Foster curriculum development to improve learning effectiveness 2. Foster positive attitudes and encourage students to go upstream School Management Organisation: Under the school-based management framework, teachers and parents participate directly in school decision-making. The collective wisdom of school managers helps improve the teaching and learning environment as well as the effectiveness of students' learning. All managers work together to ensure better school management and enhance the performance of our school. Incorporated Management Committee / School Management Committee / Management Committee: In 2007, the Incorporated Management Committee of the school has been established. With the spirit of school-based management, different stakeholders like the school sponsoring body, the principal, teachers, parents, alumni and independent members take part in the decision-making so as to enhance the quality and effectiveness of education. School Green Policy: Our school strives to promote environmental education. In order to arouse the awareness of environmental protection among students, our school has organised various activities by which students have become more concerned about the well-being of the globe. The effort and achievements of our school are widely recognised. Owing to our contribution, we have won School Honours Award under Schools Environmental Award Scheme for 5 consecutive years, Gold Award and Devotion of Promotion of Sustainable Development Honours Award(in recognition of receiving the SD Community Project Award for six consecutive years) of the Sustainable Development School Award Programme, and also the Bronze Award in the Hong Kong Awards for Environmental Excellence(Schools: Secondary). We have gained the enduring honour of "Green School". Learning and Teaching Plan Whole-school Language Policy: Since the establishment of our school, we have persisted in mother-tongue teaching. To enhance students' capability of handling trilingualism is also our school major concern. We firmly believe that mother tongue is the most effective medium of instruction for our students by which they can fully acquire the subject knowledge and develop higher order thinking. Concurrently, English language learning is always a top priority. We infuse the English language into the junior form curricula. We are devoted to creating a favourable English learning environment for our students. By launching different English learning programmes, the English standards of our students have greatly improved. Learning and Teaching Strategies: We received the honour of Chief Executive's Award for Teaching Excellence (2016/2017) in “Science Education Key Learning Area”. To improve learning effectiveness through the enhancement of students' self-learning skills is our school major concern. Besides the implementation of e-learning, we also create student learning communities and equip students with learning strategies. Our teachers are responsive, hardworking, dedicated and innovative. Significant upgrading in the professional qualification of teachers can be seen. The professional development and mentorship schemes of our school encourage peer lesson observation, collaborative lesson preparation, lesson study and other informal sharing among our teachers. Catering for students' diverse learning needs, we adjust the curriculum according to students' individual differences. Cross-curricular integration is implemented to reduce overlapping content and make good use of the teaching resources. The junior secondary subject, Liberal Studies, aims at developing students' thinking skills and bridging the senior secondary curriculum. Besides, all junior subject teachers have to teach students the related English technical terms and provide supplementary English materials. School-based Curriculum: 1. Electives: 2X and 3X. Our students are given proper guidance to decide on the elective subjects that best suit their interests, aptitudes and abilities. 2. Curriculum highlights: The junior secondary subjects from different key learning areas aim at developing students' thinking skills and bridging the senior secondary curriculum. Development of Key Tasks: Reading to Learn: Besides the Chinese and English reading lessons, we have launched the School-wide Reading Campaign
