2c. Curriculum Organization—S4 elective subjects combination There are four classes in each senior form (S4, S5 and S6) this academic year. One class (6C) of S6 is for those who take 3 elective subjects (3X) whereas three classes (6A,6B & 6D) are for those who take 2 elective subjects (2X). Among the S5 & S4 classes, two classes of each form (5C, 5D, 4C, 4D) are for those who take 3 elective subjects (3X) and the other classes are for taking 2X. In order to attain a balanced curriculum purpose, additional lessons for those students who take two elective subjects are given. Subjects such as English, Mathematics, Chinese, ERE and PE are included in the lessons. Therefore, students of different abilities are provided with the opportunities to study different electives.
This year, the Life Planning Education & Careers Guidance team has conducted the survey of S3 students’ subject selection to collect data for subject combinations in the coming academic year. In accordance with the updated university programme selection principles, minimum admission requirements would be 4C+2X. Therefore, students in two of the four classes in S4 next year would take 3X, while students of the other two classes would take 2X. After the discussion at SPET meeting, the S4 subject combinations for the 2019-2020 were as follows:
4A (2X) 4B (2X) 4C (3X) 4D (3X) Core 1 Chinese Chinese Chinese Chinese subjects 2 English English English English 3 Mathematics Mathematics Mathematics Mathematics 4 Liberal Liberal Liberal Liberal Studies Studies Studies Studies Elective 1 Physics/Biology/History/Chinese History/BAFS (Mgt)/Visual Arts Subjects 2 Chemistry/Economics.Geography/Chinese Literature/BAFS (Acct)/M1 3 --- Chemistry/Biology/Chinese History 4 Ethics and Religious Studies (students will attend lessons on Saturday morning)/Music/Other Language
Critical Evaluation & Plan for 2019/2020: 1. This year, the Life Planning Education & Careers Guidance team has conducted the simulation of S3 students’ subject selection to collect data for subject combinations in the coming academic year. Our main concern is to utilize school resources effectively and provide equal opportunities for students with different capabilities to study the same elective subjects. 2. Next year, we will also arrange the survey of S3 students’ subject selection to collect data for subject combinations.
2d. S.2 Drama Day Camp (English Version Only) (i) Activities for English Curriculum This year’s S.2 drama day camp was conducted in the hall from 12/3/2019 to 22/3/2019. The main theme was teen problems and solutions to them, and students had to perform a 10-minute drama show. They were also encouraged to make use of suitable props, sound effects and costumes. For at least four lessons in the second term, S.2 students engaged themselves in theatre-related activities, line reading and rehearsals leading to a stage performance. Prior to the camp, teachers had taken students through the teaching of drama and script-writing.
Students were very positive about the drama day camp. In the evaluation, they expressed that they had improved speaking and writing skills while acquiring various drama techniques and acting skills. They claimed that their confidence was enhanced and that they experienced joy in the learning process. They also recognized the importance of team spirit, communication, cooperation, division of labour and commitment in the preparation process. A majority of them appreciated this kind of learning method. Some said that drama could help them explore other talents, like creativity.
It was through this drama day camp alongside with eight other English lessons on drama features conducted in the first term that all S.2 students had a hands-on experience in drama.
Critical Evaluation Similar activities will be conducted in Form 2 next year. It was observed that some students in 2B and 2D did not produce scripts with a comprehensive plot structure. More help such as vocabulary and sample scripts may have to be given to help students complete their tasks. A different theme may be adopted for greater variety.

3b. S.3 Project Learning “Project Learning” is one of the Four Key Tasks in the Basic Education Curriculum Guide (2002). Our school has been carrying out projects since the school year of 1999/2000. A team of 6 teachers was set up in 2003 for developing and implementing plans for S3 Project Learning. In order to align with the NSS curriculum and our school target, the plan for S.3 Project Learning aims to provide a range of balanced experiences to enhance students’ development of generic skills for life-long learning. While other teachers took up different roles, each teacher advisor supervised 6 students in a group. Students worked out answers to their own queries. We believe that project learning is a good opportunity for students to transfer knowledge to experience through searching for, analyzing and organizing information. This helped to enhance independent thinking, problem solving and critical thinking abilities. In order to broaden students’ horizons and train them to think more critically, the projects were switched to a more enquiry-learning approach. Questions involving high order thinking were raised in the presentation session. This year, the 9th period was arranged to facilitate group discussion with project teachers. S3 students also participated leadership training held by ECA to enhance their self-confidence and good co-operation with members.

