The school not only implements paper recycling, but also encourages energy saving by using electrical appliances with Grade 1 energy label and energy saving lights. The air conditioning system is on only when the temperature is 26 degrees Celsius or above and all electrical appliances must be switched off when all the students leave the classroom. Learning and Teaching Plan Whole-school Language Policy: To enable our students to be biliterate and trilingual is our language policy. An English-rich environment is built through the implementation of English Thursday which is a whole year programme. The use of the language is promoted through the English Square and English Learning Centre, together with signs, notices, announcements and Campus TV broadcast all in English at school. Different English learning activities are organised at appropriate times all the year round to help improve students' language ability and allow them to have a better understanding of the English culture. The fine-tuned medium of instruction arrangements has been implemented. Extended learning activities in English are conducted in some of the subjects taught in S.1 to S.3 classes. Learning and Teaching Strategies: Catering for individual differences among students is the basic principle in the design of our student-centred curricula. Our main foci in junior forms are on Information Technology and extensive reading, and making our students biliterate and trilingual. In Chinese, English and Mathematics, differentiation is adopted, and students in junior forms are put into five groups from every four classes to enable more effective learning and teaching. To boost teacher-student and student-student interaction, an information-technology based interactive learning and teaching mode is employed in senior forms. Supplementary lessons, tests and mock examinations are arranged after school to help prepare students for the public examination. To meet the need of the secondary curriculum, very clear and specific working plans, and learning-teaching strategies are devised. The Curriculum Development Committee help every subject devise long-term policies for their curriculum. School-based Curriculum: 1. Electives: 2X. The school offers sufficient elective subjects and subject combinations for students according to their will and choices. 2. Curriculum highlights: The school provides a diversified curriculum for senior secondary students. Secondary Four students choose two elective subjects according to their interests and abilities. Students are allowed to replace one of the elective subjects with an Applied Learning subject when they are in Secondary Five. Development of Key Tasks: The school’s Moral and Civic Education section focuses on providing an all-round education and helps students to develop positive values and attitudes through seven learning experiences: morning assembly, life education, weekly assembly, current affairs awareness activity, national identity education activity, charity activity, and uniformed groups. Different types of reading activities are organised to encourage self learning, interacting and sharing to help improve students' knowledge of the world and construct a good reading atmosphere. Chinese and English reading lessons are implemented in S.1 and S.2 classes. Through different classroom learning activities, the school aims at nurturing students' interest in reading. The school strives to promote the use of information technology to teach students how to use different information technology tools appropriately through diversified information technology learning activities, experiential learning activities and a project learning programme so as to strengthen interaction between teachers and students and among students themselves to uplift learning and teaching efficiency and effectiveness. Career and Life Planning: In order to offer our students a better career and life planning education and career guidance, our school has taken part in various educational projects, including the Deloitte 'Pass the Torch' Mentorship Programme, the Life Buddies Mentorship Programme coordinated by Commission of Poverty and a five-year career and life adventure planning programme targeting young people known as “CLAP for Youth @ JC”, Career and Life Adventure Planning Programme for Youth, which is funded by a HK$500 million donation from the Hong Kong Jockey Club’s Charities Trust. The Hong Kong Jockey Club will steer the project and work with The Chinese University of Hong Kong and Hong Kong Baptist University. We are also the first school to have a high-degree collaboration with The Chinese University of Hong Kong and The Evangelical Lutheran Church of Hong Kong. Student Support Whole School Approach to Cater for Student Diversity: There is a homework guidance lesson in all Secondary One classes in which students finish doing their homework and consolidate what they have learned with the help and guidance of teachers. In junior forms, students are put into groups and differentiated instruction is adopted in Chinese, English and Mathematics to help cater for student diversity. Through Project WISE, various learning courses are implemented to help more able students learn better. The Student Learning Support Team and the Student Leadership Development Committee have been established to foster our students to be the elite. The implementation of Student Support Social Workers Services and Newly Arrived Students Support Scheme allows all students to have an equal opportunity to enjoy their campus life. Whole School Approach to Integrated Education: The school adopts a whole school approach to the implementation of integrated education. The Student Support Committee established aims at providing appropriate and diversified support services to improve students’ learning effectiveness and communication skills so as to help them integrate into their campus life. The school attaches great importance to home-school cooperation, and lets parents understand their children’s learning at school through various channels so that the school and parents can support students’ learning and growth with joint efforts. Measures to provide adaptation for Learning and Assessment: Students' performance in different aspects is assessed under the principles of assessment for learning as well as assessment of learning. By using real-time, continuous and formative assessment strategies and providing immediate feedback, student learning is effectively facilitated and enhanced. Students' learning difficulties are identified with the help of the school-based test and examination data collected, and learning and teaching strategies are then appropriately adjusted to allow students of different abilities to strive for excellence. Home-School Co-operation and School Ethos Home-School Co-operation: To enhance home-school cooperation, the Parent-Teacher Association holds meetings and organises different parent-child activities regularly, such as Caring and Warmth Giving knitting classes, visits to the elderly living alone, a barbecue evening, parent-child picnic, parent education talk and a Secondary One orientation day for parents. Parents’ participation is encouraged through parent's days and various parent-child activities to help build a better learning environment. School Ethos: In order to provide holistic care to students, there are three class teachers in each of the Secondary One classes while there are two in each of the other classes. Based on the Mau Fung Students Development Framework, every subject and section in school will provide support in every aspect to help the development and growth of our students, to foster their good characters and leadership to pave the way for them to pursue their goals and become Brilliant Maufungers.

