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 the United States 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, service programmes and extra-curricular activities for our students. In pastoral care, we attach great importance to values education and student formation.

3. Class Structure

Class Structure of Secondary 1 - 6

A B C D S6 S5 Senior Secondary S4 S3 S2 Junior Secondary S1 Number of classes at each level

There are four classes in each level, from S1 to S6. Under a symmetrical structure, once admitted to the school in S1, students are able to enjoy 6 years of schooling until S6.

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 of the different Key Learning Areas (KLA). These include the following:

Special rooms and facilities in the New Annex: Science KLA: Biology Laboratory Chemistry Laboratory Physics Laboratory Integrated Science Laboratory 1 & Laboratory 2

Physical Education KLA: Ball Court Covered Playground Gymnasium

Aesthetic Education KLA: Visual Arts Room

Others: Conference Room Multi-media Learning Centre

Special rooms and facilities in the Main Building: Humanities KLA: Geography Room

Technology KLA: Campus TV Room Computer Room IT Laboratory LEAD Room Technology & Living Room

Aesthetic Education KLA: Music Room Music Store Room

Others: Career Guidance Room Classrooms for split-class teaching Classroom for SEN English Room Interview Room Multi-purpose Hall St. Ignatius Room (Multi-Purpose Room) Student Activity Centre 4

As a result of the reduction in the number of classes under the New Senior Secondary Academic Structure, the school management was able to review and reorganize room usage in the campus after the double cohort year (2012). In the summer of 2014, the Staff Room and Staff Lounge were relocated to the West Wing of the fourth floor so as to provide a better working environment for the teaching staff. The vacated Staff Room and Staff Lounge were converted into a Multi-Purpose Hall and a classroom respectively. At the same time, a Multi Media Learning Centre was made available in the New Annex and the Long Room has been renovated and equipped with computer facilities to support independent group or individual learning. The above IT provision will facilitate the development of eLearning in the coming years. The IT infrastructure of MSS was revamped in 2014. Through the financial support from the school management, the school was rewired with the most up-to-date networking equipment, and more than 70 WiFi access points were installed throughout the entire school campus. The new installation with the newly acquired mobile devices do not only enable students to be self-directed learners, but also encourage them to take more initiative in their learning.

8. Our Partners in Education

The MSS Alumnae Association (MSSAA)

The MSS Alumnae Association was set up in 1950 and the school enjoys very strong ties with her alumnae. This year, the Executive Committee members of the MSSAA, under the leadership of Ms. Anna Lisa Lee met to plan and organize social events and activities to strengthen the bond among the alumnae and between the alumnae and the school.

The MSSAA’s regular events include social gatherings like the annual Christmas Party in December 2018 and the Easter Egg Hunt in March 2019. These activities give alumnae the opportunity to visit the school and meet up with their classmates as well as their teachers and principals. The Welcome Lunch for the S6 Graduates was held in September 2018 to welcome graduates to the alumnae family. Members of the MSSAA continued to demonstrate their love and support for the school through events like Sports Day and Fun Fair in March and July 2019 respectively. This year for the first time, the MSSAA organized a one day outing to the New Territories. This was popular and well supported by alumnae and members of their family.

The MSSAA also plays an active role in raising funds for the MSS Alumnae Association Educational Trust which generously offers scholarships for students and funding for improvement of school facilities. In 2018-2019, in addition to sponsoring teachers’ participation in the World Classroom Programmes, the Educational Trust also funded overseas professional development tours of the principal and teachers.

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.

All the activities celebrated the partnership established between the school and parents in the past twenty years. The PTA of MSS has become a symbol of passion, dedication, appreciation and collaboration.

C. Achievements and Reflections on Major Concerns

Introduction This is the third and last year of the School Development Cycle 2016-2019. Various attempts were made to familiarize our stakeholders with Major Concern 1, Major Concern 2 and the Ten Attributes of MSS Graduates. For teachers, the 21st Century Competencies and Heroic Leadership Qualities were reinforced at various Staff Meetings. These were also discussed and evaluated in greater depth at the Academic Committee and Student Formation Committee meetings, during which strategies were reviewed and refined accordingly.

In order to make our students aware of Major Concern 1 and Major Concern 2, these were printed in the School Diary and presented at the first School Assembly in September 2018. The PTA was invited to support and organize activities relevant to the Major Concerns and integrate the Ten Attributes into PTA activities and workshops. The school conducted a review and evaluation of the extent of achievement of the Major Concerns among stakeholders, including Teachers, Students and Parents through questionnaires. Findings in the questionnaires were incorporated into the drafting of the School Development Plan 2019-2022.

The following is a summary of our achievements and reflections:

Major Concern 1 Developing the “Learner” in MSS girls – Cultivating students into self-directed and reflective learners with 21st Century Competencies (Literacy & Numeracy, Critical Thinking & Problem-solving Skills, Communication & Collaboration Skills, Creativity & Innovation)

1.1 To foster students’ learning habits and skills as self-directed and reflective learners with 21st century competencies

Achievements Subject panels conducted panel meetings in Aug/Sept to review and revise their Strategy Grids, Programme Plans and Schemes of work for more effective dissemination and integration of the 21st Century Competencies. They met again in Jan and Jun/Jul to evaluate their achievements using the Success Criteria that they have developed for their own programmes. They also reviewed their programmes to refine strategies and included new ones to sustain good practices. Accordingly, teachers developed greater competence and confidence in empowering students to learn at their own pace, and guiding students to be self- directed.

To supplement classroom learning, the following special study skills programmes were held to further equip students with the relevant learning skills during Co-curricular Activities sessions, Life-wide Learning Days and other times of the school year.

Level Programme Presenter Pre-S1 Pre-S1 Summer Workshop in Chinese, English & Service Provider Mathematics S1 S1 Gifted Programme 1: Study SMART Curriculum Committee S3 S3 Workshop on Study Skills for Exam Curriculum Committee

A Talk on Reading to Learn in Chinese for S1, Hong Kong Writers Round trip School Presentation in Chinese for S2 and Sharing on Appreciation of Non-fiction/Non-print Texts in English for S3 & S4 were held during Co-curricular Activity sessions to introduce students to a wider range of reading materials and to develop Reading across the Curriculum. Students were encouraged to read non-fiction during Reading Time to develop skills and competencies as self-directed learners.

