Teaching Language Policy: The main points are as follows: 1. We endeavor to strengthen the biliterate and trilingual skills of our students. 2. Our Singapore culture exchange and leadership study tour has built up confidence and has nurtured English skills among students. 3. Small-class teaching has been conducted in junior English language lessons so that students have more opportunity for individualized attention. 4. We organize a wide variety of activities, including English Garden, Western Breakfast, English Week, English game stalls, film appreciation and English cultural exchange 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.

Year	DP	CA:A	CA:B	Resv	Total
2020	30	6	57	6	99
2021	30	6	57	6	99
2022	30	6	57	6	99
2023	30	6	57	6	99
2024	30	6	57	6	99
2025	30	6	57	6	99
