🎯 Mission
To offer students a favorable learning environment in which they can receive a well-balanced education as well as achieve a holistic development befitting contemporary needs based on Buddhist values.
📚 Approach & Strategies
Chinese, English, and Mathematics are taught in ability-based groups of around 20 students, allowing teachers more opportunities for individual guidance and helping students improve their academic performance and confidence. Each group follows its own curriculum and teaching goals, aiming to stretch high achievers and support those who need extra help. In senior forms, the focus shifts to intensive practice, critical thinking, and self-assessment to build a strong academic foundation that supports students’ future development and prepares them for public exams and university admission. The school-wide “Reading Programme” is implemented before lessons, with a dedicated Reading subject introduced in Form 1 to teach reading strategies. Students are also required to read extracurricular books…
💛 SEN Support
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.
🎨 Whole-person Learning
There are about 30 clubs and interest groups in our school. The special ones are Uniform Groups and Campus TV. 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.

| learning_and_teaching_plan_url | http://www.bkkss.edu.hk |
| 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 Physical education and Visual Arts. <br>In senior forms, English is used as the medium of instruction in Science subjects. |
| school_based_curriculum | 1. Electives: 2X and 3X. Students must study 4 core subjects and sit for at least 2 electives in the HKDSE.<br> 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. |
| major_renewed_emphases_in_the_school_curriculum | 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.<br>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.<br>We hope that students can have better, clearer, realistic, and achievable careers or academic fulfillment. |
| whole_school_approach_cater_for_learner_diversity | In order to cater for students' diverse learning needs, the incorporated management committee supports the employment of several additional teachers for small-class Chinese, English, Mathematics and Citizenship and Social Development teaching.
