2. they become reflective and will accept their strengths and weaknesses;
3. they come to a knowledge of God and put Christian values into practice;
4. they are sensitive to the needs of others, especially the poor;
5. they fulfil a role in serving others to build a just and compassionate society.
2 B. Features of MSS
1. Brief History
Our school is a well-established government aided school with a long history and fine traditions. It was founded by the Maryknoll Sisters from America in 1927. In the year 1978, the sponsorship was handed over to the Columban Sisters from Ireland. In 1996, the sponsorship of the school was transferred to the Christian Life Community (CLC), an international Catholic lay community associated with the Society of Jesus. The CLC has pledged to preserve the same school spirit, foster the fine traditions and continue to provide an all-round education to students of the school. Under the same sponsorship is Marymount Primary School (MPS), our feeder school.
2. School Culture
We provide a broad and balanced curriculum and an environment conducive to enhancing students’ language competence, particularly English. Not only are we strong in the development of a culture of creative arts, we also had an early start in the development of an Information Technology culture and students are able to enjoy a wide range of creative arts and IT in teaching and learning. We have well established leadership training and extra-curricular activities for our students. In pastoral care, we attach great importance to values education.

Staff Continuous Professional Development
The school was committed to allocating resources to foster staff’s professional development especially in the area of the New Senior Secondary Curriculum, stepping up capacity building effort and providing opportunities for collegial collaboration.
By September, 2010, the majority of the teachers were well equipped for the implementation of the NSS. Below is a summary of CPD hrs on various areas of NSS attended by teachers in 2010 – 2011: 8 Areas No. of CPD hrs. i. Curriculum Leadership 69.5 ii. Curriculum, Pedagogy & Assessment 438 iii. OLE & SLP 105
Apart from external training, the 14 hours of staff development programmes and activities organized by the Staff Development and Appraisal Committee (SDAC) were geared towards meeting the needs of teachers and school development. They included:
Date Programme Facilitators/Speakers/Organisers 27 Aug., 2010 Critical Thinking Mr. Chan Tak Hang, retired Principal and presently consultant of EDB Professional Development for schools

In stepping up the enhancement of teachers’ capacity for Integrated Education, two teachers completed the 90-hour Advanced Course on Catering for Diverse Learning Needs and another teacher attended the 60-hour Thematic Course on Education of Students with Specific Learning Needs for English Language Teachers.
In addition to the above, teachers pursued Continuous Professional Development (CPD) that met their individual needs by taking part in seminars and workshops organized by the EDB and other educational institutions, participating and engaging in job-enrichment activities such as sharing of good practices, mentoring and action learning, providing service to education and the community and pursuing higher academic study. The school was very pleased to have the opportunity for our teachers to share with other schools the development of Student Learning Profile (SLP) and its implementation and the design of the new timetable which aims at maximizing teaching and learning effectiveness and facilitating the organization of Other Learning Experiences (OLE), Co-curricular Activities (CCA) and Extra-curricular Activities (ECA).
9 In the deployment of staff, the school gave full support to teachers engaged in CPD by appointing additional staff with Substitute Teacher Grant (STG) and special funding so that teachers could be free for planning and preparation for NSS and not be over-burdened by substitution duties resulting from CPD.
Summary of CPD of Principal and teachers
The Principal was engaged in 232.75 hours of CPD while the average number of CPD of teachers (excluding the Principal) was 81.13 hours. The average CPD hours completed by staff was well above the suggested 50 hours per year by the EDB.

Reflections & Evaluation
In reviewing staff’s continuous professional development (CPD) where support for students with special educational needs (SEN) is concerned, the school has been working towards meeting the EDB requirements of the “teacher professional framework on integrated education”. As reflected in the CPD records, teachers’ interest in learning more about education for the gifted and talented has been steadily growing. While some teachers did enroll in “block release” programmes in the years before, not many are keen on leaving their classes behind to attend training, even though the EDB is ready to provide resources for substitution. Professional development programmes that do not interfere with regular teaching are what teachers prefer; they have to be on the lookout for the appropriate sessions and take the initiative to enroll in them.
10 The number of CPD hours on the NSSC indicates that the staff understood and were committed to the need to be well-prepared for the implementation of the New Senior Secondary Curriculum. Results from evaluation surveys of the school-based staff development programme showed that the programmes were in general able to meet the needs of teachers in preparation for NSSC and also attending to their other needs such as how to equip students with critical thinking skills and taking care of their physical and spiritual wellness. On average, over 80% of the staff ‘agreed’ or ‘strongly agreed’ that the objectives of the school-based programmes were achieved. The school is also grateful to the MSS Alumnae Educational Trust for supporting our staff development programmes.