Orientation Activities and Healthy Life A summer Orientation Program is provided for all S.1 new comers immediately after registration. It provides new S.1 students a chance to experience secondary school life. At the same time, all activities will help new students adapt to the school environment and facilities at an earlier stage. Parents are invited to take part in some of the activities to enhance communication with our teachers. S.1 Parents' Day is arranged to let parents know more about our school, while the school can get to know more about their concerns, expectation and children's needs. Our school emphasises supporting students in developing healthy and positive values, thus there is a focus on progressing our Life Education subject. Topics include teaching self love, self worth and gratitude; to value life, equality and honesty; and to care for communities. We use teachers’ experience to influence behaviour, and to convey the message of love through classroom teaching and non-classroom activities including morning assemblies. The school will also liaise with sponsoring organisations to create activities to develop students’ positive approach to life and values, so that students can recognize and understand the real meaning of life. 明愛元朗陳震夏中學 Caritas Yuen Long Chan Chun Ha Secondary School

School Characteristics School Management School's Major Concerns: 1. Through different teaching methods and activities, improve students’ enthusiasm for learing. 2. To guide students in establishing goals, improving their self-confidence and self-image. School Management Organisation: The school is managed by the Incorporated Management Committee and School Administrative Committee. The school administration is divided into ten domains. They are School Development, General Affairs, Academic, Counseling, Discipline, Career and Guidance, Information Technology, Student Affairs, Religious and Moral Education and Student Activities. We emphasize two-way communication and open participation. We also encourage parents and students to voice their views in order to enhance the school development. Incorporated Management Committee / School Management Committee / Management Committee: The school supervisor is the chairman of the Incorporated Management Committee, and a total of 15 committee members including the principal, parent managers, teacher Managers, alumni manager and an independent manager. They are responsible for supervising and rendering guidance on school development. School Green Policy: Our green school policy is to enhance student awareness of the campus environment through programs like Reduce & Recycle. Waste separation, Recycling and Energy Conservation activities aim to help students make “green” changes to their lives. The Environmental Protection program encourages students to bring plastic bottles, old batteries and clothes in for recycling, to help reinforce the message of waste reduction. New taps and lights with digital sensors have been installed too. Posters on waste reduction, recycling and saving electricity are posted around the school campus. We aim at creating environmental awareness among students and staff. Learning and Teaching Plan Whole-school Language Policy: The school adopts Chinese as the medium of instruction, which enables our students to learn, analyse problems and express views more effectively. In order to raise students’ exposure to English and maximize the opportunity of learning English, extended learning activities have also been arranged in addition to the formal English lessons and oral lessons conducted by our NET teacher. Learning and Teaching Strategies: We put emphasis on bridging and enhancement in learning in junior forms to ensure our students have built a solid foundation for the challenging Senior Secondary curriculum. Students are encouraged to play an active role in classroom learning, e-learning, extensive reading and “Other Learning Experiences” (OLE). We provide a broad senior secondary curriculum to allow students to choose subjects that suit their learning abilities and interests. To develop students’ self-learning abilities, our school has Community-based Projects, after-school learning support for junior form students, and after-school and holiday tutorials for senior form students, to ensure students’ continuous learning beyond school hours. School-based Curriculum: 1. Electives: 2X. Students can choose 2 out of 11 elective subjects offered based on their own ability and needs. 2. Curriculum highlights: Junior form curriculum covers different learning areas, including Languages, Mathematics, Science, Computer, Technology, Art, Music and Physical Education whereas the senior form curriculum is designed to meet students’ interests and needs in pursuing further education. The elective subjects are also arranged in such a way to fulfill the idea of “Integration of Science and Art in one stream”. Development of Key Tasks: Various working committees including English learning, reading promotion, life-wide learning and voluntary service have been set up to provide an all-round education. For English and Mathematics, our school has allocated additional English and Mathematics teachers to achieve small class teaching. We also encourage studies in different subjects through these, we can adopt different pedagogies such as elearning, flipped classroom etc. to improve the effectiveness of learning and teaching. For the coming year, we also implement BYOD(bring your own device) for our S.1 students to enhance classroom interaction as well as students’ ability in self-directed learning, problem-solving and collaboration. To foster students’ personal growth, all S.4 students are engaged in the Hong Kong Award for Young People (AYP) pledging to attain a bronze medal or above. These programmes aim at developing students’ perseverance and positive attitude. In addition, the school has been selected by The Sports Federation & Olympic Committee of Hong Kong, China under the program of “Sports Legacy” Pilot Scheme, to become one of the 14 schools in Hong Kong, which can receive training for students in the sports of indoor rowing and canoeing. The coaching and training of both sports are given by retired athletes whose expertise in the areas concerned can raise students’ interest and help identify students with potential in the related areas. The school also encourages students to participate in different voluntary services. They not only develop their leadership skills but also make contributions to society. Career and Life Planning: Career and life planning are composed of four parts: “Exploration of various occupation opportunities through career-related experiences”, “Understanding of one’s interests, aptitude, values and life goals with the help of career assessments”, “Preparation of transition-exploring various options,” and “individual advice in relation to education and career goals”. Activities are put through as a whole school approach and all forms are involved in a progressive manner. Through participation, students understand and know more about their inclination for a future career, interests and their aptitude. By knowing more about themselves, students set targets for their career and life, and work towards them throughout their school life. By the time they have completed secondary education, their adaptability and the rate of pursuing further studies will be enhanced accordingly. The school has also collaborated with a number of organisations to offer students the opportunity of job shadowing and internship. Student Support Whole School Approach to Cater for Student Diversity: 1) The design of curriculum is to cater for learner diversity. Differentiated worksheets and exam papers for junior form students address students’ learning progress and assess their performance more accurately, help students build confidence and strength in learning. Additional counselors and social workers have been employed to provide professional support to students and parents. 2) Differentiated materials of 3 levels are designed for catering students learning diversity in each subject. Curriculum level: Tailored curriculum and differentiated worksheets Lessons level: The use of various questioning skills and a great variety of teaching strategies such as co-operative learning in groups Assessment level: Differentiated examination papers Whole School Approach to Integrated Education: Student support team has been established for holistic coverage of students with special education needs. The member includes Special Educational Needs Coordinator, Special Educational Needs Support teacher, counselling teachers, social worker and counsellors. To enhance the effectiveness of Integrated Education, frequent and regular professional meetings will be conducted with educational psychologists. Teachers are encouraged to receive relevant training in special education so as to enhance the professional capacity of teaching force. With the support of the Learning Support Grant and other school funding, our school has a “360o student support scheme” which provides one specialist staff (social worker / counselor, teacher) for each SEN students. Different activities are also provided for SEN students to cater their academic and personal growth, including: 1. Personal Growth Education lesson 2. Training group 3. Interest group Measures to provide adaptation for Learning and Assessment: 1) To assess students’ academic performance, examinations are held in the first and second school terms.

