School Characteristics School Management School's Major Concerns: 1. Raise students' academic motivation; 2. Boost positive education; 3. Invite students' potentials. School Management Organisation: Our school implements school-based management. Planning is done by professionally trained teachers with foresight and vision. School policies are student-centred. Parents and members of the Student Union play vital roles in the decision-making process. Incorporated Management Committee / School Management Committee / Management Committee: The Incorporated Management Committee was founded in September 2008. In addition to the school sponsoring body, the Committee comprises of members from the commercial and education sectors, parents, ex-students so as to further enhance transparency and teaching effectiveness. School Green Policy: Set up E-class as a communication platform. Implement electronic communications with parents and teachers. Print on both sides of paper, minimise photocopies, reuse envelopes or use transit envelopes; Use more energy-efficient electrical appliances. Adjust the air conditioning at 25C in the summer months. Economise the use of water. During recesses and lunch breaks, and after classes, switch off the lights and air-conditioners in empty classrooms; Place various waste recycling boxes at school; Keep a strong link with the environmental groups to update ourselves with the latest information and hold some talks to promote environmental awareness in the assemblies; Encourage parents and students to promote environmental awareness to their families. Learning and Teaching Plan Whole-school Language Policy: Our school places strong emphasis on English. Small group teaching is practiced throughout F.1 to F.6 to cater for learners' differences and allows greater students' participation in more interactive English lessons. We also run various activities to facilitate a wider use of English. In F.1, English is used as the medium of instruction in some subjects, mainly content-based ones, in some classes. In the rest of F.1 classes, although Chinese is used as the medium of instruction (CMI), extended learning activities in English are conducted in Maths, Computer Literacy, and Science. Besides, students in CMI classes are exposed to more English through different activities in subjects like Visual Arts, Music, Home Economics, etc. In senior forms, English is used as the medium of instruction in Business subjects and Science subjects. Learning and Teaching Strategies: We emphasise catering for learners' differences in junior forms. Small group teaching is practised in Chinese, Maths & English, in groups of about 20. By doing so, teachers can take better care of students, whose ability and confidence in the subject will then increase. Each group has its own curriculum and teaching objectives. Different teaching methods & activities are used to assist the less able students and enhance the performance of the more able ones. We believe increased practice, greater critical analysis and more assessments in senior forms can consolidate students' knowledge, increase their creativity and fully prepare them for future challenges. A whole-school Reading Programme is run in the morning before class. Besides reading newspapers, the Chinese and English Departments require students to read on the web and join reading competitions. Extensive reading is also a requirement in other subjects. In order to help students enter universities, we have a series of plans. Tutorial classes of different subjects are held for F.5 and F.6 students to help them get good public examination results. The passing rates of the HKDSE were over 80% in the past few years. Every year, about 70% of our students enter universities. In recent years, many of our graduates have entered university with flying colours. For example, Ng Yiu Fai majored in Actuarial Science in the University of Hong Kong. Ng Yuk Yi got early admission to the Department of Nursing, the University of Hong Kong. Lam Siu Sze majored in Finance and Accounting in the University of Hong Kong, Tsang Mei Po majored in Physiotherapy in the Hong Kong Polytechnic University and Ye Yong Yu majored in Professional Accountancy in the Chinese University of Hong Kong. School-based Curriculum: 1. Electives: 2X and 3X. Students must study 4 core subjects and sit for at least 2 electives in the HKDSE. 2. Curriculum highlights: We have started 'Life Education' through Buddhist values in junior forms. Through daily life examples and current issues, we hope students can put Buddhist values into practice, develop their positive moral values and attitudes towards life, and strengthen their resilience in times of adversity. Development of the Four Key Tasks: The four key tasks, namely reading to learn, information technology for interactive learning, project learning as well as moral and civic education, have taken root in the school with remarkable achievements. In order to foster self-directed learning and lifelong learning among students, our school puts much emphasis on Reading across the curriculum, the use of Information Technology to implement Self-directed Learning, integration and application of knowledge and skills across disciplines, and Values Education. Life Planning Education: Our school aims to provide students with life planning activities, which equip them with knowledge, required skills and positive attitudes for making choices in accordance with their interests, potentials, abilities as well as aspirations. We intend to walk hand in hand with students through seminars, workshops, exhibitions and visits with the hope that junior form students will set goals and adopt appropriate learning strategies. Most importantly, we want them to have a better self-understanding. At the same time, senior form students will then be able to know the opportunities of multiple pathways for achieving their academic goals and desired careers. We hope that students can have better, clearer, realistic, and achievable careers or academic fulfillment. Student Support Whole School Approach to Catering for Learner Diversity: In order to cater for students' diverse learning needs, the School Management Committee supports the employment of several additional teachers for small-class Chinese, English, Mathematics and Liberal Studies teaching. Teachers majoring in Psychology & Social Work are designated to care for students with needs other than academic ones. Our school has been winning the 'Caring School Award' for years. Whole School Approach to Integrated Education: Adopting the "Whole School Approach" to support students with Special Education Needs (SEN) together with additional resources from Education Bureau (Education Development Fund (EDF), Learning Support Grant (LSG) and Top-up fund), we are enabled to offer appropriate and diversified support services to our students enhancing their learning and development. Our school has also established a student support group with members from multi-professions such as Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCO), educational psychologist, speech therapist and social workers. 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; and organising cultural integration activities. Measures to provide adaptation for Learning and Assessment: There are two term tests and two exams in an academic year. To develop students' potential, continuous assessment is practised in all subjects. Home-School Co-operation and School Ethos Home-School Co-operation: In order to maintain good communication and close relationship with parents, our school has organized a series of activities such as "Writing Family Letters", parents' seminars, workshops, interest groups", "Family picnics" and publishing a PTA newsletter, etc. All these help to promote communication among parents, teachers and students. They also help to build up a harmonious parent-child relationship and enhance students' sense of belonging to school. In addition, through activities like "Getting Close to Parents Card", "Parents' Sharing" and "Book Promotion", we help in the growth of parents and children. By setting up a network for parents, we provide a channel for parents to exchange and learn ideas on family discipline. School Ethos: Our students are modest, receptive to advice and well-disciplined. Class teachers have frequent communication with parents. Our counseling teams are highly effective. F.1 - F.3 students are required to stay at school for lunch with regular lunchtime activities provided. Students are welcome to join various interest groups & uniform organizations. To raise students’ aesthetic ability, F.1 students are required to take part in an arts activity (English drama, Chinese orchestra, school choir or dancing). Aesthetic Education is provided for F.4 and F.5 students. Our students visit the Hong Kong Sinfonietta, the Hong Kong Dance Company and the Hong Kong Heritage Museum. We have also assigned teachers majoring in Psychology or Social Work to be responsible for Moral Education and Counseling, which proves to be highly effective. Future Development School Development Plan: Development Focuses: 1. To develop students' learning autonomy and the ability to do scientific exploration through STEM education and e-learning. 2. To encourage more participation in the Leadership Training Programme to cultivate quality leaders. 3. To improve students' English proficiency through English drama, hiring more NETs, and receiving exchange students to study in our school. Teacher Professional Training and Development: To boost teaching effectiveness, we put emphasis on the implementation of "Lesson Studies". Every teacher is to join "Lesson Studies" to enhance learning & teaching and strengthen the culture of peer observation among teachers. In recent years, our teachers have often been invited by the Education Bureau and other educational organizations to be the guest speakers in various talks to share their teaching achievements with primary and secondary school teachers. Life-wide Learning (including Five Essential Learning Experiences to be provided through Key Learning Areas, Extra-curricular Activities, Co-curricular Activities, etc.) There are about 40 clubs and interest groups in our school. The special ones are Dessert-making Club and Juggling Team. To extend learning beyond the classroom, various activities have been held e.g. Shaoguan Rural-area Life-experience Camp, Beijing-Hongkong-Macau Student Exchange Tour and Reception Program for Exchange Students, etc. We also organize study tours for students every year. Students have visited Taiwan, Shanghai, Shouzhou and overseas countries like England, Singapore and Australia, where they immersed into the language by staying with host families. School Facilities School Facilities: We have an IT Learning Centre, a Multi-media Learning Centre, Audio-Visual Room , English Language Learning Centre, Reading Corner, Campus TV Station, Student Activities Room, Robotic Innovation Laboratory, Fitness Room, PTA Corner, computer rooms for specific purposes and 24 standard classrooms. The classrooms are equipped with audio visual & IT teaching facilities. All classrooms, as well as the hall, are air-conditioned. Facility(ies) for Supporting Students with Special Educational Needs: Accessible lift. Others Reform of Whole-School Language Policy - As an ever-improving secondary school, we would take advantage of the fine-tuned MOI arrangements and provide students with more opportunities to use English so that they can upgrade their English standard & enter universities successfully.

Enhancing the chance of university studies locally - Last year, 92% of our Form 6 graduates were admitted to universities or tertiary institutions to further their studies. To ensure that 100% of our students can further their studies at university, "High Flyers Programme" and "Great Leap Forward Programme" were introduced. Besides, "Sum Heung Lam Scholarship", "Dharma Ambassador Scholarship" and "Great Venerable Kok Kwong Memorial Scholarship" were set up to help those who are academically able but need financial assistance to study at university.

University studies outside Hong Kong - In order to increase the chance of university studies outside Hong Kong, we have been collaborating with some of the universities in Taiwan, Beijing Normal University Zhuhai Campus, Griffith University and Queensland University of Technology, Australia. Students can further their studies in the above three universities once they have attained a certain level in the mock exam.

Orientation Activities and Healthy Life To help newly admitted secondary one students familiarise themselves with the learning environment of the school, orientation activities are held in July and August every year. The Boarding Section also organises activities to help new boarders to adapt to living in a new environment.

A "Healthy School Campus Policy" is implemented to heighten students' awareness of the importance of leading a healthy lifestyle. This is achieved through seminars, whereby students are provided with information on ways to live healthily. Organised talks for parents and collaboration with parents are some of the measures taken to create a healthy school campus. There is a Tuck Shop Management Committee and meetings between the Tuck Shop Management Committee and parents are held regularly to monitor and coordinate the operation of the shop. 明愛馬鞍山中學 Caritas Ma On Shan Secondary School

