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: 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.

Secondary One Admission

The Secondary School Places Allocation (SSPA) System is Hong Kong's official mechanism for distributing subsidized Secondary One places to primary school graduates. The allocation operates in two distinct, consecutive phases. First, the Discretionary Places (DP) stage allows students to apply directly to individual schools based on academic and interview merits. Second, remaining places are funneled into the Central Allocation (CA) stage, which is subdivided into Part A (unrestricted, territory-wide choices) and Part B (restricted, district-based choices). The table below summarises past years’ allocation figures, including DP places, Central Allocation Part A and Part B places, reserved places, and total places.

Year	DP	CA:A	CA:B	Resv	Total
2020	30	6	57	6	99
2021	30	6	57	6	99
2022	30	6	57	6	99
2023	30	6	57	6	99
2024	30	6	57	6	99
2025	30	6	57	6	99