The workshop equipped students with e-learning and various information searching skills. All Form 1 students finished e-learning worksheets and several tasks. This year, one assisting librarian from Hong Kong Public Libraries (HKPL) was invited to our school to introduce and show students how to use various e-resources and e-books provided by HKPL.
Now the library provides photocopying, printing and laptop borrowing services to students. All library facilities are frequently used. There are totally 14 laptop computers for students to use to search for useful information this year. We have also 2 i-Pad Air to create more opportunities for students to search information to read. The home page of the library has been updated, with information and photographs of activities. In addition, we continue to use our more interactive and informative Web 2.0 Online-Public-Access library catalog to facilitate information searching. The book reviews written in our Web 2.0 Catalogue can also be counted to earn marks in the Outstanding Reader Award Scheme, in order to encourage the use of Web 2.0 and to enrich its content.
To maintain its efficiency, our library continues to adopt good ideas from EDB Library Support Service and other schools.
b. Circulation and other library services In this academic year, the library received a school grant of $35,000 for buying books and $24,000 for English e-books & e-learning resources. Many good books were purchased with the help of different subject heads and the teacher librarian. All new books were displayed for about 2 weeks in the library before shelving. The library has also been responsible for cataloging ERS books, ordering all magazines and looking after teacher reference books inside the library. Most reference books have been released for students to borrow.
Now about 100 students visit the library daily. They not only borrow books of fiction, but also publications of diverse academic disciplines. From 24th September, 2018 to 16th April, 2019, according to the SLS system and the records of the language teachers, the total number of books borrowed by the students was 14,780 (English: 9,179 Chinese: 5,601); of which 2,702 books (English: 754, Chinese: 1,948) were borrowed from the library, and 12,078 books (English: 8,425, Chinese: 3,653) were borrowed in the classrooms (Extensive Reading Scheme). Moreover, the number of e-books read by the students from April 2018 to 31st March 2019 is 1,445. The total usage of the electronic encyclopedia Britannica Online from April, 2018 to March, 2019 was 1,917,159 times. The situation was excellent. All library prefects have been well trained to maintain good circulation service.
The library still maintains its service and efficiency by making fuller use of the SLS functions. Users can reserve and renew library materials both at school and at home online. They can also receive e-mails sent by the library. We successfully applied for the Public Library (PL) Board Loan service. Now through our arrangements, students can get up to 200 extra reference items from the PL for two months when working on a particular theme. This year, we continued to offer the Student Self-purchase Book Scheme to make sure the collection can accommodate students’ needs and interests.
c. Reading Promotion A lot of initiatives were employed this year to promote reading, (Please see the table below for details) in order to help students develop their knowledge through using the library materials and enhance students’ academic abilities. A “Star of the Day” was also chosen whenever we had library activities. The library also held several Reading Club gatherings and reading promotion activities, including the wonderful Reading Week activities and book fairs.
Moreover, the "Highest Borrowing Record" was announced every 4 months. An award was presented to the class who achieved the highest score in each form. The best readers in each form and the best 10 in the school also received certificates and 50 marks in the Outstanding Reader Award Scheme.
The library held 2 book fairs by book companies. All book fairs were well received. Students bought 378 books (HK$26,829) in the first book fair and 733 books in the second one (HK$61,171) .
There were lots of activities during Reading Week, including Mini Reading Carnival, book fair, a reading promotion assembly by a teacher in Reading Promotion Team, Mr. Chan Shu Ming and a special reading activity organized by the Chinese Language Department during a lunch-time. A book-introduction talk by guest speaker, Ms. Fan Gin Mui was especially organized before the reading week to arouse students’ interest in reading. The reading week was kindly supported by many parties. The programmes were rich. Reading ambience was excellent. The students responded well and participated enthusiastically in the activities.
For extracurricular activities, the library often displays posters about reading and other cultural activities to encourage students to join various activities, such as the “Teens’ Reading Clubs” and “Meeting the Author” activities organized by the Hong Kong Public Libraries. We also bought books and promoted the "Best Books Campaign" organized by the Hong Kong Professional Teachers’ Union. d. Helping students enhance English proficiency & learning effectiveness – School Development Target (2019-2021) Make Change and Go Forth Major Concern I: To help students achieve effective learning and develop positive attitude towards learning through stretching students’ academic potential, developing their interest in learning and maximizing their capacities
At the beginning of the term, the teacher librarian introduced to all the students in a morning assembly interesting magazines and books in library related to school target. A book display in the library was also organized afterwards. She adopted new promotion idea to organize the Outstanding Reading Promotion Class Competition as a move to encourage readers to make change and go forth.
