| whole_school_approach_cater_for_learner_diversity | Queen’s College has adopted the three-tier operation mode suggested by the Education Bureau in implementing gifted education.

| home_school_co_operation | Family upbringing and school education have always formed the cornerstone of child development, and hence good communication and correspondence between parents and teachers are essentially important. Established in 1989, the Queen’s College Parents-Teachers’ Association (QCPTA) performs the function of facilitating said co-operation. Since its establishment, the QCPTA has regularly enlisted the help of parent volunteers to organize events such as community service activities, parents’ talks, Teachers’ Day celebrations, dumpling-making workshops, Open Day bazaars, parent-child trips, briefing sessions for new S.1 parents, Parents’ Blood Donation Day, overseas university talks, used book sales and basketball friendly matches. We sincerely express our gratitude towards parents’ active participation and unwavering support. We also give our special thanks to our parent volunteers who made every event a fulfilling one for teachers, students and families. In the coming year, the QCPTA hopes to continue to leverage the support of parents to maximize home-school co-operation, and improve the learning environment and family lives of Queen’s College students. |
| school_ethos | Our school focuses on the whole-person development of the students as well as the five core values, namely Diligence, Brotherhood, Integrity, Responsibility and Pursuit of Excellence, in order to groom students to become future leaders. Diligence reminds our students to be hardworking. Brotherhood indicates the hope that our students treasure their friendship and are willing to help each other. In fact, many graduates participate actively in various school functions to provide support to the students. In recent years, a 'mentoring scheme' has been established, in which alumni of various professions offer work-related learning experiences to the students and provide guidance and advice for their career and life planning. Integrity and Responsibility are values that our students are expected to possess and are reflected in their behaviour. Pursuit of Excellence is the goal of each of our students. They are always eager to improve themselves and strive for the best. All in all, our students are self-disciplined and are ready to uphold the five core values of Queen’s College. |
