Medium of Instruction & Curriculum

Chinese is the primary Medium of Instruction (MOI).

Curriculum: Secondary education comprises three years of junior secondary and three years of senior secondary education leading to the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education (HKDSE) Examination.

Teaching Language Policy: The schoolemphasizes the enhancement of students' biliterate and trilingual abilities. We adopt mother tongue education at junior levels. To elevate students' proficiency in English, extended learning activities in English are arranged for a majority of subjects since S.1. At senior secondary levels, students are streamed based on their abilities and students from some classes can choose to use English for the study of elective subjects.

School Fees

This is a government school operated and funded directly by the Education Bureau. Government schools account for approximately 6% of all secondary schools in Hong Kong and provide free secondary education. No school fee is charged. Among the other school types, around 76% are aided schools, 12% are DSS schools, and 5% are private schools. Only DSS and private schools generally charge school fees.
