Areas for Improvement
1. School Management
The process of PIE (Planning, implementation & evaluation)
has been well developed at different levels.
Implementation strategies have been formulated and cascaded
to the plans of departments and subject panels.
Subject panels and departments have formulated concrete
operational annual plans in accordance with the major school
concerns.
Grants for specific purposes are suitably utilized, e.g. SSCSG,
etc.
There is good use of evidence at both the school and subject
panel levels for review and analysis of the implementation of
work plans (e.g. The results of APASO and Stakeholder
surveys are utilized.).
The school has utilized the evaluation findings to feed back on
the planning of the next cycle.
The daily running of the school is systematic.
More communication is needed in formulating school policies.
2. Professional Leadership
Strong middle management prevails.
The school management has vision and aspirations.
The school management takes into consideration the views of
different stakeholders.
External resources are tapped actively to support the
implementation of various measures, e.g. hiring out the campus
for the use of British Council.
Staff appraisal is conducted systematically.
Teachers’ professional exchanges are encouraged through staff
development workshops and taking courses on professional
development.
A climate of professional exchanges has been developing as
seen from the open classrooms of some teachers, lesson
observation and professional sharing with teachers from other
schools, etc.
The school should further be developed as a learning organization.
The younger staff could be more strategically deployed. This aims
at enriching their experience and solving the succession problem
of the school.

(II) Our Weaknesses
More communication is needed in formulating school policies.
The financial management can be improved.
Our experienced teachers are going to retire soon and the issue of succession has to be addressed.
Our students are competent but have not tried their best in learning.
Our students may not have enough room for non-academic development.
Our students’ sense of belonging to the school has to be strengthened.
Our campus is too small.
The hardware of our school, e.g. campus, facilities in classrooms, etc. are not up-to-date.

Different kinds of funds or resources are provided by the government for specific purposes. This provides our school with resources to develop
in specific areas. The Dedicated Funding Programme provided by the QEF and the resources from the CEATE awardee workshop are
examples.
Various supporting measures from the government, e.g. the setting up of SENCO, “One Executive Officer for Each School” Policy,
“All-Graduate Teaching Force in Aided Schools”, etc. provide opportunities for our school to strengthen our administrative and teaching
forces.
The School Leaders’ Workshop on whole-school curriculum planning in 2018-19 will enable our school to review and optimize our curriculum
