Administration Munsang College is a non-profit private institution run by the College Council. The Hong Kong Government accorded the Secondary Section of the College the status of an “aided” school in 1978. The Principal is appointed by the College Council and approved by the Government of Hong Kong. The Council is a self-perpetuating body incorporated under a Hong Kong Government Ordinance. The College Supervisor is elected from among its members annually. The Council gives policy advice and general guidance to the school. Student Support Services The Student Affairs Office is responsible for the provision of “Student Support Services”. The Discipline Committee implements various measures to train students to be well-behaved and to foster their sense of responsibility. The Counseling Committee and the school social workers closely cooperate with the community to help students in need and to hold various counseling activities, talks and growth development services. The Careers Committee offers students lots of career-related information and talks. Through the Student Association, six houses, and clubs and societies, the Co-curricular Activity Committee helps developing students' organization and leadership skills. To cater for students with special educational needs (SEN), the medical history of students is collected in the beginning of the school year. The students with SEN are identified and followed by the working committees and school social workers. Referrals are made to the Educational Psychologist of the Education Bureau (EDB) when necessary. Cross-disciplinary case conferences are held with the Educational Psychologist accordingly. With the Learning Support Grant of 2012 – 2013, teaching assistants were hired to provide additional support to the students. A workshop for developing studnts’ executive skills was held in May and June 2013 with the assistance of the Educational Psychologist of the EDB. Co-curricular Activities Students are encouraged to participate in various co-curricular activities intended to build character and develop personality. It is also in this belief that Munsang College places special attention on religious activities such as Christian fellowship meetings, Monday prayer, devotional and bible classes, etc. Other 4 activities include basketball, football, badminton, volleyball, tennis, fencing, field training, swimming, gymnastics, dance class, orchestra, choir and so forth. There are clubs for art, drama, and debate as well as clubs for the academic subjects such as English Language and Fench and Mathematics. Students take part in Scouts & Guides activities, Boy Scouts, Girl Guides, St. John Ambulance Brigade Cadets and St. John Nursing Cadets. Munsang College believes that platform for students to organize various large scale activities could develop their leadership potential and the heart of service. Student Association is responsible for organizing the annual singing contest, teacher-student tournament, basketball and football competition, the themetic activity of the year and so forth. The six Houses also lead their fellow members to compete in numerous inter-house activities. In the post-exam period, the senior form students would organize a carnival-like activity, Fun Day, for the junior form students to enjoy, relax and have fun. Service tour to different parts in Mainland China provides a platform for students to show their love and care to the needy. Teams are organized to take part in inter-school science exhibitions, computer activities, athletics meets, swimming competitions, music festivals, speech festivals and the like. 5 Curricula While a unified curriculum was offered to students of Form One to Form Three, the New Senior Secondary (NSS) has been in place for the Form Four students, with English Language, Chinese Language, Mathematics and Liberal Studies being the 4 core subjects.

Teacher feedback Committee members preferred to contact the head directly. It was not easy to arrange regular meetings among the head and deputy heads. It was suggested to hold meetings during morning assemblies and reading period. Various communication channels were used this year, e.g. WhatsApp group for committee members, emails, etc. Teacher feedback An end-of-year evaluation meeting was conducted to discuss and review the existing committee works. It was agreed to cancel the F.1 leadership training workshop and reduce the number of workshops of NSS service training. Student feedback Teacher feedback The setup of CCA iPort was completed on schedule. TICs were suggested to update the CCA iPort content regularly. More different types of content could be included in the CCA iPort, e.g. activity photos, external competition poster, meeting schedules, etc. Information was disseminated effectively through CCA iPort.

It was proposed to setup a new MSC portal to cater for all activities (Academic and CCA) in the year 2013-14. Some CCA groups started to promote their activities through email, e.g. Beacon, House, Student Association, EASE, etc). Librarian, Moral & National Education, EASE tended to use the digital signage as a medium of information dissemination. The content and structure for the renewal of the school homepage were discussed and drafted in the second term. Due to the busy workload of the committee members, the renewal of the school homepage work would be postponed. Committee members were instructed to well file the photos, videos and the information related to the activities. Regarding the Student Association, a joint-school event called “City Tracing” was organized with three other schools: SKH Lam Woo Memorial Secondary School, TWGHs Wong Fut Nam College and United Christian College. The event was co-organised with the Liberal Studies Society of our school. The event was well received by students.