To echo the school development target, we encourage students to read extensively various English reading materials and English books, including our English e-books and the electronic encyclopedia Britannica Online to improve their English standard and subject-related knowledge. Moreover, to encourage students to use the English e-books more, the library specially organized an e-book report writing competition.
We also taught students how to submit online book reports and share their reading with others in the Reading Share Garden, in the classrooms and Online Reading Clubs. We hope this kind of reflection and sharing can help students think more in-depth. They were also encouraged to make use of the audio-visual materials at school and the free e-resources available online provided by the Public Libraries. The library also organized workshops to train interested students to organize and run their own reading clubs. The library is very clear about the close relationship between a student’s information literacy and self-learning skills and her future success nowadays, especially after the implementation of the NSS.
e. Supporting teaching and learning in various subjects i.Reading to learn The library supports the Extensive Reading Scheme of both the English Language and Chinese Language faculties. It is also responsible for the borrowing of all books involved in the S.1 E&RE reading scheme. We have often encouraged colleagues in Staff Meetings to make use of our “tailor-made” borrowing and returning service more. The library will continue to encourage and support different subjects to make use of this through-train service, our library collection or other library services to strengthen and enrich learning content by reading, so as to improve learning outcomes. This year, the teacher librarian had more collaboration with the Chinese Language Department (Form 4), English Language Department (Form 1) and Mathematics Department (Form 2) in teaching and learning related to their curricula, including, teachers’ recommendation, board displays, book displays, book borrowing and report-writing.
ii. E-learning During staff meetings or through intra-mails, we encouraged teachers of various subjects to cooperate with the library to enhance students’ information literacy and online self-directed learning skills. This year, according to our plan, we continued to subscribe to the e-learning resource Britannica Online Encyclopedia for students to get used to searching for reliable information. The additional features like storage, translation, pronunciation, and meaning for each word can help students learn efficiently. We arranged representatives from Cengage Learning, our e-book supplier, to explain and demonstrate to all the Form One students. We especially organized the whole school E-book/ Britannica Online Reading Report Competition this year to stimulate students to use the e-resource more.
The computers in the library were purchased specifically for e-learning. The Apabi software was installed on all computers in the library. This allows students to read “Fang Zheng” e-books online. Moreover, Google Earth was installed on two computers in preparation for e-learning. The students can use different free e-resources, like the Opposing Viewpoints provided by the Hong Kong Public Library. Moreover, we have also encouraged different subject teachers to co-teach and co-operate with the teacher librarian. In this way students can develop their information literacy and self-directed online learning skills through various online resources of a particular subject in context.
We not only explored free e-resources and introduced them to our students in recent years, our school has entered a new era in these four years by adding two e-resources – Britannica Online and Brain Pop, as well as providing more than 1400 e-books, according to our Collection Management Policy. As cultivating self e-learning and information-searching habit takes time, it is hoped that e-learning can be further supported by the school and we can continue to buy e-books and e-resources next year.
iii. Information sources and services In view of the teachers’ and students’ needs for information resources and services, the library has encouraged various subjects and students to make enquiries with the teacher librarian or the library assistant through different channels, so as to help them seek more or better resources for use. More and more students have communicated with the teacher librarian to enquire about or request different things, especially the lower form students. Moreover, the teacher librarian also made use of the Intranet to send students information about different reading activities or competitions, and encourage them to participate. Some senior form students have made inquiries about the detailed information of joining some external reading competitions.
f. On the job librarianship training and leadership training All the Library Prefects and Library Prefect Assistants were well trained before the academic year and received on-the-job training throughout the year. Through taking up duties and responsibilities of various types, they were better equipped to be versatile employees in the future. The new LP Reading Promotion Team, added to the Library Prefect Service Group last year, helped to facilitate reading promotion activities. Library prefects developed better professional knowledge and team spirit through participating in the Open Day and other reading promotion activities throughout the year. They acquired problem-solving skills and communicative competence through organizing various reading activities. Senior students also had the chance to develop their leadership in the group.
