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: The medium of instruction for Form 1 to Form 3 is Chinese with an emphasis on their ability to be bi-literate and tri-lingual. Apart from classroom learning, the school's native English teacher runs a variety of games and activities outside the classroom to enhance students' speaking and listening skills. In order to increase students' exposure to English, there are also Extended Learning Activities (ELAs) for all subjects, exclusive of Chinese, Putonghua and Chinese History, in junior forms. Interactive games are designed to help consolidate their learning and maximize their opportunities to use 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.
