Donations PLKVKTCSFC School Report (2010 - 2011) Page 1 Mission of Po Leung Kuk Education Services Po Leung Kuk is a charitable organization serving the general public with the objective of “protecting the young and the innocent” for over a century. The Kuk’s education services follow the same objective in providing quality services to students. Po Leung Kuk affiliated schools of different levels are all operated on a non-profit making basis. The mission and policy of affiliated schools emphasize social benefits and keep pace with the current needs of the society. “Compassion, Respect, Diligence and Integrity” is the motto of Po Leung Kuk affiliated schools. “Cognitive, Aesthetic, Social, Physical, Moral development” are all emphasized in the cultivation of students, and students are expected to contribute to society with what they have learnt. The School Management Committee of Po Leung Kuk affiliated schools is a committee with no political or religious agenda. People should be free to express their feelings and beliefs, so, provided that the law has been complied with and the school order is not threatened, all schools of thought and all religions can co-exist in schools. Po Leung Kuk is a Non-Governmental Organization established by the Chinese. The Kuk is concerned about the community and the Mainland and is dedicated to the development of Chinese culture. The affiliated schools encourage students to participate in social services to develop their sense of responsibility towards our country and its various nationalities, which in turn cultivates in them an open and optimistic attitude as well as a global perspective. PLKVKTCSFC School Report (2010 - 2011) Page 2 Our School 1. School Goals Po Leung Kuk Vicwood K.T. Chong Sixth Form College was founded in 1991 in response to the increased need for sixth form places in Hong Kong. It has since thrived, providing a comprehensive curriculum for matriculation level students. With the intake of NSS students, the College aspires to be the leading aided senior form college in Hong Kong. It seeks to actualize its vision by: (1) providing a strong academic focus where excellence is aimed for by both students and staff, enabling students to gain admission to tertiary institutions and preparing them for university life, (2) encouraging the development and practice of self-respect and self-discipline in a free but responsible and democratic school environment through a series of student-oriented practices, (3) providing a learning environment that will foster students’ seriousness towards studies, independence, critical thinking, power of analysis and effective communication in both languages, (4) ensuring a smooth transition from a sixth form college to a senior secondary one through interface with the junior secondary college. 2.

School Facilities The Sixth Form College’s teaching facilities have always been well above the standard. The whole campus is computerized: all teaching and some amenity areas are equipped with internet nodes and there are over 200 high speed computers available for student and teacher use. A video projector is installed in every classroom and special room.

S4 students were introduced to basic computer and library skills to ensure that they can make good use of our IT and library facilities. Meanwhile, the college extended the use of e-class as the platform for teaching and learning. Substantial relevant learning materials have been uploaded by all subject panels to facilitate students’ study and self-directed revision. A weekly reading lesson was conducted in S4 and the reading scheme for S5 was fine-tuned by collaborating with various subjects to incorporate their reading requirements into the scheme. Regarding other learning experiences, structured weekly lessons in physical education and integrated arts have been retained. To supplement aesthetic education, a number of training lessons were conducted by outsourced organizations. These short courses included photography, painting, dancing, drama, paper cutting, etc. The Careers Committee provided life-planning and self awareness activities in the form of alumni talks and visits to tertiary and vocational institutions. Moral and civic education was coordinated by the MCE Committee. Talks and workshops on different topics were organized for students. To commemorate the twentieth anniversary of the school, a series of talks and exhibitions were arranged to arouse students’ interest in current social and political issues. With the aim to celebrate NSS students’ advancement in their studies, the OLE Committee initiated measures and coordinated mentors, subject teachers and various committees in giving positive feedback to students through letters of commendation and newly established prizes. These included the Vicwood K T Chong Scholarships for the top three in form, an overall progress prize and an English progress prize for each class. Three mathematics prizes were also given to each class, with the prize money won by Lee Pak Hin of 7M2 in the Hang Lung Mathematics Competition. 