This year, we have recruited 6 Library Assistant Trainees. We provided them with comprehensive training from April to May, 2019 weekly so that they can smoothly integrate into our team next academic year.
This year, the Reading Promotion Team had held 6 big meetings and coordinated constantly to help promote reading, especially during reading week. There were 2 reading club gatherings to discuss various topics with the help of the “Reading Club” team of the Library Prefect Service Group. The speaker was Mr. Chan Shu Ming in two gatherings. Moreover, the teacher librarian organized a training session to teach students how to organize their own reading clubs. They tried to make use of other teachers’ expertise by inviting them to be the teacher advisors. The “Reading to learn” team in the LPSG had helped organize 2 “My Reading Club” activities this year with the support of the teacher librarian. Each participant was required to read a different book of the same topic and prepared a power-point presentation to share with one another. The “My Reading Club” programme can definitely help students realize Reading to Learn independently.

They were also taught research skills, like Big Six. Students even learned APA citation methods and how to write reference list and quote articles in Chinese and English. 19/10/2018 Introducing e-books and Britannica Online to Britannica Online Encyclopedia training workshop & E-books all F.1 students introduction and demonstration for all Form One students 10/10/2018 Reading celebration and “My Reading Club” 25 participants training workshop 22/1 - 31/1/2019 “Borrow-books-to-get lucky-sayings” Activity Through giving out Chinese lucky sayings before Lunar New Year, students were inspired to achieve academic excellence and read more. 4/4 - 16/4/2019 World Book and Copyright Day Activity The Library Prefect Service Group organized board display and a reading activity with Yellow House to echo World Book and Copyright Day. Students were also encouraged to join the World Book Day Fest organized by SCOLAR.
Critical evaluation and plan (for internal reference) The practice for library service has been quite smooth. The borrowing rate of real library books is also satisfactory. Moreover, we saw very ideal usage of our e-books and Britannica Online. This is encouraging as they are in English. So it echoed our school target. We would continue to organize the E-book/ Britannica Online Reading Report Competition to encourage students to make good use of the resources provided for learning better. To support teaching and learning, we have planned to collaborate with the English Department even more next year so that the competition tasks for each form would be specially tailor-made to cope with the curriculum and interest in each level. More attractive books will be purchased to enrich the choices. The reading promotion on the whole was efficient. The various activities and award schemes helped maintain a lively reading atmosphere and culture.
The Form 1 library lesson curriculum has been strengthened, with more emphasis on information literacy. New tasks had been designed to make students read about most subjects they studied. We even taught them how to cite and quote articles in English and Chinese.
A lot of library prefects and assistants were too busy to be on duty regularly, especially the students taking up the leading roles. It is hard to recruit new members too. It is quite a challenge for us to maintain our excellent library service and quality of reading
promotion. Perhaps we should not expect too much from them and accept the fact that the school is actually providing a chance for our students in the group to learn and grow with our patience and guidance.
This year, we have had good collaboration with English Language Department, Chinese Language Department, Mathematics Department and E&RE Department. They will continue to co-operate with us next year. We would like to have more co-operation with other subject departments, like I.S. and Geography.
6. IT Assisted Education We aspire to foster among students the quest for 21st Century knowledge and we keep pace with the Education Bureau Strategies on IT in Education. Led by the IT Steering Committee and assisted by IT Secretary (student group), the IT Implementation Team promotes and facilitates the use of IT in learning and teaching. Currently, the whole campus is covered by wireless local area network (WLAN) and all classrooms and special rooms are equipped with networked computers and projection systems to facilitate the “Bring Your Own Device” (BYOD) learning and teaching strategy. Additional iPads are provided by school for mobile learning with unified devices. For IT assisted learning and teaching, the Multimedia Learning Center (MMLC) is available for language lessons whereas the Information Technology Learning Center (ITLC) is for lessons in other subjects. Both centres are opened for students after school for individual learning. The School Intranet system provides accounts for teachers, students and parents. It also serves the function of communicating, learning and teaching, project based learning and school administration. We had signed up for Microsoft Office 365 for Education. Students and teachers can effectively organize learning and teaching materials for individualized and collaborative learning. In addition, they can install the latest version of MS Office application on their computer and mobile device for free. The open source Learning Management System - Moodle of our school provide a Virtual Learning Environment for students to study inside or outside school. Different online e-learning resources, e.g., BrainPOP, Twig, Edpuzzle, etc., are subscribed for learning and teaching. Our school has adopted the E-platform for School Development & Accountability (ESDA) which is a web-based application designed to enhance the schools' efficiency in collecting and managing school data, with a view of further promoting data-driven school self-evaluation under the School Development and Accountability framework. The school can have a better grasp of our developmental trail and then formulate development plans by considering our schools' own context.