Our Partners in Education
The MSS Alumnae Association (MSSAA)
The MSS Alumnae Association has a long history and the school enjoys very strong ties with its alumnae. The MSSAA organizes social events and activities to strengthen the bond among the alumnae and is always ready to offer financial sponsorship to the school for student welfare and improvement of facilities.
Events held in 2010–2011 included the Christmas Party and Easter Egg Hunt. The Mentorship Programme for S6 students continued into its sixth year, fully supported by alumnae of different years. A tea reception was held in November, 2010, whereby the mentees were introduced to their mentors. The S6 students fully appreciated the sharing of experiences of the mentors, which helped them to make informed choices of future studies and careers. In April, 2011, a mentorship programme was organized jointly with Wah Yan College (Hong Kong) Past Students Association. It was a unique opportunity for the mentees of MSS and WYHK to gain valuable advice on how to meet challenges and make responsible decisions from prominent alumni of the two schools.
The MSS Parent-Teacher Association (MSSPTA)
The school has always been blessed with a dedicated and enthusiastic PTA Executive Committee and a group of very supportive parents. This year, under the leadership of Mr. Henry Lo, the PTA has again succeeded in bringing parents, students and the school closer through the many activities organized.
The activities included: Annual General Meeting Ocean Park Halloween Bash S1 Parents’ Sharing Session Christmas Celebration One-day Family Outing to Shui Tau Tsuen in Yuen Long Values Education Workshops Teacher Appreciation Programme and Lunch Court visits for S2 students Liaison with a District Councillor to press for better bus service for students that commute to school by bus Beading Workshops for parents and teachers PTA Reading Scheme 14 Two issues of the PTA Newsletter Post-exam activities e.g. talk on stress management and skin care Joint MPS & MSS PTA service activity at Fun Fair
A series of four stimulating Values-education Workshops and a concluding Sharing Session held between March and May, 2011 were the results of the joint effort of the Parent-Teacher Associations of three schools. This year the MSS PTA joined hands with the Wah Yan College (Hong Kong) PTA and the Marymount Primary School PTA. Together with the support of the Hong Kong International Institution for Educational Leadership, they were able to invite many distinguished speakers, for example Mr. Frances Mak, Mrs. Eva Sum, Professor Wong Po Choi and Dr. Wat Wai Ho, who provided very useful guidance to parents on helping children to form basic human values and attain an all-round development.
85th Anniversary Celebration Alumnae and PTA Organising Committee
In anticipation of the school’s 85th Anniversary in 2011-2012, the Alumnae Association together with the Parent Teacher Association have enthusiastically set up an organizing committee in support of the school’s preparation for the various celebration events.
The Committee, chaired by Ms. Asha Sharma, comprises over 60 alumnae and parents. They started work as early as March, 2011 and by July, 2011, a Facebook fanpage was launched by the Promotion Team under the Committee. It has successfully disseminated news of the 85th Anniversary celebrations and connected members and friends of the school community.
The Committee has also planned a series of events to raise funds for the organization of the 85th Anniversary Grand Dinner, which is to be held at the HK Convention & Exhibition Centre on 6th July, 2012 when alumnae, parents, staff and students can join in and celebrate the rich heritage and continuous development of the school.
The school is certainly indebted to the unrelenting support given by both our alumnae and parents.
15 Teaching and Learning Achievements and Reflection on Major Concerns
2.1 Introduction
This year being the first of our three year School Development Plan 2010-2013, in addition to continuing with our efforts to provide a broad and balanced curriculum to cater for student diversity and multiple intelligences as well as to offer a language enriched environment for students to learn through the medium of English, the Academic Division has set for ourselves the challenge to seek further breakthrough in what students can achieve academically as well as in subject-related activities. As teachers in the junior secondary strive to provide the younger students with the solid foundations to build on and teachers in the senior secondary bind fast the scaffold, we hope to equip our graduates with the knowledge, skills, values and attitude that are required of them in a competitive world where innovation and excellence are the prerequisites for success.
In our first Major Concern I: ‘Promoting high aspirations within a culture congenial to learning and teaching, motivating and supporting students to excel’ teachers have encouraged students to dream their dreams and to aim at excellence in all areas. On top of helping students learn through role models and the good practices of their peers, success and outstanding performances were celebrated while hard work and improvement were recognized and rewarded. Our attempts to foster a culture congenial to learning and teaching have resulted in measures to maximize learning and teaching time in the classroom and to enrich learning experiences outside the classroom through co-curricular activities and the summer world classroom.
Inside the classrooms, teachers continued to refine their strategies by setting challenging tasks to engage students in the process of learning, further develop their generic skills and designing assignments that promote critical and creative thinking. The campus bustled with eager and energetic learners who were engaged in different forms and modes of learning, some in groups and some individually; some at their desks and some in various forms of activity and interaction in different parts of the school. Outside the classroom, teachers have tapped resources to provide students with learning experiences to supplement what they have learnt in the classroom and to apply their skills to authentic situations. The boundaries of the world classroom were stretched still further to broaden the horizons of our students.
In our Major Concern II: ‘Instilling in students three key values as preparation for life in a fast-changing society: Respect for self and others, Perseverance and Commitment’, students learnt about the values through relevant topics in the curriculum as well as through practice and application. They were reminded of the need to respect other learners for their diversity in cultural background, ability and talents as well as the need to persevere through hard work and commitment to the goals that they have set for themselves.

