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: Cantonese has been adopted as the medium of instruction. The school has hired a Native English Teacher (NET) to support students' English language learning. The school is committed to implementing its 'Biliteracy and Trilingualism' policy through designing a school-based curriculum, undertaking cross-disciplinary collaboration, competing in English debates, competing in the Speech Festival and running Putonghua activities. English Enhancement Classes, English Remedial Classes, and English Speaking Classes are frequently run to polish up students' proficiency levels. English morning assemblies are held on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
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 | 8 | 76 | 8 | 132 |
| 2021 | 40 | 8 | 76 | 8 | 132 |
| 2022 | 30 | 6 | 57 | 6 | 99 |
| 2023 | 30 | 6 | 57 | 6 | 99 |
| 2024 | 30 | 6 | 57 | 6 | 99 |
| 2025 | 30 | 6 | 57 | 6 | 99 |
| 2026 | 30 | 6 | 57 | 6 | 99 |
Note: SSPA-related figures were obtained from the EDB in December and in April of each year.
School Fees
This is an aided school, the most common type of secondary school in Hong Kong. Aided schools account for approximately 76% of all secondary schools and receive government funding to provide free secondary education. No school fee is charged. By comparison, around 12% are DSS schools, 6% are government schools, and 5% are private schools. Only DSS and private schools generally charge school fees.
