Life Education

The Life Education Programme is specially designed for junior form students. Led by form teachers and professionals in related fields, the Programme helps to enhance students’ physical and mental strengths, improve their critical thinking and social skills, and cultivate a positive value and attitude. The topics include developing self-image and emotions, communication skills, sex and moral education, and guidance in goal-setting and subject selection for careers. The broad coverage of topics helps prepare students to be all-rounded citizens.

Studies in Social Milieu

In today’s ever-changing society, youngsters need to have an awareness and knowledge of social affairs. In “Studies in Social Milieu”, we aim to enhance students’ understanding and attitude towards the social phenomena around them and to help them cultivate personal values and an international outlook. Class discussions and social surveys are conducted in this group to critically examine and provide opportunities to comment on our society. At the same time, students can exercise high-order thinking skills and practice various self-learning skills within authentic social contexts, preparing them for the Liberal Studies in the New Senior Secondary curriculum.

School Facilities

All classrooms and special rooms are air-conditioned. There are altogether two multi-media computer rooms equipped with PCs and iMac computers. These rich resources allow students to use different educational software on different computer platforms. Students are taught to make good use of the computers for their studies.

FirstClass, a popular intranet system in American schools, has been installed as a network for internal communication. Each student is assigned an account through which information can be exchanged more reliably and efficiently. This service is also extended to interested parents.