34 2.4 Strategies to Promote Reading and Survey on Students’ Reading Habit
Achievement
Promoting the reading of non-fiction New strategies to encourage students to read extensively and effectively were implemented and this year the focus was to encourage students to read more non-fiction. Each subject panel was invited to recommend non-fiction reading material that students may read to broaden their knowledge and further develop their interest in each discipline. The list of non-fiction recommended by the different subject panels was displayed on Our Lady’s Foyer and placed on the Library homepage for students’ reference in September. A display of non-fiction reading material according to eight Thematic Displays was also arranged to enable students to have a better idea of the resources available in the Library, and to encourage them to borrow these for reading and research. In some subjects, students were required to complete assigned work based on the thematic displays. To help students in the junior secondary develop the habit and interest in reading non-fiction, students of S1 and S2 were required to read non-fiction during their Reading Time between 10th November and 16th December.

Reflection Students continued to enjoy reading books of their choice during the Reading Time as can be seen from the survey of students’ reading habits. With the increased promotion on the thematic displays, more students visited the book displays in the library. To broaden the scope of students’ reading both for pleasure and the construction of knowledge, more effort will be made in the coming year to promote the reading of non-fictional material. Additional books and material will be procured for the school and class library. Different subject panels and functional groups will be invited to prepare thematic displays in the Library. In order to further promote students’ interest in reading, different attempts will be made to encourage students to share their pleasure and reward in reading with their peers. Reports on interesting books that students have read will be posted on display boards in the classrooms and outstanding book reports will be printed in the MSS Messenger and Yearbook.
38 2.5 Learning through IT and Project Work
Achievement
Project work continued to play an important part in the junior secondary, equipping students with the necessary generic skills of collaboration, communication, creativity and critically thinking and preparing them for the inquiry-based studies that would be required of them in the senior secondary. In addition to IT skills, students learnt to manage their time and solve the problems related to their tasks.
In S1 JUMP, students worked in groups to identify an area of interest related to ‘Ocean Park’. In order to complete their assigned task, students learnt to set valid inquiry-based questions, collect primary data through questionnaires and interviews, analyze the data that they have collected and present their findings through tables, charts and a power-point presentation. In S2 LEAD, students worked in pairs on the theme ‘Dance’ composing their own stories, music and animation as well as using the skill of computer programming to activate and mobilize LEGO blocks.
IT and multi-media continues to be an indispensable tool for learning and teaching. With increased training and application, teachers and students have demonstrated greater competence in computer skills and have used IT as a tool for knowledge acquisition and management. Students have used the internet for information search and online programmes for self directed learning. They use the computer for data processing and class presentations. eClass has been used to facilitate learning and teaching. Teachers upload learning materials and assessment tasks for students and students use this to share their work with their peers. Surveys are carried out and processed through the ePlatform. The schedule of tests is uploaded to eCalendar for better co-ordination and easy reference.
Reflection
Since IT and project work are very useful tools in maximizing learning and preparing students as independent learners, they will continue to play a very important role in learning and teaching. While training sessions and workshops will be provided where new skills and programmes are needed, equal emphasis will be placed on the teaching of computer ethics like respect for privacy and copyright. As students become more competent in their practical skills, they have to be reminded of the need to be responsible and disciplined users of IT when using the computer for research and other learning purposes.