School Characteristics School Management School's Major Concerns: Study with diligence, live with passion. The spirit of Caritas aims at developing students' potential, making them eager to learn, enabling their life to shine, helping them know more about Catholicism and cultivating the ethos of Caritas. School Management Organisation: The school implements school-based management and has various functional groups. These functional groups, including School Improvement Team, Academic Affairs, Discipline, Guidance, Professional Staff Development, School Promotion, Learning Support, Information Technology, Student Activities, Safety Management, General Affairs, Religious Education, as well as Civic and Moral Education, are responsible for the daily running of the school. Incorporated Management Committee / School Management Committee / Management Committee: The school’s Incorporated Management Committee was established on 1st August 2014. School Green Policy: The school emphasises environmental protection by encouraging students to actively get involved in environmental stewardship. Students have been accorded roles as "environmental ambassadors" to train other students in environmental awareness. Learning and Teaching Plan Whole-school Language Policy: Cantonese is used as the medium of instruction for students. One NET is recruited to create more authentic opportunities for students to use English for communication purposes and students are also required to learn Putonghua. To enhance the language proficiency of students, various measures have been introduced; for example, organizing various dynamic English activities through Project WeCan, promoting the reading of English and Chinese books, book recommendations and English enhancement courses. The measures are aimed at helping students to become trilingual. Learning and Teaching Strategies: The School offers a variety of practical courses for students, aiming at boosting their creativity. We strive to foster qualities of the 21st century talent among our students. All aspects ranging from curriculum design to student development programmes are based on this principle. The newly established Maker Programme becomes our best response to that trend. With a large team of teachers, a relatively low teacher-student ratio is maintained to cater for learners’ diversity and provide more individual care for students. Small group teaching is widely adopted, with learning and teaching materials differentiated according to students’ abilities. Apart from providing catering and accommodation services to students, the Boarding Section organizes tutorial classes for students to address their individual needs. School-based Curriculum: 1. Electives: 2X. More than 95% of senior form students are given the first two choices in selecting electives. The rationale is to provide students with the suitable combinations of electives to enable them to develop their full potential and to maximize their chances of admission to university. 2. Curriculum highlights: Integrated Humanities is offered to junior form students to prepare them for the transition to the subject under the Senior Secondary Curriculum. In addition, Secondary Five students can also enroll for applied learning courses. Development of the Four Key Tasks: Learning to Learn 2+ 1. Strengthening values education (including moral and civic education, and Basic Law Education) 2. Reinforcing the learning of Chinese history and Chinese culture 3. Extending 'Reading to Learn' to 'Language across the Curriculum' 4. Promoting STEM education and ITE 5. Fostering an entrepreneurial spirit 6. Diversifying life-wide learning experiences (including those for VPET) Life Planning Education: To help student plan for their further studies and careers, we would assist students in identifying their personal interest, strengths and aspirations through a variety of activities such as talks, workshops and visits. When students reach the senior grades, they are expected to maintain a fair balance between studies and life, get well prepared for university application and take charge of their future. Student Support Whole School Approach to Catering for Learner Diversity: With the aim of exploring students' potential, our school has joined the Invitational Educational Programme, the aims of which are to provide appropriate support to improve students’ learning, communication and emotional management skills. To enhance teaching and learning effectiveness in the classroom, school-based materials are developed and the school curriculum is adapted in order to suit the ability of students. These measures will maximise the development of students’ potential. Whole School Approach to Integrated Education: Our school aims at providing a whole school approach to Integrated Education through a wide variety of support measures. These measures aim at helping students, particularly SEN students, to increase and optimize their learning efficiency under a caring and harmonious school environment. A separate Learning Support Team is specially set up to implement these measures. Team members include a SEN coordinator, teachers from different core subjects, social workers and teaching assistants. To help cater for learning diversity, the team members work closely together to design and organize courses for our students. For example, hiring speech therapy services, arranging meetings with psychologist, hiring teaching assistants and using whole school approach to cater for learner diversity; organizing social skills training classes, Chinese and English reading and writing enhancement courses, focused afterschool tutorial classes and intensive one-on-one tutorials initiated by different subject teachers. Our school also offers teachers with professional development on catering for students with SEN, such as giving SEN workshops on staff development days. Moreover, Education psychologist will conduct regular meetings with teachers to discuss and assess various students cases, then tailor-make individual learning plans for the students, and the effectiveness of the plans will also be reviewed from time to time. Besides, parents will be invited to join parent workshops so that they are equipped with the appropriate parental skills to tackle with new challenges while fostering the growth of their kids. Measures to provide adaptation for Learning and Assessment: Three standardised tests or examinations are held in each academic year. Students who are diagnosed with special educational needs are given extra examination time; special arrangements for script reading are also available. To improve the effectiveness of teaching students with special educational needs, school-based teaching materials have been developed. For some cases, teaching assistants provide individual assistance to students with special needs during lessons. The school also provides students with after school support. Home-School Co-operation and School Ethos Home-School Co-operation: The school has a Parent-Teacher Association which aims to promote foster and communication between the former and the latter. School Ethos: Our students are well-behaved. Teachers and students cooperate to create a friendly atmosphere conducive to learning. In each of the academic years, 2009-2020 inclusive, our school is awarded certificates acknowledging the warm school environment provided on campus. In addition, teachers and students in the school actively participated in voluntary work. As a result, the school was awarded certificates from the Hong Kong Youth Association recognizing our concern for the wider community. Our social workers and guidance team offer timely intervention and support to our students. A sense of national identity is nurtured through cultural exchange visits to the mainland to promote a sense of cultural belonging and understanding. Future Development School Development Plan: This consists of 2 major areas of concern (2019/2020-2021/2022): 1. Study with diligence: Enhance teaching, learning and assessing to increase teaching effectiveness. (Justice, Truth) 2. Live with passion: Cultivate and reinforcing students' positive values.

Remarks The Mathematics and Science school-based curriculum in S.3 has a school-based enrichment component with reference to the curriculum of IGCSE. Students can have a comprehensive coverage in Mathematics and Science and then choose their favorite elective subjects to prepare themselves for HKDSE. They are also encouraged to attend the IGCSE to test their learning ability in Mathematics and Science, which is also beneficial to their overseas studies. The Humanities curriculum in all forms involve visits, internships, volunteer services, study tours, and even exchange programs to broaden students’ knowledge and cultivate them with ‘glocalization’ of humanities knowledge and literacy.

Orientation Activities and Healthy Life We run orientation programs and bridging course for S.1 students. Through the 'Big Brother and Big Sister Scheme', we train senior form students to help S.1 students integrate into our school and cultivate the spirit of mutual help. From S.1 to S.6, we adopt the Dual Class-teacher system to provide more help and support to students. At the same time, we organize various inter-class and inner-class activities to foster students’ sense of belonging to school. All S.1 and S.2 students have lunch at school. After lunch, diversified activities are arranged to enhance students' growth. 青年會書院 Chinese Y.M.C.A. College

School Characteristics School Management School's Major Concerns: 1. Enhancing Learning Motivation; 2. Building a Positive Life School Management Organisation: The Incorporated Management Committee has been set up for Chinese YMCA College. The Chinese YMCA of Hong Kong appoints Directors and a full-time Chief Education Officer to be the sponsoring body managers of the IMC to supervise the school affairs with the management committee which comprises independent School Manager, teachers, parents and alumni. Incorporated Management Committee / School Management Committee / Management Committee: The school has established the Incorporated Management Committee of Chinese YMCA College. School Green Policy: Our school has been working on green education, from aspects like establishing related administrative structure, creating green atmosphere, classroom teaching to extra-curricular activities. Our goal is to link green lifestyle closely with school education. Our efforts in green education are recognized by external parties. Our school got the ‘Sustainable Development Community Project Award’ presented by the Environment Bureau, ‘Young Green Pioneers Award’, the bronze medal in Environmental Campaign Committee’s ‘Hong Kong Green School Award' and a three-star award in Hong Kong Electric’s ‘Be Green Be Happy Award’. We have also successfully applied for funding from the 'BEC Jockey Club Intelligent Resource Management Programme' to set up Green Ambassador Scheme in Junior forms. Learning and Teaching Plan Whole-school Language Policy: Our school concerns the language development of students and is proactively working to elevate students' ability in Chinese, English and Putonghua. To enhance English proficiency, our school is blessed with the support from the Chinese YMCA of Hong Kong in arranging interns from Germany to visit our school on a weekly basis to organize English learning activities for students. Regarding the curriculum, we provide English bridging course for S.1 students, we also arrange bi-annual English week for students. Mathematics and Integrated Science for junior forms are taught in English. English Language Across Curriculum – Integrated Humanities is also offered. 'Chinese Culture Week' is held annually to arouse students' interest in learning Chinese culture and language. One class in each junior form adopts Putonghua as medium of instruction in teaching Chinese Language. Learning and Teaching Strategies: We focus on promoting self-directed learning in junior form teaching, hoping students will adopt an active learning style. Chinese Language, English Language, Mathematics, Humanities and Science are key subjects for junior form students, supplemented by Co-curricular activities and Multi-learning Curriculum. Students' critical thinking, creativity, problem-solving skills and skills in information technology are expected to be nurtured. Students' performance in public exams and their integrated skills are our prior concern in the senior secondary curriculum. Apart from the traditional arts and science subjects, we also provide different subjects such as Tourism and Hospitality Studies, Business, Accounting and Financial Studies, Physical Education to encourage learning and development in different fields.

Our school has applied for the Community Care Fund Assistance Programme 'Provision of Subsidy to Needy Primary and Secondary Students for Purchasing Mobile Computer Devices to Facilitate the Practice of e-Learning', starting from the 2018/19 school year for three years, to subsidize needy students to purchase mobile computer devices for e-Learning. School-based Curriculum: 1. Electives: 2X and 3X. Students are free to choose different subjects according to their interests and abilities. 2. Curriculum highlights: We offer a diversified and balanced curriculum in junior forms. There are cross-curricular English courses for S.1 to S.3 students. Co-curricular activities such as English drama classes are also provided for students to cater for different interests and promote whole-person development. English reading lessons are arranged for junior forms students so as to help them acquire reading skills and strategies. Besides, we emphasize virtue development. Through morning assemblies, weekly assemblies, cross-curricular activities, extended learning activities and Religious Studies lessons, positive value to life is infused. Moral Education Committee has also tailor-made materials for teaching students positive values in the class-teacher lessons. Development of the Four Key Tasks: Basic skills for tomorrow: 1. Fostering global vision through international exchange in the global YMCA network; 2. Extending 'Reading to Learn' to 'Language Across the Curriculum'; 3. Reinforcing the learning of Chinese history and Chinese culture; 4.

Diversifying life-wide learning experiences (including those for Vocational and Professional Education and Training); 9. Refining gifted education to cater for special education needs. Life Planning Education: Career mapping in our school focuses on helping students develop and realize their own 'Dream' for the future. The Career Guidance Section together with the efforts of each teacher, have been trying to guide students to recognize their personal path, to develop personal goals and to seek out their future aspirations. In order to nourish students’ enthusiasm in following their own 'Dream', we organize a wide variety of activities so as to provide abundant learning opportunities for them. These activities include SIM working-life games, job-shadowing, business-school partnership programs, firm visits, media workshop, etc. Through these experiences, students are able to widen their horizons, view things from different perspectives and thus energize their personal growth. Student Support Whole School Approach to Catering for Learner Diversity: There are after-school enhancement and remedial classes in junior and senior forms to cater for learning diversity. A learning support committee is also set up, specializing in caring and looking after the students in need. In junior forms, there are different learning and support classes to help students with homework and build up active learning and self-directed learning habits. Our school's emphasis is on Christian education. Through different contacts and personal conferences, teachers encourage students to have a reflection in life and to understand religion. Students are also nurtured, from the Christian perspective, to take on challenges, love their life and develop their potential to the fullest, leading a life of 'Love God and Love Man'. We have an additional social worker for promoting leadership training, workshops and voluntary work training to help students develop their potential. We also have partnership with various churches/organizations to provide support for religious education ministry and pastoral care in school. In Religious Studies lesson, we have an ALPHA Course for students to be exposed to gospel messages and to give them support for personal growth. Whole School Approach to Integrated Education: The school is committed to developing an inclusive school culture and making good use of the resources allocated by the Education Bureau to support students with special education needs in a ‘whole school approach’. We provide students with appropriate and diversified supports to enhance their learning effectiveness and help them integrate into school life. The school also attaches great importance to home-school cooperation. A communication mechanism was established for parents to discuss with school about the strategies for supporting students through different channels. The school provides various supports for students with special education needs and lower academic achievement including the establishment of a ‘Student Support Group’. The group members include student support group coordinator, counselling master, teacher, social worker, educational psychologist, etc. At the same time, additional assistant teachers and student counsellors are employed to take care of individual differences in the ‘whole school approach’.

The students in need are also provided with adjustments in study, homework, and assessment. In addition, the school has invited the Education Bureau, the Education University of Hong Kong and NGO to provide training for teachers or students, including the support for students with special education needs in the ‘whole school approach’. Measures to provide adaptation for Learning and Assessment: We adopt a diversified assessment mode (e.g. lesson observation, students’ participation, assignment performance, OLE portfolio, outside classroom field trip and project-based learning, etc.) and different assessment strategies, including students’ self-evaluation, peer and teachers’ evaluation on students’ learning progress. Apart from regular tests and exams, every subject has continual formative assessment for students. Assessment of junior forms students mainly conducts in 6 subjects including Chinese Language, English Language, Mathematics, Chinese History, Integrated Humanities and Integrated Science. Home-School Co-operation and School Ethos Home-School Co-operation: Cooperation between parents and school is highly valued. We keep close contact with parents via convenient and diversified channels. Home visits are held every year to get parents acquainted with their children's school performances, which is significant in nurturing the students. This arrangement is widely welcomed by parents and students. The efforts paid by teachers are also appreciated by parents. School Ethos: Students are well-behaved with self-discipline. They respect teachers and get along well with their peers. They are active in participating in extra-curricular activities and voluntary work, taking their duties seriously. In those activities, they show commitment and enthusiasm in serving people. Student leaders are also responsible and eager in serving their fellow schoolmates.

Every year, our school supervisor, Dr. Ronald Lu, sponsors two students with remarkable English results to go for a one-month exchange trip in Europe, the United States or Australia. In addition, we proudly nominate students for scholarships (such as the Sir Edward Youde Memorial Fund) and encourage them to challenge themselves in elite training programmes organized by universities. Chinese YMCA College has been actively promoting STEM education through a series of activities. We burst with pride for our students who were respectively awarded the Best Creativity Silver Award and the Best Team Award in Zhu Hai, Hong Kong, Macau Maker Competition; Championship in Web Design Competition: E-Commerce; Silver Award in IT Innovation Competition: Robot Challenge; Silver Award in Underwater Robot Competition organized by the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology; 1st runner-up in the Secondary School Solar Remote-controlled Car Design Competition.

Exchange destinations include the UK, the US, Hungary, Czech Republic, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, Vietnam, Thailand and different provinces in China. A variety of activities such as English workshops, historical and cultural field trips, introduction of different ethnicity and geographical explorations certainly inspire our students much more than what a mere classroom and a textbook could offer. Our school is keen on promoting the education of creative thinking and innovative technology. It has been our great honour to start hosting the Odyssey of the Mind Hong Kong Regional Tournament since 2017. It may be the first of its kind that a subsidized school organizes a Hong Kong Regional Tournament of a world competition.