It was a teacher-student tournament. Again, positive feedback was received from students and teachers. House Captains and Vice Captains learnt to be effective event organizers apart from leaders of their own house. The leader lists of Student Association and Houses were compiled and posted in the school homepage. It was suggested to post the list in the school in the coming year. Four inter-house events, including inter-house football competition, inter-house basketball competition, inter-house chess competition, and inter-house quiz, were organized and successfully held by the Joint-house Committee. Non-sports items, including inter-house chess competition, library article reading scheme, and outstanding academic performance, were added into the house score calculation method. Students who are not strong at sports could also contribute to their houses through taking part in non-sports items. As requested, TICs submitted the records (with photos of awardees) to be included in the yearbook and displayed on the school homepage within two weeks. Revised template was put in the server for TICs’ reference. The processing time was shortened. Monthly reminders were sent out through eClass. The situation was improving. CCA portal was checked but some records could not be found. Some certificates or trophies were received late.

This was largely due to a reduced number of classes from 37 to 34. In addition, the calculation of service hours and credit points, particularly for NSS service training was refined (i.e. fixed at 15 hours only). The number of students rewarded with gold and silver awards also decreased from 308 to 261 (18%). Record books were collected twice this academic year in December 2012 and June 2013. Support was sought from students in compiling the annual statistical report in the second term. The efficiency of the process was greatly improved. The details of the Scheme was refined and attached in the Student and Parent Handbook 2013/14. F.5 Three workshops and one service day (carnival with our Kindergarten) were arranged. Most of the students obtained 11 hours for service-related training. Positive feedback from the Kindergarten was received. It was suggested to have a whole-day service instead of half-day. F.4 One day camp, three workshops and one service day were arranged. Most of the students obtained more than 21 hours for service-related training. Students were very busy with various school events. It was not easy for them to spend time on the planning and service. The benefited parties gave feedback and claimed that our students were well-behaved with whole-hearted devotion to the society. It was proposed to cancel the day camp next year. A total of 117 student volunteers were recruited for Lok Chi Association Limited, Families of SMA Charitable Trust and Oxfam etc. Objectives Engage students in learning of arts in authentic contexts Strategies Time Scale Evaluation Methods Success Criteria / Activities organizations Better use of bulletin board and coordination of the recruitment Develop an atmosphere to serve the community, in which students would participate in voluntary works actively More than 200 students participate in flag selling Evaluation A dedicated bulletin board was used to post the information about volunteer recruitment.

Promotion about the intrinsic value of flag selling might help the students to understand the real meaning of flag selling. The F.3 students were very busy with the adaptation to new subjects and the preparation for choice of electives in F.4, it was difficult to motivate and encourage them to participate in volunteer service. It was suggested to have a more organized way to recruit volunteers to participate in charitable activities. Indeed flag selling is a simple and effective way for them to learn to serve the society. Two blood donation days were arranged four months apart, resulting in a higher participation rate. There were 124 donors in total. Some students showed their enthusiasm toward this activity and gave blood in both blood donation days. The decreasing number of donors were caused by: - Absence of the F.7 students (In the previous years, F.7 students were the major donors.) - Clash of other activities (such as sports and production of video for graduation classes) Promotional video, poster, pamphlets, invitation by class teachers, participation of principal and teacher donors, etc, contributed to the success of the blood donation activity.

Ms. Wong HY and Mr. Lee KL (Primary school) would help to recruit participants. An overseas service training program was suggested in the year 2013-14. Having joined a Chinese drama show, students were reminded to treasure the chance to appreciate different drama shows, both in Chinese and English. Students were encouraged to write their own script and to perform in the Hong Kong School Drama Festival 2012/13 and public performance at school. The following awards were obtained in Hong Kong School Drama Festival 2012/13 - Award for Outstanding Actor (Two students) - Award for Outstanding Cooperation The success of performance of this year was due to the grant from the school and the Drama Festival, supports from the experienced senior members, professional coach and self-disciplined members. A few master-classes were held throughout the year. Two music concerts were arranged for students. Eighty students were given free tickets to attend the concert in October. Sixty students and parents were given free tickets to attend the other in May.