41 Support for Students Achievements and Reflections on Major Concerns
3.1 Introduction
In the year 2010-2011, the Pastoral Care Division has striven to play its unique role in extending support to students within the context of the philosophy of education of the School Sponsoring Body and the specific concerns of the school in the new development cycle of 2010-2013. Christian values and the school ethos of nurturing students into integrated persons of wisdom, care, love and compassion have always been the guiding principles for the provision of values education beyond the classroom. Mindful as well of the prominence the New Academic Structure (NAS) gives to a wide range of experiences which deepen and broaden the curriculum, the Division is committed to aligning its purposes with both the school ethos and the NAS in catering for the balanced and whole-person development of students.
As such, programmes and activities held during the year have been specifically designed to address student needs in terms of three categories of Other Learning Experiences: Moral and Civic Education Career-related Experiences and Community Service.
While embedding values formation in the provision of pastoral care, the Division has focused on both major concerns of the 2010-2013 School Development Plan. Promoting high aspirations in a culture congenial to learning and teaching, the First Major Concern, is not only a slogan but the cornerstone on which students have been groomed. Motivation being intrinsic in nature and “a culture congenial to learning and teaching” being a vision to be realized through the collaborative effort of all the stakeholders of the school, the committees and teams in the Pastoral Care Division see it their mission to nurture students’ motivation to learn and excel, not so much in academic performance alone, but primarily in all aspects of life experiences and pursuits. Through the continuous provision of exposure, exemplars, guidance, training and actual participation in these experiences, it is anticipated that students set specific and realistic goals for themselves, stretch their potential beyond known limits and aspire for excellence in both academic and non-academic domains. In addressing the Second Major Concern, every effort has been geared towards equipping students for life in the Twenty-first Century, with a view to instilling in them the three key values of respect for self and others, perseverance and commitment. 42 3.2 Major Concern I: Promoting high aspirations within a culture congenial to learning and teaching, motivating and supporting students to excel

