Teaching Language Policy: English is adopted as the main medium of instruction. All forms have implemented school-based cross-curriculum learning. A school-based speaking curriculum enhances English learning and value education for all F.1-F.2 classes. To create an environment conducive to English learning, activities such as drama, musical, English Debating, Talent show are held. Our students actively participated in English Solo Verse Speaking, Public Speaking, Drama and Debating Competitions, achieving remarkable results.
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 | 43 | 7 | 86 | 8 | 144 |