Students in S3 and S5 were guided to set academic goals for themselves and to reflect on their process of learning through Goal-setting Workshops. Special programmes were prepared for S3 students to guide them on Choice of Subjects for S4. In S4 & S5, students reflected on their achievements and journey of learning when completing their Student Learning Profile. The school-based Mentorship Programme was also held for S5 students to enable them to make informed plans for further studies and future career. S6 students had a special programme A Journey to My Dreams after the HKDSE to help them reflect on their strengths, interests and aspirations for their future.

Evaluation and Reflection Being the 3rd and last year in the 3-year School Development Plan, Subject Panels demonstrated a good grasp of the gist of the 21st Century Competencies. Refinements based on evaluation in the first year were evident. Success Criteria were more specific and coherent with the Strategy Grids, Programme Plans and Schemes of work, to facilitate the effectiveness of evaluation and refinement of strategies.

Through various learning skills programmes, students were further guided to become competent self-directed and reflective learners and to practice reflection ‘as’ a process of learning. The majority of students showed a good understanding of the basic concepts of the 21st Century Competencies and a readiness to acquire the relevant information and skills for subject knowledge. Most students were able to select and apply information and skills in a more competent manner to make sensible judgment and decision. They demonstrated a habit of reflection, a holistic consideration of different views to propose practical solutions to

20 problems, an ability to respond to their learning development and needs by finding out-of-the- box solutions, and connecting what they have learnt to future application and real life situations.

1.2 To maximize learning opportunities for students to apply and practice the skills as self-directed and reflective learners with 21st Century Competencies

Achievements As in previous years, school life in MSS was vibrant with a good variety of school activities and learning opportunities. Many of these activities extended learning beyond classroom, provided authentic learning experiences and developed students into self-directed and life-long learners. For S1, the theme for JUMP was Come See Our Heritage, Our Hong Kong. Students went on a Field Trip to the Hong Kong Museum of History during LWL Day 2. Following that, students studied the culture and heritage of Hong Kong in groups to select and introduce 3 products of Hong Kong which were representative historically, culturally and economically. They pitched their findings to the class using creative presentation methods. For S2, the newly revamped LEAD+ programme had the theme of SuperHeroes Saving Us from Typhoon Durian! The programme which is now a one-year programme, started off with an Entrepreneurship Workshop on LWL Day 1, followed by A ‘Pitch’ Day at CoCoon on LWL Day 2. Students incorporated Design Thinking, empathy, creativity, 3D-Printing, Makey-Makey and other technologies and presented their learning outcomes at a Showcase in June to all MSS S1 and MPS P5 students. Guests from other school were extremely impressed with the creativity and confidence of the students, while the students themselves were immensely pleased with their ownership of the project. Three groups of S1 students were selected to showcase their experimental design of an Integrated Science project on the theme “Energy Conversion” at an exhibition organized by the Catalyst Education Lab at Cyberport together with students from St. Stephen’s Girls College, St. Paul’s College and Logos Academy. One of the groups won the highest number of votes for the most well-liked experiment.

One class of S2 students visited the Future of Living Expo Exhibition and all S2 students went on Court Visits to have an authentic experience of the court. 29 students from S3 went on a one-day Chinese History Tour to Guangzhou. S5 Geography students went on field trips to Cheung Chau, while S4, S5 and S6 Biology students went on field trips to Tai Po, Hoi Ha Wan and Mai Po to make observation, take records and conduct on-site investigations. Another group of S1 and S2 students went to Zhongshan to learn more about the traditional food industry in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Bay Exploration Series. S5 Physics students participated in the experiential learning Physics in Motion programme at Ocean Park to further understand Physics concepts involved in the Ocean Park rides and simulations.

As in previous years, various study tours and excursions were organized during the academic year for students to broaden their horizons and global perspective. With such exposure, students also became more self-directed learners through their voluntary participation and developed a habit of reflection when they shared what they have learnt with the rest of the school through slide shows and assembly presentations.

To further stretch their creativity & innovation, and critical thinking & problem-solving skills, students with special talents were encouraged and trained to participate in inter-school competitions and nominated for Tier 3 Gifted Programmes organized by the EDB, the HKAGE, tertiary institutions and other educational organizations, and achieved excellent results. Two S2 students who won the Champion of the 2018 Hong Kong 4D Frame Maths & Science Creativity Competition were selected for the international round in Seoul, Korea and won the Gold Prize in the 4th International Mathematical & Science Creativity Competition. Three S4 students were winners of the WYNG Philomathia Machine Learning / AI Competition on the theme “Berry Pickers” and were awarded a one-week study tour to Cambridge University in the UK. Two S5 students were winners of the Hong Kong Federation of Women’s “Through Young Eyes – Inspiring Stories of Hong Kong Women Film Competition” and were awarded a one-week study tour to the United Nations in the USA.

Evaluation and Reflection Various programmes were incorporated to provide students with the exposure to further develop their 21st Century Competencies outside the classroom setting. In junior forms, numerous learning opportunities were provided to students for them to experience a holistic and multi-dimensional learning journey. In senior forms, students were given the autonomy to select special programmes to excel. These activities complemented classroom learning and further developed students’ self-directed learning capacity.

With the latest development in STEM/STEAM education together with the revised Junior Form Science curriculum, more activities will be designed for different levels to further challenge our students in such areas. Such approach is also in line with the Renewed Major Emphases specified in the latest Senior Education Curriculum Guide.

The school will also continue to nominate and groom students for competitions and activities organized by external educational institutes.

1.3 To enhance resource support for learning and teaching

Achievement Resources were procured to support learning and teaching through eLearning to develop students as self-directed and reflective learners with 21st Century Competencies. BYOD was extended to S3 to S6 to facilitate eLearning during lessons and effect self-directed learning during other times. Currently there are a total of 80 iPads (2 class sets) for S1 to S2 students to conduct mobile learning during lessons. 19 sets of iMac were installed in the MMLC to support multi-media learning activities. Suitable APPs and electronic platforms have been purchased and installed to enhance teaching effectiveness.