Incorporated Management Committee / School Management Committee / Management Committee: The Incorporated Management Committee of the school and the School Sponsoring Body work hand in hand for the development of the school, e.g. providing financial support for employing more teaching and counselling staff, maintaining a small class size, and subsidizing the study trips etc. School Green Policy: The school was awarded Hong Kong Green School Award in years 2009, 2012, 2013 and 2016; Certificate of Merit in Hong Kong Awards for Environmental Excellence - Sector (Secondary Schools) in years 2012 and 2013. Recently, the school has successfully applied for the Minor Work Project of the Environmental Campaign Committee to build a Renewable Energy Resource Corner in our school. The School Environmental Protection Policies have been established. There are class activities for the promotion of green planting, recycling of waste papers, energy saving, and recycling etc. There is a Prefect of Environmental Protection in each class to carry out associated tasks. Learning and Teaching Plan Whole-school Language Policy: Our school adopts Chinese as the medium of instruction. Putonghua lessons are also provided. Our school emphasizes on students' English learning and there are Native English-speaking Teachers to provide more opportunities for the students to use English within and outside the school campus. Our school is collaborating with the Quality School Improvement Project of the Chinese University of Hong Kong for the improvement of the English curriculum design and for the enhancement of the teaching and learning effectiveness. Various English learning activities such as English Speaking Days and English Games etc., will be held to encourage students to practise English. Learning and Teaching Strategies: With "Successful Education" being the philosophy, the school adopts diversified teaching and learning strategies, such as cooperative learning, education through drama and visual-aided learning to facilitate classroom interactions and to enhance the effectiveness of teaching and learning. Outbound study trips for all students in both junior and senior secondary classes are held to further enrich their learning experience. The development of each Key Learning Area curriculum is based on the core curriculum suggested by Education Bureau. On top of that, a school-based e-learning curriculum has been designed to cater to students' abilities and meet the requirements of society. The school has also developed a school-based STEAM curriculum, through collaboration across subjects, to boost the students' creativity and problem solving skills. In addition, we have implemented a "BYOD" program to strengthen the students' self-leaning abilities. School-based Curriculum: 1. Electives: 2X. Other than those elective subjects provided by our school, students can take those elective subjects and Applied Learning Programmes provided by the Shatin Joint School Senior Secondary Curriculum. 2.

Student Support Whole School Approach to Catering for Learner Diversity: Individual counselling and support will be provided to those students with special needs. Our school has rich and successful experience in this area and we have conducted various talks to share our practical experience with teachers of other schools. Teachers of our counselling team, school social worker, education psychologist and student counselors will follow the school-based "Flow-chart for Catering Students with Special Educational Needs" to provide timely supports to the students in need, to communicate with the corresponding parents and teachers, and to let all teachers, through staff meetings, understand the suitable basic strategies for facilitating the development of these students. Last year, our school was invited by Education Bureau to join the 3-year "Pilot Project on Student with Autism". This year, to provide even better services to the students, our school joins the "JC A-Connect: Jockey Club Autism Support Network" which is funded by Jockey Club and collaborated with University of Hong Kong. Our school successfully applied for the Partnership Fund from the Social Service Department this year, hence we can provide after-school learning support programmes for the junior secondary students aiming at improving their learning abilities and facilitating their holistic development. Whole School Approach to Integrated Education: The "Student Support Committee” and "Special Educational Needs Coordinator” provide individual support for students with special educational needs (S.E.N.). Our school also strives to ‘pave the way’ for students with S.E.N. to enter the job market and further their educational studies by working closely with the “Career and Planning Group” as well as inviting professionals to our school to share their advice and suggestions. Through participation in “JC A-Connect: Jockey Club Autism Support Network”, our school receives abundant resources to offer students S.E.N. services, training and the development of “Individual Education Plans”. Measures to provide adaptation for Learning and Assessment: Based on the principle of "Frequent Assessment, Quick Feedback, and Immediate Correction", we adopt the mode of continuous assessment.

Every year, the Association organizes regular talks and family activities, publish newsletters, conduct volunteer services, and provide green campus services etc. to promote a sense of belonging of the parents and the students to the school. School Ethos: Based on the mission of providing a caring culture within our school, lots of class management activities are conducted.

In junior forms, our school arranges different classes according to students’ abilities; English together with Extended Learning Activities is adopted in teaching the subjects, namely, Mathematics, Integrated Science, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Computer Literacy, Economics, Geography and History, to help students consolidate their English foundation.

In addition, our school wholeheartedly promotes Chinese and English reading schemes and arranges afternoon reading periods with a view to consolidate students’ language foundation.

Our school promotes every classroom observation exchange, collaboration, group discussion, lesson study period, open classroom and any other professional development measure to enhance teaching efficacy through mutual observations (same subject or cross subjects) and self-reflections. Our school emphasizes reading, so there are regular afternoon reading periods from F.1 to F.4, cultivating students’ reading habits. The Education Bureau has appreciated our school’s cross-subject reading for several times as teaching force tries hard to establish a sound reading atmosphere. There is a reading scheme in every department in echo with various reading measures, including the activities like book exhibitions, reading at hall assembly, searching reading, book sharing, floating books and so on, which can help widen their horizons in reading, enhance their interests and acquire profound knowledge. Through analysing the students’ feedback of questionnaires in each form, their learning needs are promptly met. What is more, students master effective learning methods through attending training courses for learning strategies, meetings for learning, seminars and special classes.

Tailor-made curricula and after-school tutorials are offered in certain subjects to foster their learning.

Future Development School Development Plan: Based on the 3-year school development plan, the school formulates the annual school program plan to help all students and teachers have a deeper understanding and concern about the school development strategies. Through the cycle of “Planning–Implementing–Evaluating”, the school continuously makes self-improvement. The school development plan of this cycle includes the following two concerns: 1. continue to develop professional learning communities; 2. strive to cultivate students with the qualities of “Christian” and “self-regulated learner”. Teacher Professional Training and Development: Teachers are our important asset. To promote professionalism among our teaching staff, our teachers are not only encouraged to take part in various training, a Professional Development Committee has also been set up to organize seminars, workshops and exchange programmes. Life-wide Learning (including Five Essential Learning Experiences to be provided through Key Learning Areas, Extra-curricular Activities, Co-curricular Activities, etc.) Under the New Senior Secondary Curriculum, Other Learning Experiences (OLE) is one of the three components that complement the core and elective subjects for the whole person development of students. In parallel with the latest trend, our school provides students with a wide range of OLE opportunities encouraging them to participate in the five areas of OLE, namely Moral and Civic Education, Community Service, Career-related Experiences, Aesthetic Development and Physical Development. Apart from the above-mentioned five areas, our school also offers students various choices of academic and interest-related activities so as to let them experience a fabulous campus life. School Facilities School Facilities: On top of the basic facilities, we have a Computer Assisted Teaching Centre and an Information Technology Learning Centre. All classrooms, library and the school hall are air-conditioned and equipped with computers and audio-visual equipment. Facility(ies) for Supporting Students with Special Educational Needs: Accessible lift, Accessible toilet and Wheelchair Stairlift. Others It was such an eventful year from 2019-2020 that havoc, disruptions and class boycotts had made our society more volatile, which also led to school suspensions intermittently. But with God’s grace, all of our teachers and students sailed through ultimately. Our teachers have been so professional that they have taken a student-centered approach to cater for different needs of our students during this critical time. Our students have been rational, peaceful and willing to listen to others despite having different opinions over different issues. They have demonstrated the important qualities of “CHRISTians” which include being caring, humble and resilient. We are truly thankful that our parents have always trusted and supported us and agreed with our approach to deal with social events. I believe these are miracles and blessings from God.

Since the end of Lunar New Year holidays, school resumption had been delayed till May due to the outbreak of pandemic. Fortunately, our professional teaching staff had planned and initiated real-time online teaching since late February so that students could maintain learning even though they were staying home. I was pleased to see that our staff had been making a lot of new attempts with a new mode of teaching and we had also shared and improved our strategies continuously to enhance teaching effectiveness. We also took good care of students by giving them various kinds of learning resources such as free WIFI routers, SIM cards and lending them i-pads and notebooks. By making good use of Hundred Scholarships and Loving Kids Fund from Parents and Teachers Association, financial support had also been given to families with urgent needs. Staff had also been deployed to provide emotional support for individual students.

At this very moment, face-to-face teaching has yet been resumed fully. Facing this new norm of alternating between real-time and virtual teaching, I thought of an important quote from a famous administrator: “The only thing we know about the future is it will be different. One cannot manage change. One can only be ahead of it.” Knowing that there will be a lot of variables in the future, we have been actively evaluating different kinds of online teaching measures so that we can be well prepared not only during suspension but also maximize teaching effectiveness and broaden students’ scope of learning after the resumption of class. For this purpose, we have joined the “Diversity at Schools” Project organized by the Hong Kong Jockey Club from which we were guided by the professional team in charge of the Quality School Improvement Project (spearheaded by the Hong Kong Institute of Educational Research, CUHK) on how to cater for learners’ diversity through expanding options.

In addition, “Cherish Thankfulness, Respect Diversity” has become the school theme this year, which is developed from the school theme last year, “A Blissful life starts with thankfulness”. We strive to cultivate honorable qualities from our students so that they can learn to tolerate, accept and respect others in diversified communities. We expect them to grow not only by learning from others, but also offering help to the needy.

Although we will face a lot of challenges ahead, I believe the fruit of our work is eternal if we are loyal servants of the Lord. He will always be with the faithful servants and give us rewards and salvation. Our teaching staff will remain practical and put the self-perfection system (Plan, Implement and Evaluate) into practice as we believe in the importance of being student-centered, the life-long pursuit of professionalism and the offering of thanksgiving. With guidance from the Lord and the encouragement from parents, alumni, the Kowloon City Christians’ Church and all stakeholders, I am confident that the school will make continuous progress and provide all-round education with higher quality for our future generations, who will all experience the grace of God.

What we anticipate is to integrate our life planning education with various school’s curriculum components to offer students a vast array of extended learning activities. Students are expected to recognize as well as exert their potentials and more importantly – promote their self-recognition and career maturity. In the long run, this enables students to sustain what they have internalized from our programmes and create a sense of focus towards realizing their academic, careers and life aspirations. Student Support Whole School Approach to Catering for Learner Diversity: English remedial classes are offered to consolidate students’ language foundation. Both learning skills and enrichment classes are offered to students with different abilities after school. Students' diversified learning needs are addressed by various subjects in terms of appropriate policies and teaching strategies. An educational psychologist, who assists in both remedial and developmental counselling work, comes to our school regularly. She also helps in our development of gifted education. Our gifted students are also nominated to attend courses organized by outside organizations to stretch their potentials. Whole School Approach to Integrated Education: Inclusive Education Student Support Team for SEN (SST) has been formed since 2008 to cater for students with special educational needs. Identification work starts with S.1 registration in which parents are invited on a voluntary basis to submit information regarding their children with special educational needs. Follow up work is then provided for both newcomers as well as existing SEN students. Through Special Education Management Information System (SEMIS), the school applies for the Learning Support Grant (LSG) for Secondary School. Various supportive strategies and measures have been adopted for SEN students, with a referral system set up for all teaching staff for any suspected cases which will then be referred to the educational psychologist for consultation and /or assessment. Apart from referrals, other school-based supportive measures have been taken including regular contacts with the parents, individual education programmes or accommodation for each SEN student and teachers attending case conferences. Teachers are also advised to adjust their classroom management, teaching strategies, examination arrangements as well as assignments given to the students concerned in order to cater for individual needs. Other support such as speech therapy training for individual students, study groups and social skills groups have been provided for students with the corresponding needs as well.

In addition, parents always give positive feedback to school on our policies and activities such as curriculum reform, cross-curricular activities and other learning experiences activities. Donations are generously made to school as well. Our parents assist the school in helping students to grow and increase their sense of ownership to school. School Ethos: The school ethos is pure and genuine. Most students are self-discipline, diligent and kind-hearted. The Student Development Committee coordinates all student support committees to shape a Christian valued culture for students’ growth. 'All-round Award Scheme', 'Super Class Scheme' and ‘Yes, I can’ awards are organised every year to encourage students to have a broad and balanced development. Various ‘Outstanding Student Awards’ aim to recognize students’ personal accomplishments and contributions to school and the community. The bi-monthly election of the ‘Smart Learner’ and ‘Student of the Class’ acknowledges the students having good learning attitudes and personalities in each class. A part-time counselling worker and a full-time teaching assistant are employed to support students with special educational needs. Teachers, parents, alumni and the school social workers work hand in hand to provide a caring school campus for students.

