From the evaluation report, the majority found the summer remedial program was helpful to them. Their learning performance and learning attitudes in the course were satisfactory. Only two students failed in the tests at the end of the course. They were arranged to have a retest in early September and secure the promotion afterwards. Over 90% students found the Liberal Case exercise could help enhancing their writing ability. The skills learnt could formulate arguments of different perspectives into concrete structure. Most participants were able to explore more knowledge and get insights in the workshop. They were able to write up the issue into essay form in a stepwise approach. Hence, this kind of workshops will also be organized for F.4 and F.5 students in the next school year. Reading in the School library The total number of books read by all students was 17,628. On average, each class read 463.9 items and each student read 14 items in this year. A F.2C student read the most number of books, i.e. 242 items. For F.1 to F.3 students, Chinese items (including books, multimedia materials and magazines, etc.) were read 5638 times and English items (including books, multimedia materials and magazines, etc.) were read 4775 times this year.

The most active classes in borrowing reading materials from the school library were 2A, 1A and 1B. Reading English materials To further enhance students’ English level, the school library increased the English collections, multimedia collection and adopted new policies in the Reading Award Scheme in these two years. Compared with the recent four academic years, we found that more students borrowed English materials such as subject reference books, novels and English multimedia materials. In this year, on average, each student borrowed 4 English items from the school library. According to the Reading Award Scheme record, students read more English materials (increased by 4.75%) compared with the last academic year.

In this year our main tasks are exposing students to the real world by way of life planning that is conducive to coping with their lives in the years to come. Given the support of the school authority, the Parent and Teacher Association, the Alumni Association, the Junior Achievement Hong Kong and China Light & Power - the Partnering Program by Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce, we have witnessed growth and progress. In order to help students grow in life learning in different arenas, Careers Committee offered a wide range of OLE activities for junior and senior forms. The focus was on experience sharing that enlarged their scope and enriched their experience. A case in point was the ‘Mentorship Programme’ for F6 that showed an overwhelming majority in terms of numbers. In the process both the mentors and mentees displayed an amicable relationship. Concerning to life planning ‘Career Day for F.1 & F.2’ and the ‘New Leaders Programme’ for F1 to F6 were equally popular. The feedbacks of the students were positive. They affirmed such exercises as they facilitated life planning and enlightened them on ethical issues. In a similar vein, ‘JA Goal For Youth’ served as an eye opener for participants who benefited greatly from self -exploration and discovery. Through such activities students were made fully aware of the significance of early life planning. The outcome was made more gratifying by the selfless work done by volunteers who not only served well as facilitators but also offered a rich source of inspirations. Activities such as ‘The Company Programme’ and ‘It’s My Business’ were offered by the Junior Achievement Hong Kong with a view to giving students real experiences of the financial world. With concerted efforts by our JA Company T-Dogee, the following achievements were made which boost their leadership qualities, morale and team spirit: 1. Corporate Social Responsibility Award (CSR) 2. Individual Award of Most Valuable Team Player (Lai Hoi-yan, F.6A) 3. Merit Prize on Outstanding Booth Design 4. Tung Kit-ho (F.6A) shortlisted as one of three finalists of IT Director of the Year. The areas of job skills and self-evaluation were not left untouched. ‘JA Success Skills Workshop’ endowed them with job search skills and time management. Participants were given a chance to evaluate themselves in terms of their aptitude and abilities. The feedbacks from participating company, Goldman Sachs, were very encouraging. To enhance our students’ global vision, we also extended international connection with University of Melbourne. To upgrade students’ leadership skills ‘Young Power Programme’ was put in place, which efficiently triggered off their creativity, team work and leadership skills. Ultimately they cherished higher aspirations for their future careers. The installation of Careers Ambassadors provided a platform to tap their leadership potential. The provision of careers development tool - Career Interest Inventory (CII) also helped the ambassadors in their self-exploration and assessment. The Careers Committee concluded the year’s activities with the ‘Careers Programme Sharing’ in morning assembly and a Medical Expedition Sharing by Harmony To Hau-man. As a point of reference the School Major Concern has guided our planning well and helped our efforts to come to fruition. The Careers Committee will persistently pursue our goals: organizing a variety of programmes, workshops, visits, seminars and the like. In so doing students gain sufficient exposure to different environments and possibilities through which they are enlightened on their interest, potential and abilities. They are also empowered and emboldened to further their education and careers. In such a way, they can charter their career paths ahead of them. - 43 - Activities Held: Activities & Competition Participants Expected Outcome Mentorship Program F.6 Students would be able to venture a wider life exposure and experience through alumnus mentors.

