Although there are no summer sessions, there is a great variety of activities organized during the summer vacation. Enrollment Secondary Section Form 1 2 3 4 5 6 Number of Classes 5 5 5 5 (#6) 6 (*7) 6 (*7) # Five classes being splitted into 6 groups; * Six classes being splitted into 7 groups The normal class size is 15 to 41 students in each class. Total 32 Facilities The school campus has eight principal buildings with a total building area of approximately 19,100 m2, a spacious sports ground of 5,500 m2, a gymnasium, a swimming pool, an Innovative Learning Centre, a lecture theatre, a bible-study court, a chapel and an archives. All of the rooms on campus are air-conditioned. Medium of Instruction The medium of instruction is English, except for Chinese, Chinese History and Putonghua. Admission Form 1 entrants are allocated through a centralized system monitored by the Government of Hong Kong. Under the feeder system, about 85% of the places, after deducting the 30% discretionary places, are reserved for our own students from Primary 6. Administration Munsang College is a non-profit private institution run by the Munsang College School Sponsoring Body (SSB). The Hong Kong Government accorded the Secondary Section of the College the status of an “aided” school in 1978 which has been incorporated since September 2012. The existing Principal was appointed by the Ex-College Council and approved by the Government of Hong Kong. The Incorporated Management Committee gives directions on the formulation and implementation of school policies. 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 Counselling Committee and the school social workers closely co-operate with the community to help students in need and to hold various counselling activities, talks and growth development services. The Careers Committee offers students career guidance support and a variety of programmes for enriching their career and life planning education. Through the Student Association, six houses, and CCA groups, the Co-curricular Activity Committee helps developing students’ organization and leadership skills. To cater for students’ 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 2014 – 2015, student helpers were hired to provide additional support to students such as after-school tutorials and oral examination practices. Training camps and workshops on stress management, speech therapy and development of self-confidence and social skills were also organised for students with the funding. A horticultural therapy workshop was held for students in our Eco Garden to promote emotional resilience. 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 Spiritual Nourishment Award Scheme, Monday prayer, devotional and bible classes, etc. School teams are set up to build school spirit include basketball, football, badminton, volleyball, fencing, 2 field training, swimming, dance class, orchestra, choir and so forth. There are groups for aesthetic development such as visual arts, drama, photography and campus TV. Groups for academic subjects such as English, French and Mathematics nurture students’ knowledge. Students take part in various uniform teams such as Boy Scouts, Girl Guides, St. John Ambulance Brigade Cadets and St. John Nursing Cadets. Munsang College believes that platform for students to organise various large scale activities could develop their leadership potential and the heart of service. Student Association is responsible for organising the annual singing contest, teacher-student tournament, sports activity, thematic 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, various activities like inter-class competitions, debate competition, English Activity day, etc. would be held. Service tour to different nations provides a platform for students to show their love and care to the needy. Teams are organised to take part in inter-school science and visual arts exhibitions, IT competitions, athletics meets, swimming competitions, music festivals, speech festivals, drama festival and the like. Career & Life Planning School Year 2014-15 marked a paradigm shift to a comprehensive life planning education and career guidance service. This has helped students understand their own interest, capabilities and academic or career aspirations, develop a positive attitude towards work and learning and integrate their aspirations into whole-person development and life-long learning. To bring forth comprehensive life planning education and career guidance service, personal and small groups counselling services, CLP-in-class sessions coupled with Career Days for all Forms were conducted, focusing on the issues particularly addressing students’ needs. The Careers Committee has consistently been devoted to offering opportunities and professional guidance to nurture our students to be self-directed learners and future leaders through a wide range of career-related activities and morning assembly sharing. The partnering programs with NGOs and alumni well-manifested the effectiveness of mentorship, to bring students inspirational and career-related skills and knowledge, helping them to compose their personal repertoire with confidence and character. To address the diversity of learning and enhance our students’ global vision and options for further studies, we extended our classroom to Australian Teaching & Learning Showcase 2014 in Physics with La Trobe University, Melbourne. We have channeled international connections with Cambridge University in the UK as well as Waseda University, Ritsumeikan University and Yamanashi Gakuin University in Japan, from which scholarships have been set for our students. The CLP Grant provided great support to implementing CLP with extra human resource; a teaching assistant was deployed in planning and implementing the comprehensive careers education, making the flow of work more effective and efficient. 3 Curricula While a unified curriculum was offered to students of Form One to Form Three, the Senior Secondary (SS) has been in place for the Form Four students, with English Language, Chinese Language, Mathematics and Liberal Studies being the 4 core subjects.

