Medium of Instruction & Curriculum

English 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: The schooladopts English as the major medium of instruction (please refer to the subjects offered in 2025-26 and 2026-27 for details), including teaching Performing Arts in English, setting up the English Self-Access Learning Center and recruiting English Ambassadors, training on English debate and public speaking. Apart from emphasizing English, we strive for boosting students' competence in biliteracy and trilingualism through making Putonghua as a compulsory subject in the junior form, establishing the Putonghua & Chinese Language Learning Centre, recruiting Putonghua ambassadors, etc.

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.
