🎯 Mission
With the spirit of Jesus Christ our Lord, our mission is to provide an all-round education and to nurture the qualities of a LAMWOOER (Leadership, Ardour, Modesty, Wisdom, Optimism, Originality, Empathy and Responsibility).
📚 Approach & Strategies
We place a strong emphasis on training our students to be biliterate and trilingual. In the junior forms, students are streamed based on their abilities in English and Mathematics, while in the senior forms, they are streamed according to their proficiency in Chinese and English. This approach allows us to better cater to the individual needs of our students. Students also develop generic skills and higher-order thinking skills through various academic subjects. In the senior forms, students can choose from a wide range of subjects in arts, science, and commerce. In the junior forms, we have implemented three school-based subjects, namely, Language Across the Curriculum, Language Arts, and STEAM, specifically designed to facilitate students' adaptation to the new English-learning environm…
💛 SEN Support
Our school adopts a 'whole-school approach' to promote inclusive education. We have established the Student Support Team, consisting of the Principal, Vice Principals, teacher coordinators, Guidance teachers, social workers, etc., to provide support for students with special educational needs. Teachers are also encouraged to participate in relevant courses on inclusive education to enhance their professional capabilities. Our school flexibly utilizes the 'Learning Support Grant' and other internal resources to provide diverse support for students with special educational needs. This includes hiring inclusive education tutors and assistants to provide appropriate support to students. Additionally, our school offers speech therapy service to students in need of training. We also cater to st…
🎨 Whole-person Learning
We offer a wide range of extracurricular activities, with over 50 types to choose from. These activities cover various interest areas, including academic study, interest classes, art, music, and sports training courses. Additionally, we organise annual leadership training camps for both junior and senior students. Our students regularly participate in cultural functions, visits, exhibitions, and overseas English study tours. They also engage in various types of study, join exchange programmes, and take part in social service tours to both Mainland and other overseas countries.

The Student Health Promotion Committee plays a crucial role in offering a range of health services and activities to our students. The committee's main objective is to promote a healthy and active lifestyle while raising awareness about health throughout the school.

| learning_and_teaching_plan_url | https://www.lamwoo.edu.hk/school.php?id=18 |
| language_policy | English is the medium of instruction at our school. We have two native English teachers who assist students in developing their English communication skills. Our language policy aims to increase students' exposure to English through the English Award Scheme and regular English Speaking Days. School announcements are made in both English and Putonghua. We have both Chinese and English Debate Teams, both of which have achieved success and won awards in various inter-school debating contests. Additionally, the Lam Woo Foundation has generously provided language scholarships to students who demonstrate excellence in Chinese, English, and Putonghua. |
| school_based_curriculum | 1. Electives: 2X and 3X. For students studying three elective subjects in S.4, one elective subject can be dropped after the First Examination.<br> 2.

| major_renewed_emphases_in_the_school_curriculum | Lam Woo General Education in S.5 utilizes the space created by replacing 'Liberal Studies' with 'Citizenship and Social Development' in the HKDSE curriculum. Students can choose from eighteen options covering diverse subjects such as forensic anthropology, sign language, and flight simulation. General Education classes provide a refreshing break from regular subjects and offer new insights and experiences to enrich students' school lives. We have established a Reading Promotion Committee to encourage reading among our students. Regular book-sharing sessions are conducted by teachers and students to broaden their horizons. Additionally, we organise annual events such as the Old Book Sale and Book Fair to further promote reading. Moreover, we arrange regular book exhibitions and invite renowned authors to give talks as part of our ongoing efforts to foster a love for reading. In terms of Information Technology in learning, we have an intranet, Google Classroom and an eClass integrated platform to facilitate the sharing and circulation of information. Furthermore, we have implemented mobile learning in classrooms to encourage students' self-directed learning. Moral and Civic Education is an integral part of our school curriculum. Each year, we focus on specific values, qualities, and attitudes that align with the qualities of a LAMWOOER. Moral education is integrated into various aspects of school life, including form teacher periods, form assemblies, and school assemblies. The Moral and Civic Education Section promotes politeness, classroom cleanliness, civic-mindedness, and self-management skills. We also organise activities related to national and civic education, such as the Flag Raising Ceremony on National Day, exhibitions, talks, forums, and inter-class and joint-school quizzes. |
| life_planning_education | To nurture students with a positive psychological state that facilitates their flourishing in life, we assist junior form students in exploring their interests, abilities, and the relationship between their personality and potential occupations. This helps them make informed decisions regarding subject selection in the senior forms and develop a preliminary understanding of career planning and management. In the senior forms, we aim to enrich students' learning experiences in career planning through various activities, including talks, workshops, visits, and work experience programmes. These initiatives help students understand the importance of career planning and enable them to set appropriate learning and career goals. To continuously improve our career education, we adopt a whole-school participation approach. We collaborate with partners and stakeholders to implement a comprehensive career planning and life skills education curriculum. Government subsidies are utilized to hire additional teachers, reducing the workload of career teachers and senior form form teachers. This allows them to dedicate more time to in-depth career counseling and further enhance the career education curriculum. We also strive to provide students with work-related experiences. Through different learning modes, we help students at all levels enhance their understanding of the world of work and improve their employability. We encourage students to take an active role in personal planning and to consider the direction of their future career development. |

For students in S.2 and S.3, we adopt ability grouping by offering advanced classes in English and Mathematics, as well as remedial classes in Chinese, English, and Mathematics. Additionally, we provide enrichment courses and study groups after school to cater to varying learning abilities and fully unleash students' potential. Apart from these measures, our teachers actively explore and implement diverse teaching strategies to accommodate learning differences within the classroom. A Student Support Team has been established to support students with special educational needs. To address learner diversity, the senior forms have split the four classes into five, allowing for more individual attention, support, and increased opportunities for student interaction. In the non-academic aspect, our school has formed a dedicated team to develop policies that support students' physical, mental, and social well-being. We place special emphasis on cultivating students' healthy habits, positive attitudes and values, life skills, and methods to resist temptation. |

| school_ethos | The School Ethos is established based on the teachings of the Holy Scriptures. Our students embody traits of modesty, self-discipline, and a strong desire to learn.