Among the five topics, students thought that “internet addiction” was the most interesting one as it is related to their real life. This result was the same as last year. Students suggested that more interactive activities such as group discussion can be included to make the lesson more interesting. Besides, students thought that the teaching time was not enough. Students wanted to have deeper information. These suggestions were the same as last year too. Unfortunately, due to the time constraint, it was hard to improve.

Students were able to learn about the culture of another school and establish a close relationship. Discipline Committee On the whole, students were still very well-behaved and self-disciplined. All of them were well-mannered. Only occasionally were they late to school in the morning 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 far more cases of bullying as compared to the previous academic year. The situation was more common in F.1. The students attempted to play tricks with classmates first. If the situation was not under fine control, serious consequences could be unavoidable. Besides, some cases were extended from their primary schooling. Attempts were made to negotiate with different parties and the parents concerned. Counselling Committee, school social workers, educational psychologist and NGOs were engaged to follow students’ misbehaviour and value judgement. 2. In the year ahead, effort is needed to instil in students a sense of integrity as there were still cases of cheating in dictations and daily quizzes reported. In most of the cases, students concerned were interviewed and they showed regret about their misconduct. Precautionary measures including talks during school assemblies had been arranged accordingly. Only very few students denied to admitting their misconduct will be provided with spiritual nurturing in the coming academic year. 3. This was the fifth 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, particularly after lunch. Habitual latecomers were identified, interviewed and penalized to join lunch detention classes; 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 tailor-made video clips have to be uploaded onto the Campus TV to remind students of the examination regulations and the proper attitude and behaviour in school. 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 continue implementing Value Education for F.1 classes and Sex Education for F.2 classes in morning assemblies. Christian Ministry and Counselling Committee will work together for the moral-related issues and to raise students’ moral standard. Careers Committee will strengthen the implementation of life planning programme to all class levels, and career counselling will be provided to those who are academically weaker and the repeaters. It is hoped to cultivate in students a more positive value judgment. Besides, F.1 and F.2 Home Economics will continue fostering students’ self-management and self-discipline. 6. Students with high records of misconduct were requested to perform community services during summer vacation in order for them to gain a greater understanding of how their individual actions affect the well-being of the public. Besides, F.1 students with high record of late submission of homework assignment were interviewed, monitored and if necessary, retained after school to join assignment tutorial classes. 76 The table below shows the evaluation of various activities held by the Discipline Committee and Prefect Association. Objectives Strategies Green Education Classroom cleanliness being Keep Classroom assessed by the prefects during Clean Campaign lunch time. A score chart of each class being posted on the notice board for class teacher to monitor and to take further action; another chart of the whole school being published half-yearly.

Target Group F.1-F.6 Time Scale Whole year All teachers Whole year Success Criteria A total score of 70% of the full mark for each class Less than 7 printed copies for each class level 77 Evaluation Methods Total score of each class Annual Evaluation of Prefect Association The number of printed copies Evaluation Students-on-duty did not perform their duties punctually. In many cases, the blackboards or whiteboards were not cleaned before lunch. The rubbish bins were filled with lunch boxes, and very few plastic bottles and metal cans were disposed of properly. Still many students put their own belongings on the floor to make the classroom in a mess. Further strategies have been implemented to relieve the situation. Two more small bins for recycling were put in each classroom to implement Green Education. However, the effectiveness was not up to the expectation and further action should be taken to improve the situation. Only 6 printed copies 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. In the second term, to ease the installation of desktop computers for the Conduct and Promotion Meeting, iPads were used and users welcomed the change. Objectives Betterment of own self New Leaf Scheme Maintaining students’ punctuality Strategies Students being able to apply for clearing records of minor offences up to one black mark, provided that significant improvement is shown within a 12-day observation period. Items that can be cleared include no/late submission of assignment, minor lateness (within 30 minutes), violation of school uniform regulations, violation of hair style regulations, late submission of reply slip and no hymn book for hall assembly.

