The school has been actively promoting quality education by realizing the spirit of Jesus Christ on school ethos, policy and measures. Since the implementation of School Management Initiative in 1992, the school has been drawing up plans according to the school administration cycle. Representatives of teachers, parents, alumni and local community are among the school managers.

The school recognizes the importance of all-round education. As early as 2001, the school took initiative to replace the traditional report card with Student Profile as a record of student performance in all aspects. Apart from “academic attainment”, performance on “extra-curricular reading”, “project learning”, etc is recorded separately; the single assessment on conduct has been replaced by assessment on the following 9 attributes in 3 aspects:

To fully understand the development of students, the school keeps a systematic record of students’ non-academic attainment. Such record is a useful guide for future career development.

To tie in with the Student Profile, the school runs a ‘My-ile’ personal growth scheme to let students set their own goals, draw up plans and monitor their own progress. After the examination and before handing out the Student Profile, the Form teacher and Assistant Form teacher meet students one by one to review their progress on ‘quality’ and ’study’. The plan will then be revised before a meeting with parents is held.Through formal curriculum, integrated curriculum and hidden curriculum, the school aims to foster a culture of aspiration, care and dedication.

The curriculum is so designed and arranged to ensure a diverse and well-balanced curriculum that meets the needs of the society.

The school received funding from the Government’s Quality Education Fund on a number of creative education projects. These include: Green School Campaign, Multi-media Language Lab, Chinese Orchestra, Western Orchestra, General Education on Chinese Medicine, Digital Music and Creative Art Workshop, Millennium Multi-media Classrooms, General Education on Chinese Medicine and Resource Centre, Campus TV . providing a platform for enhancing teaching effectiveness. With the support from the SAR Government, the Church and the community, the school has in recent years organized study tours to Beijing, Sichuan, Yunnan, Sanshui, Lianshan, Zhaoqing, Xian and Macau, Singapore as well as to Korea. To tie in with the objective of broadening horizons, the school has set up a student grant on overseas studies, so that all students have the opportunity to enrich their learning experience.

A number of seed programmes have been carried out in collaboration with the Curriculum Development Institute of EDB in recent years, with a view to introducing curriculum that enriches learning experience. A number of teachers have been seconded to EDB to take part in the development and optimization of the curriculum on Gifted Education, Science Education, History Education, Integrated Humanities and Liberal Studies. The curriculum so developed was implemented in the school and the experience applied to other schools in Hong Kong.

In addition, the curriculum on Integrated Humanities at HKCEE level has been implemented in the school since 2003. A number of electives are available at senior secondary level, and AS level subjects of Liberal Studies, Computer Application, Maths and Statistics are offered to broaden students. horizons.

Apart from general subjects, the school implemented a formal curriculum on Moral and Civic Education to nurture civic awareness among students. Culture experiential activities and reading day are organized from time to time. The school also set up the first Chinese Herbal Medicine Learning Center in Hong Kong to provide learning opportunities in Chinese herbal medicine. A curriculum of general education on Chinese Medicine is incorporated in regular classes in S2.

In 2002, the school was elected to be one of the twenty outstanding schools and a Resource School to share its experience with fellow schools in Hong Kong. Apart from 3-4 sharing sessions on different themes held every month, an open forum was held on 13 June 2003 and a journal was published. (Please visit the school website for details of the forum) Another Knowledge Fair will be held in November 2008 to celebrate our school’s 25th Anniversary and to serve as a platform to share our school-based curriculum projects with the other schools.

In 2006, the school was invited to be a pilot school under the Professional Development Scheme, School Support Partners Scheme, and Partnership for Improvement of Learning and Teaching project to further enhance quality education and share its experience with other schools.

In 2004, EMB conducted a comprehensive External School Review to the school. The assessment covered 14 items in 4 main areas, for which the school obtained gradings of “Excellent” or “Good”.