Students are allowed to have differentiated assessment as advised by the teachers and parents. Home-School Co-operation and School Ethos Home-School Co-operation: Parents are undoubtedly partners of the school. To fulfil the goal of nurturing students, both the school and parents have been working closely to maintain a good rapport. An important initiative to let us know more about the needs of our students is paying annual home visits. The Parent-Teacher Association of the school has always been supportive of the school's development. It strives to promote bilateral communication between parents and the school. It provides the school with a reliable feedback mechanism in policy making and liaison, and developing a communication network for parents. To acknowledge students' accomplishments, various scholarships are offered by the PTA every year. School Ethos: Our school puts enormous emphasis on our students’ moral development. We are especially concerned with merging the professionalism of discipline and counseling as a means to develop both our students’ psyche and physique. In order to fulfill this vision, there are programmes for character building. Moreover, there is a comprehensive syllabus on moral education to cultivate in our students a wholesome character, a sense of collaboration, and to be both civic-minded and environmentally conscious. Under the “Character Building Plan”, every student is taken care of by the Form Master in order to cultivate a positive outlook towards life, and a sense of perseverance and responsibility. Teachers will follow up on students with individual needs and assist them in building self-respect, confidence and self-reliance. Future Development School Development Plan: I. Offer scholarships and award schemes to recognize students’ achievements. II.

Secondary School

School Characteristics School Management School's Major Concerns: 1. Promoting Interactive Pedagogy and Raising Learning Effectiveness. 2. Upholding Holistic Pastoral Care and Fostering Team Spirit among Students. 3. Optimizing Teaching Strategies and Building a Professional Teaching Team. School Management Organisation: Our School Management Committee members are all experienced educators. The school’s Principal and all middle managers of the school are well-qualified in the subjects and areas concerned. The whole school is run under the leadership of the Principal and the School Executive Committee. They lead four main committees (Academic Development, Student Development, Administration & Support and IT Development) and 30 subject or functional groups. Incorporated Management Committee / School Management Committee / Management Committee: Professor Yuen-sang Leung; Mr. Joshua Yau; The Rt. Rev. Dr. Thomas Soo, JP; Dr. Alvin Chan; Mr. David Wong; Dr. Eddie Ho; Mr. Yan-kee Cheng; Ms. Pauline Ng, JP; Dr. Shir-ming Shen; Mr. Karl Lau; Mr. Steve Chan; Mr. Dennis Chan School Green Policy: Please refer to http://www.cymcass.edu.hk Learning and Teaching Plan Whole-school Language Policy: The medium of instructions for junior students is mainly in English so as to enhance their English efficacy. Senior students can select the medium of instructions for their elective subjects in order that they can fully grasp the subject knowledge and achieve the best grades. Learning and Teaching Strategies: Our school advocates “CHING-CHUNG G21 Empowerment Learning” which refers to Ching-Chung’s use of Google to offer empowerment learning for students in the 21st century. What is the main objective of empowerment learning? We believe the assistance provided from parents and teachers to children whenever they encounter difficulties is temporary only. The ultimate educational goal should be to empower children to be responsible for their own learning. Teachers’ step-by-step guidance throughout the learning process and letting students stand on their own feet at the right time are all crucial to develop their ability to learn how to learn. The two main keys to the success of empowerment learning lie on whether we believe our students have the ability to learn how to learn and whether we can offer appropriate kits and strategies to empower their learning.

In order to provide appropriate kits and strategies to facilitate empowerment learning, we are going to further develop our original “K-U-C-A” (Knowing-Understanding-Consolidating-Asking) teaching methodology on a Google-based interactive e-learning platform which allows students to learn beyond the limits of time and space. Teachers would be able to tailor-make diversified teaching materials on this platform to better cater for individual students’ needs. Materials like tutorial videos, lesson broadcast, interactive surveys, live-broadcast of activities, lesson notes, assessments, etc. will all be made available on the platform to facilitate students’ learning. Students can make full use of the materials for lesson preparation and consolidation. They would also be able to discuss with their peers and teachers, ask each other questions, do exercises and assignments, take assessments, receive timely feedback, etc. inside and outside classrooms. Moreover, students are allocated into classes according to mixed abilities so as to avoid labeling effects. However, for the subjects of Chinese Language, English Language and Mathematics, students are allocated into different small groups according to their abilities to cater for their individual needs. School-based Curriculum: 1. Electives: 3X. We offer more than 300 subject combinations to suit students' individual interests and ability to prepare them for their future. 2. Curriculum highlights: We provide various activities to promote students’ sense of responsibility, respect and care for others, as well as the ability to differentiate right from wrong. The activities are : DEAR Time (Drop Everything And Read), morning assemblies, lunch time activities, weekly assemblies, pastoral time, co-curricular activities and other whole-person activities.

Moreover, in order to increase learning efficacy, we design school-based curricula for Business Studies, Chinese History, Christian Education, English Drama, Information and Communication Technology, STEM in junior forms. Development of Key Tasks: Through DEAR TIME reading, morning assemblies, lunch time activities, Religious Education, pastoral time and local and overseas study trips, we instill moral and civic education in students.

We develop students' learning habits through daily editorial reading in the morning, DEAR time and other reading programmes.

