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: Some students from each form, S.1 to S.3, are learning Mathematics and Science in the medium of English, so as to interface the learning needs of senior and university curriculum. All subjects that adopted English as the medium of instruction must have textbooks, assignments and student assessments in English. To nurture students' communication and critical-thinking skills, most of the subjects will adopt Chinese as the medium of instruction but with English vocabulary items and unit summaries.
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 | 6 | 56 | 8 | 132 |
| 2021 | 40 | 7 | 61 | 8 | 132 |
| 2022 | 40 | 7 | 60 | 8 | 132 |
