Whole-school Language Policy:
1. Our medium of instructions policy is based on the students' needs and their English proficiencies. Basically, we adopt Chinese as medium of instruction.
2.To better prepare students for tertiary education, students having good English foundations, will be taught in English for some subjects in senior forms.
3. Students are exposed to an English-rich learning environment throughout their Junior Form studies. 4.The English-rich learning environment helps students to strengthen their English proficiencies and increase the number of students who are capable to learn with English.
5. The school scaffolds students with lower socio-economic status to learn English, so as to ensure equal chances are given to all of our students to fully develop their potentials.

Learning and Teaching Strategies:
Our school is an ordinary grammar boys' school. We strive to provide substantial, interactive, diversified and lively curriculum that aims to cater for the unique needs of boys. Our Senior Secondary curriculum provides a broad spectrum of electives that spans across humanities, science, technology, arts and sports for students to actualize their aspirations and abilities. As for our lessons, we emphasize clear learning outcomes, which are achieved by means of interactive learning activities and regular students’ assessments. Besides, we also provide a summary at the end of every lesson to consolidate learning. In Junior Secondary level, Self-Regulated Learning Scheme is implemented to nurture students to be autonomous learners and enhance their learning motivations. The scheme greatly uplifts students’ participation and initiatives in class through group discussions and pre-lesson tasks. The school is committed to facilitating the development of STEM ) and IT education. To strengthen our students’ problem solving skills, creativity and hands on experiences to solve realistic problems by integrating their skills and knowledge learnt from different subjects, the Mathematics Department, the Science Department, the Computer Department and the Technology Department have jointly organized a cross curricular collaboration in our junior forms known as The STEM Education. With generous donations, the school has setup a STEM Education Centre. With the STEM Education Centre, students can actualize their creativity, sharpen their problem-solving skills and engage in communications, collaborations, logical deductions and investigations.

School-based curriculum:
1. Electives: 2X. Our students may take two electives according to their interests, aptitudes and abilities.
2. Curriculum highlights: Our school is a normal cultural boys school in Hong Kong, students are required to sit for the HKDSE exam. Our school offers students a wide range of subjects: the four core subjects and various electives covering all learning areas. To cater for the individual needs and ensure learning progress of our students with different levels, we adopt a learner-oriented approach with tiered teaching strategy, implemented with collaborative learning and self-regulated learning methodologies.
In addition, we emphasize hands-on experience for our students to assist their learning and boost their confidence. In science lessons, they learn through participating in lab experiments. We hope the sense of achievement gained in science subjects can stimulate their learning interest in other areas.

Development of the Four Key Tasks:
Morning reading sessions are held twice a week. An online reading scheme is adopted to allow students to read whenever they have time, whether they are at home or they are in the campus. This year, we successfully applied for the Quality Education Fund and launched a "Joyful Reading" program, which aims to enhance students' reading by optimizing library equipment, updating and increasing reading resources in the library. We also promote variety reading activities in schools which aims to strengthen students' interest in reading to achieve learning from reading. Structured e-learning materials are put on the online leaning platform for students to further consolidate their learning in Chinese Language or in English Language. There are 146 iPads for teachers and students to use in class.

Life Planning Education:
Our life planning education offers students advice on career, further studies and finding jobs.
It plays a significant role in fostering students’ self-understanding, personal planning, goal setting, reflective habits of mind and articulation to progression pathways. With the help of different disciplines, programmes like “Who am I?”, “Personal Growth diary”, “I want to fly high” and “Understanding various jobs” are organised to help students have a better grasp of their own personality and aptitudes. Coupled with seminars, workshops and first-hand experience through on site observation, students are well informed when they make their choice for their future career.