Additional split classes were provided to support learner diversity in S1 - S3 Chinese Language, as well as S1 – S2 English Language and Mathematics. With smaller class size and appropriate teaching strategies, teachers could further cater for the needs of students to either stretch the potentials of more-able students or provide extra support to less-able students.

Assistant Teachers and Teaching Assistants were deployed to provide support for technical and administrative tasks to allow teachers to have more time to design and refine teaching strategies for the 21st Century Competencies and cater for student diversity. In additional, professional services were secured for Debate & Creative writing in Chinese, English Debate, Gifted Programmes in Science & STEAM, Music, Dance and Sports Teams to provide expert training to help students develop their potential and nurture their skills in various extra-curricular activities and competitions.

Evaluation and Reflection The school will continue to make use of special government grants to provide the necessary resources to help students develop 21st Century Competencies. Some of the 80 iPads may need to be replaced as they have been in use for a few years. Also, with the increase in the number of these mobile devices, a more competent Teaching Assistant with such knowledge might be necessary to monitor these devices. Further professional support of teachers to incorporate IT for effective and interactive learning would be desirable to prepare our students better for self-directed learning.

Additional teachers and teaching assistants will be employed to cater for learner diversity through the operation of small class and spilt class teaching in the Core Subjects so that students can build a solid foundation in their knowledge and skills and scaffold their learning for further challenges. All the split class arrangements were evaluated to be effective in Chinese Language, English Language and Mathematics and will be continued. Procuring professional services with specific expertise will be continued to further challenge our students to stretch their potentials.

1.4 To foster on-going professional development among teachers

Achievement On-going professional development enhances staff capacity and provides teachers with relevant knowledge and skills for current educational development.

Teachers joined various professional development programmes to enhance staff capacity, participated in the Gifted Education School Network of English Language and STEM, and the Liberal Studies School Network Project.

The CEL MIT Professional Development Tour was in its 2nd year. A total of 10 teachers took part in the three trips in October 2018, March and June 2019, to experience their motto of ‘Hands and Minds’. With the vision to better preparing our present and future generations to thrive in this transforming world, CEL aimed at breaking the boundaries of education. CEL seeks to create positive learning experiences to nurture lifelong learners, and equip students with the resolve and attributes to tackle real world problems. Building on the experience last year, the sessions were made more specific and more readily transferrable to a Hong Kong context. The experience learnt was directly used for revamping the Junior Secondary Cross- curricular Projects, namely JUMP and LEAD+.

In addition, CEL also initiated a joint-school Integrated Science Working Group with SPC, SSGC, Logos and DBS to tackle the new curriculum recently introduced. CEL not only provided professional consultation in the process, but also organized a Joint-School Integrated Science Showcase during which selected groups of S1 students presented their project on Energy.

Teachers were encouraged to attend EDB seminars on the Secondary Education Curriculum Guide as well as professional development programmes and expos on-going curriculum reform in STEM and IT education. Presentations and discussions on the Major Renewed Emphases were held at Staff Meetings, Curriculum Committee and Academic Committee meetings to consider how these can be aligned with the Major Concerns and incorporated into the school-based curriculum.

Evaluation and Reflection Capacity of our staff members was further enhanced with the latest technological experiences to refine our school programmes and teaching strategies. The MIT experience had led to a complete revamping of the school’s LEAD programme and a revamping of JUMP in the coming year. Members of the English Panel and Science Panel will continue to take part in the EDB Gifted Network programme, and a member in the Liberal Studies Panel will continue to be involved in the School Network Plan to develop useful strategies for challenging students.

Teachers will be further encouraged to attend EDB seminars on the Secondary Education Curriculum Guide as well as professional development programmes regarding the Ongoing Renewal of the School Curriculum in STEM and IT educations.

1.5 To further enhance teacher capacity, strategies and effectiveness for supporting students’ learning

The eLearning Team and STEM Team were set up in response to the Major Renewed Emphasis under Learning to Learn 2.0. To allow for multiple perspectives and a more holistic exchange of ideas, the teams involved teachers from different subject panels in addition to those from the Science and Computer disciplines. The eLarning Team aimed at promoting eLearning through capacity building and the sharing of good practices to further develop initiatives for eLearning. The STEM Team worked together to identify different methods and explore new technologies to promote STEM-related teaching and learning activities.

Dr. Dorothy Ng of the Department of Education HKU provided two workshops on curriculum and pedagogy for teaching Classical Chinese to teachers of the Chinese Language Panel in June 2018. This was followed up by another meeting in August to consolidate the plan for 2018 – 2019.

Teachers of the Core Subjects also met to review class arrangements to cater for students of diverse ability. The provision of split classes in Chinese Language, English Language and Mathematics were evaluated and reviewed. For Liberal Studies, the modular approach in S4 and S5 was supplemented by an integrated approach with consolidation lessons provided by team teaching. Teachers found this new arrangement which was introduced in S4 effective in preparing students and boosting their confidence in the subject.

Evaluation and Reflection The introduction of new Teams in the school organization was conducive to keeping the school abreast of the latest educational development in response to the signs of times. Timely involvement of external specialists provided professional support, stimulated reflections and generated new initiatives for further enrichment.

The Chinese Language panel will continue with the school-based staff development programme to consolidate strategies for Classical Chinese. The Liberal Studies panel will further refine the arrangements of consolidation lessons to help students adjust to the requirements of the subject.

Conclusion and Directions Ahead for Major Concerns A whole school approach was adopted for the implementation of the Major Concerns. Teachers developed a better understanding of the 21st Century Competencies and Heroic Leadership Qualities through reading the School Development Plan 2016-2019 and the Staff Development Programmes. Teachers and students were made aware of the Major Concerns. For the teachers, the Major Concerns were mentioned at Staff and Committee meetings. For

26 the students, the Major Concerns were printed in the School Diary and mentioned at school assemblies and other relevant programmes.

The feedback from the Subject Panels and the programme evaluation of the Student Formation Committee illustrated the relevanc and effectiveness of the different programmes in helping students develop the 21st Century Competencies and the Heroic Leadership Qualities. Evidence of this can be found in the Annual Reports of the Subject Panels and Student Formation Committee 2018-2019.