There were more than thirty F.3 students showing interest. After interview, ten F.3 students were chosen as new CEAs. Besides, some F.5 students and F.6 students joined the team and they were all experienced CEAs. F.6B Tsui Hoi Ting and F.5E Hui Fu Wing were selected as the Heads of Cultural Exchange Ambassadors respectively. The Cultural Exchange Ambassadors were responsible for helping AFS exchange students to adapt to the new school life. On 26 August 2010, an orientation was arranged for the exchange students. Moreover, the ambassadors introduced the exchange students and their home countries to all our students in the morning assembly on 13 October 2010 and 15 October 2010. The ambassadors helped to organize lots of cultural exchange activities in school. They helped to promote the one-year sending program in October 2010 and organized the Cultural Exchange Fair on 13 May 2011. The ambassadors also helped to organize the Local Exchange Program in November 2010 and April 2011. They helped the exchange students to adapt to the new environment and arranged a lot of programs for them. Meanwhile, some ambassadors were chosen as the representatives of the school to study in the partner school during the exchange program. They also received teachers and students from Mainland China for cultural exchange purposes. The ambassadors assisted teachers to update the official Homepage of the Cultural Exchange Committee, which was launched in May 2005. From their self-evaluation, ambassadors agreed that their horizons were widened. They learnt to be confident, responsible and independent. 2. AFS Exchange Students Hosting an exchange student allows our students to benefit tremendously from exposure and interaction with a student from another culture. This year, we hosted one AFS exchange student. He was Erno Antero Snellman from Finland. He was allocated to F.6C. He was arranged to take different subjects in different forms. During the academic year, he gave broadcasting programs to all students. The programs were conducted in October 2010, December 2010, February 2011 & April 2011. Thus, students knew more about his country. Before he left our school at the end of the exchange program, he gave us a farewell speech during the assembly on 25 May 2011. In his speech, he shared that he gained invaluable memories in our school. 3. One-year Sending Program Cultural Exchange Ambassadors promoted the One-year Sending program in the morning assembly to F.3 and F.4 students in October. Ms. Pun Mei Yi explained the details about the application and made contact with Mr. Thomas Wong, the Sending Program Director of AFS. Finally, F.3E Ho Tsz Wing had been selected by AFS as an exchange student to France in the coming academic year. 4. Local Exchange Programs Our school, Ying Wa Boys’ School and Ying Wing Girls’ School had jointly organized a Local Exchange Program in November 2010 and April 2011. During the program, a group of our F.4- F.6 students were selected to attend classes in our partner schools, while a group of their students came in exchange. The program was intended to enhance the students’ awareness of their surrounding and they experienced a different way of learning in a new environment. Moreover, they developed their skills in communicating with others. Besides broadening the horizons of our students, we hoped that students of three schools could experience the culture of other school and also establish a closer and friendly relationship with each other. 5. Cultural Exchange Fair 2011 It was held on 13 May 2011. AFS exchange students and CEAs led the activity. Besides our AFS exchange students, we invited three AFS exchange students from other schools to join our fair. They came from Austria, Holland and Czech Republic. AFS exchanges students introduced their cultures through playing their traditional games, - 72 - learning their language and tasting food. Through the fair, AFS exchange students introduced their cultures to our students.