School Characteristics School Management School's Major Concerns: School Theme: Learning to learn, Developing good character, Enriching your life. Major Concerns are as follows: 1. Optimize curriculum and teaching to reinforce student learning. 2. Implement Character Education to enhance whole person development. 3. Strengthen staff collaboration to build collective vision. School Management Organisation: Our School has invited professionals from various fields as the consultants to facilitate school management. Incorporated Management Committee / School Management Committee / Management Committee: The Incorporated Management Committee was established in March 2008. Members include the supervisor, two honorary managers, six sponsoring body managers, one alternate sponsoring body manager, principal manager, one teacher manager and one alternate teacher manager, one parent manager and one alternate parent manager in addition to one alumni manager and one independent manager. School Green Policy: Environmental conservation activities, inter-class competitions and eco-tours are organized to encourage students to know more about nature and to lead an environmentally-friendly lifestyle. Students appointed as Green Captains and Environmental Protection Ambassadors help implement conservation activities, and promote an environmentally-friendly lifestyle among students. The school’s effort in creating a green campus is prominent in the utilization of various kinds of energy-conserving equipment, such as solar films, a T5 energy-efficient fluorescent lighting system and energy-saving air conditioners. Learning and Teaching Plan Whole-school Language Policy: We are dedicated to providing a language-rich learning environment in an attempt to help our students to become biliterate and trilingual. Both the curriculum and extended learning activities are strengthened with the following language learning elements: (a) Curriculum - In-class Language Arts Courses like F.1 Creative Reading, F.2 Short Stories, F.3 Poems and Songs, F.4 Social Issues, F.5 Popular Culture and F.6 Workplace Communication, as well as F.1 Phonics Course and self-access English Learning for junior form classes. In addition, Putonghua is adopted as the medium of instruction for Chinese Language in two classes/groups of each junior form level. (b) Extended Learning Activities - Lots of efforts are made to upgrade students’ habitual use of the languages through fascinating school programmes. They include Life-wide English Learning Scheme, Living English Every Day, English Speaking Day, Putonghua Speaking Day, Chinese Language and Culture Open Forum, English Wonderland Booth Games, Putonghua Ambassadors, English Ambassadors, English Café, Chinese Debate Team and English Corner Activities. There are ample opportunities for students to participate in both internal and external language-related activities and competitions. (c) Collaborative and Holistic Language Learning Programmes - Languages Fortnight is held. Two publications ‘Language Newsletter’ and ‘Voice of Erudition’ are produced. To facilitate holistic English learning, a significant proportion of lesson time is incorporated with extended learning activities in English in various non-language subjects in junior form, including Mathematics, Science, Geography, Life and Society, Physics, Biology, Chemistry, Computer Literacy, Music, Visual Arts, Home Economics and Design and Technology. Learning and Teaching Strategies: 'Optimizing Learning through Improving Classroom Teaching' is one of our major developmental programmes. This further enhances learning efficacy of our students. Apart from this, our school focuses on nurturing students' generic skills. Over the past few years, we have taken the initiative to develop Project Learning and Reading to Learn in response to the Curriculum Reform. To consolidate students' learning, we have scheduled the 9th lesson as "Review and Reflection" session. In the junior form curriculum, we put stress on fostering positive learning attitudes, strengthening the foundation in Chinese Language, English Language and Mathematics as well as developing generic skills. Curriculum integration in junior forms helps cultivate students' generic skills and thus, preparing them for the senior secondary schooling. In order to cultivate students' reading habit, a "Silent Reading Programme" is held every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday morning. Students need to read English books or newspapers on Thursdays, which is officially set as the English Day. Our school has put much emphasis on Learning through Reading by integrating Reading to Learn, Project Learning and Liberal Studies to enrich students' learning experiences and to foster their cognitive ability. School-based Curriculum: 1. Electives: 2X. No preset subject combinations, students are free to choose. 2. Curriculum highlights: (1) Project Learning (S.1-S.2); (2) Reading Lesson (S.1-S.2); (3) Moral and Civic Education (S.1-S.4); (4) Aesthetic Education (S.5-S.6); (5) Life-wide English Learning Scheme and Living English Program (S.1-S.6). Development of the Four Key Tasks: We have silent reading on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings to help students develop their reading habits and have chances to share what they have learnt. With cross-curricular collaboration, junior form students can acquire the skills of problem-solving through project learning. E-classrooms have been set up for various subjects so that students can make use of information technology for interactive learning. The Civic and Moral Education Committee runs various projects and programmes to enable students to have the opportunities to develop positive values and learn to contribute to the community. Life Planning Education: To help equipping students with life-planning skills, we organize a lot of activities in junior form, including workshops, day camps and various practice schemes. In senior form, we provide students with first hand information on different pathways of studies and career. Besides visiting different higher education institutions and corporations, we invite successful people from different fields to share their life stories. We also invite alumni for job sharing. In addition, we provide aptitude test and offer individual and group counseling service for Form 6 students on life planning. Student Support Whole School Approach to Catering for Learner Diversity: Our F1 Induction Course and New School Life Adaptation Programme aim at assisting F.1 students to adapt to the new learning environment and prepare for the exciting secondary school life ahead. With a view to helping F.1 students develop social networks at school and tackle their study problems, Big Brothers Big Sisters Programme and Peer Coaching Scheme are implemented. In addition, extra resources are allocated to cater for students’ learning diversity in classroom. To facilitate student learning, after-school tutorials and Saturday enhancement courses are provided. More manpower is employed so as to offer strong, comprehensive support for students. Whole School Approach to Integrated Education: Our school actively promotes Inclusive Education by adopting a whole-school approach to supporting students with Special Educational Needs (SEN). Through the establishment of Student Learning Support Committee and flexible deployment of the Learning Support Grant (LSG) and other resources, we are well-equipped to provide appropriate and diverse support to students with special educational needs, creating an inclusive environment for all students to learn effectively and thrive. To meet the diverse needs of students, we provide a range of support services including homework tutoring, counseling, social skill training, speech therapy, life planning, homework adjustments and special arrangements for examinations. Specialist teachers and counsellors work closely with class and subject teachers to provide suitable learning support and monitor student progress. In addition, the school helps teachers stay current in the practise of inclusive education by delivering up-to-date information, conducting professional development events and encouraging them to enroll in the Catering for Learner Diversity Courses commissioned by the Education Bureau. To cultivate a diverse and inclusive school culture, we promote the positive values of respect, tolerance and appreciation through assemblies and educational events. The school collaborates with the Education Bureau and educational psychologists in devising, implementing and reviewing student support plans and teaching intervention programmes. Finally, our school values home-school cooperation. We meet parents on a regular basis and conduct parent workshops to inform them of their children’s developmental needs and school performance. Measures to provide adaptation for Learning and Assessment: A uniform test and an examination are scheduled for each of the two terms within the academic year. Through questionnaires and detailed analysis of the results of every internal and external assessment, students' performance is evaluated and follow-up measures are adopted in teaching and learning. Home-School Co-operation and School Ethos Home-School Co-operation: The school places great emphasis on the close co-operation with parents. Our Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) has been established for more than 20 years. It jointly works with the school for the betterment of students’ whole person development. At the beginning of every school term, several Induction Programmes are run for parents of new students. Parents’ Days are arranged after school tests and examinations so that parents may know their children’s performance at school. The PTA has formed a group of voluntary parents who gives assistance to school activities during lunchtime. Regular parents’ meetings, workshops and interest classes are organized to enhance parents’ communication with their children. School Ethos: Our school upholds the mission of providing meticulous and conscientious education while maintaining strict and orderly discipline. All junior form students must stay at school during lunchtime. Teachers work together to assist students in developing their self-respect, self-confidence and self-discipline and becoming self-motivated, self-directed and independent learners. Efforts to achieve this aim include integration of discipline and counselling, whole-school engagement and regular meetings amongst class teachers, Discipline Committee, Counselling Committee and Form Supervisors Team. Additionally, we have set up a system of dual class teachers from F.1 to F.6 with a form supervisor at each form level in an attempt to strengthen our care to students. With the best endeavours of teachers, students and parents, our cordial and yet meticulous school culture is well established. Future Development School Development Plan: School Theme: Learning to learn, Developing good character, Enriching your life. Major Concerns are as follows: 1. Optimize curriculum and teaching to reinforce student learning. 2. Implement Character Education to enhance whole person development. 3. Strengthen staff collaboration to build collective vision. Teacher Professional Training and Development: Our School maximizes external resources and collaborates with various organizations for teachers' professional development. In order to optimize classroom teaching, we work together with experts to enhance teaching quality and thus eventually, beneficial to all students. Life-wide Learning (including Five Essential Learning Experiences to be provided through Key Learning Areas, Extra-curricular Activities, Co-curricular Activities, etc.) We attach importance to the whole-person development of students. The school offers over 40 clubs/societies and interest groups with regard to the domains such as academic, physical, aesthetic, STEM, music and service groups. The arrangement helps students develop social and organizational skills which can cultivate their life-long interest. The programmes of Literary and Martial Arts for Form 1, Uniform Groups for Form 1 and Form 2 students, Student Leadership Training Programme for Form 3 and Form 4 students and the One Student One Activity for Form 1 to Form 5 students are implemented to strengthen students' self-discipline and self-confidence. In addition, our school, with the collaboration of various subjects and committees, has introduced a six-year plan to enrich the personal growth and development of our students. Furthermore, based on the principle "being self-disciplined and showing concerns to others", a reward scheme for Form 1 to Form 3 students has been set up to encourage them to set goals for self-enhancement.

School Characteristics School Management School's Major Concerns: Our targets: Positive hearts, we bloom together. Lifelong skills, we horn further. School Management Organisation: Teachers can concentrate on their teaching due to our simplified administrative structure with only eight committees. Incorporated Management Committee / School Management Committee / Management Committee: We commenced exercising the school-based management in 1998 and the Incorporated Management Committee (IMC) was officially established in 2013. With an aim of being democratic, all our major decision-making is first consulted by School Councilors, then all teaching staff, and finally the School Board. All KLAs report to the IMC on a regular basis while the IMC possesses working committees to collect opinions from all stakeholders, facilitating the betterment of the school. School Green Policy: In order to promote our students’ environmental awareness and help to organize various environmental protection programmes, such as No Air-Con Day and paper recycling activity, students are recruited as the Environmental Protection Ambassadors. The element of environmental consciousness and protection is implemented in our school curriculum. In addition, we strongly encourage our students to participate in environmental protection campaigns outside school to help them practice a green life. Learning and Teaching Plan Whole-school Language Policy: Our school adopts English as the main medium of instruction. For English of the senior forms, small class teaching is adopted to enhance students’ English proficiency. All S.4 to S.6 students are streamed into 5 groups when they have English lessons. Activities such as morning assemblies and prayers are conducted in English and Putonghua to increase the usage of different languages on campus.

Lessons are conducted in Chinese in some subjects, such as Religion and Ethics and Other Learning Experience so as to help students develop their positive values and generic skills. Other than English, all students will also attend Putonghua lesson to enrich their comprehensive language learning. Languages programmes such as Spanish, Korean and Japanese are offered in after-school language classes to enrich students' exposure in international languages. Learning and Teaching Strategies: We strive to provide students with varied learning experiences, like project learning to develop their generic skills. Because of the New Senior Secondary reform, curriculum tailoring and school-based materials are made for junior forms. The curriculum of Life and Society has been reorganized and tailored to help junior students acquire generic skills and foster their capacity for life-long learning. A reading promotion team has been set up to organise and arrange different activities and programmes to encourage reading among students. School-based Curriculum: 1. Electives: 2X and 3X. The school offers 12 elective subjects, in addition to the 4 core subjects (Chinese Language, English Language, Mathematics and Liberal Studies). Senior Form students can choose electives according to their own ability and interest. 2. Curriculum highlights: Life Education: Our school emphasizes Life Education. To enable students to have positive attitudes and values, like respecting one another and being persevering and responsible, the school-based curriculum of Religion and Ethics is designed. Financial management is included in the curriculum for senior forms to help them plan their future and adopt a positive attitude towards money.