In order to learn how well students perceived the Major Concerns, a survey Evaluation of Major Concerns 2018-2019 with 42 items, was given to 86 student leaders to complete on their Evaluation Day in June 2019 (Appendix 4). Strongly Agree, Agree, Disagree and Strongly Disagree options were provided in the 4-likert scale. Results of the survey show that students have a very positive response to questions on whether they were aware of the Major Concerns; whether they have a sound understanding of the competencies and qualities; whether they are able to apply the competencies and qualities to their learning and everyday experience; and whether they considered themselves ‘self-directed’, ‘reflective’, ‘respectful’ and ‘discerning’. More than 88%, (85% in 2017-2018 and 80% in 2016-2017) of the respondents showed their agreement with all items except “Are your parents aware of the Major Concerns?” though School Major Concerns have been printed on circulars to parents and uploaded to the school homepage. Another question “Have you acquired a sound understanding of the following ‘Heroic Leadership Qualities – Heroism, through lessons and activities?” only received a 84% agreement showing that students may not have shown a good grasp of this.

In relation to Major Concern 1, after two years’ of hard work, 96% of the respondents were aware of the Major Concerns of the school. It was encouraging to see that the majority of the respondents considered themselves as both a ‘self-directed’ learner (96%) and a ‘reflective’ learner (93%). The majority of respondents shared that they have a sound understanding of the 21st Century Competencies. Among these, their understanding of ‘Critical Thinking and Problem Solving Skills’ ranked the highest (97%), while ‘Creativity and Innovation (91%) ranked the lowest. In response to whether they were able to apply these to their learning and everyday experience, their ability to apply ‘Communication and Collaboration skills” (100%) ranked the highest, while ‘Creativity & Innovation’ (89%) ranked the lowest.

On the whole, the survey showed that the school was successful and effective in communicating and instilling the 21st Century Competencies in students and provided opportunities for them to practice these skills through relevant activities and challenges. Despite this, greater effort, would have to be made to help students learn more about ‘creativity and innovation’ through the provision of opportunities in the classroom and subject-related activities in the coming cycle.

Major Concern 2 Forming the “Person” in MSS girls – Transforming students into respectful and discerning persons with Heroic Leadership Qualities (Self-awareness, Ingenuity, Love, Heroism)

2.1 To foster students’ attitudes and skills so that they can become respectful and discerning persons with Heroic Leadership Qualities

The Ten Attributes were inculcated through different activities and programmes. The Religious Education Panel took the lead to inculcate the Ten Attributes and Heroic Leadership Qualities in students. The Ten Attributes were taught in junior Religious Education lessons and practised in the S3 service project. The concepts of the 4 pillars in Heroic Leadership Qualities, Self-awareness, Ingenuity, Love and Heroism were introduced to S5 students.

The Student Formation Committee integrated the Major Concerns in OLE and LWL Day programmes to help students acquire the Ten Attributes and Heroic Leadership Qualities. Pastoral Care programmes such as the Road Safety Talk, Discipline Talk, Catholic Orientation Programmes were organized during the Pre-S1 Summer Workshop in August 2018 to help new S1 students to adjust to the MSS community. Also, the Little and Big Sisters Scheme for Non-Chinese Students, continued for the second year as a tailored programme to give extra assistance to the S1 Non-Chinese Students with the aim of establishing a support network and helping them to become more familiar with the learning environment at MSS.

The Life-wide Learning Day (LWL) on 7 September 2018-19 began the school year by introducing the school Major Concerns to students. Below is a summary of the activities held that day: Level AM Session PM Session S1 Zentangle Workshop Personality Dimension Workshop S1 organized by the GT organized by the GT Workshop on Voluntary Service Entrepreneurial Workshop 1 S2 organized by the ECASC organized by LEAD+ “My Dream” Goal Setting Workshop A talk on Climate Change S3 organized by the CLPT organized by the EET Adventure-based Leadership Training Camp S4 organized by the ECASC Catholic Marriage Advisory Council Admission Talks S5 (CMAC) Workshop organized by the organized by the CLPT and HKU RMET Unwrapping the Gifts of Life Welcome S6 Luncheon S6 organized by the RMET organized by MSSAA

The S1 Adjustment Programmes, S2 Voluntary Service Training, S3 My Dream Workshop, S4 Adventure-based Leadership Training, S5 Admission Talk by the University of Hong Kong and S6 Formation Programme were significant activities for developing 21st Century Competencies and Heroic Leadership Qualities in students.

In addition, an intensive leadership training Orientation Camp was provided to student leaders in September 2018. Leaders from the Student Council, the Extra-curricular Activities and Service Committee, as well as the Religious Activity Convenors learnt more about Heroic Leadership Qualities through the programmes and activities in the camp. They had the opportunity to motivate one another which is a core element in heroic leaders. As chairladies of clubs/groups or PIC of activities, they were provided with opportunities to plan and execute their proposals, one key values that was taught to them was to welcome new ideas and to listen to new suggestions before making final decisions. They also had many opportunities to develop the habit of reflection and evaluation.

Throughout the year, the Discipline Team organized Police Talks and Discipline Talks to enable students to understand the importance of respect and responsibility. With the daily prompts and reminders from Homeroom and Assistance Homeroom teachers, students learnt their roles and responsibilities of being respectful and discerning in different areas, such as their respect in wearing the school uniform, their manners to others, their use of mobile phones, etc.

The CLPT organized the S5 Joint-School Mentorship Programme (Interview Workshop) and Workplace Visits to help students make informed plans for their future studies and career. Students found that through attending the mock interviews, they learnt useful interviewing techniques. S4-S5 students took part in work place visits to the HK Sanatorium & Hospital, Mead Johnson and Reed Smith Richards Butler. These rare learning and eye- opening opportunities for work place visits were made possible through the generous support from our alumnae. Students found the visits informative and had broadened their horizons. They truly appreciated the arrangements. These visits also enabled them to reflect on whether they were suitable for the respective careers and to apply the Ten Qualities of MSS Graduates.

Service is always at the heart of MSS. The Service Committee provided Service Training Sessions during OLE periods to train S2 and S4 students on the proper attitude and skills for helping the disadvantaged. Services activities and the Service Trip to Laos as well as other Service Projects organized by Service Team, were opportunities for students to develop proper attitudes and skills when helping the disadvantaged.

