🎯 Mission
With the rationale of "teaching students in accordance with their aptitude", we devote ourselves to helping students enhance their knowledge in language and information technology, and building up their foundation for lifelong study. We also emphasize the development of students' personal character so they can become honest and enterprising citizens.

Moreover, we have adopted a small class size, streaming policy to cater for students' learning diversity.

Our school adopts ‘Whole-school Approach’ to implement Integrated Education. By establishing ‘Student Support Team’, which comprises vice principals, the SEN coordinator, SEN support teachers, subject teachers, teaching assistants, etc., and encouraging teachers to enroll in the courses concerned, our school enhances teachers’ competence in Integrated Education. We also flexibly use Learning Support Grant (LSG) and other resources to provide a wide range of support for the students who have special educational needs. The support ranges from recruiting teachers and assistants of Integrated Education, to buying services for students with speech impediment or autism. Through tailoring our curriculum, diversifying teaching strategies, preparing graded homework and exams, we try to embrace stu…

| school_major_concerns | Cultivate good learning habits in students and improve learning efficiency<br>Establish a sense of identity and determine life goals |
| school_organisation | School-based management is implemented in our school. The Incorporated Management Committee has been incorporated since 1 August 2006. We have already reformed the administrative structure of our school in order to strengthen the efficiency of management. On top of that, the School Administrative Board has been formed with teachers' participation in formulating policy. |
| imc_smc_mc | The composition of the Incorporated Management Committee includes eight Sponsoring Body Managers, one alternate manager from sponsoring body, two elected Teacher Managers, one elected Parent Manager and one elected Alternate Parent Manager, the Principal (Ex-officio Manager), one elected Alumni Manager and one Independent Manager. |
| school_green_policy | Our school aims at developing the school campus to a green school. Students are encouraged to keep the school clean and tidy, to save water and electricity, to carry out various recycled learning activities, setting up Green Cafeteria helps reduce kitchen waste and using reusable utensils promotes green environment. Our school was also subsidized by the Environment and Conservation Fund for upgrading work and installing the necessary equipment for "on-site meal portioning". For education, our school installed two solar energy generation systems. |
| language_policy | Students always come first when we formulate our language policy. We aim at helping our students master Chinese, English and Putonghua. While Chinese remains our medium of instruction, English learning tops our priority list too. As mother tongue education facilitates the learning of subject knowledge, besides English Language, all other subjects are taught in Chinese. Also, the school wisely deploys its resources to work out an all-round and sustainable plan to create a language rich environment to enhance students' interest and initiative in English language. |
| school_based_curriculum | 1. Electives: 2X. The school offers 12 electives and 20 APL (Applied Learning) courses.<br> 2.

| major_renewed_emphases_in_the_school_curriculum | Thanks to "Project WeCan" sponsored by the Wharf Group, we now have a CSA Home. It gives students the feeling and warmth of a second home, Organizing day camps and overnight camps which help foster self-discipline, communication skills and a sense of belonging. Apart from putting weekly “Reading Scheme” and “Sharing of Reading in Classroom” into the school curriculum in order to build up our students’ reading habit, extra efforts have been put to create more space for reading, to help students take the initiative to read and to enjoy the fun of reading. Our school supports Information Technology for Interactive Learning and Collaborative learning, to promote knowledge sharing and building. They are encouraged to learn proactively on their own. Besides, project learning activities are arranged for S.1 to S.3 students. Students are divided into groups, and hand in reports as well as do presentation in class. Our school tries to nurture our students the four core values: Diligence, Trustworthiness, Compassion and Fairness as stated in our school motto, twelve values and attitudes and 24 positive character strengths to strengthen moral education, and to cultivate honest and responsible citizens. In recent years, our school has made an effort to strengthen the sense of national identity among our students through involving them in different learning experiences. Moreover, the school encourages our students to participate in community services so as to develop a sense of belonging to our community. |
| life_planning_education | Using the concept of “life planning” as the basis for careers and counselling projects, our school emphasizes the idea of learning through experience. With small counselling group and interactive activities, we let students go through 3 stages (self understanding and development, career exploration, and career planning and management) to understand their own needs and build up their preliminary life goals. In light of the unique situations and growth needs of junior and senior secondary students, the school starts helping students shape their lives in a systematic way when they are in junior forms. Careers talks, trial lessons of S.4 electives, visits to workplace, workshops, overseas study tours, and a 2-week workplace experience have been provided to students together with the needed information so as to let students know more career paths and enhance their confidence and competitive edge. Students can therefore foster a sense of responsibility towards themselves as well as the society and also the right attitude. With broadened horizons, they can equip themselves with the integrity and ability that suit the society and then pursue their dreams in a planned and more practical way. |
