Key Features of Our English Language Curriculum

Developing School-based Learning Materials

The focus on ‘Effective English teaching and learning’ has consistently been a priority for us. Our school takes part in the School-based Curriculum Development Support Service provided by the Education Bureau. As part of this initiative, we have created an extensive suite of school-based materials tailored to enhance students' learning experiences and address learner diversity.

Implementing Space Town Literacy Programme

The Space Town program offers our students the opportunity to participate in four interactive lessons with the Native English Teacher (NET) in the English Room, as well as additional General English (GE) lessons with the Local English Teacher (LET) in the classroom each week. This thorough and engaging learning environment is designed to improve our students' English skills and inspire their enthusiasm for language learning.

Learn with Fun Sessions

Our Learn with Fun sessions are engaging and enjoyable, offering a wide range of activities that capture students' interest. We incorporate interactive games, hands-on experiments, inter-class competitions, and fashion shows to make learning a delightful experience for everyone.