MSS provided ample opportunities for students to learn, lead, apply and practice 21st Century Competencies and Heroic Leadership Qualities. This was especially observed in

House activities. Students with different talents voluntarily took up different roles on Sports Day. Some of them took part in competitions. Some served as judges and students helpers and others took up the role of spectators and members of the Cheering Team. The high quality of the House Cheering Competition proved that students were competent in communication and collaboration. The slogans created and the dance choreographed demonstrated students’ creativity. Students showed sportsmanship and respect for other competitors and the judges. All these not only required 21st Century Competencies but also the application of Heroic Leadership Qualities and the Ten Qualities of MSS Graduates.

The Big Sisters’ Programme of the GT and CLPT (for NCS students, only), and the leadership roles through the Student Council, RAC, and ECAS gave the senior students many opportunities to exercise and practice the ten attributes while they were leaders/role models. They needed to have reverence for others and to reflect on their actions throughout the year, such that they could evaluate and make improvements while holding their leadership roles. In addition, students understood that they had the responsibility to be role models for the younger students.

2.2 To maximize learning and application opportunities so that students can practise being respectful and discerning persons with Heroic Leadership Qualities

Students were provided with ample opportunities to practise being respectful and discerning persons with Heroic Leadership Qualities. All S1 to S5 students were encouraged to join different Clubs.

Members of the Health Education Team (HET) took part in the “Safer Campus: What can we do?” Student Project Competition organized by the Centre for Health Protection to strengthen prevention of unintentional injuries in school campus, and were awarded the Second Runner-up.

The Civic Education Team (CET) organized programmes to allow students opportunities to learn more about our nation and to cultivate moral and civic awareness. This year, they collaborated with the Life and Society panel and invited students to join a one-day tour to Zhongshan. This activity which enabled them to learn more about economic development of one of the cities in the Greater Bay Area of China. Students appreciated this life-wide learning experience which broadened their horizon, and enabled them to practise respect and discernment through their participation. In addition, the team took the S2 students to visit the headquarters of the ICAC during Post-Exam Activities period. They also organized other activities like the S1 Inter-class Quiz on Integrity and the S4 Interactive Drama on Integrity.

Apart from the special programmes for S1 in August, the Guidance Team (GT) organized four gatherings for S4 Big Sisters to show their love and care for S1 Little Sisters through the Big Sisters’ Scheme. The Big Sisters were caring and able to demonstrate their confidence and open-mindedness in daily activities and competitions. The Little Sisters found the Big Sisters caring, responsible and compassionate. They learned to engage each other with an honest, positive and loving attitude. The Big Sisters also taught them to know their strengths and weaknesses better. They served as excellent role models for the younger students.

In addition to Admission Talks for different local, the Career and Life Planning Team (CLPT) also invited admission officers from overseas universities, like Regis College in the USA and Yonsei University in Seoul, Korea to share with S5 and S6 students their admissions criteria to prepare them for multiple pathways in their future studies.

To further strength students’ potential, three S3 – S5 students took part in the Cambridge Programmes in Law, Science and English Literature, and two participated in the EXCEL Summer Programme for S1 – S3, according to their interest and aspiration. Both excursions oversea provided students with the opportunity to practice the 21st Century Competencies and Heroic Leadership Qualities. Three students were also nominated to participate in the Summer Career-related Experience Scheme organized by the HK Association of Careers Masters and Guidance Masters. In addition, students have had five job-shadowing experiences in the fields of Planning and Lands Development Bureau, Bank of East Asia, Des Voeux Chambers, Competition Commission, and Event Planning. Students reflected that they were grateful for these learning opportunities and have helped them reflected on their suitability for these careers.

This year, the CLPT also organized a Big Sisters’ Programme for S1 Non-Chinese Speaking Students so that the junior students could be have extra guidance from their Big Sisters, as these students needed extra assistance in adapting to a new school. They helped the younger girls to set goals in pursuing their educational goals at MSS. Through the lunch sessions of various group games and activities, the Big Sisters from S4 - S5 served as the mentors and role models in helping S1 students understand more about themselves and the Marymount community.

Finally, through many services opportunities organized by the Service Committee, RMET, GT, CLPT and the Student Council, students were able to exercise and practice the Ten Qualities while serving others. They were also able to show their care and compassion for others through their service for those in need.

The Service Committee (ECASC) organized the service projects Serving Ethnic Minority Children and Visiting the Elderly in Kwun Tong for S4 and S5 students. When organizing games or performances for the elderly, students learnt to respect the elderly and showed their love for the marginalized. Community service was a good opportunity for students to organize self-directed activities and apply heroic leadership qualities. The Service Trip to Laos (S4-S5) and Service Project for the Elderly (S3-S4) helped cultivate students’ respectful attitude for those in need. The visit to Laos had broadened students’ horizon and inspired them to see the world with more appreciation for others. The S3 and S4 Service Project also allowed students to think about the needs of the elderly.

Agile in response to social needs, 30 members of the Student Council took part in the Kat O Beach Cleaning Service Project facilitated by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization & the Hong Kong UNESCO Global Geopark in October 2018, after the massive destructions brought about by the Super Typhoon Mangkhut. As a sequel to this, two Visual Arts students collaborated with a local artist in the painting of a mural in the Kat O Story Room in August 2019.

Lastly, in order to strengthen the communication between MPS and MSS, students from MPS were inviting to the MSS School Life Tasting Programme. All the P.5 and P6 MPS students of 2018-19 each had an opportunity to visit MSS. They were invited to join lessons on subjects like Integrated Science, Technology and Living, Music, Science, P.E., Gifted Education Programmes, or the LEAD+ Showcase. This was a good opportunity for junior students, especially those in S1, to share with the primary students their learning experience at MSS.

2.3 To enhance resources support to transform students into respectful and discerning persons with Heroic Leadership Qualities

A Values Education Coordinator was employed to design programmes in RE and OLE to promote values education. The coordinator devised a Self-Awareness programme for S1, revamped the Forgiveness Education and Gratitude Education in S2 and revised the Honesty and Integrity programme for S3. In addition to this, a professional consultant on Values Education was employed to work in collaboration with the Values Education Coordinator to review and revamp the RE curriculum as well as to map out the Core Values of MSS for the School Development Plan 2019-2022.