With the support of our school’s wireless network system, the use of Chromebook, Google applications and other e-learning platforms enable our students to develop good self-learning habits. Career and Life Planning: We collaborate with Chinese YMCA of Hong Kong (Life Planning Section) to offer our school-based life planning programme, which aims at fostering students’ self-understanding, personal planning and goal setting abilities. Through various career exploration opportunities, including workplace visits, career talks, Chinese New Year Fairs, mock interview workshops, career tests, summer internship programmes, etc., students are equipped with the necessary knowledge, skills and attitude to make well-informed and wise choices in accordance with their own interests, abilities and orientations. Student Support Whole School Approach to Cater for Student Diversity: In order to cater for individual needs, students are allocated into different small groups according to their abilities for the subjects of Chinese Language, English Language and Mathematics. We have two different timetables for the first and second terms in order to provide our students with suitable and flexible courses to suit their needs. For senior forms, we offer more than 300 subject combinations to suit students’ individual interests and ability to prepare them to make the best choice for their future. We organize after-school courses to cater for students’ different learning needs and their growth. Whole School Approach to Integrated Education: The Inclusive Educational Committee of our school is led by one of our senior teachers. The senior teacher obtaining the Master Degree in Special Educational Needs is the Coordinator of the Special Educational Needs in our school. The members of the Committee include our school social workers, counselling teachers as well as subject teachers. The Committee aims at providing developmental and counselling work. It systematically offers supports and trainings to teachers, designs appropriate programs and assessments for students with different needs in order to cater for their needs in learning and growth timely. Moreover, we will invite external professionals to provide support and counselling for students with different needs and their parents. Education Support for Non-Chinese Speaking (NCS) Students: Our school provides additional support for NCS students to facilitate their learning of Chinese: appoints additional teacher(s)/teaching assistant(s) to support NCS students’ learning of Chinese; arranging intensive Chinese learning and teaching mode(s), e.g. pull-out learning if necessary, split-class/group learning, etc.; developing school-based Chinese Language curriculum and/or adapting learning and teaching materials; and organising cultural integration activities. Our school will arrange NCS students to take the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education (HKDSE-CN) and the International General Certificate of Secondary Education(IGCSE,GCE-CN). Measures to provide adaptation for Learning and Assessment: In the assessment of teaching and learning, we put emphasis on the application of Assessment for Learning to enhance the effectiveness of students’ learning. Subject teachers adjust their method of assessment according to students’ ability for timely and appropriate feedback. We therefore conduct various kinds of formative assessments to evaluate students’ progress in order to offer more incentive for them to learn actively and effectively. In practice, teachers of junior forms adjust the progress to suit students’ ability in order that they can learn towards an objective. Fee Remission Scheme: Our school offers a school fee subsidy scheme for students in need Needy students, including those from families receiving the Comprehensive Social Security Assistance (CSSA) and students receiving financial assistance provided by the Student Finance Office of the Working Family and Student Financial Assistance Agency (WFSFAA), could apply for fee remission.Application can be submitted at anytime and the subsidy can be offered up to full school fee remission. - Please visit the web-link in our school’s website for details of school fee remission scheme, including the family income limits. Home-School Co-operation and School Ethos Home-School Co-operation: We have set up the Parents’ Resources Centre in order to strengthen the bond and collaboration between parents and the school. In addition, the Home-School Collaboration Committee encourages parents to take part in various activities. School Ethos: We follow and practise our school motto “Glorify God and Love Others”. We encourage our students to cultivate a well-balanced character based upon the Bible to meet the challenges of the ever-changing world. In such harmonious learning atmosphere, students can truly develop a character of self-respect as well as respect for God and others. Future Development School Development Plan: Please refer to http://www.cymcass.edu.hk. Teacher Professional Training and Development: We have an outstanding teaching force. All our teachers possess a bachelor degree as well as professional qualification. More than 40% of our staff holds a master degree or doctorate degree.

School Characteristics School Management School's Major Concerns: Learning through Diversity, Growing with Positivity. School Management Organisation: We are one of the first batch of schools establishing the Incorporated Management Committee and Performance Pledges. To guarantee the quality of education, experienced educationists and professors from CUHK and EdUHK are appointed as our academic advisors who offer us recommendations on the effectiveness of the teaching and learning methods we adopt. The School Administration Board, led by the principal, is responsible for the day-to-day operation of the school and collaborating the work of different committees and departments. Incorporated Management Committee / School Management Committee / Management Committee: Since 1996, School Management Initiatives has been implemented to improve the administration of the school. In 2005, the Incorporated Management Committee (IMC) of CUHK FAA Thomas Cheung Secondary School was established. Teacher, alumni and parent representatives elected through votes are invited to join the IMC to enhance the effectiveness and accountability of the administration and management of the school. School Green Policy: We care about the environment. The Environmental Protection Club of the school usually works together with the Moral and Civic Education Committee to organize programmes to arouse the awareness of the staff and students in conserving energy and natural resources. Moreover, policies are enforced to encourage less use of paper, water and electricity and recycling of materials. Learning and Teaching Plan Whole-school Language Policy: In response to the new policy of medium of instruction in secondary schools, the school has paid more attention to help students lay a solid foundation of English. English is used in Mathematics and Science lessons in junior forms so as to increase their exposure to English. In senior forms, English is widely used in teaching but Chinese will still be used depending on the needs of students and the nature of the subjects taught. To create a language rich learning environment, the English and Chinese departments have organized different programmes such as Language Subjects Academic Day, English Speaking Day and study tours to cater for different needs. Interesting English activities are often organized for students by two NET teachers, the English Department and the English Society. Moreover, Morning Reading Time and Extensive Reading Award Scheme are provided to students so as to help them develop a good reading habit. Last but not least, an English-Chinese anthology called 'Rendezvous' is published every year to acknowledge students’ good work in writing. Learning and Teaching Strategies: To cater for the needs of students with different abilities, a student-centred curriculum is adopted. In junior forms, we emphasize 'Bilingual and Triliterate Learning', information technology, social studies and project learning. There are special English, Chinese, Mathematics classes for under-privileged students. In senior forms, we put in more effort to make students interact more actively in the process of teaching and learning. We also provide tutorials, talks, seminars and quizzes to prepare students for public examinations. Every subject has its own subject policy and work plan. Due to the implementation of the senior secondary curriculum, the Curriculum Development Committee and e-Learning Committee were established to advise the school on the matter. School-based Curriculum: 1. Electives: 2X. Based on the 11 electives provided by the school, 13 groups which study a different combination of subjects are formed. 2. Curriculum highlights: Taking into consideration the abilities of students, our teachers design and plan the curriculums carefully so as to help students learn effectively. Since the Senior Secondary Curriculum emphasizes giving students other learning experiences, the school has organized different activities and life planning programmes for students to widen their horizons in areas like sports, art, music, morals and careers etc. Development of Key Tasks: To cultivate a good reading habit, Morning Reading Sessions are run to encourage students to read books and newspapers in both Chinese and English. Every classroom is installed with a computer cum Wifi, a projector, a visualizer and a screen to facilitate interactive teaching and learning through the use of IT. To stimulate interest in learning, all students are required to conduct theme-based projects annually. To instill good morals into students, the Moral and Civic Education Committee often organizes cross-curricular and co-curricular activities for students to practise what they have learned and to learn to reflect on themselves and others. Career and Life Planning: Organising a variety of thematic career talks keep students abreast the latest development of further studies, vocational training, career opportunities and trend in the universities and working world; More career-related activities are provided to enhance work experience opportunities for students. Students are able to understand their interests, abilities and career inclinations and raise students’ awareness of the importance of life-long career development planning through career and life planning workshops held in the class-teacher periods. Student Support Whole School Approach to Cater for Student Diversity: To cater for student diversity, split class teaching in English, Chinese, Mathematics and Liberal Studies is arranged. Tutorial special classes are conducted after school to help students to catch up with the progress. In order to understand students’ needs better and to nurture for personal growth of students, the school has arranged two class teachers for each class. For students with special needs, members of our Student Development Committee, co-worked with educational psychologist and specialists, will offer assistance to them and their parents. Whole School Approach to Integrated Education: Student Support Coordination Committee is established in order to develop appropriate support measures, adjust internal school examinations and apply special public examination arrangements for students with Special Education Needs (SEN). Student Development Committee is set up to formulate, plan, implement various training and inclusive activities. By working closely with EDB and professional teams, the Committee aims at promoting personal growth of our students. With the Learning Support Grant, School-based After-school Learning and Support Programmes Grant and Diversity Learning Grant, our Committee provides a variety of training programmes and activities. Education Support for Non-Chinese Speaking (NCS) Students: Our school provides additional support for NCS students to facilitate their learning of Chinese: providing after-school support programmes in learning Chinese. Measures to provide adaptation for Learning and Assessment: 30% of the content of our test and examination papers is catered to students of lower-ability, 50% to students of average ability and the rest 20% to students of higher ability. To cater for the needs of more capable learners, the department of Mathematics provides extended module for students in senior forms. Home-School Co-operation and School Ethos Home-School Co-operation: With the Parent-Teacher Association and parent manager, we have made a strong connection with parents to show concern for the school life and growth of students. Seminars and workshops are often organized by PTA to help parents improve their communication skills with children. Parents are also invited to express their views about the school management through their participation in the school administration consultation conference. The parent-child volunteer team led by the school social worker is distinguished for its work done for the school and the community and has won awards in the Yuen Long Outstanding Volunteers Competitions. School Ethos: Teacher-student relationship in the school is harmonious. We adopt a whole-school approach to guidance. Besides, the implementation of the Discipline-and-Guidance-in-One Policy has been proved effective in developing good behaviour in students. The Peer Guidance Scheme is run to cater for the needs of junior form students. We also have the TCSS Holistic Award Scheme and scholarships to acknowledge students' achievements in academic performance, conduct, reading, services and co-curricular activities. Future Development School Development Plan: 1. To strengthen students’ language abilities. 2. To encourage scientific research and self-directed learning. 3. To promote reading to widen student’s horizons. 4. To support students with learning problems. 5. To enhance students’ self-image and sense of belonging to the school. Teacher Professional Training and Development: Our teachers have participated actively in teaching workshops and courses.

