. Through lesson observation, collaborative lesson preparation and action research, our teachers have developed good team spirit and a culture of life-learning. Life-wide Learning (including Five Essential Learning Experiences to be provided through Key Learning Areas, Extra-curricular Activities, Co-curricular Activities, etc.) 1. In addition to the Student Union and the four Houses, our school offers clubs (including thirty two Other Learning Experiences clubs) covering a range of areas such as academic, cultures, social services and so on. We aim to provide diverse activities to meet students’ interests and explore their talents. 2. We also have different uniform teams and school teams. 3.

The newly-renovated school library is an excellent place for students to enjoy reading. There are special rooms to support the development of students’ diverse interests and potential: Student Activity Centre, Multi-purpose Hall, Band Room, Meeting rooms for Student Union and the Prefect Team. Moreover, there are a newly-renovated Life-Planning Room and Resource Room. Facility(ies) for Supporting Students with Special Educational Needs: Ramp and Accessible lift. Others 1.

Refining teaching materials, optimizing learning and teaching: This year, the school will greatly enhance the quality and quantity of our teaching materials, and make good use of e-learning to promote assessment for learning. In order to enhance students' confidence in learning English and to familiarize them with the English vocabulary and sentence patterns of different academic fields, the school puts more resources to optimize the interdisciplinary English course (LaC) to create a better campus English atmosphere. The school also focuses on the use of data analysis in school tests, exams and public test performance, in order to identify the strengths and weaknesses of their students in learning. Teachers can then adjust teaching strategies and activities to better suit the needs and abilities of their students and enhance the effectiveness of learning and teaching. 3. Positive Education: Consistent with the philosophy of Christian education, our school cultivates the good character of the students, explores the potential of the students, and enables the students to face the pressures and challenges in life and move towards a happy life. In recent years, Positive Education has been introduced to help students in discovering, nurturing, and utilizing their character strengths and potential, and facilitating personal development of positive elements such as optimism, joyfulness, and love; and in turn, become better equipped against stress and challenges in daily life, and ultimately lead to a flourishing life. 4. Service Learning: Our school believes that character cultivation is based on empathy, so this year we promote “Service Learning”. “Service Learning” is a holistic learning process to broaden students’ exposure and nurture their compassion and empathy by participating in social services. Aside from students’ performance during the service, we also emphasize value education in the pre-service sessions and the feedback and reflection sessions after the service. 5. Promote diversified co-curricular Activities: The school expects students to participate in a variety of joint activities, to learn from the experience of events, exchange with peers, and to observe the advanced skills of others. It is profound and impactful. The school will select activities for students based on these three principles- “Students have rare opportunities to take part in these activities” ; “There are students from other schools participating in the events” and that “There are strong experiential learning elements”. We hope that students can learn and grow in these experiences. Students are encouraged to contact and recognize different sports and broaden their horizons. The school is also keen to promote different sports to students, such as fencing and archery, to increase knowledge and enhance concentration and perseverance.

WONG, CHING YUNG School Green Policy: Lunch is prepared by our school canteen for students with provisions o f reusable cutlery. Learning and Teaching Plan Whole-school Language Policy: Since 2009 - 2010, we have fine-tuned our language policy.English is adopted as the Medium of Instruction for Maths, Integrated Science and Computer & Information Technology in some of our junior secondary classes. This policy will be evaluated regularly and gradually implemented at all levels of our Junior Secondary. This depends on the actual abilities of our students. Besides, Putonghua is currently adopted as the Medium of Instruction for Chinese Language in some Secondary 1 - 3 classes. In the near future, this policy is to be implemented to all Junior Secondary classes. Learning and Teaching Strategies: With a view to developing our School into a reading school, we make reading our school routines & regular events. e.g. S.1-S.2 Reading Festival and Daily Newspaper Reading Session. Students are exposed to global issues by reading newspapers. Once students have formed their reading habits, the school's reading culture is sustained. Through the application of Co-operative Learning in everyday lessons, the pedagogy of Teaching and Learning will be advanced and effectively facilitated. On top of the above-mentioned, we place emphasis on moral values, academic performance and whole-person development. The S.1-S.2 OLE course is one example for students to discover and cultivate their talents. School-based Curriculum: 1. Electives: 2X.