Gifted Education: The curriculum designed helps all students develop their potential in all aspects in level 1 gifted education. Tailor-made elite training is provided to more able students after lessons to help maximize their talents. The school provides students with diverse learning experiences to widen their horizons and develop and practise their skills. Development of the Four Key Tasks: 1. To develop students' reading habit, S.1 and S.2 students have a Reading Lesson every cycle. In the book sharing sessions, S.2 students have to share their reading experience with the NET, Vice-principals and the Principal. 2. Students are encouraged to learn on their initiative by handing in assignments, downloading learning materials or doing different kinds of online assessments through the school intranet. 3. There is cross-curricular project learning in each junior form. 4. Through different activities, such as assemblies, form teacher periods, Religion and Ethics lessons, Moral and Civic Week and Health Education Week, students receive moral and civic education in all aspects. Life Planning Education: Life planning is a life-long learning process that contributes to personal fulfillment and whole-person development. Different foci will be placed at different stages in this lifelong journey. During secondary education, life planning plays an irreplaceable role in fostering students’ self-actualization, personal growth, career aspiration and potential-realization process based on their self-understanding. Hence, life planning is no longer merely about information dissemination or advisory service for students when they are in need of career choice. It is now a coordinated and systematic education that links with the school’s curriculum. In our school, a holistic approach has been adopted to provide an all-round life planning education to students to connect with our school’s curriculum components. Various talks and workshops are held to facilitate students from S.1 to S.6 in the goal-setting stage. Visits to universities, institutes and workplace are also made in order to cater for the need of increasing students’ career-related/study-related experiences. Group counseling is carried out to all S.6 students to facilitate the application procedures, with the ultimate goal of fostering their self-understanding and self-actualization. Through this, students will be able to make wise choices in accordance with their interests, abilities and orientations as well as connecting their career/academic aspirations with whole-person development and life-long learning. Besides holding multifarious activities for students to explore their potentials, our school also strives to advocate students’ outstanding academic results, extra-curricular achievements, as well as community services and contribution through different scholarships. It is hoped that students can be recognized for their accomplishments regardless of the result of the nomination. Student Support Whole School Approach to Catering for Learner Diversity: Catering for students’ learning diversity, our school has devised different pedagogical strategies, such as small class English teaching implemented in junior forms, English Drama lessons and after-school tutorial classes. As a pioneering school in the integration education programme, we initiate and encourage educational experiences that foster an enduring love following Christian principles to enable our students to learn how to care, share and appreciate each other. Whole School Approach to Integrated Education: The whole school approach has been adopted and used in the promotion of integrated education throughout the years. Our school strategically deploys different resources to support students with different learning needs. With the aim of assisting students to integrate better to school life and unleash their potentials, the Student Support Team works hand-in-hand to provide support to students concerned. An array of measures, ranging from the hiring of student counsellor, specific adaptation arrangement in learning to application of special examination arrangement in the HKDSE have been offered accordingly. With the introduction of Integrated Education ambassadors and peer support schemes, various activities are conducted to promote the mutual respect of individual differences among students and to cultivate an inclusive school culture. Measures to provide adaptation for Learning and Assessment: Continuous assessment is adopted throughout the year. Apart from uniform tests and examinations, informal assessment, like presentations and projects, is used to evaluate students’ learning progress. Based on students’ performance and results, tailor-made programmes, data analysis and academic award systems are designed to enhance learning effectiveness. Students with different learning needs are engaged in elite training and remedial classes. Home-School Co-operation and School Ethos Home-School Co-operation: Various activities are organized by the Parent-Teacher Association, e.g. Parent-Child voluntary work and parents' seminars. Besides, PTA plays an active role in school and parents are much concerned about the school policies. During PTA meetings, senior teachers are invited to sit in so as to give feedback to parents. School Ethos: Our school community is characterized by a pervading influence of a strong emphasis on a warm yet orderly and disciplined atmosphere. Teachers and students interact harmoniously. Our social worker, Pastoral Care Committee, Religious & Moral Committee and educational psychologist are committed to help students build up values for personal growth. Future Development School Development Plan: 1. To further support and develop active and independent learning; 2. To promote Positive Education programmes. Teacher Professional Training and Development: We have established a professional development framework for teachers: 1. Organising teacher professional development days or week; 2. Conducting appraisal lesson observation; 3. Strengthening the bonds between our school and other educational organisations, improving teaching effectiveness through professional sharing and workshops. Life-wide Learning (including Five Essential Learning Experiences to be provided through Key Learning Areas, Extra-curricular Activities, Co-curricular Activities, etc.) We encourage our students to participate in a wide variety of extra-curricular activities. The activities offered fall under five categories: academic societies, clubs, school teams, interest classes, service teams and uniform groups. There are more than 50 activities fostering leadership and developing potentials. In addition, our students achieved outstanding results in extra-curricular activities, such as the robotic competitions, debate competitions, science competitions and in Speech Festival. The Drama Club and the Gymnastics Team also achieved excellent results in various external contests.

School Characteristics School Management School's Major Concerns: - School Management Organisation: To practise school-based management effectively, the school appoints department heads and teacher representatives to respective committees to develop and adopt the best school policies collaboratively. Incorporated Management Committee / School Management Committee / Management Committee: The Incorporated Management Committee (IMC) consists of representatives from teachers, parents and alumni. 4 meetings are held annually to discuss and adopt policies to help students grow and develop. Besides regular meetings, brainstorming sessions will be held to develop strategies to achieve our vision. School Green Policy: With the funding from the Environmental Protection Fund, the tuck shop has been transformed into an eco-canteen where students can now enjoy quality food and contribute their part in environmental protection. Learning and Teaching Plan Whole-school Language Policy: We have classes using English as the major medium of instruction in junior forms. (Please refer to the table of Subjects Offered) English is used as the medium of instruction (EMI) for learning and teaching of all students in junior form Mathematics (S.1-S.3), Computer Literacy (S.1-S.2) and Business English (S.3). To cater for learner diversity and difference in English capability, EMI and CMI are adopted by class for the following subjects: Science, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Geography, History, Computer Technology, Home Economics, Design and Technology, Music, Visual Art, Physical Education for junior forms. Our English Enhancement Programme includes lunchtime conversation and after school activities with our NETs, English morning assembly, and other interesting activities to create an English-rich environment. Our Towards EMI (TEMI) programme provides students with English language training to enable them to choose EMI electives in senior forms. Learning and Teaching Strategies: The chosen school themes will be infused into classroom teaching and extra-curricular activities to develop the school campus as an environment which is conducive to learning and teaching. Since 2012, "Self-Regulated Learning" has been incorporated into many of the teaching units within the main subjects in junior forms. This mode of teaching encourages students to use "Preparation-Presentation-Feedback' in their active learning. Through annual review and professional staff training, we now have collaboration between all departments and committees to better facilitate students’ learning. Our school implements up-to-date e-learning tools, such as Google Classroom, and online quiz platform, such as Kahoot and Quizizz, to provide students with more opportunities for self-learning, and to equip them with the qualities needed in the 21st century. School-based Curriculum: 1. Electives: 2X and 3X. Economics, Chinese History, Geography, Physics, Chemistry, HMSC, ICT, History, Biology, Visual Arts, BAFS, THS, M1 and M2. 2. Curriculum highlights: In all main subjects, we use collaborative learning, which supports ‘Self-regulated Learning’ and the ‘Thematic Approach’ to design various activities and teaching materials. In order to strengthen school development across the junior forms, we have programmes such as Towards EMI (TEMI), which nurtures students with potential in English and encourages them to use the language inside and outside classroom. Through ‘STEAM’, our school integrates the subject knowledge of Science, Design and Technology, Visual Arts, Mathematics in order to raise students’ high-order thinking and problem-solving competency. In junior forms, humanities subjects and the Individual and Society complement each other and allow students to acquire and build a broad and solid knowledge foundation, so they become more knowledgeable and responsible citizens with a firm sense of national identity, as well as a global perspective. This enables them to have positive values and a good attitude, to treasure Chinese culture and respect social diversity. Development of the Four Key Tasks: 1. Cross-curricular Reading: We strive to promote a habit of reading. Besides the regular reading session and quality e-reading platform, recently the library has collaborated with other departments and committees to link the systematic learning of different subjects. This allows students to handle, integrate and use interdisciplinary knowledge flexibly. 2. Information Technology Teaching: Each subject designs an IT-related plan including e-learning materials and homework to nurture students’ self-learning ability and generic skills. 3. STEAM: All STEAM subjects have reviewed their individual curriculum. In addition, a new subject, Computer Technology, has been added to the S.3 curriculum to support STEAM education. We hope that this will build a solid knowledge foundation, and raise students’ interest in Science, Technology and Mathematics, as well as strengthen their ability to apply the knowledge, nurture their creativity, collaboration and problem-solving skills. 4. Besides implementing 'Staircase growing' plans and activities, our school focuses on developing students' positive values, including 'appreciation', 'respect', 'care' and 'serving others', in order to nurture students' commitment to serving and contributing to society. Life Planning Education: Using ‘Staircase growing’ as the blueprint, the school is developing plans and activities, such as individual and group interviews, seminars, career and life planning courses, visits to educational institutions and workplaces, and work experience, to suit the growth needs of students in order for them to achieve their goals. Our key emphasis is to help S.1 and S.4 students to adapt to the changing demands of school life. While the learning focus of S.1 and S.2 students is self-recognition and goal setting, for S.3 students, it is choosing electives for their senior secondary studies. S.4 students focus on future planning and learning about the workplace. S.5 students progress into career options and potential study paths. S.6 students prepare for public exams and make wise choices for further studies. Our school holds regular talks for parents of students at all levels in order for them to guide their children to make good life plans. Student Support Whole School Approach to Catering for Learner Diversity: To cater for different needs of students, teachers of main subjects adopt class-based curricula and pedagogy in junior forms. After-school tutorials and enhancement classes are available to students. Academic and Most-progressed Awards are in place. Students are encouraged to participate in external competitions and exchange programmes. Our school regularly organises various ‘Other Learning Experiences’ activities and encourages students to actively participate in external competitions to develop their potential in various aspects. To meet the trend of integrated education, a student supporting group is formed to assist the students with special needs. Whole School Approach to Integrated Education: The Special Education Needs (SEN) Coordinator liaises with the management team, functional committee members, class teachers, subject teachers, social workers, educational psychologist and ‘Student Support Team’. Our school uses ‘Learning Support Grant’ flexibly to provide SEN students with appropriate support and service from external professional organisations. Professional training courses on ‘Catering for Students with Special Educational Needs’ are widely available for our teaching staff to equip themselves with relevant skills, which enable SEN students to reach their study targets step by step and obtain successful learning experience. Measures to provide adaptation for Learning and Assessment: Besides formal tests and exams in each term, we also conduct a variety of continuous assessment tasks including project learning, homework and quizzes. After school study groups and retests are offered to junior form students. To maximize the effectiveness of learning in senior forms, we have adopted small class teaching. Home-School Co-operation and School Ethos Home-School Co-operation: Parents and the school have been co-operating closely for the benefits of students. They take part in volunteer work actively and assist in running school activities. The PTA organises various activities and publishes a newsletter regularly to enhance mutual communication. Committee members of the PTA often share their views with the school in the committee meeting. Through frequent contacts, our teachers communicate with parents effectively and harmoniously to provide support to students. School Ethos: School Motto: Great is the Truth. Our Biblical belief lays a solid foundation in all our efforts to establish and nurture the school ethos of caring and fair discipline in a positive, harmonious learning environment. Our students are devoted to their school life. Various counselling and student activities are in place. The Big-Brothers-and-Sisters Scheme helps the young ones at school. We also organise leadership and volunteer training with external organisations to enable our students to become student leaders in all levels of society. In addition, our students have won awards in the ‘Volunteer Campaign’ run by the Social Welfare Department and the ‘Heart to Heart School’ project organised by the Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups. It reflects the message of Jesus Christ, ‘not to be served, but to serve others’. Future Development School Development Plan: The Major Concerns (2018-2021): 1. Enhance Learning Competence and Classroom Effectiveness; 2. Optimise Life Planning Education and Career Guidance. Teacher Professional Training and Development: Our school Teacher Development Team organises staff professional development training regularly, including experience sharing, workshops, seminars and site visits. Our school also joins the Joint Schools Teachers Development Day to allow professional exchanges with other schools. We also actively encourage peer observation among teachers, common lesson planning and professional training through external providers to facilitate professional exchanges and development. Life-wide Learning (including Five Essential Learning Experiences to be provided through Key Learning Areas, Extra-curricular Activities, Co-curricular Activities, etc.) Our school has a range of student societies: the Student Union, four Houses and prefect teams, etc. We provide students with leadership training to develop their leadership potential.

Remarks To promote the development of ‘Self-directed Learning’, our school implements the policy of ‘Small Class Teaching’ and adjusts the teacher-student ratio. One extra class is created in each junior form, with an average class size of less than 27 students per class. In S.4 and S.5, the 4 classes in each form are divided into 6 groups. In S.6, there are 5 classes. The total number of classes in our school is 28.

After implementing ‘Self-directed Learning’ and ‘Small Class Teaching’, an obvious boost in students' learning performance is observed. In recent years, students’ learning efficacy has been raised due to the effective use of Self-directed Learning strategies and e-Learning platforms.