1.2 Teachers of NSS classes conducted regular form-level meetings or held discussions to adjust their schemes of work, trim down the teaching content, and tailor-make teaching materials to cater for the diverse abilities of S4 and S5 students. Students’ progress was closely monitored to identify the special needs at both ends of the ability range. A survey was conducted in S3 to find out the preference of students in their choice of elective PLKVKTCSFC School Report (2010 - 2011) Page 7 subjects for S4. A briefing session was held at the Junior Secondary College to introduce to them the eleven elective subjects, their requirements and possible combinations. In S4, students were introduced to Applied Learning Courses offered by course providers so that those who had an aptitude in these courses were well informed before considering replacing an elective subject with an applied learning course. 1.3 Teachers analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of S4 and S5 students and adopted diversified teaching strategies with differentiated tasks to motivate them. They shared their experience through peer lesson observations among KTC and JSC teachers. A bridging programme, focusing on English skills, was run in August for S4 students to help them acclimatize to the change in the medium of instruction. Small tutorial groups were run after school for learners of different ability levels by undergraduate alumni. F7 students helped S4 and S5 students better prepare for the final examinations in the pre-examination revision groups conducted in May and June. An NSS Study Room Programme was held during the summer vacation to provide teacher and tutor coaching for students taking the DSE in the coming year. 1.4 Students were encouraged to take part in more talks, excursions, visits, field trips, competitions and other academic activities. The increased participation rate raised students’ interest in related subjects, like the hotel experience day at Royal Plaza Hotel attended by some Tourism and Hospitality students. It also boosted the morale of some students like those who did well in the International Assessments and Competitions for Schools. After the success of the drama performance to end the teaching of the drama module in S5 last year, a pop culture concert was held to celebrate the success of the pop culture module this year. The Campus TV Team produced various TV programmes and S5 and F6 classes worked in groups to produce short TV programmes including a special segment to commemorate the twentieth anniversary of the college. 1.5 Teachers in the same panel or in the same department / KLA regularly shared teaching strategies to hone their skills to cater for diverse abilities. Students’ performance in uniform tests and examinations were analysed and the data collected was used to highlight common strengths and weaknesses. Remedial lessons were conducted for those who lagged behind and extra lessons were arranged in some subjects to ensure the teaching schedule was followed. PLKVKTCSFC School Report (2010 - 2011) Page 8 Reflection In the second year of implementation of the NSS reform, teachers began to have a better understanding of the abilities of the students. They modified and adjusted their teaching materials and strategies in order to enhance learning effectiveness. New measures were devised to cater for students’ needs, like the study room programme in the summer to cultivate a self-study habit in S5 students and the revised bridging programme to highlight the skills required for learning in English. Some of these attempts were not a total success though. The reading scheme for S5 did not meet its target and it was suggested that students should be given a grade in reading in the report cards of S4 and S5. Nevertheless students have become more motivated in learning as indicated by the frequency with which they have approached their teachers for help and the number of students using the study rooms. PLKVKTCSFC School Report (2010 - 2011) Page 9 Priority Task 2: To nurture a culture of effective collaboration among all members of this learning community to facilitate a smooth transformation from a sixth form college to a senior secondary college Achievements 2.1 To equip the teaching team to respond to the challenges posed by the transformation, communication among different subject panels has been strengthened through sharing in department meetings. The training courses teachers attended changed from the core and elective modules to the implementation of SBA. School-based SBA guidelines were established to help subject panels to ensure validity and fairness. Lesson observations were conducted to explore pedagogical strategies to motivate less able students and involve them in class activities. As regards counseling, a whole-school approach in pastoral care was adopted to allow every teacher to learn about the common issues affecting current students. The students’ discipline records were also made accessible in e-class for a higher degree of transparency. New issues that arose in the year were brought up in the staff development day for discussion and suggestions were made with regard to the punctuality of students at the mentor place for mentor time and the classroom for lessons. Suggestions were also made concerning the use of mobile phones and other electronic gadgets in school. 