5. Physique Development (1) Student Growth The growth rate and onset of growth spurt vary for different secondary students during adolescence. School PE teachers concern the physical growth and development of their secondary students. Abnormal weight status seems to be closely related to motor development, fitness level and health conditions. Body Mass Index (BMI) has been used to understand the growing condition of the students in our school. Weight and height of students were measured and BMI was calculated twice each year. PE teachers kept student aware of their own growing status and gave advice to main good health condition and optimal weight according to their BMI results. 80% of the junior form students and 83% of the senior form students were within the normal range in the Hong Kong school norm. The overall growth pattern (in terms of weight and height) of our students was acceptable. However, the growth ratios of a small number of the secondary students were beyond the normal range. 15% of the junior form students was overweight and 5% of them was underweight. While 9% of senior secondary students was overweight and 8% of them was underweight. Exercise and weight management advices were provided to these students.
(2) Healthy Lifestyle and Physical Fitness Research indicated that children with healthy lifestyle practices would likely continue into adulthood and maintain health status in later life. Therefore, PE teachers aimed to help school students develop active lifestyle habits and maintain good fitness conditions. Physical fitness test items were used regularly to help junior form students aware their fitness conditions in our school. Students were guided to reflect on their own lifestyle behaviours to make adjustment in their daily physical activity pattern. By making reference to the norm of the School Physical Fitness Award Scheme, our students’ performance in the related physical fitness tests was good. 96% of S.1 students achieved bronze level or above and 54 % attained gold level. 98% of S.2 students achieved bronze level or above and 59% % attained gold level. 98% of S.3 students achieved bronze level or above and 68% attained gold level. Most of our junior form students were in good fitness level and healthy. However, the performance of some senior form students in some fitness test items was far from satisfactory.
(3) Sports and Leadership Development To develop lifelong sports activities participation and leadership of school children are two important learning objectives in senior PE curriculum. Therefore, specific related school sports activities and events are strategically provided and organized in school each year. Senior form students were trained to assist the organizing of various types of inter-class and inter-house sports competitions. There was a decline of capable students to help organizing events last year. However, students with high abilities in sports would have opportunities to participate in inter-school sports competitions and gained sports experience. Providing regular school sports activities and training would help to develop school sports culture and atmosphere and strengthen students’ sporting abilities and leadership experiences.

Critical evaluation: counseling programs will be changed according to evaluation and feedback. For example, S.4 Adaptation program will change according to comments and feedback.
7. Life Planning Education and Career Guidance The team aimed at providing ample life planning education and career guidance support to students in different forms. Life planning education was intended to equip students with the knowledge, skills and attitude to make wise choices in accordance with their interests, abilities and aptitude, thereby connecting their career-academic aspirations with whole-person development and life-long learning. All the activities were geared towards the needs of students at different levels in a co-ordinated and systematic manner. Activities related to career planning, understanding self and goal setting continued to be organized for various forms as usual.
Activities for junior form students This year, life planning education focused on understanding self, goal setting and initial career planning. To achieve coherence and enhance effectiveness, attempts were made to re-organize the series of life planning education activities into a programme-based format. As a result, a 3-hour life planning education programme was conducted for S1 and S2 respectively. Follow-up was done jointly by our team and E&ER teachers to consolidate their plans. The booklet “Finding Your Colours of Life: NSS Subject Choices and the Development of Career Aspirations” was used in S3 as the first phase of individual student planning. In view of the implementation of the 3-3-4 academic structure, a series of talks in relation to S4 subject selection, its strategy and university entrance requirements were arranged for them. Experience sharing sessions with senior form girls were conducted to exchange views and ideas about subject selection and learning tips.