A Teaching Assistant was employed to support students with special needs and coordinate relevant programmes. She worked closely with the SEN Support Team, school- based Educational Psychologist, school Social Worker and relevant subject teachers to provide administrative support and individual support to students with special needs.

2.4 To foster and enhance on-going professional development to teachers

In addition to the school-based staff development programmes on Positive Education & Positive Discipline at MSS and Supporting Students with Mental Health Concerns, teachers took part in the Positive Education Conference organized by the CUHK, the Bei Shan Tang Foundation, and the Geelong Institute of Positive Education. A follow-up meeting for MSS and MPS teachers who took part in the Taiwan Teacher Formation Tour was arranged for teachers to share their experience on how they have applied what they have learnt from the Tour and what plans they have for implementing other programmes in Life Education.

To provide further support for students with special needs for enhancing self-management, the school will participate in the Mindful School Culture Project offered by the University of HK in the coming year. Teachers of the Guidance and the SEN Support Teams will be encouraged to attend the Basic, Advanced and Thematic courses on catering for students with Special Educational Needs. Teachers of the Discipline Team will also be encouraged to attend courses on student guidance and discipline.

Results of Surveys APASO Survey To understand the effectiveness of the programmes in cultivating the Ten Attributes and implementing the school major concerns, APASO II was systematically administered in 2018- 2019 to evaluate students’ affective and social outcomes.

Class APASO II Scale Survey Name APASO II Scale Survey Name Administering Level (1st Term) (2nd Term) Dept./Staff

S1 . Self-Concept n/a

Computer Panel during S2 . Interpersonal Relationships n/a Computer Literacy Lessons . Ethical Conduct S3 . Motivation . Learning Competency

. Independent Learning S4 . Leadership Capacity Homeroom Teachers . Health & Well Being . Leadership during specific OLE S5 (Test Anxiety) . Independent Learning sessions in the Pastoral . Stress Management Capacity Care Programmes Composite Schedule S6 . Goals of Life . Ethical Conduct

The above results were further triangulated by the programme evaluation from the Student Formation Committee and illustrated the relevance and the effectiveness of various programmes in developing students into respectful and discerning persons with Heroic Leadership Qualities.

Conclusion and Directions Ahead for Major Concerns

A whole school approach was adopted for the implementation of the Major Concerns. Teachers developed a better understanding of the 21st Century Competencies and Heroic Leadership Qualities through reading the School Development Plan 2016-2019 and the Staff Development Programmes.

The feedback from the Subject Panels and the programme evaluation of the Student Formation Committee illustrated the relevance and effectiveness of the different programmes in helping students develop the 21st Century Competencies and the Heroic Leadership Qualities. Evidence of this can be found in the specific annual reports of the Subject Panels and Student Formation Committee 2018-2019.

In order to learn how well students perceived the Major Concerns, a School-based Stakeholder Survey 2018-2019 was conducted with 42 questions given to all teachers and half of the student community to complete in November 2018 (Appendix 4). Strongly Agree, Agree, Disagree and Strongly Disagree options were provided in the 4-likert scale. The responses to questions on whether they were ‘aware’ of the School Development Plan and the two Major Concerns were positive.

In relation to Major Concern 2, the School-based Stakeholder Survey 2018-2019 was conducted in November 2018. The response of students and teachers to specific attributes of Major Concern 2 was very positive. Teachers rated students most positively on Love, Heroism and Ingenuity. Students rated themselves most positively on Respect, Love and Heroism. Both teachers and students felt that they can further improve in Self-awareness.

Hence, the 42 school-based questions have shown that both teachers and students have reflected that Major Concern 2 had been successfully implemented in the past three years, such that evidence of success were found among the students.

The results of the APASO surveys and the School-based Stakeholder Survey 2018-19 reflected that students not only understood the concepts but also were able to apply Heroic Leadership Qualities and the Ten Attributes in their everyday life. However, their understanding of the concept of ‘Heroism’ can be further enhanced in lessons and activities.

Throughout these three years, students have become competent self-directed and respectful learners who discern with confidence and practice reflection as a process of learning. They are able to make sensible judgement and decisions based on analysis of evidence, make effective use of different views to generate new information and propose new and practical ideas to find solutions to problems. Their ingenuity has been demonstrated in daily activities and competitions.

D. Learning and Teaching

1. Reading to Learn

Achievements 1.1 Reading Time

Students continued to enjoy the regular 20-minute Reading Time on Days 1 to 4 and Days 6 to 9. Continued efforts were made to promote the reading of non-fiction by reading extensively across the curriculum, to enhance students’ 21st Century Competencies, namely literacy & numeracy and critical & creative thinking. Students of S1 to S3 were required to read non-fiction during Reading Time at two designated times of the year: 18 March – 4 April and 22 May – 5 June 2019. To encourage students to read a wider range of books to broaden their knowledge and interest in each subject, non-fiction book lists were recommended by subject panels and uploaded to the Library Homepage.

1.2 Thematic Displays

Displays were arranged in the Library at different times of the school year to promote the reading of non-fiction and to give students a better idea of the resources available.

1.3 Book Fairs and Book Sharing

To encourage students to read extensively, Book Fairs were held at different times of the year to provide an opportunity for students to purchase books of their choice. In addition, Book Sharing in Chinese for S1, Chinese Writers’ Talk for S2, Sharing on Appreciation of Non-fiction/Non-print Texts in English for S3 & S4 were carried out during Co-curricular Activity sessions to introduce students to a wider range of reading materials and to develop Reading across Curriculum.

1.4 The PTA Reading Scheme

Students continued to read actively and write outstanding reports on the books they have read. A summary of this year’s achievements is as follows:

Reading Awards for Books in English Gold Award Silver Award Bronze Award 2 11 153

Reading Awards for Books in Chinese Gold Award Silver Award Bronze Award 4 3 211

1.5 Survey on Students’ Reading Habits and Survey to Promote Reading Habits

The survey was conducted in May 2019. According to the survey, the majority of students agreed that ‘The school provides an atmosphere that encourages reading’ and ‘The School Library provides a variety of books/ reading materials for me to read’. Responses to questions on the arrangements for Reading Time show that students have continued to enjoy reading. The majority of students who visited the Thematic Displays in the Library found them interesting and attractive.