Alongside our school-tailored teaching materials, we read with students some classical Chinese literature such as Three Kingdoms, The Scholars, Strange Tales of a Lonely Studio, and Records of the Grand Historian within the lessons. We sit down with students to set their learning goals and carefully watch their learning progress. We help students build their interest in reading and learn how to read strategically, fostering them into mature language self- learners with good attitude and habits. Life Planning Education: 1. Through one-on-one counseling, group counselling, some life exploration activities and aptitude test, we consolidate our work in counselling students, helping students set their clear life goals and fulfil their dreams to study in universities. 2.

The Incorporated Management Committee introduces collective decision making in our school-based management, and give advice to the principal, most administrative policies are developed with reference to the decision made in the presence of the school-based management team, assisted by 4 management committees, namely, personnel, finance, academic and student affairs. An open, respectful, democratic and delegating school management culture is formed and teachers can share the ownership in formulating school policies.

A good example is the school-fair day setting up game-booth to promote environmental protection. Learning and Teaching Plan Whole-school Language Policy: We adopt Chinese as the medium of instruction. Recently, we have been promoting cross curriculum language learning by encouraging students to read to learn and permeating language learning through different subjects. Moreover, Putonghua is used to teach Chinese Language in one of the S1 classes. Students are grouped and taught according to their English ability in S1 and S2 English classes. Learning and Teaching Strategies: We create an initiative, harmonious, collaborative and interactive self-learning environment for students, which enhance their views and senses toward civic matters, responsibilities and service. To ensure students' learning progress is based on their own ability, grouping will be formed according to their abilities on English Language in junior secondary teaching. Project learning is carried out to enhance their learning efficiency. A new junior secondary subject, promoting STEAM education is formed which integrates the knowledge of basic technology, design and graphics. The introduction of project learning across different subjects helps students to improve learning efficacy. We develop students' critical thinking capacity by implementing sharing sections in morning assembly and class teachers’ period. Both Chinese, English and Mathematics extensive reading schemes group the students' knowledge together on both the lesson and leisure time. School-based Curriculum: 1. Electives: 2X. We provide 20 elective groups for study. 2.

Other than the 4 core curriculum subjects, namely English Language, Chinese Language, Mathematics and Liberal Studies, there are 9 electives in the curriculum. On overall planning in using available resources, we ensure the government funding is effectively distributed. The CEG has been in good use on curriculum development, which enhances students' language proficiency; coping with the diverse and special learning needs of students and school activity. For the Diversity Learning Grant (DLG), we ensure there are opportunities for every student to have a broad, balanced and all-round development. We adopt both Mode 1 and Mode 2 format on the Applied Learning Courses to cater for learners’ diversity. For career-oriented curriculum, a S.3 School-based curriculum – to cater for students who are career-orientated with 3-periods offered on every week. The curriculum includes Outdoor activities, Fashion Image Design and Jewellery Design. Fashion Image Design, has been linked to the Fashion Image Design of ApL in Secondary 4. After the completion the course in ApL, students may apply for the diploma course in Vocational Training Council. Development of the Four Key Tasks: Whole Person Development Plan. Use IT to encourage self-learning. Promote project learning to develop generic skills. Promote Life Planning. Life Planning Education: Life-Planning Committee will base on different students' learning starting points, interest, capability, degree of maturity and psychological readiness to design a personal, group and collective training program and plan, which mainly focus on meeting their study needs. Once students enroll in school, the committee will start to identify their performance on the above factors. Appropriate educational service will be provided to help them either further studies or employment. This could help them to make decision on their career planning or educational path. Student Support Whole School Approach to Catering for Learner Diversity: Our school believes that every student has the ability to learn and each individual can be educated and changeable. What they need is the opportunity we provide for them. We adopt whole school approach to cater for students' learning diversity needs. We also develop special tailor-made measures and guidance services for individual students who have special learning needs. Whole School Approach to Integrated Education: The Student Support Team comprises of members from various fields such as the Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCO), the Educational Psychologist, the Speech Therapist, the Guidance Mistress, the Life Planning Master, the school social worker, the student counsellor and the teaching assistants.

Our school is committed to enhancing an inclusive culture, so we make good use of the ‘Student Activities Support Grant’ to employ extra manpower including counseling assistance and teaching assistance to support our teachers in joining the ‘Whole-school Participation Education’ and to efficaciously implement the plan of integrated education. Services of reading and writing training are provided to those students with Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLD) in school. Provide Speech Therapy Services for those students with Speech and Language Impairments (SLI). For SEN students, we have formulated special arrangement in their examination and encourage them to participate in social skills groups. Meanwhile, various extra-curricular activities are promoted in order to help other students and SEN students recognize, accept and respect each other so as to construct a harmonious and caring campus.