58 3.4 APASO Surveys
In 2008, the Education Bureau commissioned the Hong Kong Institute of Education to conduct a comprehensive review on and subsequent revision of the APASO, questionnaires aimed at measuring the affective and social outcomes of students to facilitate schools to evaluate students’ needs in their whole-person development. While awaiting the finalizing of the new scales, the existing set was administered.
Class Level APASO I Scale Responsible Time Frame (Affective/Social Outcomes) Committee/Team/Staff S1 Values RMEC Early October 2010 S1 Attitudes to School School Social Worker Mid-November 2010 S3 Values RMEC March 2011 S6 Leadership ECASC September 2010 S4 & 5 Leadership ECASC October 2010 S4 – 6 Leadership ECASC May 2011
Professional development workshops for teachers on the implementation of APASO II, the revised set, were completed in March 2011. Thanks to the facilitation of the I.T. Department, APASO II was tried out by students during computer lessons or at home between April and May 2011 and the results recorded for school reference.
Class Level APASO II Scale Administering Staff Tryout Period (Affective/Social Outcomes) S1 Self Concept S2 Interpersonal Relationships; National Identity & Global Citizenship S3 Ethical Conduct; Learning Competency I.T. Department April/May 2011 S4 Leadership;
Independent Learning Capacity S5 Health & Well Being (Test Anxiety); Stress Management; Leadership S6 Ethical Conduct; Leadership
A revamping of the administration of the APASO Scales was also proposed to be implemented from 2011-2012. The scales will be administered by the Pastoral Care Division as a whole and the results will be uploaded in time to the Piazza for staff reference. 59 3.5 Special Educational Needs (SEN)
In 2010-2011, the school continued to be on the lookout for information from the EDB on SEN cases so that appropriate support could be extended to the students concerned.
To ensure that SEN students are properly supported, the school relies on a few measures that have proven to be effective. The school adapted the Medical History Form (sample provided by the Department of Health) for collecting information on chronic illnesses to include items/symptoms related to SEN. In addition, the Checklist of Symptoms of Special Educational Needs, designed to facilitate internal communication so that prompt action is duly taken, is a school-based channel by which teachers report on observations of the needs and/or areas that warrant attention.
Since September 2009, S1 parents have been invited to furnish the school with information regarding need for SEN support for their child in the Secondary 1 Registration Form. The Letter to Parents issued on the first day of the school year makes a special appeal to all parents to share necessary information with the school where SEN is concerned with assurance on confidentiality. The only exception is that the information has to be shared with subject teachers so that appropriate measure could be applied in the classroom and other settings at school.
Starting from September 2010, a letter to parents of S5, S6 and S7 inviting initial indication of students who might need to apply for “special examination arrangements” in the Hong Kong Advanced Level Examination (HKALE) and the forthcoming Hong Kong Diploma of Education Examination (HKDSE) will be issued on an annual basis before students are enrolled as candidates in the public exams. Parents are encouraged to inform the school early not only for the sake of arrangements by the Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority (HKEAA) but more practically, corresponding arrangements at school with reference to special provision made in internal test and examination settings. It also serves to alert parents to arrange for assessments by specialists of the SEN detected well in advance.
Where SEN types are concerned, the most common ones identified in the school are hearing impairment, speech impairment and attention deficit disorder. The number of cases has always been minimal, making it all the easier to extend the best possible care and support to the students involved. As soon as the special educational need is identified, the SEN Support Team (SENST) takes the initiative to communicate with students and parents to find out more about the need and ensure that assessment and follow-up by specialists have been duly secured. In this regard, the school has been well supported by the Caritas School Social Work Service and the EDB Educational Psychology Service. Once the specialist reports and recommendations are available, case conferences involving the SENST, the School Social Worker as well as homeroom and relevant subject teachers will be held so that support measures recommended are put into practice.

Extra teachers employed through the CEG have made enhancement and remedial programmes in the core subjects to cater for learner diversity in the junior secondary possible. Extra teachers employed through the SSCSG have enabled teachers in both the Science and the Humanities streams to develop and fine-tune the school-based curriculum at the junior and senior levels in preparation for the NSSC. An administrative assistant was also employed to share out the substitution duties resulting from teachers’ need to attend training and assist teachers with administrative duties arising from the implementation of SBA and other IT-related duties.
Over the past two years, the cut in government funding has resulted in a reduction of teaching assistants and an increase in teaching loads to be shared out by other teachers. Fortunately the school has been able to keep the administrative assistant with the use of other funds available. This has relieved teachers of other duties which may otherwise jeopardize the effectiveness of learning outcomes.