Orientation Activities and Healthy Life In order to provide support for S.1 students and their parents, we conduct an Induction Programme for S.1 students in July and August each year. Through the Induction Programme, students and parents are thoroughly enlightened about the school before the school year starts. The Induction Programme includes: (1) 'A Forum for S.1 New Students’ Parents': Parents can understand more about our school’s strategies in nurturing students and parental involvement in supporting students’ growth and development; (2) 'S.1 Learning Experiences Day': Students are led by the Peer Counsellors to explore what their life would be like in school and experience ‘Self-directed Learning’, which is intended to help them cope with the new environment more easily; (3) 'S.1 Sports Experiences Day': Students get a taste of the colourful sports culture of the school; (4) 'S.1 Mathematics and English Foundation Programme': Students acquire the mathematics and English knowledge required in junior forms. 五育中學 Ng Yuk Secondary School

School Characteristics School Management School's Major Concerns: NgYukers: Confidence, Care and Commitment

Since 2011, our school has taken part in 'Project WeCan' for 10 years and is pleased to be granted the funding of $12,000,000 from Wheelock Properties Limited and Wharf Limited. We also liaise with the Chinese University of Hong Kong to nurture NgYukers with the 3Cs Spirit, namely: Confidence, Care and Commitment. School Management Organisation: Our School Sponsoring Body is Ng Yuk Secondary School Governing Board Limited. Our school managers consist of notables and professionals from various fields supporting the work of teachers wholeheartedly. To involve different stakeholders in school management, we established the Incorporated Management Committee in 2008, inviting teaching staff, parents and alumni to be our school managers. To strengthen communication with students, a consultative committee made up of student representatives is set up. The Principal meets with class representatives regularly to solicit students’ views on school policies. Incorporated Management Committee / School Management Committee / Management Committee: Our Incorporated Management Committee was established in 2008 and comprises Sponsoring Body Managers, Independent Managers, Teacher Managers, Alumni Managers, Parent Managers and the Principal. School Green Policy: To create a sustainable green campus and to nurture environmentally-friendly citizens, we encourage students to actively participate in environmental conservation activities held at school and in the community. We are privileged to be awarded Chairman's Award in Green Building Award 2014, Gold Award in Hong Kong Awards for Environmental Excellence (HKAEE) 2015, Championships in Innovative Energy Project Design Competition 2014, 2016, 2017 and 2018, as well as Gold Award in Hong Kong Green School Award 2019. Learning and Teaching Plan Whole-school Language Policy: Our school places great emphasis on developing students’ biliteracy and trilingualism. To enhance students' English language proficiency, our students have an exchange programme with international school students during the lessons and after school. Through the exchange programme, students can improve their listening, speaking, reading and writing skills. It is our belief that speech training is an effective way to help students master languages. Students from S.1 to S.5 have the opportunity to join the training sessions of choral, solo-verse speaking and drama, and represent our school in the Hong Kong Schools Speech Festival, and various speaking and drama competitions. Our students have been awarded Championship in S.3 English Solo-verse Speaking, Second Runner-up in S.2 English Solo-verse Speaking; Championship in S.2 Cantonese Solo-verse Speaking, First Runner-up in S.3 and S.4 Putonghua Choral Speaking, and Second Runner-up in S.1 and S.2 Cantonese Choral Speaking. To further enhance students' English ability, an after-school programme for Extended Learning Activities was also introduced in 2020-21. Learning and Teaching Strategies: Since 2013, our school has been promoting Self-directed Learning and e-Learning. All teachers have been equipped with a computer tablet. Various kinds of reading activities are in place to cultivate the reading culture in school. A subject-based reading programme is implemented to increase students’ exposure to different reading genres and subject knowledge. Besides, students’ reading habit is developed and general knowledge is constructed through the morning reading programme and different kinds of book sharing activities. To foster STEM education, students are provided with ample opportunities to learn more about science, technology and mathematics, and take part in various inter-school competitions. School-based Curriculum: 1. Electives: 2X. In addition to taking the 4 core subjects, senior form students can choose from 12 electives according to their own interests. 2. Curriculum highlights: Aims of the School-based Curriculum: (1) Mastering two languages and three dialects; (2) Equipping students with broad knowledge base; (3) Developing multiple intelligences; (4) Building a healthy lifestyle; active participation in school activities; (5) Cultivating a vision in life-planning; nurturing a positive learning attitude; (6) Becoming a civic-minded citizen; nurturing oneself so as to reach out to others. Development of the Four Key Tasks: The theme of the Three-Year School Plan (2018-21): Promoting Diversified Learning Modes; Fostering a Caring Culture 1. Passion for learning, Pursuit of excellence, Creation of a promising future 2. Building a fine character, Care for the community, Positive attitude towards life

To develop passion for learning and pursue excellence, our school promotes ‘Self-directed Learning’ and ‘e-Learning’ to broaden students’ horizons and enhance their learning motivation. Each year, the two 'Life-wide Learning Days' and subject-based co-curricular activities such as workplace visits, S.1 excursion to Central and Sheung Wan, and S2 and S4 cross-border learning trips provide enriched opportunities for students to apply their knowledge and skills in community work. With the support from 'Project WeCan' of Wharf Limited and 'Quality School Improvement Project' of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, our students are actively involved in a whole array of inter-school and territory-wide competitions, have a strong quest for knowledge and strive for academic excellence. All these endeavours facilitate the creation of a promising future.

In addition, tutorial classes such as Saturday enrichment classes, HKDSE elite classes, remedial classes, and TSA preparation classes are organised to equip students of varied abilities and interests with exam-tackling skills and to boost their performance in public exams. Life Planning Education: To foster students’ life planning, a ‘Life Planning Resources Centre’ has been set up and a 'Life Planning Handbook' has been devised to help students identify personal development goals. In collaboration with different subjects and departments as well as various organisations, a whole array of career and life planning activities are arranged to enable students to undergo diversified learning experiences and set personal goals for further studies and career development.

Through Project WeCan, students participate in a whole series of life planning activities including the Mentorship Scheme and Job Tasting Programme. Through the 3-4 week summer internship programme at the subsidiaries of Wheelock Properties Limited and Wharf Limited, our students can grow and learn, as well as gain a better understanding of the daily operation of business.

In addition, with the keen support of United Overseas Bank, a Singaporean multinational corporation, a series of life planning activities is arranged for students, enabling them to reach out to the community, broaden their horizons, and pave the way for life planning. Student Support Whole School Approach to Catering for Learner Diversity: To strengthen support for student diversity and enhance learning efficacy, we implement small class and student streaming policy from S1 to S6. To facilitate the implementation of 'Self-directed Learning', students are grouped together according to their learning ability. Learning efficacy is thus maximized through systematic lesson preparation, group discussion, e-learning, sharing and collaboration. Whole School Approach to Integrated Education: Our learning support team, coordinated by the Guidance Mistress and consisting of the Prefect of Studies, Counselling Teachers, Education Psychologist and Programme Workers, provides support for students with Special Educational Needs. Through various kinds of support such as counselling activities and speech therapy, students with Special Educational Needs can receive appropriate training and parents will be informed of their children’s progress. 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; and organising cultural integration activities. Measures to provide adaptation for Learning and Assessment: There are formative and summative assessments in all subjects. For summative assessment, there is one uniform test and there are two end-of-term exams per academic year. Students will be given special exam arrangement based on experts’ evaluation reports. Home-School Co-operation and School Ethos Home-School Co-operation: It has been 43 years since the establishment of the Parents' Association. A general meeting is held regularly with the presence of the Principal, Vice Principal and members of the Community Liaison Team. In the general meetings, school affairs are discussed and school improvement policies are formulated for the creation of a more favourable learning environment. Every year, the Parents' Association organises a wide variety of activities such as S.1 Parents' Orientation, 'Parents-Appreciate-Teachers-Day' and Chinese New Year Gathering. Believing in the importance of family education, the Parents' Association also cooperates with our Counselling Team and social workers to organize a series of activities and seminars for parents. Through these activities, it is our objective to raise parents' concerns on children's school life and development, thus fostering the parent-child relationship and family harmony. Apart from this, the Parents' Association also plays an active role in various school development tasks to strengthen 'Home-School Cooperation', for instance, helping with the promotion work of Shatin Secondary School Tours, sponsoring scholarships and taking part in the tendering of the school's catering service. School Ethos: To nurture NgYukers with 'Confidence, Care, and Commitment', our school conducts various activities to realise the school motto of 'Nurturing oneself so as to reach out to others'. Our school promotes a 'positive and thanksgiving culture'. A dual class teacher system in junior forms and a trio form teacher system in S1 to S4 are in place to provide better pastoral care for students. By fostering students’ moral values and promoting life education as well as various award and punishment schemes, students can learn to tell the rights from wrongs, build proper self-values, and establish a positive and optimistic attitude towards life so as to realize the objective of 'nurturing oneself' in the school motto. To actualise the spirit of 'Reaching out to others', all S2 and S4 students also serve the elderly by staging performances and conducting home visits. Meanwhile, the message of ‘Promoting Diversified Learning Modes, Fostering a Caring Culture’ is emphasized in assembly periods.

Our school offers various prizes and scholarships to students, encouraging them to strive for progress. In 2013, a ‘Study Tour for Outstanding Students’ was launched to award students for their outstanding performance in academic pursuit, conduct, sports and arts, leadership and service as well as whole-person development. The awardees are provided with overseas trips for free. Future Development School Development Plan: It has been our privilege to be one of the participating schools in 'Project WeCan' since 2011.

In 2013, the Education Bureau conducted an External School Review in our school and positive feedback was given to our holistic approach to education. As pointed out in the report, our school took great enthusiasm in the launching of the school-based curriculum reform, which successfully explored students’ potentials. Besides, we were able to take advantage of small class teaching to develop 'Self-directed Learning'. Our dedication to creating a caring school culture, nurturing students’ leadership skills and cultivating students' serving spirit was also recognized and commended in the report. Teacher Professional Training and Development: We have a great team of experienced teachers with 24 teachers holding master's degrees and an average working experience of over 10 years. Facing the keen competition brought by globalisation, teachers' professional development is emphasised in our school. For years, our school has been supported by renowned experts of various subjects from the Quality School Improvement Project of CUHK, who have been involved in our discussions on subject-based and form-based lesson study, 'Self-directed Learning', peer lesson observation and peer book inspection, to enhance learning efficacy inside and outside classrooms. Besides attending 'Joint-School Teachers' Professional Development Day' organized by 'Project WeCan', we also opened our classrooms and conducted sharing sessions in the 'Self-directed Learning Network - Teachers' Development Week' launched by the Hong Kong Association of Heads of Secondary Schools to explore ways of raising the effectiveness of Self-directed Learning. In recent years, students' resilience has been a concern in society. An education psychologist from Education Bureau conducted various workshops to enhance the professional capacity of teaching staff in this sphere and to better serve students' needs, enabling them to grow healthily and happily. Life-wide Learning (including Five Essential Learning Experiences to be provided through Key Learning Areas, Extra-curricular Activities, Co-curricular Activities, etc.) For students' sustainable development physically and artistically, our school has designed a programme called 'One Sport/Art Item for Each' for all S.1 students since 2008.

School Characteristics School Management School's Major Concerns: 1. Enhancement of teaching and learning 2. Development of self-management skills School Management Organisation: Incorporated Management Committee formulates the school development blueprint, and monitors the performance of teaching and learning, the deployment of human resources and the allocation of finance. The Principal, Vice-Principals, Department Heads and the Representatives of teachers form the Administrative Board which formulates the detailed master school plans and organizes staff meetings to discuss and reach a decision on school policies. Incorporated Management Committee / School Management Committee / Management Committee: Our school’s Incorporated Management Committee is composed of the Chairman and the Vice Chairman of Po Leung Kuk, the Principal Education Secretary, the Chief Financial Officer, the Teacher Manager, the Parent Manager, the Alumni Manager, the Independent Manager and the Principal. School Green Policy: We put great effort to create a green campus. We have won the championship of the Greening School Project Award for several years. In order to raise students’ awareness of living green, we encourage them to separate waste at source, do double-sided printing and use durable tableware. Learning and Teaching Plan Whole-school Language Policy: The implementation of small class teaching allows students to learn both Chinese Language and English Language with reference to their abilities. In order to further enhance students' English abilities, Native English Teachers are scheduled to meet our junior form students weekly during a double period and other activities. In addition, English will be adopted as the medium of instruction for some content of Mathematics and Integrated Science so that students' exposure to the language could be boosted. Learning and Teaching Strategies: Our school-based curriculum relates closely to students’ daily life so that they have diversified learning experiences. Through the learning process, their generic skills, positive values and self-directed learning attitudes and knowledge of Key Learning Areas are cultivated. In line with the teaching objectives, our teachers not only apply ample teaching resources but also make use of the edge of information technology to create a favourable learning environment conducive to the enrichment of students’ experiences and the cultivation of their self-learning. Our teachers often encourage our students to express their opinions, provide them with opportunities to demonstrate their learning outcomes, offer them timely praise and provide specific feedback on their strengths and areas for improvements, reinforce their learning performances and guide them to make improvement. Lesson observation and assignment inspection are measures adopted to gauge the quality and effectiveness of the devised curriculum, teaching plans and learning activities while the outcomes of our students’ performances help steer the direction of curriculum development. School-based Curriculum: 1. Electives: 2X. Senior form students are allowed to have two elective subjects for the NSS Curriculum with reference to their own preferences and abilities. 2. Curriculum highlights: To keep pace with the social development and cater for students’ learning needs, we keep adjusting the structure of the curriculum.

