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: Starting from the year 2010-2011, the school has implemented a school-based language policy. Lessons of major subjects are conducted in English in some junior classes while not more than 25% of the total lesson time of the remaining junior classes is allocated to English extended learning activities (ELA). We are devoted to creating an excellent language learning environment for students. Through multifarious co-curricular activities, we provide ample opportunities for students to reinforce their biliterate and trilingual ability in order to help them attain proficiency in both Chinese and English.
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 |
| 2021 | 43 | 7 | 86 | 8 | 144 |
| 2022 | 43 | 7 | 86 | 8 | 144 |
| 2023 | 43 | 7 | 86 | 8 | 144 |
| 2024 | 43 | 7 | 86 | 8 | 144 |
| 2025 | 43 | 7 | 86 | 8 | 144 |
| 2026 | 43 | 7 | 86 | 8 | 144 |
Note: SSPA-related figures were obtained from the EDB in December and in April of each year.
