Teaching Language Policy: There are four classes in each of S.1 to S.3. Some classes adopt English as the medium of instruction, while the other classes adopt both Chinese and English as the medium of instruction. All S.1 and S.2 students use English as the medium of instructions in Science and STEAM in order to enhance students' English proficiency.

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	40	8	76	8	132
2021	40	8	76	8	132
2022	40	8	76	8	132
2023	40	8	76	8	132
2024	40	8	76	8	132
2025	40	8	76	8	132
2026	40	8	76	8	132

Note: SSPA-related figures were obtained from the EDB in December and in April of each year.