The success rate was around 73.08%. In the second term, 222 records were cleared, which corresponded to 76.55% success rate. Success rates were greatly improved as compared to previous academic year. The number of lateness cases showed a rise from 753 to 977 in first term, and a drop from 923 to 688 in second term. For the habitual latecomers, they were interviewed by the Discipline Master and if the situation was not improved, they were sent to lunch detention class. The number of truancy had been increased with the fact that many cases were reported by parents. The students concerned were asked to return to school immediately, interviewed and remedial work was implemented. Objectives Strategies Maintaining students’ punctuality in submission of homework assignments Students’ record of late submission of homework assignments being monitored regularly by discipline teachers, class teachers and TIC of AAC. Reports of late submission of homework assignments and cumulative records will be published monthly for close monitoring.

Class teachers from the academically-weaker classes worked hard to alleviate the situation, with detention classes for those who could not submit homework assignments on time. Discipline teachers interviewed both students with poor assignment records and their parents. One had a high record of 56 times and he was required to retain in the same class level in the coming academic year. 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.

F.1-F.3 students Whole year Students get improvement in the results of tests and examinations. Results of students’ tests and examinations 142 Evaluation The bonus mark questions were challenging enough in general. They could broaden students’ horizon in the subject and encourage them to read beyond textbook content. Most of the students in elite classes found the extra case studies challenging and interesting. Their geographical knowledge was enriched. Due to limited teaching time, only one extra case could be introduced at best. In response to this, students may be encouraged to read the extra case studies at home as self-directed learning. The effectiveness of small-group tutorial was obvious in F.1. Students’ mistakes in map reading were identified in the tutorial and immediate feedback was given to students. Small-group tutorial was offered to weaker students before form test and examination in F.2. The tutorial successfully consolidated and enhanced students’ skills in map reading. Tutorial was organised after the first quiz on map reading in F.3. The confidence in mastering and interest in map reading of weaker students were raised.

As this was the first year of their NSS Geography study, the students found the competition a bit difficult. This was because many topics were not yet covered in teaching. The competition could definitely broaden their horizon. Students, particularly F.5, should be encouraged to join the event in the coming year. F.4 and F.5 students were led to join CUHK HKDSE seminar (27/9/2014), Hong Kong Geography Day 2014 (22/11/2014), Eco-tourism Certificate Training Course (January to March 2015), Weather Observation Competition 2015 (9/5/2015) and the school talk on Developing Lamma Island (15/5/2015). The academic talks were closely related to the topics in HKDSE syllabus. Students found the Eco-tourism Certificate Training Course interesting. The field trip could enhance their understanding in fluvial processes and river management. Students got the “Merit in Weather Photo” in Weather Observation Competition 2015. They would like to join the Competition next year if there is any.

Students could learn little about geography-related concepts. Similar talks by the organisation may not be considered in the future. Most F.1 students could support their research findings with first-hand information and geographical concepts whereas a small number of them just relied on the textbook information and secondary sources found on web. Students could suggest a more environmentally-friendly urban design. Students could gain a better understanding of slope safety and slope stability. They could evaluate the effectiveness of the chosen slope stabilisation measure. Students’ presentation skills were trained and enhanced through this project. F.2C students did the best in presentation. Some bright students were taken to the Kai Tak Nullah to study the flood prevention measure.

Students were taken to study the coastal environment of Cheung Chau. They were given different equipment to collect field data and study the coastal processes. In doing the field reports, students generally could identify the landforms and types of land uses in the study area. However, they failed to explain the geographical phenomena with reference to field data or observation. Debriefing to students on weaknesses found in the field report was conducted. Students developed the concept of sustainability from the study of Cheung Chau. Students learned the skills of collecting first-hand data and conducted the land use survey. Metacognitive skills, such as KWL, error analysis and concept map, were demonstrated in peer lesson observation. Self-assessment and/ or peer assessment were adopted in observed lessons. Timely feedback to students’ answers or discussion findings was Objectives Strategies Target Group Time Scale Success Criteria Evaluation Methods and self-monitoring skills facilitate teachers to make adjustment to their teaching strategies MC item analysis To analyse the performance of students in multiple choice questions in examinations.

The analysis helped teachers identify the weaknesses or misconceptions of students effectively. Revisiting the corresponding concepts helped clarify students’ misunderstanding and improved their academic performance. It is suggested that the questions of which many students answered incorrectly can appear in revision tests in the future. News reading was incorporated in assignments in F.4. Students could extract the relevant geographical knowledge from the news. This broadened their horizon. F.5 students increased their understanding of the topic of sustainable city through researching on eight current geographical issues in Hong Kong. The element of dictation was incorporated into daily quizzes. It helped students spell geographical terms correctly in examinations. Some of the students were still very weak in spelling because of inadequate revision. 2.