The curriculum in our school is designed with e-learning materials and problem-solving approach in order to develop their critical and logical thinking abilities and deductive and problem solving techniques. These lay the foundation of life-time self-learning skills that students can acquire and create knowledge by themselves. The content in four major domains, knowledge, skills, attitude & affection are integrated together through task-based learning. Besides English, Mathematics and Science, numerous electives are added for increasing the interest and curriculum diversity. Teachers in different subjects can co-operate and undergo cross-curricular teaching with suitable theme.

Moreover, a variety of language-related activities including Japanese, Korean, French courses are held every year to expose students to a diversified language environment. Learning and Teaching Strategies: 1. Focus on "Learning to Read": Students are encouraged to read comprehensively, to think creatively, to share and to broaden their interests and visions. 2. Students’ language proficiency, communication skills and learning will be greatly uplifted by reading more. 3. Chinese and English reading lessons and class teacher reading lessons are incorporated into the curriculum to train students’ writing skills and raise their awareness of social issues. 4. The online reading platform "Chinese i-Learner" is adopted which allow students to read books online and to complete HKDSE reading comprehension exercises. This aims to increase their reading speed and comprehension ability as well as fostering self-learning habit. 5. A large number of electronic books adopting the reading taste of students are purchased to enhance the function of "E-class". Students’ book report results are counted in examinations to foster comprehensive reading at school. 6. Students are encouraged to subscribe to a self-learning English online platform "English Builders" to upgrade English proficiency.