2.2 The young mentor system continued to function and served to help the new intake adjust to the new school environment. Form 7 students also helped the NSS students in preparing for the examinations in the pre-examination revision group programme. Plenty of opportunities for voluntary service were provided in school and in the community. 2.3 A new promotional video was produced to mark the change of the sixth-form education programmee to the NSS programme at the college. Parents showed greater enthusiasm for school affairs and student welfare. Alumni were involved in academic activities and in the JUPAS sharing sessions and interview workshops of the Careers Committee. The number of programmes organized with NGOs and outsourced agencies increased. PLKVKTCSFC School Report (2010 - 2011) Page 1 0 Reflection Despite our good track record in promoting students’ AL results, some of our veteran teaching staff have found it challenging to change from the lecturing approach to a more interactive style to involve less motivated students in class activities. It is also a complex undertaking to handle diverse abilities in class, especially in elective subjects. More staff development activities will be geared towards this aspect in the coming year and the feasibility of restructuring the curriculum for students with different abilities will be considered to achieve a more homogeneous level in each class for both core and elective subjects. The outlook is positive since the number of S4 classes will expand from five to seven. With the drastic drop in the number of classes during these transitional years, it has become more difficult to arrange mentors to stay with students for the three years they attend the college. The mentor system has to be adjusted so as to maintain the quality desired despite possible changes during the years. With the phasing out of the AL course, it is more difficult to find the requisite number of enthusiastic and able young mentors to help in orientation, leadership training and academic coaching. The school has to rely on undergraduate alumni and elsewhere for help. PLKVKTCSFC School Report (2010 - 2011) Page 1 1 Our Learning and Teaching As the college celebrates its twentieth anniversary, we are proud to say that it has achieved its mission to provide a strong academic focus where excellence is aimed for by both students and staff, enabling students to attain admission to tertiary institutions and solid preparation for university life. The matriculation students have always shown strong determination to excel and have proved themselves in the AL Examinations and JUPAS. With the intake of NSS students, the college is able to maintain a good learning atmosphere. The younger ones see in their seniors the proper learning attitude and benefit from their experience through daily interaction with them. Most of them have displayed a desire to improve. Students are encouraged to work with their classmates through group work and projects. Revision groups are organized so that the juniors can be helped by F7 students before the examinations and during the summer vacation. Meanwhile undergraduate alumni provide coaching on specific subjects during term time. Efforts are made to ensure this worthwhile tradition is maintained. To motivate NSS students in class, more diversified teaching strategies are employed. They are provided through a choice of different modules in various subjects. Measures are being taken to move towards a more formative type of assessment. More subjects involve students in journal writing, individual or group presentations, group projects, visits, field trips and independent learning. Students have free access to use the many computers in special rooms such as the Computer-Assisted Learning Centre and the Language Centre. With appropriate supervision students can access the intranet and the Internet to broaden their knowledge and to prepare for learning activities designed for them. The college also stresses the importance of a good reading habit. To cultivate this interest in students, the Library has continued to coordinate different subjects in the reading programmes offered to different forms including our prospective students in the junior college. It will take on an important role as a center of resources for students to practise independent learning. The students’ motivation to make continuous improvement is sustained by frequent feedback from teachers on their performance including quizzes after each topic and the release of the projected AL grades from their internal examination performance. Mentors, school social workers and the educational psychologist work closely to monitor students’ physical and psychological well being and conduct programmes to release their stress and anxiety. The school has been offering a well-planned, comprehensive curriculum to meet the needs and interests of different students. At the same time the college has attained positive SVAIS scores in all subjects in recent years. The encouraging results were attributed to the professional and dedicated teaching force, the effectiveness of the teaching, appropriate policies to elevate students’ PLKVKTCSFC School Report (2010 - 2011) Page 1 2 English language proficiency, and tutorial lessons to help develop students’ higher