Evaluation and Reflection

With close collaboration among the Library, Subject Panels and Student Support Teams, students’ interest and habit in reading across the curriculum has gradually increased. To further enhance 21st Century Competencies through reading, continued effort will be made to promote the reading of non-fiction. Book Sharing in Chinese for S1 and Sharing on Appreciation of non-fiction and non-print texts in English (S3 – S4) will be held during the Co- curricular Activities sessions. To encourage students to read strategically for knowledge and satisfaction, the Teacher Librarian will prepare reminders for them on how to make effective use of the Reading Time. The Library will continue to co-ordinate Thematic Displays for different Subject Panels and Student Support Teams while teachers will take students to the Library during lesson time and set interesting learning tasks on the displays for them to complete

2. Learning through Project Work

Achievements 2.1 Subject-specific Project Work

Level Subject Topic/Title S1 Integrated Science Energy S1 Geography Land uses and urban problems in my neighbourhood S2 History Research on the historical development of one of Hong Kong’s Heritage S2 Chinese History 時代與知識分子專題研習 S2 Mathematics Statistical Research S3 EPA Social Issues S3 Geography The impact of shifting industries on Hong Kong: Challenges and Opportunities S4 Physics Heat Transfer Process S5 Liberal Studies Independent Enquiry Study S5 Biology Biology FameLab S6 ICT Multimedia Production and Website Development

Subject-specific project work was carried out by subject panels at different levels to provide opportunities for students to develop 21st Century Competencies, in particular critical thinking & problem-solving skills, and creativity & innovation. Students acquired communication & collaboration skills through group work. In the junior secondary level, project work was introduced as an extended assignment while in the senior secondary level, 38 project work fulfilled the requirements of school-based assessment. In the case of Independent Enquiry Studies (IES) for Liberal Studies, workshops and individual supervision were provided for all students in S5 and S6.

2.2 Cross-curriculum Project Learning

Level Subject Topic/Title Junior One Understanding and Come See Our Heritage, S1 Managing Project Learning (JUMP) Our Hong Kong Learning through Engineering, Art Super Heroes Saving Us from S2 and Design (LEAD+) Typhoon Durian!

Cross-curriculum projects at S1 and S2 co-ordinated by the Computer Panel continued to play an important part in equipping students with the nine generic skills and in preparing them for inquiry-based studies at the senior secondary level. S1 JUMP provides challenges for students in the PSHE KLA. S2 LEAD+ has been revamped completely from a half-year programme into a full-year one, with the addition of components like empathy, entrepreneurship and other technologies learnt at MIT. Fine-tuning of the design of the school-based programmes have been made for horizontal and vertical coherence with the curricula of other KLAs through curriculum integration.

Evaluation and Reflections Project work is still considered as an effective means for students to consolidate materials learnt in the subject and provide opportunity for students to exercise self-directed learning. In many cases, students will be given the autonomy to choice sub-topic for investigation and thus work on something they are interested in. To further align project learning with the recent curriculum reform, the direction ahead would be to develop eLearning and gifted elements in project learning.

The revamping of the LEAD+ proves to be a tremendous success. The incorporation of the new components learnt at MIT not only updated the STEAM element in LEAD+ but also expanded it to cover areas like language arts, liberal arts, empathy and entrepreneurship. The school will build on such success experiences to further refine the LEAD+.

Moreover, the school has started preparing for the revamping of the JUMP programme in S1 in the coming year. JUMP which is a humanities cross-disciplinary project would be further refined through the strengthening of elements like design-thinking and problem- solving, values education, entrepreneurship to enhance student autonomy and ownership.

3. IT for Interactive Learning

Achievements 3.1 BYOD & eLearning

With the availability of Wifi and the relevant staff development programmes, a larger number of teachers adopted eLearning to engage students and help them develop 21st Century Competencies. BYOD is employed from S3 onwards. Students enjoyed the convenience of using mobile devices for learning during lessons and for self-directed learning at other times. Students in S1 and S2 made use of iPads and the relevant Apps for learning in an increasing number of subjects. The convenient use of mobile devices during lessons facilitated student- centred learning, instant assessment and immediate feedback for students. Outside the classroom, students also made use of mobile devices to enhance their learning during field trips, life-wide learning activities and world classroom programmes. The eLearning Team continued to co-ordinate and support teacher initiatives and promote the use of iPads and suitable Apps for teaching, learning and student assessment. Teaching Assistants were employed through government grants to provide extra support for the logistics.

3.2 Extensive use of IT and Multi-media

IT and multi-media continued to be indispensable tool for learning and teaching. Students and teachers used IT as a tool for knowledge acquisition, knowledge exchange and knowledge management. Students used computer programmes for data processing and class presentations, searched for information on the internet and made use of online programmes for self-directed learning. Teachers and students made use of Google accounts and eClass for sharing teaching and learning materials, and for online assessment and exercises. Surveys were carried out and processed through the ePlatform. In addition, the Geography Department collaborated with CUHK in conducting a session to train students in creating VR teaching materials. The Chinese History Department also asked students to take 360 photos and create VR materials from their Xian Excursion, which were used to as learning materials for junior form students.

Evaluation and Reflections The eLearning Grant will be used to procure additional iPads and the relevant Apps as well as learning platforms to further enhance the effectiveness of IT for both independent and interactive learning. The promotion of eLearning will also be conducted through sharing of good practices among staff members. Students would gradually be transformed from a consumer of IT resources to creators of IT resources. This not only provides students with a platform for creativity but also an ownership of their work.

4. Student Learning Time

Achievement To maximize student learning, a total of 190 active learning days were included in the school calendar. Of these, there were a total of 160 Cycle Days for normal lessons and 30 non- cycle days for assessment and other learning activities e.g. Sports Day, Swimming Gala, Picnic Day, Life-wide Learning Days etc. Special effort was made to balance out the number of cycle days within the year to ensure that learning time was not lost due to school holidays and other learning activities.