Similar sharing should be made as a regular activity. Due to typhoon, the sharing was postponed to the SA forum day. F.6 Block 3 students had to join the event on that day. It is reminded to check the school calendar carefully to avoid a clash with school activity on that day. The eClass learning platform was mainly used by F.5 students to share learning resources with students, such as geographical issues and suggested answers. It was not frequently used as a channel to share information to students or solicit students’ opinions and questions in F.4 and F.6. The Facebook page was launched and conducted as a private group. It successfully was used as a platform to share teaching and learning resources, including details of activities organised by external organisations, part tests, answers of textbook exercises and revision exercises by the teacher. Students also posted videos, photos related to the subject. However, students did not always raise questions in the group. Objectives Strategies Target Group Time Scale Success Criteria Evaluation Methods Evaluation More encouragement may be needed, for example, making it as a part of the daily mark.

For F.4-6, we found that most of the students were able to manage to write the art and design appreciation according to their improving results of internal tests and examinations and public examination. F.2 Students were able to introduce and display their “Monster” mixed medium sculptures in LAC week in April 2015. Green Fashion Design for F.3 students were completed successfully and students were able to showcase of their creative works during English Activity Day in July 2015. Watching art and design related English films, animations, videos and advertising were able to arouse students’ interest on the specific topics. Therefore, all strategies will be continued to implement in the next academic year. 2.

All the students agree that they can learn a lot from various artists or designers through the sharing of creative ideas and art making skills. 199 Evaluation Methods Students’ feedbacks and evaluation Teachers’ observation Students’ artworks and SBA Evaluation This year we had 13 students attending HKDSE Visual Arts examination, 7 of them taking Paper 2 and 6 of them taking Paper 1. 84% of students obtaining level 4 or above. One student got level 5**, four students got level 5*, two got level 5 and four got level 4. The examination result was encouraging and we will continue to train up students’ art making technique and appreciation writing skills. All the senior form students could make use of the resources to do their self-directed learning and use various artists or designers from the reference books to finish their SBA assessment. Thus, up-to-date reference books, journals and DVDs will continue to be purchased for students for self-study in the coming academic year. The Artist in School program was successfully held this year. We invited three professional artists: Lumlong & Lumli, Rainbow Lee and Clara Cheung to conduct artist talks and workshops in the school for our F.4 to F.6 students. Beside the artist talk we also invited one designer, Herman Tsang, to conduct a design workshop to F.5 students. All the students agreed that they could learn a lot from various artists and designer through the sharing of creative ideas and art making skills. Therefore, the program will continue in the next year.

There were three types of teaching resources collected and stored in the KSP. All subject teachers agreed that building up of KSP enhanced the use of materials related to teaching. Therefore we will continue to enrich the contents of KSP. “Teaching Interflow” was successfully conducted in March 2015. Three visual arts teachers (including the Visual Arts department head, Ms Tse Siu Wah) from Ti-I College visited our campus and observed two F.4 visual arts lessons. They do appreciate our students’ works and the active learning atmosphere. We were able to exchange ideas and share our Objectives Strategies “Teaching Interflow”.