Life Planning Team is committed to implementing the career planning for all students. Special career guidance for SEN students would be given before their graduation in order to help them prepare for their future career. Education Support for Non-Chinese Speaking (NCS) Students: Our school provides additional support for NCS students to facilitate their learning of Chinese: providing after-school support programmes in learning Chinese; appointing additional teacher(s)/teaching assistant(s) to support NCS students’ learning of Chinese; developing school-based Chinese Language curriculum and/or adapting learning and teaching materials; and organising cultural integration activities. In order to improve students' learning abilities, our school provide after-school learning and support programmes for the non-Chinese-speaking students. Measures to provide adaptation for Learning and Assessment: Both formative and summative assessments are used to assess student's performance, and also we highly emphasize giving feedback and promoting reflective learning so as to encourage continuous self-improvement. Home-School Co-operation and School Ethos Home-School Co-operation: Our school devotes much effort in establishing a close link between home and school. We have set up PTA and parents are involved in many school activities. We highly value home-school cooperation. Parents and teachers periodically meet together and communication channel is thorough. A PTA newsletter is published recently to enhance home-school collaboration. School Ethos: Our school realizes that a good participative and interactive learning and teaching classroom atmosphere will help develop a positive and effective school ethos. Therefore, we strive to establish a reward and correction system, which aims at positive reinforcement based on an education-oriented conception, to merit students, and also to provide an opportunity for self-reflection of behavioural conduct and a chance for reform. Aside from setting up a student counsellor and discipline instructors as resources for students, we provide varieties of seminars about morality, workshops, "Teacher Mentoring Scheme", and "Adventure-based counselling" and different growth groups to nurture students’ positive attitude and develop a sense of belonging to school. In order to accommodate every "fall-behind" student, our school strives to implement a “Rainbow Classroom Programme”, to build on students’ sense of individuality based on their needs, facilitate students' ability for self-appreciation, caring, problem solving and self-management, to achieve self-actualization and realize future goals. Future Development School Development Plan: 1. Ongoing renewal of the school curriculum. In the line with the direction of the curriculum development by Education Bureau, we cultivate students generic skills, facilitate STEAM education and information technology education, strengthen values and attitudes education and enhance cross curriculum language learning. 2. Enhancing school management and raising learning and teaching effectiveness. To foster the development and management of different departments, raise the effectiveness of formulation and implementation of plans and carry out the policies and measures which effectively increase the learning effectiveness. 3.

English is adopted as the medium of instruction in Mathematics and Science. Subject-related vocabulary and usage are taught in all subjects, except Chinese, Chinese History and Putonghua. Putonghua is taught in all S.1-S.2 classes. Foreign language classes are offered to boost students' language abilities. Learning and Teaching Strategies: 1.

E-learning has been adopted to enhance classroom interactions, which in turn increase students’ motivation to learn. Students also build up the habits of self-learning, making notes and doing pre-lesson preparation by using online learning resources. help to increase the effectiveness of learning and teaching. 3.

Implement career and life planning curriculum in S.1-S.6. 2. Provide individual counselling on work and study for S.3, S.5 and S.6 students so as to help them make informed decisions in accordance with their interests, abilities and orientations. Student Support Whole School Approach to Catering for Learner Diversity: The Student Support Team has adopted the transdisciplinary approach to cater for gifted students and those with special learning needs. Through the analysis of assessment data and teacher observation, students’ talents or difficulties are identified early on. With homework adjustment, special test/exam arrangements, suitable trainings and early intervention, our school effectively helps students develop their potentials and alleviate their learning difficulties so as to boost academic and non-academic performance as well as leadership skills. Differentiated teaching through appropriate grouping of students in all forms also helps meet their needs. Questions of different levels of difficulty are included in each assessment in order to cater for learner diversity. For junior forms students, different sets of test/exam papers are designed to cater for learner diversity. A wide variety of assessment tools and methods are used for formative assessment to reflect different aspects of student learning, which also helps those with different abilities to appreciate their strengths and learning outcomes. Apart from the immersion of the three core elements advocated in gifted education, i.e. higher-order thinking skills, creativity and personal-social competence in the curriculum for all students in the regular classroom, enrichment programmes are also conducted outside the regular classroom. Furthermore, individualised educational arrangements are tailored made for those exceptionally gifted students using resource support outside the regular school setting. With reference to the regulations of the HKEAA, special test/ examination arrangements are made for students with special learning needs. Whole School Approach to Integrated Education: Our whole school approach to integrated education supports students with special learning needs and leads to better learning outcomes and a caring school culture.