Whole School Approach to Integrated Education: Apart from routine works, we have inter-group meetings monthly which consist of two Vice Principals for learning and teaching as well as student development. In addition, Team Heads including Head of Career Guidance, Head of Discipline and Counselling, etc. are invited to the meeting. In order to reinforce the support to the SENs, we also hold meetings as platforms for both teachers and the team to exchange their experience. Apart from employing extra teaching staff, we organize different training programme and activities for SENs. We efficiently spend the Learning Support Grant to purchase extra supporting services, namely speech therapy. Communication between our team and parents is also our concern. Thus, we organize different meetings with parents for different purposes so as to let parents know more about their children’s academy and development. Education Support for Non-Chinese Speaking (NCS) Students: Our school provides additional support for NCS students to facilitate their learning of Chinese: providing after-school support programmes in learning Chinese; appoints additional teacher(s)/teaching assistant(s) to support NCS students’ learning of Chinese; arranging intensive Chinese learning and teaching mode(s), e.g. pull-out learning if necessary, split-class/group learning, etc.; developing school-based Chinese Language curriculum and/or adapting learning and teaching materials; organising cultural integration activities; and hiring additional manpower and/or translation/interpretation services to facilitate the communication with parents. Measures to provide adaptation for Learning and Assessment: There are two terms in an academic year and one examination in each term. Formative assessments including assignments, quizzes and uniform tests are conducted throughout the whole term. The SEN team collects and analyses data about “assessment adjustment" regarding SEN students at the beginning of each term to provide suitable arrangements for them. Those measures include assessment for examination time extension, enlargement of word forms, and special seating arrangement. For those students whose academic results are below average, the school provides them with summer-holiday tutorial classes and re-assessments. It is hoped to prepare students with poor academic results for a new academic year. If students still fail in the re-assessments, they need to repeat. Home-School Co-operation and School Ethos Home-School Co-operation: The school and Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) work closely together to better the operation of the school. On top of offering scholarships, PTA committee members earnestly participate in school activities such as school opening prayer, annual sports day, inauguration ceremony etc. PTA also organizes a variety of activities like "Parents-Also-Appreciate-Teachers-Drive", Christmas party, picnic, and DIY workshop, etc. Apart from joining voluntary services, parents take up the role as coordinators and even tutors in different events. This greatly enhances their sense of belonging to school. The school updates parents with information about school development and projects to be implemented through monthly school newsletter, preparing parents’ readiness for the participation in school affairs. The school and parents work together as partners in education. School Ethos: As a Catholic Diocesan School, we uphold and actualize core values including love, justice, truth, life and family, emphasizing the cultivation of proper moral and character. Our school is marked by the culture of simplicity. We strengthen students’ sense of belonging to school and consolidate teacher-student rapport by implementing policies such as staying at school for lunch, lunch-time activities, opening after-school self-study facilities, etc. Moreover, the school has imposed strict requirements over students’ uniforms, appearance and personal connotation to actualize the qualities of a Pui Shing student, i.e. hardworking, responsible, neatness, obedient and eco-friendliness. The school also encourage cultural integration, mutual care and support studying environment, and tolerate of different cultures in hope of building a "love and inclusive" campus. Future Development School Development Plan: In the coming 3 academic years, 2019 – 2022, the school will pursue our goals and aims of Learning and Teaching and Student Development.

Outings and excursions in Hong Kong, and overseas study tours, help to further enrich students’ experiences and knowledge. In lower forms, school-designed materials in Ethics & Religious Education, Liberal Studies, Technology & Living, and Business Fundamentals use an issue-enquiry approach to cultivate students’ independent thinking, and develop positive values and attitudes.

S.1 students are welcome to join a Summer Orientation Camp held by the school student-parishioners and instructors from the related HKSKH parishes. The S.1 Orientation Day is held by the school. Both programmes can provide good opportunities for junior and senior students to build friendships for better social support and integration before the new school year commences. S.1 Parents’ Day serves to familiarise parents with the mission, policies and strategies adopted by the school and encourages them to help their children develop healthy habits at school and at home. The "Alive Adolescent Program" organised by the HKSKH St.Philip's Church aims at enhancing self-confidence and nurturing positive values in students. S.1 Bridging Programmes are scheduled in July to help S.1 students adapt to learning in English and then from September to November to get them involved in their secondary school lives via interactive learning activities offered by senior student mentors of the Peer Coaching Scheme during lunch time. 聖公會白約翰會督中學 SKH Bishop Baker Secondary School

