School Vision & Mission Our School aims to provide quality education. According to our Catholic and cultural traditions, we aim at the greater development of our students in moral, intellectual, physical, social, aesthetic and spiritual aspects. Through care and concern for each individual person, we seek to educate our students so that 1. their acquisition of knowledge and skills is joined to Christian values; 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. 3. Class Structure Class Structure of Secondary 1 - 7 S7 S6 S5 S4 S3 S2 S1 Number of classes at each level In 2010 – 2011, we have four classes each in Secondary 1 to 5 and three classes each in Secondary 6 and 7. Commencing with Secondary 1 of 2006 – 2007, under a symmetrical structure, once admitted to our school, students are able to proceed and enjoy schooling until Secondary 6 under the New Senior Secondary Academic Structure. 3 4. School Campus Since the completion of the School Improvement Project in October 2006, special rooms in the main building as well as the new annex have been refurbished and their facilities upgraded to support teaching and learning activities suitable for the NAS curriculum.

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.

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.

  • Classifiers Determiners Yicheng Wu Adams Bodomo
    REMARKS AND REPLIES 487 Classifiers ϶ Determiners Yicheng Wu Adams Bodomo Cheng and Sybesma (1999, 2005) argue that classifiers in Chinese are equivalent to a definite article. We argue against this position on empirical grounds, drawing attention to the fact that semantically, syntactically, and functionally, Chinese classifiers are not on the same footing as definite determiners. We also show that compared with Cheng and Sybesma’s ClP analysis of Chinese NPs (in particular, Cantonese NPs, on which their proposal crucially relies), a consistent DP analysis is not only fully justified but strongly supported. Keywords: classifiers, open class, definite determiners, closed class, Mandarin, Cantonese 1 Introduction While it is often proposed that the category DP exists not only in languages with determiners such as English but also in languages without determiners such as Chinese (see, e.g., Pan 1990, Tang 1990a,b, Li 1998, 1999, Cheng and Sybesma 1999, 2005, Simpson 2001, 2005, Simpson and Wu 2002, Wu 2004), there seems to be no consensus about which element (if any) in Chinese is the possible counterpart of a definite determiner like the in English. In their influential 1999 article with special reference to Mandarin and Cantonese, Cheng and Sybesma (hereafter C&S) declare that ‘‘both languages have the equivalent of a definite article, namely, classifiers’’ (p. 522).1 Their treatment of Chinese classifiers as the counterpart of definite determiners is based on the following arguments: (a) both can serve the individualizing/singularizing function; (b) both can serve the deictic function. These arguments and the conclusion drawn from them have been incorporated into C&S 2005, C&S’s latest work on the classifier system in Chinese.

Background 2. The Government has been promoting the use of the mother tongue as the MOI in secondary schools since the early 1980’s. In 1997, the then Education Department issued the Medium of Instruction Guidance for Secondary Schools (Guidance) . Under the policy framework as set out in the Guidance , the mother tongue should primarily be adopted as the MOI for secondary schools. Schools wishing to use English as the MOI should fulfill three prescribed criteria as follows: students possessing the ability to learn through English, teachers possessing the capability to teach through English and schools having adequate support strategies/measures. In December 2005, the Education Commission (EC) published the Report on Review of Medium of Instruction for Secondary Schools and Secondary School Places Allocation (Report).