School Characteristics School Management School's Major Concerns: 1. Teaching and learning: Enhancing the staff and students’ capacity for development in teaching and learning. 2. Promoting moral development and grooming dynamic individuals: Instilling positive values to students and supporting students with diverse talents. 3. Pursuing excellence: Creating opportunities for staff and students to realize their full potential. School Management Organisation: The school principal are responsible for school management and development. The School Administration Team co-ordinates different committees concerning curriculum, IT education, ECA and career guidance, moral education, as well as the Parent-Teacher Association and Alumni Association. Incorporated Management Committee / School Management Committee / Management Committee: Our Incorporated Management Committee includes elected parent managers, teacher managers, alumni manager and independent managers. School Green Policy: Our implementation starts with subject knowledge and an investigative approach to stimulate our students' thinking about the effects of personal behavior to our environment, which help them set up rules to protect the environment. Students will enrich their knowledge in environmental education and assist the school in carrying out environmental activities (e.g. recycling work, green school scheme etc). Having the experience in carrying out activities, our students are ready to join a cross-regional study tour and activities like simple life camp, dog doctor, environmental protection talks. Learning and Teaching Plan Whole-school Language Policy: Most students allocated to our school possess the ability of learning through English. Our school uses English as medium of instruction in teaching various subjects in some classes in the junior forms including Integrated Science (S.1 and S.2), Geography (S.1 and S.2), History (S.1 and S.2), Physics (S.3), Chemistry (S.3), Biology (S.3). Mathematics is taught in English in all junior forms. English subject results will be the chief factor to allocate students to different classes. Students have opportunities to be admitted into different classes (using mainly Chinese or mainly English as medium of instruction) at different levels. Our school has set up this mechanism, and will explain it to parents of junior form students. If S.3 students need to change MOI when promoting to S.4, our school will arrange supporting programmes. Our Native English-Speaking Teacher plays a crucial role in arousing students' interest in learning English and increasing their confidence and ability to communicate in English. Public speaking in morning assemblies, School Reading Award Scheme, inter-class or inter-group language activities are employed to enhance the language proficiency of students. Both Chinese and English Ambassador Teams have been set up to promote language learning in our school. A debating team has been set up to enhance students’ communication skill and other generic skills. Teachers of Chinese Language, English Language and Putonghua always train students to prepare for various internal and external competitions. Learning and Teaching Strategies: Our school improves the curriculum & teaching strategies through teacher professional development, collaborative lesson planning, school-based support scheme, and etc. We also encourage teachers to use different levels of teaching materials to cater for the diversities of students. Our school strengthens the requirements of classroom regulations to enhance students' learning habits. Subject teachers design learning guides to train students through self-learning, collaborative learning and peer-learning to build up self-regulated learning skills. This year, our English department has joined the “Language Learning Support Section” by the EdB. This will further facilitate the communication and collaboration between us and our counterparts in Hong Kong in the course of curriculum reform towards “learning to learn”. On-site visits will also be carried out by the EdB Language Support Officers to assist our team with the refinement of our syllabus and the improvement of our teaching and learning. Besides, our English Department has implemented the following measures to enhance students’ ability to learn in English: • “Vocabulary Bank” Our English department deems the learning of vocabulary essential to improving students’ English. Therefore, we have created the “Vocabulary Bank” for F.1 and F.2 students. It offers a collection of words and phrases categorized according to the textbook units in the hope that our students will learn new words in a way more systematic. • F.2 Drama Education Our F.2 students are given the opportunity to stage a drama performance after adapting the English classics. It is anticipated that our students will become more interested in English so they will be able to learn and use the language more effectively. • Cross-curricula Collaboration with “Maker & ICT” A glossary of terms for “Maker & ICT” is included in our “Vocabulary Bank” so as to make our students more capable of studying both subjects and presenting in English. School-based Curriculum: 1. Electives: 2X. Our school offers about 30 different combinations of electives to senior-form students. 2. Curriculum highlights: Our school provides a diversified curriculum. Junior-form subjects include Life and Society, Design and Technology, Home Economics, etc. Many subjects develop their own school-based curricula and teaching materials. The HKDSE examination subjects in senior-forms involve multiple key learning areas such as Design and Applied Technology, and Visual Arts. Development of the Four Key Tasks: 1.

