(CPD)
• Strengthening the
recording, reporting and
self-evaluation system
of teacher attending
NSS workshop or
relevant professional
development program,
with due emphasis on
action learning and the
soft-target of 150 hours
per 3 years.
To support three new teachers, a department-based
mentoring programme was continued. Each department
had a mentor teacher to support new teacher’s school life
including teaching practice and other school logistics.
Heads of department had a key role to monitor the
teaching quality of the new teachers. It was commented
that the support was sufficient.
For teacher’s professional development, a
department-based record of teacher’s attendance in
external seminars and courses had been established.
Heads of department indicated that this record was useful
for them to plan the development of the department. The
total hours of attendance of all teachers in external
seminars and courses were at least 774 (i.e. about 13
hours per teacher) in the academic year of 2009-2010.
For the school-based staff development session on
regular Thursdays, there were totally 27 co-planning
sessions held in 2009-2010. In the co-planning sessions,
subject teachers grouped to co-plan their coming
teaching topics. Internal training sessions were also
included in the 27 co-planning sessions. The training was
department-based program so as to facilitate
departmental development. To further promote teaching
profession, all departments had completed at least one
lesson study in 2009-2010.

Strategies
Valuing support for student
growth and clarifying its role
in curriculum
• Use data collected
through APASO and
stakeholder
questionnaire survey to
learn about students’
needs and to map out
the school’s major
concern related to the
support for student
growth.
Implementing key tasks and
enhancing coherence and
coordination
• Use goal-setting
exercise as a means to
strengthen students’
Evaluation
According to the development of our school and also the
data from APASO (General Self, Social Self, Values and
Responsibilities), our school has arranged some key
programmes to encourage positive school culture so as to
improve monitoring. For example, the Head Prefect
Election, Goal Setting exercise and Moral Education
Programme during the Class teacher period.
Goal Setting Exercise
Information could be found in the evaluation of Priority
task 1.
Head Prefect Election
The objectives of this activity are to create an election
atmosphere among students, develop the needed ability
among those election candidates and encourage students
pay more concerns to our school. A 4-level hierarchy
system was finally set up among prefects.