Class teachers knew their students more in the activities. Area for improvement The programme was quite expensive. Each student needed to pay around $280. Some parents queried the effectiveness of the programme. The cost of the service should be considered in future. The programme was a bit harsh. More information should be given to get the participating students ready.

Students’ participation in the lesson Students’ Reflection Questionnaires (Students & Class teachers) 69 Evaluation students’ communication skills. The presentations were generally creative and fluent, while some of the boards displayed excellent creativity. Area for improvement The manpower could be reduced as some of the GPs really had nothing to do during the presentation process. Communication with VA department could be enhanced to ensure the students had enough time for designing the boards. Strengths The GPs collected 4 small boxes of stationery from their schoolmates and donated it to the Salvation Army. Area for improvement The activity was not well promoted enough to junior formers, resulting in insufficient participants from junior form. Strengths Most of the students gave positive feedback for life education. Over 120 students gave 4 marks or above out of 5 marks for the overview of life education. Students learnt the four topics deeply and the knowledge is useful for them. Among the four topics, students thought that “social” was the most interesting one as it could help them know how to choose a “friend” correctly. Area for improvement Although all the four topics were useful and related to their lives, it was not interesting enough. It is suggested that more videos, talks and cases for teaching could be used. The teaching time was not enough. Objectives Sex Education To learn how to get along with others of opposite gender.

All GPs should be assigned to offer help to F.1 students who need help for adaptation. Students show active listening during the assemblies. Students’ performance during the assembly Strengths The talk “Ladies and Gentlemen” was attractive and suited the need of students because all speakers were teachers. Area for improvement The topic “Cyber Bullying” was not good. The topic can be rephrased as “Healthy Use of Internet”. Students make friends in their classes. Students develop positive learning attitude. Students can express their feelings to the teachers. Students can seek help when needed. Observation by class teachers Academic results after exams. Strength The activity provided a platform for repeaters to voice their difficulties and joy in their study. Area for improvement F.3-5 repeaters were reluctant to share in the group of different classes. It is suggested to have small group sharing after first lunch meeting. Strengths It was good to provide guidance to the students getting the results of public examination. It was good for F.6 subject teachers to provide guidance. 71 Observation from class teachers.

Active parent participation Parents are willing to understand and try. Strategies Case Work Parents’ work To enhance communication among school, teachers and parents 72 Feedback from teachers and parents Feedback from parents Evaluation Strengths It was good to have a clear list of students with special needs. Area for improvement It was difficult to build up the relationship if counselling teachers did not teach the student before. Strengths The activity could improve the communication between school and parents. Area for improvement More coordination between students’ session and parents’ session should be needed so that both sessions could end at the same time. Strengths It was good for parent to have a clear picture on student’s academic performance before the examination. Area for improvement The talk did not suit the need of parents. Strengths The contents were practical to parents. It was good to have sharing sessions for parents to exchange their experiences. Area for improvement The venue was too small for sharing activities. Discipline Committee On the whole, students were very well-behaved and self-disciplined. They were well-mannered. Only occasionally were they late to school and forgot to bring/submit assignments and reply slips. Violation records were still acceptable, mainly related to school uniform regulations or regulations of hair style and accessories. Major offences were uncommon. Details are as follows. 1. This year there were not that many cases of bullying and cyber-bullying as compared to the previous academic year. The situation was relatively more serious in F.1. A number of students were academically weaker, with short concentration span. They attempted to play tricks with classmates first. If the situation was not under fine control, serious consequences could be unavoidable. Attempts were made to negotiate with different parties and the parents concerned. The Hong Kong Police Force was also invited to deliver theme talks to students for prevention of disciplinary problems. Counselling Committee, school social workers and NGOs were engaged to follow students’ misbehaviour and value judgement. 2. In the year ahead, more effort is needed to instil in students a sense of integrity as more cases of cheating in dictations and daily quizzes were reported. In each case, students concerned were interviewed and they showed regret about their misconduct. Precautionary measures including talks during school assemblies had been arranged accordingly. 3. This was the third year for discipline teachers to station at the Main Entrance of the school every morning (before 7:55 am) and afternoon (before 1:45 pm) to check students’ punctuality. The issue related to minor lateness was improved. Habitual latecomers were identified, interviewed and their parents were informed or interviewed. 4. Strong collaboration between Discipline Committee and the Police, Counselling Committee and class teachers is still necessary. Special talks are to be arranged for students, including issues related to bullying and sex education. Besides, more video clips have to be uploaded onto the Campus TV to remind students of the examination regulations and the correct procedure in presenting student card to the card readers for attendance. 5. In the coming academic year, there will be further collaboration between Discipline Committee and other departments and committees. There will also be more collaboration between the College and the Primary School. Counselling Committee will implement Value Education for F.1 classes in morning assemblies. Religious Committee and Counselling Committee will work together for the moral-related issues and to raise students’ moral standard. It is hoped to cultivate in students a more positive value judgment. Besides, F.1 and F.2 Home Economics will foster students’ self-management and self-discipline. 73 The table below shows the evaluation of various activities held by the Discipline Committee and Prefect Association. Objectives Strategies Green Education Classroom cleanliness will be Keep Classroom assessed by the prefects during Clean Campaign lunch time. A score chart of the whole school will be published half-yearly. The three classes with the lowest score and having scores less than 70% of the full mark will be invited to clean classrooms or perform special duties.

