All F.1 to F.6 students have to study Religious and Moral Education for two periods per cycle. F.4 students have to take three elective subjects. Indeed, our F.4 students have many subject combinations to choose from. Besides the formal curriculum, we also organise sports days, swimming galas, sports competitions of all sorts, music contest, instrumental music classes, sports training courses and social service activities, so students can develop in a suitable area of education. We also encourage students to take part in some religious activities to enhance their knowledge about Catholicism. For many years, we have been providing study rooms and running study skill courses to help students "learn how to learn".

Life Planning Education:
1. Junior Form: a programme will be organised to raise the self-understanding and sense of life planning of the students through a series of activities.
2. Senior Form: activities ranging from career interest assessment, job shadowing, visits to workplace, careers talks and group discussions moderated by alumni will be held to let students have an in-depth understanding of the requirements and prospect of different industries. These activities would help plan the future career direction of the students.