Information and Communication Technology Learning Life Planning Education: The implementation of the Life Planning Education in our school enables students to understand themselves, make plans for the future and set up targets of further studies and career development. A Life Planning Committee has been formed to help both junior and senior forms students to make plans at various stages so as to enhance their abilities to enter the workplace in the future. For example, we prepare our students to explore more about their desired careers through attending workshops which invite experts of related fields to share experiences, and also through joining training programmes and visiting worksites to let students have a taste about what the jobs are like in different fields. To provide Life Planning Education, the entire school, including our Counseling Team, Discipline Team, Extra-curricular Activity Team, Academic Board, Moral, Civic & National Education Team and Life Planning Team work together to serve the needs of every student. Student Support Whole School Approach to Catering for Learner Diversity: Streaming of Chinese and English Language classes and scaling the ratio of teachers and students down to 1:20 allow us to provide every student more attention and guidance. To fully support the learning of our students, we have actively promote Recitation(English and Chinese) and STEM project for lower form students and the Outstanding-homework-rewarding Scheme for the whole school. To help the newly-arrived students cope with their problems of adaptation and learning difficulties, our school develops strategies to strengthen the support for them and organizes diversified programmes to cater for their specific needs. We try our best to create a harmonious learning environment for our students. Whole School Approach to Integrated Education: Our school implements the Whole School Approach (WSA) to Integrated Education to cater for learning diversity and enhance the effectiveness of education as a whole. Flexibly and strategically using various grants and resources, we provide the students with special educational needs with suitable and diverse services and support, and help them integrate into the school life. The policies and strategies are as follows: 1) Set up a Student Support Team to plan and co-ordinate the implementation of the WSA. Make good use of various grants, e.g. Capacity Enhancement Grant, Learning Support Grant and Top-up Fund, etc.; 2) Deploy additional teachers, a student counsellor and a speech therapist to enhance classroom teaching and provide assessment, training and intervention; 3) Bring the teacher-student ratio down to 1:20 to give more attention and guidance to individual student; 4) Adopt “Differentiated Teaching Approach” to cater for the learning needs of students to provide flexibility to meet the students’ special needs; 5) Arrange curriculum, teaching adaptation and assessment accommodations; 6) Organize activities and workshops and peer support programmes such as “Caring Ambassadors” and “Chinese and English Language Reading Buddies”; 7) Invite parents to Individual Education Plan (IEP) meetings and strengthen the regular communications with parents in designing, implementing and evaluating the IEPs; and provide support for parents via seminars and workshops delivered by educational psychologists or other professionals; 8) Arrange for teachers to have continuing professional development systemically; and 9) Help the students recognize and develop their own strengths and potential and provide life planning education with the help of “My Growth Profile”.

To effectively help both the students and the parents handle difficulties, apart from having two regular school social workers and an educational psychologist, we also have a Life-wide learning assistant and an extra social worker to help our students with their discipline and provide guidance. Future Development School Development Plan: In the coming year, we will focus more on students’ self-learning. We will allocate more resources on students with special needs.

Our students were also awarded Gold, Silver, Bronze and Merit Prizes in Student Environmental Protection Ambassador Scheme co-organised by EDB and Environmental Protection Department. We also join the Jockey Club BEAM Plus in Schools Project to help reduce at least 10% carbon intensity. Learning and Teaching Plan Whole-school Language Policy: We have classes using English as the major medium of instruction at junior levels (please refer to the subjects offered in the 2020/21 and 2021/22 school years for details). For other junior classes, Mathematics and Science are taught in English and students' English proficiency will be greatly improved. Small class teaching helps to enhance the English Language proficiency of students. Students are divided into small classes for the English lessons and there are altogether 34 teaching groups, which are conducive to individual counselling. The percentage of our students reaching Levels 3 or above in Chinese Language and English Language are above the average of all candidates. From 2016 to present, our English debating team led by our NET were winners in the East New Territories in English debating competitions. We also emphasize the learning of Putonghua. Learning and Teaching Strategies: 1. HKDSE: We have good HKDSE results as a result of supplementary lessons after school and during school holidays. The average percentage of all subjects at Level 2 or above was above 95%. The credit rate of many subjects was higher than the local average. In recent years, approximately 50% of S.6 graduates met the basic university entrance requirements, while over 90% of our students met the basic requirements for sub-degree courses. Both numbers were higher than the local average. Most of our graduates continued their studies at various universities and post-secondary institutions. 2.

Development of the Four Key Tasks: An Extensive Reading Scheme and school-based reading awards are set up to enhance students’ reading proficiency. Students are required to read both Chinese and English newspapers during the daily reading period. Our school library is open even during school holidays. Co-curricular activities and project-based learning are promoted. For example, the Chinese Department and Chinese History Department co-organize annual field trips to different parts of Hong Kong. STEM-related activities are held for S.1 and S.2 students to cultivate their interests in learning science. Moral Education is integrated into our curriculum in the form of Class Teachers’ Lessons, weekly assemblies, sunshine lessons and teachers’ sharing in the morning assembly. Life Planning Education: We joined Career and Life Adventure Planning Project (CLAP) for Youths in 2016. With a grant from "CLAP", we set up a Career Counselling Room to facilitate more effective counselling for career and life planning and other related activities. A student portfolio is launched for career planning for all students and introduce different themes to students of different forms so as to prepare them for their further studies and future career path. We also organize Mock interview and release of HKDSE results workshops, table manners and etiquette workshop to equip students with the skills needed. We provide individual and small group counselling for students in need so as to help them acquire understanding of their own interests and strengths. Student Support Whole School Approach to Catering for Learner Diversity: We have remedial teaching in English, Chinese and Mathematics at junior levels. Having two form teachers for each class enhances the pastoral care for students. Through the introduction of positive education, we organize various workshops and activities to help students discover and develop their character strengths so that students will have a stronger sense of well-being. We also strive to develop students’ ability to show gratitude and encourage teachers and parents to communicate with students using positive expressions. Junior form students will also take part in the “I Promise” scheme. As for senior forms, we promote career and life planning. We have also joined the program for learning diversity run by the EDB. We also operate after school supplementary revision programs and other programmes for the less capable students. Whole School Approach to Integrated Education: Established Student Support Team and appointed a senior teacher as SENCO. Emphasis on home-school cooperation, SST member as an executive member of PTA. Close liaison with school social worker and educational psychologist. Hold a case conference when necessary. Measures to provide adaptation for Learning and Assessment: Formative assessment is used to encourage continuous revision and learning. There are three examinations in addition to various quizzes. The test and examination scores are analyzed to get further improvement. Home-School Co-operation and School Ethos Home-School Co-operation: Our PTA was set up in 1997. We arrange Parents Reading Club and voluntary services for the elderly. Our parents act as models to their children. School Ethos: With our belief in rigour and care, ensuring students’ good discipline is our major concern. Various disciplinary and guidance programs are launched to regulate the behaviour of our students. Our students are appraised by their parents and neighbors.

Our school aims to train our students to become biliterate in English and Chinese, and trilingual in English, Putonghua and Cantonese. Learning and Teaching Strategies: With sophisticated computer network and facilities, our school actively promotes information technology in education. We also emphasize the training of students' self-learning skills, nurturing good virtues and manners, whole-person development and effective teaching and learning. The curricula and teaching syllabuses of various subjects in our school gear closely to the curriculum framework and key learning areas devised by EDB and CDC. School-based curriculum is implemented in our school and the training of students' generic skills is also incorporated in everyday lessons. School-based Curriculum: 1. Electives: 3X.

School Characteristics School Management School's Major Concerns: 1. To make use of the advantages of small classes to implement various tactics to enhance students' self-regulated learning; 2. To implement positive education to promote the well-being of students; 3. To widen students' horizons by enriching their exposure to different growth and life experiences. School Management Organisation: The School encourages all teachers to take part in devising the school development plan and give suggestions regarding school policies. The School Advisory Council, including four elected teacher representatives, conducts regular meetings to discuss school policies. All subject departments and committees implement measures enabling students’ development in various domains and plan for the coming year based on the end-of-term evaluation. The leaders give timely advice, monitor and support the work of departments and committees effectively by joining relevant meetings, and review their plans and minutes. Incorporated Management Committee / School Management Committee / Management Committee: 15 members drawn from different profession sectors(like education, social service, legal profession and commerce and so on), including representatives from the school sponsoring body (Shamshuipo Tsung Tsin Church), parents, alumni, teachers, the Principal and an independent manager. School Green Policy: (Please refer to the "Others" field for details.) Learning and Teaching Plan Whole-school Language Policy: English is used as the MOI in most subjects as what we did in the past. (Please refer to Subjects Offered in the 2020/21 & 2021/22 School Years for details). To create an English-rich learning environment, announcements in morning assemblies are made by students in English and school major functions are also conducted in English with students being the MCs. School notices and internal posters are all bilingual. Students are trained to share in English in morning assemblies and English Week is held annually. Regarding the training of Putonghua in junior forms, some classes are taught in Putonghua for Chinese and there is an individual Putonghua lesson for each class every cycle. Students are trained to participate in the Speech Festival of different languages, as well as English and Cantonese debating and drama activities. All these help to equip students with bi-literarcy and tri-lingualism. Learning and Teaching Strategies: Collaborative teaching featuring joint effort to work out the curriculum framework, division of labour in lesson preparation, collective discussion, revision in teaching plans, peer/cross-curricular lesson observation, as well as reflection and evaluation, is promoted. Our school once joined the 'Learning Study' Scheme in English, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Science, to cater for learner differences and enhance learning effectiveness. All these strategies help to promote a student-centered learning approach which also emphasizes teacher-student and peer interactions. In addition, students are required to have lesson preparation, interaction and reflect on what they have learnt during lessons to cultivate in our students the ability for self-learning to enable them to become a life-long learner. Together with the project learning in various KLAs, students can construct their own learning in these processes. We strive to create a rich English learning environment. We also promote teaching of Chinese through Putonghua. We designed the S.1-S.3 Chinese Language, English Reading Comprehension and English Literature curriculum. Small-class teaching (students will be divided into 6 classes with each class consists of 26-28 students), together with the streaming mechanism based on students' abilities in English, Mathematics and learning Chinese Language through Putonghua, have been practised in all levels since September 2015 to further enhance teacher-student and peer interactions and to cater for the needs of students with mixed abilities. Over the past few years, over 70% of the students agreed that the teacher-student and student-student interaction in class, as well as teachers' concern given were enough. Enhancement or remedial classes in core subjects are arranged at different levels. Student performance in public exams reflected that these strategies have been effective. For HKDSE, the average credit rate (attained level 4 or above) of 2013-2015 was over 65% while that of 2016-2020 was over 77%. An average of 93% of students were offered a degree programme in past three years. School-based Curriculum: 1. Electives: 2X and 3X. The subject combinations of 12 elective subjects allow students to study all arts or all science subjects or a combination of arts subjects, science subjects, business subjects, Visual Arts and Physical Education. 2. Curriculum highlights: (i) There are school-based curricula like Thinking Skills, Arts-in-Life, Technology, Christian Education & Life Education. (ii) English Literature is in place to enhance students' awareness of language arts. Arts-in-Life is an integration of music, home economics and visual arts. Life education aims at instilling correct values in our students. There is more emphasis on drama education to enhance students' expression of ideas and creativity. (iii) Junior form students have to complete projects on arts, science, LS and cultural to equip them with various generic skills. (iv) Our Thinking Skill Curriculum and teaching of various subjects aim at helping our students develop their critical thinking and problem-solving skills. English and Chinese debate training is promoted to enhance their critical thinking and debating skills. (v) STEM education is practised in every junior form. The curriculum covers different topics such as programming and robotics. In STEM lessons in S.1, students learn about electronics and making fan cars. (vi) Junior form students are streamed into different classes based on their abilities in different subjects. There are programs for gifted students and remedial classes for students. (vii) A great variety of learning experiences are provided for our students and a non-academic report is in place to encourage our students to take an active role in arts, sports, personal development and services. Development of the Four Key Tasks: 1. Moral and Civic Education: Foster in students the correct values through the Life Education program (including topics on personal and healthy life, social life, civic and national education, career and life planning), Christian Education lessons, teachers' sharing of their life experiences in morning assemblies and the publication of 'Messages to Shatin Tsung-Tsiners' and the preaching of the Gospel. Students are encouraged and organized to take part in various social services so as to care about different groups in the society. 2. Reading to learn: The Afternoon Reading Scheme (20 minutes each day) for all students, LaLaRead (the mobile book carts), the Junior Form Reading Award Scheme and holiday reading schemes are implemented. Talk given by writers, book exhibitions and book sharing are organized to raise the reading quality. 3. Project Learning: During S.1 to S.3, each student has to submit projects on arts, science, LS and cultural to equip them with different generic skills. 4. Information technology for interactive learning: with consideration to the curriculum, eClass, iPads and different software are employed by different subject panels to facilitate teaching and learning. Life Planning Education: (Please refer to the "Others" field for details.) Student Support Whole School Approach to Catering for Learner Diversity: Students in the junior and senior forms are allocated to different classes with reference to their abilities in English, Mathematics or their choice to learn Chinese Language through Putonghua. These classes have a tailor-made curriculum to maxmize students' strengths. Gifted students are arranged to take part in relevant internal and external courses and activities. Remedial classes are provided to students who are less capable. In addition to counseling students on an individual basis, the three School Social Workers also lead some growth groups and run various activities for different forms. School - based educational psychology and speech therapy services have been introduced to conduct assessments and carry out follow-up work for students in need. Whole School Approach to Integrated Education: With the aim of being inclusive and nurturing a caring school culture, our school adopts the "Whole School Approach" to provide support for students with special educational needs. Through home school cooperation and appropriate allocation of resources, we provide our students with suitable and comprehensive support in the hope of enhancing students' learning effectiveness and ability to adjust to the school life. A Student Support Team has been established in our school. The team consists of the Vice Principal, the SENCO, a SENST, the school social workers, the educational psychologist, the speech therapist, class teachers and teaching assistants. Teachers and teaching assistants have taken courses on integrated education so as to enhance their professional capabilities. For students with special educational needs, our school provides assessment and referral to the educational psychologist if necessary. To provide intensive individualized support for students with Autism Spectrum Disorders, our school cooperated with the EDB for 5 years to provide assessment for the students as well as training for the teachers. With a Learning Support Grant and the school resources, school-based inclusive activities and training for students are provided with the help of external institutions. Our school invites relevant professionals, teachers and parents to join IEP meetings and draw up an IEP for students who are assessed to be in need of intensive individualized support. Parents concerned are equipped with effective nurturing skills. Furthermore, our school arranges internal assignment and assessment accommodation and helps them to apply for accommodation in public exams. Measures to provide adaptation for Learning and Assessment: There are one Uniform Test (only 3 core subjects are included in the S.1 & S.2 Uniform Test) and two exams for junior forms supplemented by continuous evaluation of students' assignments to alleviate students' examination pressure and remind students of their continued effort towards learning. Regarding students with special educational needs, suitable adaptation for assignments and assessments will be provided based on expert opinions. Home-School Co-operation and School Ethos Home-School Co-operation: To maintain effective contact between parents and the school, the PTA continues with programmes that contribute to the forging of a better home-school cooperation culture. Such programmes include 'Meeting Parents of First-formers', a school policy forum, Parents' Day, talk for parents and seminars on the senior secondary curriculum. Moreover, home-school communication can be further strengthened through various publications (e.g. Tips for Parents of First-formers, Bulletin for Parents and the Parent Basic Law), a hotline, an email link, WhatsApp and other channels like lunchtime gatherings and 'Parents Prayer Meeting'. Parents are also welcome to sit in the meeting of the Parent-Teacher Association. eClass Parent App is used to deliver the most updated news and information about their wards' learning and campus life to parents and/or guardians. School Ethos: Students are generally attentive and motivated to learn. They follow teachers’ instructions and classroom discipline can be maintained. Most students are serious about completing their pre-lesson tasks. They have established the habit of doing pre-lesson preparation well. Students can learn from each other and strive for excellence by exchanging views. They construct knowledge collaboratively and the learning atmosphere is pleasing. Students have a serious and active learning attitude, and are keen to seek for improvement. Students have a neat and modest appearance. They respect teachers and get along well with each other. They love and care about the school. They enjoy school life and are willing to participate, organize and manage school activities. They have a sense of belonging to the school (extracted from 2019 EDB ESR report). Refer to "Others" section for the strategies. Future Development School Development Plan: 1. To make use of the advantages of small classes to implement various tactics to enhance students' self-regulated learning; 2. To implement positive education to promote the well-being of students; 3. To widen students' horizons by enriching their exposure to different growth and life experiences. Teacher Professional Training and Development: Our teachers are experienced and hardworking. They are professional, caring and committed to nurturing the youth. Their relationship with students is harmonious. They actively take part in school-based and external training programs to strive for excellence. Collaborative teaching and Mentorship Scheme are in effect to encourage teachers to conduct collective lesson planning, mutual class observation and class reflection to enhance teaching effectiveness. Student-centered teaching approach, which emphasizes peer interaction as well as teacher-student interaction, is promoted. Life-wide Learning (including Five Essential Learning Experiences to be provided through Key Learning Areas, Extra-curricular Activities, Co-curricular Activities, etc.) Our school offers a variety of more than 30 interest groups (including the ones initiated by students) and school teams, and some 20 music instrument classes. The "One-student-one-music" and "One-student-one-art/sport" policies adopted in the junior forms and the "One-student-one-art" policy implemented in the senior forms encourage students to unearth their potential in aesthetics and sports. Our school's Chinese Orchestra, Symphonic Orchestra and School Band have received high regard for their spectacular standard.