Major Concern: Enhancing Learning and Teaching Effectiveness Objectives Strategies Catering for learners’ diversity Adopting differentiated instructions and tiered assignments to cater for students’ diverse learning needs Effective use of assessment Time Scale Whole year Success Criteria 70% of the teachers agree that their awareness, knowledge and skills on catering for learners’ diversity are enhanced. Evaluation Methods Survey by questionnaire Using e-learning to cater for different learning styles Whole year By the end of the 2014/15 school year, teachers involved agree that e-learning can cater for various learning styles of students. Teachers’ reflection in sharing session Using assessment to support and extend students’ learning help students’ self-reflection and self-monitoring Whole year By the end of the 2014/15 school year, 70% of the students agree that learning effectiveness is enhanced by making use Survey by questionnaire 205 Evaluation In most cases, differentiated instructions and tiered assignments were adopted in classroom learning and teaching, as reflected from the results of the survey. Besides, more than 95% teachers agreed that the awareness, knowledge and skills on catering for learners’ diversity were enhanced through the two training workshops provided by Quality School Improvement Project of the CUHK at the beginning of the school year. Teachers were encouraged to enrol in e-learning seminars and workshops this school year so as to face the challenges of teaching with technology. To prepare teachers for the use of e-learning platform, workshops on the use of Moodle were provided to teachers to equip them with knowledge, skills and confidence in the application of e-learning in learning and teaching. Moodle would be adopted as the learning platform to allow teachers to place the learning materials there for self-directed learning. It aims at catering diverse needs of students and extend student learning time. Over 92% teachers agreed that use of assessment data has facilitated them to make adjustment to teaching and learning. It was reported that S-Mark could really Objectives Strategies Time Scale facilitate teachers to make adjustment to their teaching strategies (e.g. S-Mark) Use of effective study skills Cultivating students’ note-taking skills and memory skills through school-based or subject-based programs (e.g. F.1 Bridging Programme) Success Criteria Evaluation Methods Evaluation of assessment data. Whole year 70% of teachers agree that Teachers’ students are better observations equipped with the study Survey by skills. questionnaire 206 facilitate teachers in identifying students’ common strengths and weaknesses in different types of questions. However, the technical problems of the system were not yet been solved and we agreed to extend the pilot period to the next school year. Note-taking skills and information searching skill were introduced to the students in the summer bridging programme for newly admitted F.1 students. They were attentive in the course. Over 92% students agreed that study skills, such as note-taking and memory skills, have been developed in school. However, as most of the F.1 subject teachers were not involved in the summer bridging programme, the skills developed may not be well incorporated and applied in our daily classroom learning and teaching. Hence, note-taking skills workshop will be introduced to F.1 and F.2 students in Sept 2015 during the lesson time and there will be a briefing session for all teaching staffs. 2. Major Concern: Building learning communities (a) Strategies for students Objectives Strategies Time Scale Whole year Success Criteria 70% of the teachers agree that F.2 – 5 students have developed a culture of peer learning and self-reflection in their learning. Evaluation Methods Teachers’ observations Students’ sharing and selection of good practices Enabling students to learn from their peers and to share good practices Reflective Story-telling Providing a platform for high achievers to learn from their peers, teachers and alumni High Flyer Scheme Whole year 70% of the mentors agree that the high flyers have developed a culture of peer learning. Teachers’ observations Facilitating students’ reflection skill in running OLE activities Workshop and learning symposium in Student-LED project Student-Teacher Tournament F.5 Service Day GP Festival JA Company Programme Whole year 70% of the teachers agree that F.2 – 5 students have developed a culture of peer learning and self-reflection in their learning. Teachers’ observations 207 Evaluation Students were encouraged to set their own learning goals and with continuous monitoring, they were guided to reflect on areas for improvement after the first term examination and evaluate the effectiveness of the strategies adopted. Through the story telling activities, students could learn from each other in sharing effective study skills such as time management and good study habits. Peer learning started to develop amongst the high achievers and they will learn and offer support to each other in both academic and non-academic areas. To foster students’ leadership skill, we provided them opportunities for both local and international exposures through visits and exchanges. Students become more confident and reflective in running OLE activities. Besides, they are more willing to share their experiences to other students. Their skills in communication, working as a team and problem solving are further strengthened. 