School Characteristics School Management School's Major Concerns: Embrace good values; express unique talents. School Management Organisation: To provide quality whole-person education, we place emphasis on our school structure and management. Through clear division of labour and strong cooperation, our teaching staff, parents, students and alumni take part in mapping out and implementing our school policies. Incorporated Management Committee / School Management Committee / Management Committee: Incorporated Management Committee of the school includes 14 members: Supervisor, Treasurer, Secretary and other school Managers. School Green Policy: To strengthen teachers’ and students’ sense of environmental protection, we have formulated energy-saving policies as well as measures, joined Greening School Scheme, and designed different activities for them to put convictions into practice. Every year, students actively participate in “Waste Paper & Plastic Bottles Recycling Program” to promote environmental protection. Learning and Teaching Plan Whole-school Language Policy: English is the main medium of instruction in our school. (Please refer to the information of subjects offered in 2019/2020 and 2020/2021 for details.) Learning and Teaching Strategies: Our teaching and learning strategies are geared to gifted education for students with different abilities and aptitudes. To enhance teaching and learning effectiveness, we endeavour to arouse their learning interests, give constructive feedback, help them cultivate good habits of making preparation before lessons, learning in lessons and doing revisions after lessons. School-based Curriculum: 1. Electives: 2X and 3X. In line with our Gifted Education policies, we establish 3X stream for more able students to choose. 2. Curriculum highlights: Our school-based curriculum is diverse and flexible. To meet our goal of providing all-round and student-centred education for students, we lay emphasis on "Life Education" and "Gifted Education". Our "Life Education", which helps students nurture positive values of affirming and treasuring life, is implemented through lessons on Religious Studies and Moral and Civic Education. Furthermore, the activities about students’ learning and development designed by different subjects and sections not only enhance students' mental and physical competence, but also help them further attain a fulfilling and flourishing life. Our “Gifted Education” is implemented through Parallel Curricula, Tiered Assignments, Gifted Tours, Good Mentor Scheme, internal and external training courses, all of which cater to students' different learning needs and develop their potentials. Development of Key Tasks: 1. Project Learning: To cultivate students’ investigative ability and prepare them for studying the “Personal Development” module of Liberal Studies, project-learning is conducted in S.1 & S.2 through the Social Science & Natural Science subjects respectively. 2. Moral and Civic Education: Our school has specially designed a “Moral and Civic Education” curriculum in Junior Forms (S.1-S.3) and a "Religious Education" curriculum in all forms to help students foster positive values and attitudes, nurture good character and spirituality, all of which enrich their life. In addition to the formal curriculum, we have set up different sections, such as Religious Section, Student Support Section, Moral and Civic Education Section, to cater for the developmental needs of students. These sections have been organizing different activities regularly to nurture good character and a strong sense of civic-mindedness in students so that they can take care of themselves, their families, friends, society, country and global changes as well. 3. Reading to Learn: To widen our students’ horizons, we have launched a “Life-wide Reading Award Scheme” for S.1 to S.3 students to foster extensive reading habits. For S.4 and S.5 students, our "Liberal Studies Reading Scheme" encourages them to pursue self-regulated learning through reading. The Morning Reading Scheme is one of the effective ways to enhance the atmosphere of reading and encourages students to learn and improve their English. Our school library has further set up a “Morning Reading Session” to recommend wholesome and interesting books for students via the school public address system and has been managing a blog for students to exchange their ideas on reading. This caters to their reading interests and learning needs. We also organize a regular activity named “Vote for Good Books” in which students are invited to participate in the process of selecting books for purchase by the school library. 4. Using IT to facilitate interactive learning: Promote students' self-learning through different e-learning platforms. Career and Life Planning: Our school adopts a whole-school approach to develop and implement Life Planning Education, which aims to help students foster more positive global perspectives on careers and life. The Careers Section is responsible for managing, organizing and coordinating with different subjects and sections to promote various programmes and activities. In every subject, the implementation of the Parallel Curriculum Model not only helps students acquire basic knowledge and learning skills, but also enables them to seek their personal identities and values. Besides, different sections have been holding a wide variety of activities. For example, the Careers Section organises a life planning course for S.2 students, holds careers talks for every form, arranges visits to tertiary institutes and workplaces of some professions, offers students on-the-job experiences and individual and group careers counselling sessions, etc, so that students can have a great variety of information about different career paths. All these can help them equip themselves and plan their lives for the future. Moreover, the Moral and Civic Education Section has been endeavouring to train up ambassadors for moral and civic education, and running community services programmes and overseas exchange programmes in order to let students enrich their life experiences, broaden their horizons and establish positive life goals. Student Support Whole School Approach to Cater for Student Diversity: To cater for students' differences in learning abilities, we set up enrichment and remedial programmes in every subject to serve our students according to their abilities. Besides, we carry out a school-based Peer Coaching Scheme in which the senior form students are empowered to help those in the lower forms to brush up their English and other subjects. Whole School Approach to Integrated Education: The school sets up the Integrated Education Team to develop a comprehensive inclusive education plan for supporting SEN students strategically. The members include Vice-principal, SEN Coordinator, Counselling teachers, Teaching Assistants, School Social Workers and Educational Psychologist. To enhance the professional capacity of teachers in catering for students with SEN, the school arranges teachers to attend the courses in a systematic manner and teachers-in-charge have completed the structured Basic, Advanced and Thematic (BAT) Courses. Besides, the Learning Support Grant is used to hire an inclusion assistant and outsource social skills training service. Moreover, the school offers support to students with SEN in the following ways: different teaching strategies, appropriate classroom settings, individualized remedial teaching and special arrangements for assignments, tests and exams. Regular meetings with students and assessments are also arranged to devise an individualized study plan for them. The school liaises closely with parents to collect opinions and evaluate progress, helping parents better understand their children and providing them with appropriate guidance to develop more effective parental care. Collaborating with the social service units, the school strives to promote the inclusive culture actively in order to let all students understand and respect their individual differences in a school ethos of care and communion. Apart from providing support for students with SEN, the mental health of students is of our utmost concern. We have designed positive education activities for different forms in order to conduct more mental health programmes for students. This can cultivate their positive attitude towards life and build their resilience. Measures to provide adaptation for Learning and Assessment: We adopt formative and summative assessments in order to enhance the effectiveness in teaching and learning. Home-School Co-operation and School Ethos Home-School Co-operation: Our school stresses the importance of home-school cooperation. Through diverse means of communication with parents, we try to let parents know more about the school life of their children. We are willing to listen to parents’ opinions and make prompt responses to their concerns. Our Parent Teacher Association is well-established. The committee members are always active and helpful in organizing different kinds of activities. All these contribute a lot to the school development. In addition, our parent committee members, acting as bridges between families and school, can participate in the administration of school affairs and discuss with other parents about the issues they are concerned. School Ethos: We aim to develop our practical, genuine, proactive and caring school ethos. We pay attention to the growth and all-round development of our students, and provide them with diverse learning experiences in order to prepare them for their lifelong learning in the future. Future Development School Development Plan: The school aspires not only to showcase the healthy development of values, policies, personnel, pedagogies and mechanisms, but also promote continuous optimization of the three-tiered implementation of gifted education. The school continues to tap resources from the QEF and other funds to create opportunities for teachers’ professional development, empowering teachers to serve as activators of learning who facilitate students to develop the 6C competences for deep learning, namely communication, collaboration, critical thinking, creativity, character and citizenship. Students can grow in good relationships with their families, peers, teachers, professionals and God. With goals, strategies and perseverance, they can serve, learn and play in a balanced manner. Teacher Professional Training and Development: We have formulated a Teacher Development Scheme to encourage and engage teachers in life-long learning so that they can enhance their quality of teaching. The Scheme is school-based, subject-based and self-development-based. Life-wide Learning Activities including Five Essential Learning Experiences, Key Learning Areas, Extra-curricular Activities, Co-curricular Activities, etc. Our school has a Student Union and four Houses - Modesty, Love, Diligence and Sincerity - to which all the students are allocated. Moreover, there are 30 clubs which include 5 academic clubs, 9 arts clubs, 7 sports clubs, 5 service clubs and 4 interest clubs.

Incorporated Management Committee / School Management Committee / Management Committee: An Incorporated Management Committee (IMC) was established on 25th August 2006. Different parties, including parents, teachers, alumni, and professionals, have been invited to serve on the IMC to contribute to the development of the school. School Green Policy: The policy aims at encouraging students to understand the importance of environmental protection and sustainable development through our formal and informal curricula. To implement this policy, environmental education topics are incorporated into all subjects to raise students’ green awareness. Various green events are organised by the Geography Club, including the Green Christmas Party, No Air-conditioner Days and Collection of Recyclable Waste. In each class, an environmental protection leader is nominated to promote the importance of energy saving and waste recycling. Learning and Teaching Plan Whole-school Language Policy: The school attaches great importance to enhancing students' English proficiency. Since September 2010, all subjects except Chinese Language, Chinese History, Computer Literacy and Putonghua have been allowed to use English as the medium of instruction in selected S1 classes. Learning and Teaching Strategies: 1. In the learning and teaching process, our students' interests always come first. To enhance the effectiveness of classroom teaching, we have adopted cooperative learning in all forms; 2. Apart from classroom teaching, we have also been fully utilising various kinds of resources to promote all-round education, which has been realised through S1 education camps, senior-form Geography field trips, the JA Company Programme, senior-form Biology field trips, senior-form summer internship programmes as well as the HKMA mentorship scheme; 3. At the junior secondary level, Chinese Language, English Language and Mathematics form the core of the curriculum to provide students with a strong foundation for their studies. At the senior secondary level, the curriculum is underpinned by two principles - increasing teaching hours as well as learning opportunities. Extensive reading is part of the Chinese Language and English Language syllabuses. An in-class English reading scheme has also been built into the syllabus. School-based Curriculum: 1. Electives: 2X and 3X. Our school offers 2-elective and 3-elective combinations for students' choices in 2019/2020. 2.