order thinking skills. Support for Student Development The successful practice of the mentor system, in place since the establishment of the school, will be continued during the years of the NSS education. This system allows a high teacher-student ratio for the provision of better support to students in all aspects of their school lives. More teachers were assigned as mentors in Secondary 4 to ensure adequate guidance and pastoral caring would be provided to students who had arrived in this new learning environment. A comprehensive orientation programme was organized for the last cohort of F6 students and the second intake of S4 students. F7 and S5 students were recruited as young mentors. Training was offered to equip them to help F6 and S4 students. Self-discipline and mutual respect are the goals of our discipline and guidance work. Developmental and preventative programmes of discipline and guidance are organized by different committees under the Board of Student Affairs. In order to give timely and suitable rewards and recognition so as to reinforce good conduct, appreciation certificates and conduct prizes are presented to appropriate students. Students who display misconduct are handled firmly but empathetically, combining the joint efforts of the mentor and the discipline teachers first, and involving guidance teachers, social workers and/or parents where necessary. Different committees have designed programmes to help students to develop self-management skills and to build up self-esteem. This year, on top of the Student Union activities and student-led academic and social clubs, the House system was fully operable for the first year. The ECA Committee will continue to adjust the modes of provision of extra-curricular activities to suit the needs of the NSS students. In recent years, all graduates of the college have aspired to pursue a local bachelor’s degree programme. The school has been putting a great deal of emphasis on careers guidance to ensure that students are well informed of the programme choices available and the JUPAS procedures. Interview skills and the practice of prioritizing choices are also stressed. To help the NSS students plan for their future, teachers of the Careers Committee have been collecting information about all possible avenues open to them. Besides this, structured lessons on life planning, aptitude exploration and careers knowledge have also been designed. Different pathways are explained to students who cannot adapt to the academic-oriented curriculum and Applied Learning Courses are introduced to students with multiple talents. PLKVKTCSFC School Report (2010 - 2011) Page 1 3 Despite the small number of SEN cases, in response to the inclusion policy of the Education Bureau, the college has joined the Student Support Scheme this year to obtain a grant to better support students with special educational needs. We continue to receive services from the education psychologist from Po Leung Kuk. By the end of this school year, the number of teachers who had completed the basic course and different thematic courses on SEN met the targets set by the EDB in its policy on inclusive education. PLKVKTCSFC School Report (2010 - 2011) Page 1 4 Student Performance Students’ performance in the Hong Kong Advanced Level Examination has kept improving. This year’s result breaks the school record again. The overall pass percentage was 99.35% in subject entries; that of AL subjects and ASL subjects was 99.01% and 99.83% respectively. The overall credit and distinction percentage was 74.84%; that of AL subjects and ASL subjects was 79.83% and 67.97% respectively, well above the average of all Hong Kong schools. PLKVKTCSFC School Report (2010 - 2011) Page 1 5 HKALE The percentage of students awarded the minimum entrance requirements for local degree courses (grade E or above in at least 2 A-Level subjects or equivalent, and grade E or above in both Use of English and Chinese Language and Culture) in the year 2011 is 99.6%.

The staff of our college and the junior college have put in a tremendous joint effort to ensure a smooth interface. The first and second cohorts of NSS students have adapted well to life in this college despite some teething problems. In the coming year, there will be four form levels, S.4, S.5, S.6 and F.7 in the college and these students are of more diverse level of ability than in the past. There will be students taking the last HKALE as well as students taking the first HKDSE. The challenge ahead of us is to achieve a satisfactory DSE result while sustaining a good ALE record. To commemorate the twentieth anniversary of the college, Sultan Vicwood Chong has established scholarships for a period of ten years to boost the morale of NSS students in their studies. The scholarships are given to the first three in form, and for overall progress and progress in English in each class. Efforts have been made to help students excel and make continuous improvement. By the end of the year, obvious improvement in their learning attitude was observed. Nevertheless, the diversity of our learners is still a considerable challenge. In the future, we will adjust the strategies adopted with the aim of bringing out the best potential of every student.
