🎯 Mission
To nurture our students with Quality Christian education and act faithfully according to our school motto of “Understanding Truth, Pursuing God, Developing Diligence and Cultivating Virtue.” We will humbly serve the community to honour God’s Holy name.
📚 Approach & Strategies
1. Our school attaches great importance to developing students into self-regulated learners and cultivating their collaboration and entrepreneurial skills. In this regard, we develop e-learning in class, implement BYOD, and incorporate STEAM education and cross-curricular project learning in our junior form curriculum. 2. We make use of the three aspects of assessment to promote learning and teaching: assessment of learning, assessment for learning and assessment as learning. We have established a data analysis team to make effective use of assessment data by generating VA for internal assessments and using AQP from HKEAA to enhance learning. 3. With the introduction of Study Days and Students’ Days before and after the test/exam, we have established a strong learning atmosphere on campus.
💛 SEN Support
The members of the Student Support Team include special educational needs coordinators, support teachers, counselling teachers, social workers, educational and clinical psychologists, and teaching assistants. The Student Support Team cooperates with all class teachers and subject teachers to take care of students with individual learning needs in a "whole-school approach" model. For example, "individual learning plans" are developed for students at the third level of support. Also, by using the Learning Support Grant, our clinical psychologist provides one-on-one counselling for students in need. A series of individual or group programs are purchased according to the individual needs of students.
🎨 Whole-person Learning
成立不同學會、興趣小組、校隊、合唱團和基督徒團契等，舉辦各類訓練營，義工服務，國內及海外學習交流團，藉此培養學生的領導才能和責任感，並擴闊學生的視野。