School Characteristics School Management School's Major Concerns: 1. Our educational and pastoral ministry will implement differentiated instruction to cater for learner diversity and enhance the effectiveness of learning and teaching. 2. Students will exhibit multiple intelligences, become self-confident and develop positive attitude towards life. 3. Our teachers will be lifelong learners in order to enhance their professional capacity. School Management Organisation: Our school comprises four parts: Management & Organization, Learning and Teaching, Pastoral Care & Student Development, School Administration. In order to formulate and implement strategic policies, the views of different stakeholders including the members in School Development Group will be collected. The effectiveness of existing work is periodically reviewed for improvement. Incorporated Management Committee / School Management Committee / Management Committee: To achieve a wider representation, the School Incorporated Management Committee comprises 15 members. They are 8 members assigned by the school's sponsoring body, the principal, teachers, parents, an alumnus and an external professional to manage the school and formulate strategic policies. School Green Policy: Our school has a green policy. Students' awareness of environmental protection has been raised in three ways: reducing and recycling waste, greening the campus and appreciating the nature, and encouraging teachers and students to save energy and reduce carbon footprint. Learning and Teaching Plan Whole-school Language Policy: (1) To match the students’ ability in learning through English, our school arranges some classes of students at the junior levels to learn through English in three specific non-language subjects; in the other classes at the junior levels, English is used as the medium of instruction in some of the class time in those three specific non-language subjects. Our school makes sure that when the students study at the senior levels, they will have a chance to choose to study those non-language subjects through English or Chinese. (2) To promote a reading culture among students, morning reading lessons are arranged. Our school also encourages students to join a wide range of language activities inside and outside school in order to enhance the quality of teaching and the learning effectiveness of the three language subjects, English, Chinese and Putonghua. With the collaboration of English, Chinese and other content subjects, reading across the curriculum is promoted. (3) Our school arranges various extended learning activities in the teaching of three specific non-language subjects, so as to meet the students’ ability and progress in learning through English, as well as their needs, interests and aspirations. Learning and Teaching Strategies: To cultivate students’ ability to learn through making inquiries and foster their habit of self-directed learning, the cooperative learning mode and delivery of differentiated instruction have been implemented at junior levels. Meanwhile, diversified learning modes, with e-learning covered, are also carried out in the classroom in order to enhance students’ motivation in learning, which can in turn make students more proactive in making continual improvements based on teachers’ feedback. School-based Curriculum: 1. Electives: 2X. In the 2020-2021 academic year, students of senior forms, with their own interest and ability taken into account of, can choose two elective subjects based on a wide range of options offered. 2. Curriculum highlights: At junior levels, the school-based curriculum has started being implemented in the following key learning areas: Chinese Language, English Language, Mathematics, Integrated Humanities, Science and Design and Technology. Under the school-based curriculum, adaptations have been made to the teaching materials in order to have students of different abilities taken care of. To further extend students’ learning experiences, lessons on moral education are regularly arranged for students of all levels. Development of the Four Key Tasks: Moral & Civic Education: The aim of our moral education endeavours to promote a "Positive Culture" and a "Caring Culture". We build a positive ambiance and a caring culture of a "harmonious campus". Reading: The school implements the 'Morning Reading Scheme' to help students build up a good reading habit. Reading classes are arranged for the two language subjects, Chinese and English. Besides, students are required to take part in various reading activities held by institutions and organizations outside school. Our teachers do book sharing sessions during lunchtime for our students. Besides, cross-curricular reading is implemented in our school. Project Learning: Project-based learning across the curriculum is conducted at junior levels, covering various practical skills, with research methods, ways of analyzing data and skills of writing reports included. Information Technology: There are three well-equipped computer rooms in our school to facilitate students’ learning. With the wi-fi network established in the whole school and the provision of tablets for students, learning can be conducted in an interesting and effective way. To further implement e-learning at school, we also plan to upgrade the relevant facilities in each classroom which will then be turned into a ‘smart classroom’. Life Planning Education: A wide range of career and life planning activities are implemented to help students of all levels plan their future better. For junior levels, students are made to learn more about themselves and different kinds of occupation through lessons on moral education and regular guidance from class teachers. Besides, talks and trial practice on the choice of elective subjects are also arranged in order to let them acquire the relevant information regarding the choice of subjects for their study at senior levels. To broaden senior students’ horizons, visits to