Teaching Language Policy: We offer both English and Chinese as the medium of instructions. For some classes, students from Mainland and students from ethnic groups will be mixed together in a class, in order to enhance interaction between the two. For Chinese students whose English proficiency is outstanding, they will be offered a choice to use English as the medium of instruction for some subjects while the same for the ethnic minority groups.

As a Direct Subsidy Scheme (DSS) school that does not participate in the Secondary School Places Allocation (SSPA) System, the school manages its Secondary One admissions independently. Parents should apply directly to the school and refer to its official website for application dates, admission criteria, required documents and interview arrangements. Applicants are not restricted by school net. Parents who accept an offer from the school will be required to complete the relevant confirmation procedures and give up any subsidised Secondary One place available through the SSPA System.