Achievement

Reflection
The funding to support the English learning environment of EMI schools has enabled the school to provide a greater variety of learning programmes to enrich student learning, tap their multiple intelligences and provide training for teachers in the past four years.
In order to further enrich the English learning environment, a proposal on how to cater for student needs through the Refined English Enhancement Scheme was submitted and approved by the EDB. Programmes to enrich the English Language curriculum by providing training for Poetry Appreciation at S1, Public Speaking at S4 and Debate at S5 will be implemented in the coming year. To provide greater support for language across the curriculum, a Pre-S1 LAC Summer Bridging Programme: “Using the Newspaper as a Learning Tool” as well as a programme to further integrate English into the learning of Science subjects at the senior secondary level will be designed in the coming year.
90 4. Diversity Learning Grant 2010 – 2011
4.1 For Other Languages (French) Achievement
French is offered in the regular NSS curriculum to non-Chinese speaking students. In order to provide students studying French with authentic experiences using the language, a part-time native speaker of French was employed for the year. The teacher visited the school to provide oral practice for students of S2 to S5 during lesson time. Students found the experience helpful and stimulating.
Reflection
Offering students authentic experiences in using the language provides them with increased motivation to use it and refine it. A similar arrangement to employ a part-time native speaker of French to provide oral practice for students of S3 to S5 during lesson time will be made in the coming year.
4.2 For Network Programmes (Visual Arts) Achievement
Since the school was not able to provide Visual Arts at S4 due to constraints in teacher deployment, arrangements were made for students to have lessons at Queen’s College. After an interview with Ms. Wong, the Panel Head of Visual Arts of Queen’s College, a total of 7 students were selected for the network programme based on their merit and potential in the subject. Students attended lessons with the boys of the college after school on Monday afternoons. A report on student progress was provided by Ms. Wong after each term. The students, on the whole, achieved excellent results.
Reflection
The network programme in Visual Arts catered for learner diversity and tapped the multiple intelligences of students. It also enabled students who were interested in the subject to achieve outstanding results. However, since the need to have lessons in another school after normal school hours causes inconvenience for students, the school looked into the possibilities of providing lessons at school for the coming cohort of S4 students. This was made possible by a generous donor who offered to sponsor the appointment of an additional VA teacher for the coming year.
91 5. Support for Non-Chinese Speaking Students 2010-2011
Achievement
This new fund has made it possible for the school to provide extra support for non-Chinese speaking students in different ways. In order to promote the learning of Chinese Language and enable them to improve their skills in reading, writing, speaking and listening, a part-time teacher was employed. After school tutorials for students of S2 and S3 to prepare them for their GCSE Chinese Language Exam were held four days of the week. With additional manpower, a pull-out programme to offer non-Chinese speaking students in S1 with special Chinese lessons for the GCSE Chinese Language Exam during normal school hours was also possible. To enable students to practise their language skills outside the classroom, students in S1 and S2 also took part in a script writing and drama activities during the post-exam period.
To enable non-Chinese students to learn more about Chinese culture and traditions, other learning experiences were provided for them at different times of the year. This included a Spring Gathering where students showed their talents in Chinese calligraphy, challenged themselves through lantern riddles and tried some traditional Chinese snacks and food served at Chinese New Year. Students of S1 to S3 prepared a performance for the whole school for the Chinese New Year Programme. Dressed in traditional Chinese costumes, they danced and sang a medley of songs celebrating the lunar new year. Although they spent long hours rehearsing, their efforts paid off when their performance was received with loud cheers and a long applause from the audience. A guided tour to the Cultural Heritage Museum to study the life of Hong Kong in the past was also arranged as a co-curricular activity. Non-Chinese students from True Light Middle School Hong Kong, our partner school, joined us on these occasions.
Reflection Although a small number of students had difficulty attending the after school tutorials due to clashes with other school activities, those who attended were exposed to a larger variety of learning experiences and literary materials like Chinese songs and poems which they enjoyed due to the increased contact hours. The results of students (the majority in S3) who took the GCSE Chinese Language Exam was excellent, with nine attaining grade A* and two attaining grade A. However, since the new SBA requirements in speaking and writing of the GCSE exam is rather demanding, better co-ordination will be made in the coming year to prepare students for the two skills.
Since students enjoyed the cultural activities and visits, similar arrangements will be made to provide students with a better understanding and appreciation of the traditions and practices of the Chinese. The school will also try to provide more opportunities for the non-Chinese students to share their talents in singing, dancing and drama with other students of the school. 92 G.

1. Co-curricular Activities are activities that supplement and enrich the formal curriculum. Implemented in various ways, they provide students with authentic and experiential learning that are essential to their acquisition of knowledge and skills for the different subjects. 2. In order to increase flexibility in arrangements, co-curricular activities will be scheduled on different cycle days within the school year. One afternoon per month from October to May will be allocated for this purpose. On this day, Schedule C, with lessons ending at 1:00 p.m., will be adopted so that students may take part in different activities organized for their level after lunch. Dismissal time may be later than 3:30 p.m. (Normal Time) or 2:20 p.m. (Summer Time). 3. Attendance is compulsory for all participants involved. An excuse letter written by the parent will have to be submitted to the General Office on the following day if the student is absent. 4. Students who are not required to attend the activities scheduled may leave school after lunch or stay in school to study and revise. 5. Students are advised not to make appointments outside school on the pre-scheduled CCA afternoons since additional activities may be arranged at this time later in the year. Such arrangements will be confirmed and announced at a later stage. Parents will be notified of this.