School Characteristics School Management School's Major Concerns: Provide more autonomy for students and teachers to be engaged in learning and teaching activities. Organize activities under the “Vitality Campus Scheme’ to foster positive energy and nurture resilience. School Management Organisation: The Incorporated Management Committee is responsible for appointing and supervising the Principal in the school management level. Under the Principal, the school is run and operated with the help of three administration committees, including the 'School Administration Committee', 'School Curriculum and Academic Committee' and 'Student Development Committee'. The 'School Administration Committee' supervises and inspects the overall operation of the school. Whereas the 'School Curriculum and Academic Committee' takes care of and optimizes the development of the teaching curriculum and academic performance of students under the various operation systems and policies. Incorporated Management Committee / School Management Committee / Management Committee: The school has officially set up the Incorporated Management Committee in 2008 to include representatives from the school management, parents, teachers and alumni for the most effective management performance under joint efforts. School Green Policy: Our school is devoted to the creation of a Green Campus through the installation of energy saving facilities and the cultivation of green practices among students. A food waste decomposer has been installed to encourage organic farming practices and to enhance students’ awareness on environmental protection. With a view to further enhance the effectiveness in energy use, we have introduced the solar power boards and Grade 1 Energy Label appliances in our Room Air Conditioning System. We have also endeavored to promote a recycling culture on campus to reduce the production of solid waste and the consumption of energy. Learning and Teaching Plan Whole-school Language Policy: To enhance students' language proficiency, the school has devoted various resources in the creation of an authentic language environment beneficial to our learning atmosphere. From Form 1 to 3, more time in the Chinese lessons will be devoted to Putunghua teaching to increase students’ exposure to this lingua franca in our country. To enrich English learning, we have joined the NET scheme and some subjects provide English materials and activities. Students therefore have many chances to conduct conversations with the NET both inside and outside their classrooms. For the needs of the cross-border and newly – arrived students, we have regular elite and remedial classes. It is also our common practice to encourage students to actively take part in activities outside the classrooms, such as joining Reading Schemes, Speech Festivals (English, Putonghua and Cantonese) and Writing Competitions. Learning and Teaching Strategies: Subject panels and groups meet regularly to revise and tailor-made learning and teaching strategies in the hope of maximizing benefits to meet students' abilities and needs. All strategies are student-oriented. Small learning groups are common whenever there is a need. Students will also be encouraged to learn outside their classrooms under our newly implemented 'Mobile Learning' Scheme in order to broaden their learning horizons. The school has updated the use of ipads and ebooks and adopted the practice of collaborative lesson planning and class visits to enhance learning and teaching efficiency. This year the school has newly installed interactive smartboards in every classroom to facilitate effective teaching and learning as well. School-based Curriculum: 1. Electives: 2X. Please refer to the school website for more details of the courses offered for Applied Learning. 2. Curriculum highlights: In order to cater for different needs of the students, we have introduced diversity in curriculum to develop the spectrum of students' interests and potentials. Development of the Four Key Tasks: Confidence is the key to enhancing learning effectiveness and boosting motivation. To that end, our school has identified learner confidence as this year's strategic goal. We will continue with the policy of using more mini assessment tasks which are developmental in purpose, easy for students to cross the passing threshold but challenging for them to achieve high scores. Such an approach will boost learners' confidence and at the same time create goals which inspire them to work hard to realize their full potential.

Another important initiative which our school will pursue this year is the promotion of a culture of positive energy. We will be putting forth a “Positive Curriculum” and “Positive Thinking Education” to help students understand their emotions and develop positive values. Life Planning Education: We will be collaborating with different organizations to launch a variety of activities including career visits and work experience internships to enrich their exposure and understanding of our society's needs and dynamics. We believe that such co-curricular experience will foster a culture of positive optimism around the school. Student Support Whole School Approach to Catering for Learner Diversity: In our attempt to create a caring and inclusive campus, we have adopted the “Whole School Approach to Integrated Education” to support SEN students so as to provide appropriate and diverse support services to enhance their learning efficacy. The support service team comprises of our Vice-Principal, an SEN Coordinator, the Counseling Master, core subject teachers, social workers, teaching assistants and education psychologists. We are using the SEN support funds in the most sensible and flexible manner, such as increasing the number of teaching staff and teaching assistants, or subscribing to professional services provided by language therapists and counselors, in order to cater for the needs of each and every SEN student. They will also be given special arrangements both for internal and public examinations based on the guidelines from the Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority. Through the cooperation with professional teams outside the school, we hope to give the most suitable form of assistance to help students in their learning and personal growth. Each SEN student will be assigned a mentor from senior forms to help them better blend into their school life. Extra support is also available through regular meetings with SEN students and their parents. Whole School Approach to Integrated Education: In our attempt to create a caring and inclusive campus, we shall use the “Whole School Approach to Integrated Education” to support SEN students.

Measures to provide adaptation for Learning and Assessment: Under normal circumstances both formative and summative assessments are conducted regularly in each term with a view to reinforcing the strengths of students as well as to checking their learning progress. This is done so that relevant follow-up measures could be taken to facilitate quality learning in future. Special amendments are also made in our assessment papers to cater for learner differences in the same class or same form.

Bilingual teaching is implemented from S.4 to S.6 and it is proved that with the use of Chinese as MOI in our school, our students are better able to understand what is taught and can analyze problems, express views, develop an enquiring mind and cultivate critical thinking. Learning and Teaching Strategies: We employ a range of strategies to raise the effectiveness of teaching and learning, such as inter and intra-departmental collaboration and e-learning. In addition, our Academic Prefects work with teachers to support and guide junior students in remedial and enhancement classes for Chinese, English and Mathematics, which strengthen abilities and confidence. Furthermore, language arts is taught by our Native English Speaking Teacher to our junior form learners, boosting their creative opportunities. As a result, our curricula, methodology, classroom activities and assessment are tailor-made to best fit our learners’ levels and needs. Additionally, life-wide learning activities like visits, tours and project learning further extend experiences to take learners beyond the classroom and into other contexts. Another strategic measure is our reading schemes, a variety of which are offered to forge effective reading habits and provide enrichment from extended reading. To enhance student learning effectiveness, assessment is integrated into the curriculum as well as the teaching and learning process. Hence, various modes of assessment are adopted including tests, examinations and continuous assessments-both summative and formative. School-based Curriculum: 1. Electives: 2X. 11 electives are available for students to choose from based on their yearly academic performance, their personal interest, and future life planning. Students can also choose music and Japanese courses provided by outside organisations. 2. Curriculum highlights: Through the collaboration of different Key Learning Areas, we aim to extend students' generic skills and self-directed learning capacities. For example, project learning, where students can enhance their 21st century skills such as collaboration proficiency, problem solving abilities and creativity. In addition, our Chinese and English debate teams enable students to develop their critical thinking and communication prowess. Also, our adoption of e-learning allows students to enhance their I.T. competencies and we have a whole-school based voluntary scheme which can nurture not only self-management abilities but also empower life-long learning. Development of the Four Key Tasks: The school values the development of the four key tasks and all departments actively promote and implement subject-based and cross-curriculum project learning as well as incorporating e-learning elements. These upgrade our students' motivation to learn and, at the same time, cultivate their skills. Meanwhile, through promoting our cross-discipline reading scheme, we hope to enhance students' capacity to self-learn. We also infuse the education of moral and civic education with our formal and informal curricula, including talks on morality and projects involving volunteering, with the hope of cultivating positive values and attitudes to life. Life Planning Education: We offer our learners a comprehensive careers and life-planning programme, empowering them with the skills, knowledge and attitude to conquer any future challenges. Our programme is spread across their secondary school years and adopts a variety of methods and measures to provide learning opportunities and experiences. We aim for learners to understand themselves, set their own goals, learn how to devise and reflect on their own career and life plans, and explore multiple pathways ahead. All our stakeholders are devoted to provide an authentic and meaningful programme to our learners. This has been achieved through three key methods. First, all subject departments and functional groups infuse career and life-planning elements in their learning activities, allowing students to relate school-based learning to future educational and career directions. Second, we provide a total and authentic experience for our students by forging a strong partnership of teachers, parents, alumni, community organisations, the business community and other school personnel. Third, individual needs and differences are catered for by providing an advisory service to counsel students in the process of making important educational and career transitions. These measures combine to offer an effective and valuable programme to our learners and assist them in creating a successful future. Student Support Whole School Approach to Catering for Learner Diversity: In order to fulfil the goal of Inclusive Education, we collaborate with other teachers/functional teams in the school through the WSA to devise support programmes, curriculum and teaching adaptations, and special examination and assessment arrangements for students with SEN. Strengthen external liaison with parties such as professionals, community resources providers and parents to better coordinate various parties and resources for supporting students with SEN in the school. Whole School Approach to Integrated Education: In order to fulfil the goal of Inclusive Education, our school has the Student Support Group, working closely with parents, school social worker, and the Education Psychologist, with the aim to provide personal and appropriate support to SEN students.