They were well-behaved and well-mannered. Only occasionally would they be late to school and forgot to bring/submit assignments and reply slips. Violation records were acceptable, merely because of violations of school uniform regulations or regulations of hair style and its accessories. Major offences were uncommon. Details are as follows. 1. This year there was an increase in cases of bullying. The situation was more serious in junior secondary, particularly F.1 and F.2. Those students were academically weaker and their concentration span was quite short. They attempted to play tricks with classmates first. If the situations were not under fine control, serious consequences were observed. Discipline teachers needed to go into the classroom for investigation. On the other hand, Hong Kong Police Force was notified and their staff had made visits to school and talks had been arranged to individual students, classes and to all junior students during Hall Assemblies. Colleagues from Counseling Committee, School Social Workers and expertise from NGO were engaged to modify students misbehavior and their misbeliefs. 2. The year we needed to raise student’s sense of integrity as cases of cheating in dictations and daily quizzes have rose slightly. Precautionary measures including talks during school assemblies had been arranged seriously. The new measures implemented by HKEAA were introduced into our internal examinations immediately to familiarize students with the measures. Class teachers were asked to remind their students of the severity of truancy. 3. There were quite a number of truancy cases and most of them were related to students’ other disciplinary problems and their family problems. For an extreme case, parents and/or guardians of a student could not be reached due to shift nature of the job and finally the student agreed to withdraw. Colleagues from Counseling and Careers Committee showed joint effort on providing guidance to that student. 4. From this academic year, discipline teachers would be stationed 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 would be identified, interviewed and their parents were informed or interviewed. Appropriate remedial work would be provided. One student was asked to repeat her F.5 study as her attendance record did not allow her to take internal examination. 5. We suggest a closer collaboration of Discipline Committee with the Police, Counseling Committee and class teachers. Special talks were arranged for students, including issues related to bullying and sex education. Besides, video clips had been uploaded to the Campus TV to remind students of the correct procedure in presenting student card to the card readers to show attendance and etc. 6. In the coming academic year, there will be more collaboration of Discipline Committee with other departments and committees. There will be more collaboration among the Primary and Secondary Sections of the College. Life Education for F.2 classes will continue and will be conducted in class during morning assembly. We hope to cultivate in students a more positive value judgment. - 75 - The table below shows the evaluation of various activities held by the Discipline Committee and Prefect Association.

Besides, some activities and modification on the school campus were discussed to go in line with the School Major Concern of the coming years - green education. Staff Development Committee The committee coordinated matters and activities regarding professional development of teaching staff and in relation to the School Major Concern. The programs of the Staff Development Committee aimed at updating teachers’ professional knowledge and teaching skills. News and courses of staff professional development were provided to all teachers. Update resource materials on continuing education were collected and circulated among teachers concerned. The School Council also supported teacher to take courses related to their professional development and reimbursement of $800/year was provided to each teacher for attending courses. It was the second year of the new three-year cycle of Teachers’ Continuing Professional Development (CPD). Teachers spent not less than 150 hours on CPD in the cycle. With the CPD record, teachers could record personal continuing professional development systematically and plan for the future. Courses related to teacher’s academic and non-academic duties were the important elements of CPD. Moreover, attending courses related to NSS were important to our teachers. According to the CPD records, teachers attended lots of seminars related to New Senior Secondary Curriculum. Staff Development Days were arranged to facilitate activities related to the School Major Concern and to raise teachers’ awareness of curriculum reforms. The Staff Development Committee organized three school-based structured Staff Development Days on 18 January 2011, 9 May 2011 and 1 June 2011. To echo the school major concern, Ms. Merry Keung, the Senior Manager of Assessment Development (HKEAA) was invited to conduct a half-day seminar on 18 January 2011. Through the seminar, teachers developed a deeper understanding on Assessment for Learning. Moreover, the rationale of School-based Assessment was recognized. From the questionnaire, teachers agreed that they got a deeper understanding on ‘assessment for learning’. Moreover, their capability on assessing students through SBA was consolidated. In the afternoon session, a seminar arranged by the Language Across the Curriculum Committee was held. The title was ‘A 4-step Approach to Language Across the Curriculum’. Dr. Angel Lin, Associate Professor of Faculty of Education HKU, was invited as our speaker. Through her talk, teachers learnt how to use English to learn and to teach content subject. She also introduced the importance of understanding academic literacy genres in secondary education. Sharing strategies of teaching English across different content subjects was also done. The second Staff Development Day was held on 9 May 2011. A study tour to Guangzhou was arranged. Teachers visited schools in Guangzhou. During the visit, teachers of two places shared their teaching experience. In order to echo our major concern, teachers put focus on how mainland teachers apply assessment for learning in their teaching. Most of the teachers agreed that the tour helped them recognizing the teaching in mainland. It was a precious moment for teachers to share their experience. The third Staff Development Day was held on 1 June 2011. To consolidate teachers’ knowledge about OLE (Other Learning Experience), an intrinsic element in nurturing students into well-rounded pillars of our society, the speaker of this seminar, Mr. Stephen Yip Yam Wing, Chief Curriculum Development Officer of Life-wide Learning and Library Section, eloquently delivered an invaluable speech highlighting the gist of and rationale behind OLE in the current curriculum. As a continuum of the seminar in the morning session, Dr. Chui Yat Hung, Lecturer of Department of Applied Social Sciences from Hong Kong Polytechnic University, expounded the concept of life planning, centering his speech around the urgent need for students to structure their life roles for career and life planning. To assist new teachers to adapt to the new environment and realize their duties in our school, a New Teacher Orientation Day was arranged. It was held on 23 August 2010. Through the activity, new teachers got to know more about the school routines. In order to enable new teachers to know more about the Discipline Committee, an orientation program was also arranged on the same day. As indicated in the questionnaire, new teachers agreed that they have a preliminary picture of our school environment and the daily logistic arrangement after joining the orientation. Moreover, communication between the new teachers and our school was strengthened. - 96 - Staff Development Committee Programs (2010-2011) Date 23 August 2010 18 January 2011 (morning session) 18 January 2011 (afternoon session) 9 May 2011 Programs New Teacher Orientation Day (Staff Development Committee & Discipline Committee) Staff Development Day I Talk on AFL & SBA Staff Development Day I A 4-step Approach to Language Across the Curriculum Study Tour to Guangzhou Mainland 1 June 2011 (morning session) 1 June 2011 (morning session) 1 June 2011 (afternoon session) Staff Development Day III Talk on OLE (OLE: Is it necessary?)

