Language policy

Our school fosters an English learning environment by organizing Western festival celebrations, English drama and debate training, and overseas exchange programs to London, Scotland, and Singapore. This helps students transition smoothly between junior and senior secondary curricula. The native English teacher (NET) conducts enrichment classes in the junior forms and oral classes in F.4 and F.5 to help students improve their speaking and listening skills. A wide variety of lunchtime English-learning activities are organized by the NET to arouse students’ interest in learning English. To promote self-directed learning, the school has designed a school-based online English platform where students have access to the English vocabulary items they have acquired in various subjects and their correct pronunciation. The school has also created an atmosphere conducive to learning English. For example, English is used in morning assemblies, and English videos or TV programs are shown on TVs on the school campus during lunch time. Moreover, a time slot in the morning is allotted to reading English materials. Furthermore, the “Job-Hunting Experience” helps students acquire essential job skills like interviewing and resume writing. Our teachers have been presented with the Chief Executive’s Award for Teaching Excellence in recognition of outstanding performance in English language teaching and Language across the Curriculum (LAC). Our school has adopted a “whole-school approach” to implementing LAC. Students understand the importance of learning English across different subjects through cross-curricular writing and LAC class drama presentation. A school-based LAC vocabulary logbook has been designed to help students acquire vocabulary and phrases from various subjects in a more systematic way. There are split classes for Chinese, English and Mathematics in order to enhance teaching and learning effectiveness. Students are grouped according to their abilities.