Items that can be cleared include no/late submission of assignment, minor lateness F.1-F.6 Whole year Over 400 applications Over 30% of successful records of clearance The number of applications and the rate of successful records of clearance 74 Evaluation Students-on-duty did not perform their duties well. In many cases, the blackboards were not cleaned before lunch. The rubbish bins were fully filled with lunch boxes etc. and the trash was not disposed of properly. Many students put their own belongings on the floor to make the classroom in a mess. Further strategies will be implemented to relieve the situation. Classroom cleanliness will be monitored more closely and reflected to class teachers for further action in the coming academic year. Only 5 printed were prepared for each conduct meeting. Non-teaching staff helped the preparation of pdf and electronic devices for the smooth running of conduct meetings. On the whole, class teachers and subject teachers did welcome this new policy. There were 416 applications in first term, while 274 in second term. 362 records were cleared in first term. The success rate was around 87%. In the second term, 231 records were cleared, which corresponded to 84% success rate. Success rates were slightly Objectives Maintaining Students’ Punctuality Strategies (within 30 minutes), violation of school uniform regulations, and violation of hair style regulations.

Precautionary or remedial measures will be given to help rehabilitation. Target Group Time Scale Success Criteria Evaluation Methods Evaluation dropped as compared to previous academic year. F.1-F.6 Whole year Less record of lateness as compared to the previous academic year Over 30% of the habitual latecomers and frequent absentees show improvement. 75 The number of lateness and suspected absence record The number of lateness cases showed a drop from 1176 to 1046 in first term, and a rise from 666 to 775 in second term. For the habitual latecomers, some of them had various psychological and physiological reasons. Students concerned and their parents were interviewed. Recommendations were worked out with all stakeholders concerned to check if the situation could be improved.

Teachers’ observation Feedback from coach Teachers from DC, CC and School Social Workers Over 70% of the newly-appointed teachers show the orientation is a relevant and resourceful one. 76 Evaluation Feedback was very positive and most, if not all, found that case study benefited their understanding of our students. The strengths and areas for improvement of our students were mentioned in the orientation. Very encouraging responses were received, not only from the class teachers, but also the school social workers and teachers from both DC and CC. The sharing session was very informative and lots of ideas/ways to deal with students’ disciplinary and/or emotional problems had been shared. Newly-admitted students were motivated to seek assistance and clarification during the orientation. Few passive students were left behind for individual discussion as they could not adapt well to the new environment and found meeting new schoolmates difficult. On the whole, most students were well behaved. Few students could not stick to the instructions provided by the coach and they were punished. Many felt that the program was quite demanding, especially the weather was hot and sunny.

Students enhanced their vocabulary which is extremely useful for the Liberal Studies subject. Students also made watching English news a habit and the vocabulary and phrases they learnt are extremely useful for the Liberal Studies subject. Students could be able to improve their language skills in different papers through doing Online Program regularly and consistently. Students could benefit from the skills passed on from the high achievers and they could ask questions related to the English exams. The Digest was well received and some teachers responded to the topics. This helped both students and teachers to enrich their vocabulary and is extremely helpful for the students. Club members had heated debate clashes and audience attended to their debating skills and teachers’ comment. This could help boost students’ confidence level and they could practise with those they were not so familiar with.