Apart from the strategies of metacognitive skills and pre-lesson preparation, we have put more focus on ‘assessment for learning’ which was introduced this year as the school major concern. 1. 2. Enhancing teachers’ capability on incorporating peer assessment and / or self-assessment into their teaching through: a. Collaborative lesson preparation In F.3, collaborative lesson preparation sessions were conducted to help teachers prepare the school-based curriculum of Business and Economics. Through these sessions, teachers’ capability and confident in carrying out peer / self-assessment was further enhanced. Similar sharing sessions were also conducted informally for other levels. It was reviewed by the teachers that the resources shared during the lesson preparation sessions among panel members were resourceful and helpful. More formal sharing sessions or collaborative lesson preparation sessions are appreciated. b. Peer observation Through peer observation, skills of conducting peer / self-assessment activities were observed. Teachers’ experiences were shared during pre- and post-observation discussion. After a one-year implementation, teachers admitted that they are more confident in conducting effective lessons with peer-/self-assessment. Metacognitive skills were also observed in the lessons. Teachers were found more confident in making use of such skills to enhance students’ learning.

No one can live without IT. The Computer Department aims at equipping students with necessary skills for their further studies and careers, including developing their creativity through comprehensive designing tasks as well as their problem solving skills through designing and programming work. The Computer Department not only introduced the use of various IT tools to the students, but also cultivated in them a number of generic skills and values with a focus on creativity, critical thinking, communication and problem solving. Through various training and projects, students could better manage their study and learn independently and logically. In 2010-2011, the Computer Department strengthened the WebQuest platform. It is aimed to equip students with skills for acquiring and filtering mass information through the Internet. They were also able to make good use of IT as a presentation tool. By working as a team, students were more aware of the latest technologies. More importantly, they had enhanced their capability and become independent learners and team players. Self-assessment and peer-assessment were adopted in order to work in line with one of the school major concerns - Assessment for Learning. Students were required to take a more active role in their learning by having in-depth reflection on the process of self-evaluation and peer-assessment in various aspects, such as “e-Waste” project presentation and video project presentation in F1 and F2 respectively. By doing so, students were given a chance to reflect upon their own strengths and weaknesses and, at the same time, learn from each other and excel in their learning. Together with teachers’ guidance and modeling, students were able to acquire self-learning strategies comprehensively. Their learning skills therefore were enhanced so that they could become independent learners in the 21st century. To echo the School Major Concerns, the following strategies were adopted. 1. Enhance teachers’ capability on incorporating peer-assessment and / or self-assessment into their teaching through a. Collaborative Lesson Preparation Regular meetings were held on a weekly basis. The meetings aimed to improve teaching by reaching a clear direction of new topics during preparation sharing teaching materials and improving teaching finding out if there was any problem in teaching and seeking for improvement in specific topics b. Peer Observation and Sharing Teachers observed and were observed by other computer teachers once per academic year to learn from each other and enhance teaching. In addition, teachers agreed that sharing among colleagues helped them to improve the quality of teaching. Moreover, a set of the assessment rubrics has been developed. 2. Further promoting students’ metacognitive skills through teacher modeling During the lesson observation, teachers demonstrated different metacognitive skills such as questioning, error analysis, and critical thinking. During the lesson, students found this way of learning useful. 