Evaluation and Reflections In order to maximize learning time, especially for senior secondary students, the school increased the number of Cycle Days for normal lessons and reduced disruption to the normal hours of school days. Schedule A for whole day school with dismissal at 3:30 replaced some Schedule C for half-day school in September and Schedule B for Summer Time in May / June. To further increase the learning time for Electives in S4, the number of lessons per Elective will be increased from 7 to 8 per cycle in 2019-2020. This has been made possible by the restructuring of the school-based Religious Education curriculum.

E. Support for Student Development

In the Pastoral Care Division (Division 3, D3), nine different Student Formation Committees along with four different Student Support Committees and the ECAS Committee, all together, play an important role in forming the ‘Persons’ in MSS girls and transforming students into respectful and discerning persons with Heroic Leadership Qualities. To achieve this goal, the division provides pastoral care to students to help them develop the Ten Attributes of being Caring, Compassionate, Confident, Respectful, Responsible, Reflective, Honest, Open-minded, Wise and Discerning individuals.

The school ethos of nurturing students into integrated persons of Wisdom, Care, Love and Compassion and Christian values have always been the guiding principles of values education for students within and beyond the classrooms. The division is committed to align its mission with the school ethos and the school’s major concerns in catering for a balanced and whole person development for students upon their admission to MSS.

1. Moral, Civic and National Education

In MSS, values education refers to moral education, civic education and national education. The Career and Life Planning Team, Civic Education Team, Culture and Heritage Team, Discipline Team, Guidance Team, Health Education Team, Religious and Moral Education Team, Extra-Curricular Activities & Services Committee and House Committee are all responsible for implementing programmes and activities that would instill the proper concepts of moral, ethical and civic education in students. In addition, programmes included Basic Law education, human rights education, national education, anti-drug education, life education, and education for sustainable development.

Below are some highlights of programmes related to the moral, civic and national education that were carried out in the past school year:

2. Career and Life related Experiences

In 2018-2019, the Career and Life Planning Team (CLPT) continued to help students with their self-understanding, personal planning, goal setting, searching of their multiple pathways and developing a habit of reflections.

Through different programmes, the CLPT was able to help students from all levels participate in different types of career and/or life planning activities. Some highlights of the activities/programmes arranged by the team for the students include the following:

Level Activity / Programme Brief Description S5 Joint-School Mentorship To allow students to participate in mock interviews, Programme and to build more confidence in communicating with others and mastering interview skills S4-S5 Visits to Workplaces: To allow students the first-hand experiences of visiting - Hong Kong Sanatorium & work places of different fields, to broaden their Hospital horizons and to help them reflect on their interests - Mead Johnson - Reed Smith Richards Butler S3 Graduates’ sharing on how to To allow S3 students to understand from recent MSS select your “Choice of Subjects” graduates on how to choose their choice of subjects for S4-S6 S2 Seminar of Study Skills by Yan A workshop to help S2 students to build better studying Oi Tong skills S1 Workshop on “My Assets” by Workshops to guide S1 students to have a better self- HKFYG understanding about their attitudes, skills and knowledge * Please see more details in the individual reports of the committee. 44

With the CLPG, the team was able to acquire extra manpower to share out some of the teachers’ duties and also more money to support students to visit different activities. Teachers had more time to deeper consider more programmes to cater for the diverse needs of students, and to provide a wider range of career education activities for students of different levels. The feedback on the different programmes offered by the Career and Life Planning Team was very positive. Hence, the team will continue to offer similar programmes in the coming years.

The school was granted the Caring School Award in the Award Scheme organized by the Hong Kong Christian Service and the Hong Kong Association of Careers Master and Guidance Master in recognition the Team has achieved in the school’s career and life planning programmes.

3. Community Service

In order to inculcate the Ten Qualities progressively through activities and programmes, the pastoral care teams planned different opportunities for students to serve the community. S1 students were encouraged to participate in ECA activities so as to learn how to respect themselves and others, and to increase their sense of belonging to the school community. The S2 Service Training Workshops and assembly programmes focused on respect and care for others. The S3 Flag Selling services and ECA workshops aimed at promoting the attributes of being responsible, reflective and compassionate. In S3, the Religious Education Department organized a guided Service Project through which students planned an activity to serve the elderly. The S4 Service Project involved a series of training workshops. Students of S4 to S6 developed the attributes of being confident, responsible, respectful, reflective, discerning and open-minded through ECAS leadership posts, leadership training camps, service projects and the Service Trip to Laos.

Below are some highlighted service activities in 2018-19: # of Total # of Activity Description Location participants service hours

The number of service awards and Kiwanis Community Service Awards that students received in 2019 as well as the number of service hours which were well beyond the requirement of the school show students’ willingness to serve and their strong sense of responsibility to the community.

4. Support for students with Special Educational Needs

In addition to the support of the school-based Educational Psychologist from EDB and the school Social Worker from Caritas, a full-time Teaching Assistant was employed to provide administrative and logistical support for SEN and IEP students to help them develop study skills, social skills and self-management skills. Subjects teachers were asked to complete observation reports of students and case conferences were held to evaluate the needs and progress of students with special needs. Special examination arrangements were also provided for students with such needs.

The following is a summary of the special programmes organized by the SEN Support Team in 2018-2019:

Programmes Sessions Date / Period Speech Therapy Sessions 16 November 2018 – May 2019 Social Skills Sessions 8 November 2018 – January 2019 Chinese Language Enhancement Sessions 15 November 2018 – January 2019 Visit to the Jockey Club Life Journey Centre 1 April 2019

The SENST was able to provide more support for SEN students and also broadened their scope of life by organizing service projects, social skills trainings and the Chinese Language Enhancement Groups. Moreover, with the help of a Teaching Assistant, the team organized more workshops and small groups to cater for the different needs of SEN students.

Marymount Secondary School Co-Curricular Activities (CCA) 2018-2019

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. Co-curricular activities involving the whole school have been scheduled on different cycle days within the school year. 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). To accommodate a greater variety of learning experiences, co-curricular activities for individual subjects and individual levels have been scheduled at other times of the year. 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 day after the CCA 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.