In this regard, we aim to help students develop self-understanding, set goals, recognise options for further studies, and implement their career and life planning measures. In accordance with the school’s "six-year development plan", different aspects of career and life planning are highlighted at different stages of learning. Our career and life planning programme has close ties with our curriculum and extracurricular activities. Students are led to enhance their self-understanding and set goals in class teacher periods.

The composition of the IMC includes the representatives from the sponsoring body, the principal, teachers, parents, alumni and independent community members. The direct participation in school decision-making and the input of these key stakeholders help enhance the transparency and accountability of the school governance and contribute to a more effective school operation. School Green Policy: To echo the society's increasing concern for environmental protection, we implement environmental policies to promote energy saving and waste recycling, and encourage green lifestyle among students. For instance, we use energy-efficient electrical appliances, water saving devices, monitor the usage of electricity, carry out Student Environment Protection Ambassador Scheme' and 'Energy Saving Scheme'. Learning and Teaching Plan Whole-school Language Policy: The school has put much emphasis on the implementation of biliteracy and trilingaulism, especially our students' English standard.

School Characteristics School Management School's Major Concerns: 1. To cultivate and strengthen students’ self-directed learning habits & abilities through the implementation of different reading programmes. 2 To enhance students’ appreciation and gratitude for the school and people around them through various stimulating learning opportunities. 3 To strengthen Life Planning Education. School Management Organisation: Under school-based management, we have established a clear administrative framework and staff appraisal system. In 1998, the Staff Committee was founded by school directors, teachers, student parents and independent parties. For openly collecting information and opinions to continuously improve the school, we registered with the government the foundation of Parents and Teachers Association in 2000. Incorporated Management Committee / School Management Committee / Management Committee: The Incorporated Management Committee was established in 2006. School Green Policy: Environmental education is one of the school major concerns in recent years. Students are encouraged to play their important part in saving resources and protecting the environment in their daily lives. The school achieved a remarkable success in the environmental protection and was awarded 2018 Hong Kong Awards for Environmental Excellence - Schools(Secondary), The 17th Hong Kong Green School Award and CSR Hong Kong Outstanding Green Schools Award 2019. Learning and Teaching Plan Whole-school Language Policy: To implement the biliterate and trilingual strategy, we encourage students to learn the languages through classroom teaching and extra curricular activities. In order to enhance students' overall language proficiency, we implement numerous measures and activities such as Extensive Reading Scheme, English Fridays & English week, Read Aloud Scheme, frequent assembly sharings, Chinese Culture week, debates and drama. Besides, our English teachers have been collaborating closely with the Campus TV to promote the broadcasting of students' performances and participation in various activities, which highly enhances students' confidence in using English in their daily lives. The “Reading Across Curriculum” scheme implemented from Secondary One to Secondary Three is to enhance the students' language proficiency and encourage self-regulated learning. Learning and Teaching Strategies: Our focus of the year is to enhance the generic skills of students through E-Learning. Teachers design tailor-made learning activities and after-class assignments by adopting different educational Apps. Besides, Curricula will be evaluated by subject panels so as to determine the core and extended parts to be included in order to achieve maximum learning outcome. In order to cater for learning diversity, teachers will constantly create and review different sets of learning materials to ensure every student is being taught at their level. Teachers will also enhance the quality of the design of test and exam papers so a more accurate assessment of students’ learning effectiveness can be carried out. Our school also places a strong emphasis on teaching-learning interaction. Teachers are encouraged to strategically utilize high-order questions to stimulate our students. Moreover, collaboration approach will be adopted to train the generic skills of students. We also put emphasis on the design of students' assignments.

Teachers are encouraged to give prompt and concrete feedback to students according to the performance of the assignments. The above strategies aim at promoting the teaching effectiveness in school. This year, one of the major concerns is to aid our students to develop good reading habits and positive attitude. This can promote the atmosphere of self-regulated learning. The school adopts a flexible timetable in order to cater for various educational goals. The morning reading sessions are scheduled every Tuesday and Thursday to promote the reading atmosphere in school.

They are encouraged to set students good examples of life-long learning by attending seminars and courses themselves and pursuing professional betterment. Our school aims to cultivate a positive and ambitious attitude in our students by providing them with various learning programmes. With a view to providing our students with a good all-round education, subjects covering the eight key learning areas are offered in the junior forms so as to educate them in all the areas of moral, intellectual, physical, social, aesthetic and emotional development.

Career and Life Planning: To enable students to plan their life holistically, our school provides students with various opportunities to explore their own potentials, build up an understanding to the world of work as well as write and implement plans to achieve their life goals. With the support of the Career and Life Planning (CLP) Grant, we have recruited a teacher to assist in career and life planning education in our school. We develop school-based materials and tools to facilitate career and life planning education among students of all levels. Aptitude tests and class-based programmes are arranged to allow students to develop a better understanding of their own personalities, interests, potentials and talents. Workshops funded by the CLP Grant are held for all junior form students to introduce basic CLP concepts to them and develop their skills in writing study plans. Career-related experiences are crucial to students’ growth. Workplace visits supported by the CLP Grant are organized for students to gain an exposure to the world of work as well as hands-on experience at the workplace. Alumni working in different fields are invited to share their study life, working experience and career path with the students. Such experiences offer students with great insights into the world of work. To equip students with the skills and develop their attitudes to achieve their life goals, various measures are adopted.

Our school also makes use of the Learning Support Grant to buy services, e.g. group and individual counselling and after-school learning support from other service providers and employ counsellors, teaching assistants to take better care of students with SEN.