3. Collaborative effort to enrich the English learning environment on campus Teachers were encouraged to design courseware to initiate reading, speaking & writing activities for students so as to provide opportunities for them to improve their English. - 114 - Activities Held: Activities Mini-Project: “e-Waste” Research Participants F1 Expected Outcome Able to write a formal report Able to present in front of the class Microsoft Office Specialist Exam Video Production Project F1 Obtain the certification F2 Produce a video Able to work with group-mates Able to present in front of the class Programming Project F3 Able to work with group-mates Able to present in front of the class Method of Evaluation Self-evaluation, each student is to be accessed by themselves according to the assessment rubrics Peer assessment, each group is to be accessed by other group according to the assessment rubrics Examination Self-evaluation, each student is to be accessed by themselves according to the assessment rubrics Peer assessment, each group is to be accessed by other group according to the assessment rubrics Self-evaluation, each student is to be accessed by themselves according to the assessment rubrics Peer assessment, each group is to be accessed by other group according to the assessment rubrics - 115 - Evaluation Students could do the presentation well and satisfied all the criteria.

Economics Department The main objective of the Department of Economics is to develop students’ analytical and critical understanding of the important forces and institutions with which they will come into contact and the inter-dependence of economic activities. Students’ curiosity and interest in economic problems and issues facing individuals, societies, countries and the world as a whole are also our foci. Through different activities, students are trained to understand controversies over economic issues. Apart from the strategies of metacognitive skills and pre-lesson preparation, we have put special emphasis on ‘assessment for learning’ which was introduced as the school major concern this year. 1. 2. Enhancing teachers’ capability on incorporating peer assessment and / or self-assessment into their teaching through: a. Collaborative lesson preparation Several collaborative lesson preparation sessions were conducted this year in order to enhance teachers’ capability and confidence in carrying out peer / self-assessment. It was reviewed by the teachers that the resources shared during the lesson preparation sessions among panel members were resourceful and helpful. More sharing sessions or collaborative lesson preparation sessions are appreciated. b. Peer observation Different ways of conducting peer / self-assessment activities were observed through peer observation. Teachers’ experiences were shared during preand post-observation discussion.

It was very nice to provide all the students a chance to witness every aspect of stage productions from start to finish. Students also had a good opportunity strengthening their teamwork through collaborating with others. One shortcoming that was observed at the end of the event was that the quality of script was rather inadequate and inferior in terms of completeness and English. The number of speaking roles was too restricted, limiting the number of students who could have benefited. Eleven students were classified as outstanding among ALL users of English Builder, in addition to numerous merit awards. There were 81 merits, among 95 entries, with 3 first places, 4 second places and 4 third places. More students would read quality English magazines. Broader perspectives on current issues were spotted in their writing. Students found the talk and visit useful and they were able to apply the information gained to the activity “Mock Trial”.

Such practice was welcomed by students as they learned more about their own strengths and weaknesses in spoken English. The activity was positively received and the audience all enjoyed the contest. Participants were able to take up the various roles in a court case. The audience, other than F.6, all had something to learn. Geography Department Major concern of this year was assessment for learning. It included enhancing teachers’ capability on incorporating peer assessment and / or self-assessment into their teaching through collaborative lesson preparation and peer observation, and promoting students’ peer assessment / self-assessment skills for improving their own learning, Our department was also actively involved in collaborative effort on further enhancing students’ English capability through incorporating language plans into the teaching schemes. Main strategies are summarised below. Objectives Strategies 1. Enhancing Collaborative lesson teachers’ capability preparation, peer observation on incorporating and post-observation meetings peer assessment and / or self-assessment into their teaching 2.

