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: Junior secondary levels: The medium of instruction of some classes is mainly English. As for Mathematics and Integrated Science, English is adopted as the medium of teaching. In light of increasing students' exposure to Native English, the Native-speaking English Teacher (NET) conducts listening or speaking practice with students every week. Senior secondary levels: The nature of the subjects, students' language abilities and their needs for further studies are considered when we arrange students into different subjects or groups using English or mother-tongue in teaching. We arrange split classes in English lessons to cater for learners' diversity.

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.