Activities for senior form students Apart from self-understanding and development, career exploration and career planning and management are the main components of activities for senior form students. This year, the booklet “Career Mapping: Career Development Tools for Senior Secondary Students” was also used for their personal and career development. In addition, a variety of career-related experience activities were arranged for them to explore and reflect upon study choices and occupation choices. Attempt was also made to re-organize the series of S5 life planning education activities into a programme-based format to avoid occupying the normal lessons of students taking 3X. Besides, workshops are arranged for S5 students to familiarize themselves with the updated JUPAS Admission Scheme and specific requirements as well as other study or training opportunities to establish learning goals and career aspirations.
As usual, S6 students are guided to have a multifaceted review and reflections on their learning experiences to gain a holistic understanding of their achievements, qualities, aptitudes, abilities and personal-career aspirations. In addition, students were encouraged to make critical use of information and guidance from various sources to plan their future pathways. A series of talks and group counseling sessions on making JUPAS programme choices were scheduled. To meet the different needs of students, multiple pathways for NSS graduates and Electronic Advance Application System for Post-secondary Programmes (E-App) were introduced to students and parents. Different self-financed tertiary institutions were invited to give admission talks to students. Workshop on modification of programme choices and other further study opportunities was also arranged before the release of HKDSE results and individual counseling was also provided after the release of HKDSE results. In addition, S5 students were trained to be helpers for assisting mentors on counseling work after the release of DSE results.
Career-related Experience Under the framework of the Curriculum Reform, Career-related Experience is one of the five essential learning experiences that students should undergo in school curriculum. In view of this, a variety of learning related activities were arranged or organized throughout the year, ranging from firm visits, success skills workshops, job shadowing to case competitions, company program and working reality program. The experiential learning enables our students to achieve certain learning goals that are more difficult to attain through classroom learning alone. Through the activities, students were expected to relate and integrate learning outcomes from Career Related Experiences or work-based learning into exploration of study, training and work options. Career-related activities were also organized for junior form students to allow them to get a glimpse of the world of work.
Parents’ Meeting Apart from organizing talks and workshops for students, talks were also held for S3 and S6 parents respectively to introduce the idea of life planning and make aware them of the different pathways of education opportunities so that parents can provide more realistic and constructive support to students. This year, S4 and S5 parents were invited to attend S6 Parents’ Meeting to familiarize them with ever-changing university admission requirements.
Mentoring Programme This is a debut attempt to link alumnae either working in the society or studying in tertiary institutions with our S4 and S5 students, hoping that they can form a good ‘Siumingians’ networking and gain mutual benefits.
Others Last but not least, the team is also responsible for promoting our school to P.6 students and their parents in Tsuen Wan district and Kwai Tsing district.

Critical Evaluation The attempt to re-organize the series of junior life planning education activities into a programme-based format could achieve its aims and the events were well-received by students. However, the availability of suitable venue and manpower was always an issue to deal with. For example, S2 Life Planning Education activity was held in the afternoon after the test day when all junior classes were resumed normal. Nearly all the team members including those in charge of the activity needed to conduct their lessons to respective classes. Swopping of lessons would surely cause inconvenience and chaos. Besides, the duration of S5 life planning education programme would be extended to 3 hours in the next academic year. It would be more difficult to find a suitable date to accommodate the change.
8.Student Exchange Programs Overseas Scheme This year the school receives an overseas student from the AFS (American Field Service) for the period from September to March. The student was from Japan. She took 7 subjects in different levels. She mixed very well with her buddies and all her classmates at different levels. The scheme provided a cross-cultural experience for our students.
9. Discipline General discipline was good. Students were courteous and obedient. Students were willing to cooperate to create a suitable learning environment. To enhance the compliance of the requirements of the school rules and the regulations, students were regularly reminded in the form assemblies to observe the requirements of the school rules and the regulations. Briefings and discussions were held regularly with the class teachers in the Class Teachers Form meetings so as to let the class teachers get better understanding of the students’ disciplinary situations and offer assistance to the students accordingly.
Cases on the violations of the school rules, especially those cases regarding eating and misusing of mobile phones in classrooms slightly increased in the past school year. Dishonesty cases e.g. cheating during dictations, tests and examinations increased significantly in the last school year. Education on integrity and self-discipline have to be enhanced.

Critical Evaluation & Plan for 2019/2020 -Violation cases increased, especially on those cases regarding eating and misusing of mobile phones in classrooms. Dishonesty cases also increased, especially those cheating cases during dictations, tests and examinations. Education on integrity and self-discipline have to be enhanced.