different organizations and companies, and talks on different occupations are arranged for them. Moreover, some of the students are given opportunities to take part in the internship programmes at different kinds of companies, which can help familiarize them with the requirements for different occupations. To further prepare for their own future, students of senior forms can also join the mentorship scheme which enables them to inherit the good qualities of alumni. For S.6 students who need to be provided with useful opinions and support regarding the options available to them for their future, there are arrangements for counselling and follow-up work so as to make them fully equipped for the release of DSE results. Student Support Whole School Approach to Catering for Learner Diversity: We have a special team of teachers taking care of the students with special education needs; we have employed professionals from the outside to support the students in need. Whole School Approach to Integrated Education: We are committed to developing an inclusive culture through the Whole School Approach to support students with special educational needs. Resources are deployed to provide appropriate and diversified support to these students so as to enhance their learning and adjustment to the school life. We treasure home-school cooperation by establishing regular communication channels to facilitate parents’ participation in the formulation of support strategies for students with special educational needs. Measures to provide adaptation for Learning and Assessment: Our teachers provide feedback regarding students' learning and assessment activities. They make good use of data to improve teaching and facilitate students’ learning. To cater for learner diversity, there are supplementary after-school lessons for our cream students, as well as tutorial classes for the weaker ones. Home-School Co-operation and School Ethos Home-School Co-operation: The Parent-Teacher Association promotes cooperation between parents and the school. About four to six talks are held every year. This allows the parents to know well about the latest ideas on child rearing. There are two parents' days every school year for parents and teachers to discuss face-to-face the students' academic performance and personal growth. Apart from the yearly publication, monthly newsletters are regularly sent to the parents by the Parent-Teacher Association, so that the parents can better understand our school. When there is a need, eClass Parent App messages will be sent to parents for prompt dissemination of information. School Ethos: Growing up in a supportive learning environment, our students are polite and well-behaved. We aim at creating a pleasurable and harmonious campus and cultivating students to achieve the goal 'To be good and be a good role model for others'. In the meantime, we strive to build up a caring and loving school culture. We require Secondary One students to have lunch at school and a wide range of activities are organized for them after lunch. Future Development School Development Plan: To cater for learner diversity, increase students’ self-confidence and resilience, differentiated instruction, co-operative/group-based learning will be implemented in 2019-2022. Our teachers are encouraged to attend workshops, seminars and professional development programmes. Teacher Professional Training and Development: "Collaborative Lesson Planning" and "Peer Class Observation". We encourage individual teachers to do continuing professional development and are willing to make necessary administrative arrangement to cater for their needs. Besides, through our sponsoring body's training program for new teachers, new teachers in our school can easily integrate themselves into our own team of professional teachers. To meet the need of the New Secondary School Syllabus and the new requirement of medium of instructions and catering for students with special educational needs set by the EDB, all of our teachers have their value added and their teaching effectiveness enhanced through getting continuing professional development. Life-wide Learning (including Five Essential Learning Experiences to be provided through Key Learning Areas, Extra-curricular Activities, Co-curricular Activities, etc.) To ensure an all-round development of our students, besides providing more than thirty types of extra-curricular activities for them to participate in, our school has fifteen Salesian Youth Groups and other self-governed students’ organizations like the Student Union, the Prefects’ Association and Rotary Youth Group. In addition, community events, charity activities and ‘multi-intelligence challenge’ camps are regularly organized for students who then can have their potential developed and life experiences enriched through participating in them.

All-round education is marked with dual emphases on academic pursuits and personal development, underpinned by the spirit to pursue excellence and self regulation. The "Study Targets Scheme" motivates students to aim high for their academic results. Learning effectiveness, self management ability and self assertion are stressed among all students. Guidelines from CDI, requirements from HKEA, students' abilities are considered in the curriculum.

Another line of L&T focus is in-depth enquiry: Issues Enquiry (IE), a school-based subject, integrates trainings on critical thinking, analytical thinking, and inquiry techniques. Together with the project learning system and investigatory learning activities, IE serves as a backbone in the junior years to strengthen students' generic competence and language proficiency for in-depth studies in the NSS curriculum. This is accompanied by abundant opportunities to make presentations which promote knowledge consolidation and experience sharing. All-round development is provided especially through school strengths such as Language trainings, IT education, music education and service opportunities.