Some good practices were shown, such as clear instruction on the rubrics before student presentation, guiding student feedback based on the rubrics, engaging the audience actively by making them give comments, raise challenging questions and answer questions. It was found that peer assessment sharpened students’ critical evaluation of the work. Some students were also able to set questions and give feedback. Pre-lesson preparations to promote independent learning were also involved. Self assessment should not be given marks as some students gave full marks for themselves. F.6 F.1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7 - 123 - Many students were able to master the core language skills stated in the plan. However in the ‘Reading to Learn’ scheme, some senior form Objectives 4.

Students were able to explain how their environmentally friendly actions slow down global warming. Students were able to evaluate the three master plans of West Kowloon Cultural District, though some did not apply the town planning concepts. Students were able to design their environmentally friendly building or community after doing science investigation and present their design. The three best works were awarded with internal scholarships. Two groups were awarded by EDB. F.5 students were able to present their field study reports for the assessment of their peers. However, because of the weather, F.6 students were unable to collect soil samples from the field. Students developed some note-taking skills and were able to grasp the main ideas though had difficulty in understanding the details. History Department To echo the school’s major concern of Smooth Implementation of New Senior Secondary (NSS) and incorporating self-directed learning and Assessment for learning through the development of metacognitive skills, the History Department has conducted the following activities: Objectives Strategies Enhance teachers’ capability and confidence on metacognitive skills Collaborative lesson preparation Peer observation To apply metacognitive skills & AFL in teaching To master the NSS curriculum To share the training received from EDB or practices from other schools Assessment for Learning Self assessment Peer assessment All members were to be observed once by 1 to 2 members arranged within the panel.

Peer observation form & debriefing meeting Nov Students should be able to use the marking Teachers’ observation & Peer - 125 - Strengths/ Areas for improvement History teachers of each form had met twice a month to discuss the teaching pace & shared the good practices in teaching. Three panel members (TSL, TYM, WSY) had attended EDB seminars regularly so as to master the NSS curriculum. CSC & WSY had participated in the Collaboration Programme (Junior Secondary) for the “Depository of Curriculum-based Learning and Teaching Resources” and had shared their trial-out experience in the third department meeting. To facilitate the follow-up after the form meetings, written reports from the form coordinators were suggested. All members had been observed once by 1 to 2 panel members. Debriefing meetings were held to share good practices & discuss the strengths and rooms for improvements in teaching. All members agreed that the metacognitive skills and assessment for learning could be effectively applied on learning and teaching during peer observation as indicated on the peer observation forms. Students were able to make effective use of the marking rubrics to assess the presentation of the others and themselves. Each group was assigned to assess one presentation only. Objectives Mini-research on Napoleon The arrangements were basically the same as F.1 However, the group presentations were assessed by all.

Students were able to make effective use of the marking rubrics to assess the presentation of the others and themselves. Since each presentation lasted for 5-8 mins and required the self assessment & peer assessment from all groups, it had taken 4 lessons to finish all the presentation. The process was quite time-consuming. Students were very familiar with the marking rubrics and able to produce quality work with reference to the rubrics. Students were able to show improvements in the understanding of the topic and students were more alert to the misconception and historical errors committed. Feedback on students' answers of the pre-test & the post-test helped to check the knowledge gained. Very few students were familiar with the assessment rubrics and the requirements of the three tasks assigned by the WebQuest. It was suggested that teacher should go through the information and requirements of the three tasks of the WebQuest with students in class carefully. Students in general were able to make sound Objectives Collaborative effort on enriching the English learning environment in campus To develop the language skills through conducting mini-research To develop the essay-writing skills through presentation of essay plan To teach useful language expression with reference to the "Manual of useful expression of question keywords" To teach the useful language expression with reference to the "Manual of useful expression of question keywords" & to develop the debating skills Target group F.6 Time scale year F.1 Nov Students should be able to describe an Egyptian painting with adjectives describing its features.