-In view of the increasing number of sexual harassment outside school, different measures have been adopted to educate students this year. These measures include form assemblies, distribution of notices, talks by sergeants, and reminders from class teachers. Students’ personal safety awareness has been enhanced. This year, the number of sexual harassment outside school is more or less the same compared to figures in the last year. The involved students were able to maintain calm and report to the school. With the information provided, the police was able to arrest the suspects successfully. Nevertheless, some students still walk along the quiet path near our school or panic when meeting people with suspicious behavior. More reminders are necessary to increase students’ awareness.
10. Student Association The three objectives of the Student Association are: (1) To develop students’ self-discipline and leadership; (2) To raise their awareness of civil liberties and democracy and to help them foster a sense of belonging; (3) To serve as a link between the school administration and the students and to promote the welfare of the students.
- The overall performance was satisfactory. In general, the proposed programs were held on schedule and were conducted smoothly. On the Student Association activity day, the students performed very well in the activity Gunita (an activity about May Fourth Movement). The other activities were welcomed and supported by the students. The Executive Committee members gained precious experience when they organized these activities too.

In order to meet the growing and multi-faceted needs of adolescents, various service modes such as casework service, group work and special programmes were rendered to our students. This year, with the support from the Quality Educational Fund, the school has launched the Joyful @ School Campaign. The aim of the campaign is to enhance students' resilience and cultivate adolescents' positive values towards life, enhance their self-confidence and skills for coping with adversities through different kinds of activities. All programmes were implemented smoothly and feedback from students was generally satisfactory. Besides, the School Social Worker worked closely with the Educational Psychologist and SEN team for supporting students in special needs. Professional support and consultation service was rendered to parents and teachers.

13. Catering for Students with Special Learning Needs (SEN) Current situation Currently there is a very small proportion of SEN students in our school according to the SEN criteria of EDB. The students mainly have their special needs on hearing impairment, and most of them are not having severe defects.
Special arrangements / actions for SEN students Special examination arrangements were made for two S5 students. Two S3 (confirmed / potential SEN) students were given a year-long special individual mentoring programme. Students with ASD or ADHD were followed by EDB educational psychologist, school social worker and teachers in SEN team. This year the school started to purchase the services of speech therapy and expressive arts therapy. The speech therapy has served 5 students with speech impairment and the expressive arts therapy trained 7 junior form students and 7 senior form students.
Staff development Many of our teachers completed various training programmes on topics about SEN. However, more teachers should be trained in order to fulfill the new EDB requirement at 2019/2020.
Thematic Course on Supporting Basic Course Advanced Course Students with SEN (30 hours) (90/120 hours) (90/120 hours) EDB requirement at 2019/2020 6 – 9 15% - 25% 6 – 9 teachers teachers School achieved (EDB record 29th Jun 2018) 15.5% 3 6
Evaluation of the work in 2018-2019 The introduction of speech therapist and expressive arts therapy were appreciated by students. The expressive arts therapy class has also provided a good atmosphere that SEN students could be included in the groups with normal students.
14. Past Pupils Association In order to enhance the communication between the alumni and the school, the Past Pupils Association organized various activities and also informed the past pupils the update organized events through electronic newsletters, email, Facebook and Instagram.

V. Others 1. School Environmental Policy The objective of the School Environmental Policy is to reduce consumption of non-renewable energy and strengthen environmental education. The specific measures are as follows: a. School internal communication via Intranet and e-mail. Incoming faxes printed on paper used on single side. Re-use envelops and brown envelopes in order to reduce paper consumption. b. Collect waste paper, newspapers and textbooks regularly. c. Encourage the use of reusable dining utensils at school gatherings. Christmas decorations were reused. d. Teaching staff and students are encouraged to save energy. Guidelines for using air-conditioning were set. Lighting and air-conditioners should be turned off during recess, lunch and after school. e. Students’ experience of environmental protection was developed through visits, field trips and integration of environmental education into the formal curriculum.
Critical Evaluation & Plan for 2019/2020: Apart from collection of used papers, it is suggested to reduce waste through source reduction and waste prevention. Students are encouraged to practise green living in their daily lives.

Different sections, functional groups and departments continued to help establish a healthy school environment and develop programmes so as to help students to form healthy habits. Seminars and workshops on anti drug abuse for students of various levels, incorporation of drug fighting curriculum in school-based syllabuses of Ethics and Religious Education were the main strategies to promote “Say No to Drugs”
