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: Although the school uses Chinese as medium of instruction (CMI), we put a great emphasis on boosting students' English competence. We have been striving our best to develop a conducive English learning environment. The schoolincorporates Extended Learning Activities (ELA) in English into junior form curriculum in Mathematics, Citizenship, Economics and Society, Computer Literacy, Science, Geography, History, Physics, Chemistry and Biology. A combination of strategies has been adopted to promote ELA in the related teaching activities.

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.