2. Major Concern: Building learning communities (b) Professional development for teachers Objectives Strategies Time Scale Whole year Success Criteria 70% of the teachers agree that a sharing culture is inculcated. Evaluation Methods Minutes of subject panel and staff meetings Survey by questionnaire Inculcating a sharing culture Sharing effective practices in subject panel meetings, middle manager meetings and staff meetings Managing and sharing learning and teaching resources Knowledge sharing platforms (KSPs) Whole year At least 3 KSPs are developed by the end of the school year. Minutes of subject panel meetings Resources in the KSPs Enhancing teachers’ communication and collaboration among different committees and departments Peer observation Collaborative lesson preparation Curriculum mapping Whole year Teachers can apply metacognitive skills and assessment for learning in lessons. Sharing of good teaching practices among teachers of the same subject / KLA. Panel Head Evaluation Form Minutes of subject panel meetings 208 Evaluation Sharing sessions were included in different meetings to build up a culture of collegiality. More than 90% teachers agreed that effective teaching practices were shared in the subject panel meetings. Teachers have the opportunities to learn from one another and the sharing of good practise is especially crucial for the professional development of new teachers. All subject panels developed at least three KSPs in the subject server of different themes and areas. They are valuable resources for knowledge management, especially for new teachers in retrieving useful information from the subject folder. With the repertoire of KSPs available in the Intranet, subject heads may also get innovative ideas from other colleagues in developing their own in the near future. One more KSP will be developed in the coming academic year. Each teacher has participated in at least two peer observation activities related to their major teaching subject. From the Panel Head Evaluation Form, most subjects also included collaborative lesson preparation in the lesson being observed and by careful curriculum planning, more fruitful experience sharing would be made in the professional development programmes. Objectives Strategies Time Scale Success Criteria Evaluation Methods Providing chances of experience sharing on teaching and curriculum planning Networking schools Teaching Interflow (with other schools) Whole year 70% of the teachers agree that they get insights from the networking program(s). Sharing between panel members and colleagues of the same KLA. Teachers’ reflection after Teaching Interflow Equipping teachers with various teaching strategies to cater for learners’ diversity and cultivate self-directed learning Whole-school approach to cater for learners’ diversity and cultivate self-directed learning Whole year 70% of the teachers agree that they are confident and equipped with strategies to cater for learners’ diversity and cultivate self-directed learning. Survey by questionnaire 209 Evaluation In addition, good practices were identified in the peer observation which would be very useful for further development in coming years. Over 80% teachers spent more than 8 hours on collaborative lesson preparation and a sharing culture is inculcated. This is the second year of the Teaching Interflow and teachers from 14 partnering schools paid us a visit. Over 80% teachers agreed that teaching and learning strategies were enhanced through the Teaching Interflow. Better collaboration was built with the networking schools. Post-observation meeting was conducive to our development in teaching profession and constructive feedback was offered by teachers of the partner schools. Two workshops, namely “Support for Learning Diversity” and “Self-Regulated Learning” were arranged to our teachers on 26th Aug 2014 and 29th Oct 2014 respectively. Besides, Joint-school Staff Development Day on the theme of “Application and reflection on Catering for learner diversity and Self-directed learning” was conducted on 12th Dec 2014 for all teachers. Over 90% teachers are confident and felt competent in employing strategies to cater for learners’ diversity and to cultivate an atmosphere of self-directed learning. The two workshops offered by the Quality School Improvement Project (QSIP) of CUHK on Support for Learner Diversity were very insightful especially the sharing of experiences in other schools. The course contents were very comprehensive and useful. We have a chance to revisit different approaches teachers can use to deal with students, who learn differently, i.e. the cognitive psychology and neuroscience. Various strategies to cater for learners’ diversity, such as graded assignment & Socratic questioning, were introduced and we can better understand students’ difficulties and needs in learning. Teachers also found that the strategies for the design of pre-lesson preparation activities, self-regulated learning and flipped learning are useful for them. It is a valuable experience in analyzing the pre-lesson learning tasks in groups and sharing with colleagues in the workshops. Last but not least, with the professional support from the QSIP Team in curriculum planning and development of learning materials and activities, followed by the lesson observation activities, teachers participated in the project highly appreciated the continuous guidance and valuable feedback offered by the team. Therefore, we agreed to make application for the School-Based Support Services for one more year. Through site-based support, more teachers will be included in the learning circle and further developed to evaluate the effectiveness of the pedagogies adopted and be competent to have a sustainable process for enhancing students’ learning motivation and effectiveness. After the External School Review conducted in October 2014, Learning Enhancement Team (LET) was set up in the second term and it is composed of the Principal, Vice-Principal, Head of Academic Affairs Committee and Coordinators from different key learning areas. Through the regular meetings, issues such as how to conduct lesson observation, designing questionnaire to collect student feedbacks on classroom learning and teaching effectiveness and evaluation on school major concerns were discussed. All the attendees worked as a professional learning community and were willing to share their views on different aspects. In 2014 – 2015, we agreed that we have to focus on the two areas, namely questioning skills and assessment as/for learning. Teachers were reminded to include higher order thinking (HOT) questions in their lessons to stretch student potentials and more importantly, to arouse students’ interest and motivation in engaging learning activities in a meaningful way. To nurture our students into effective learners and have better interface between our primary and secondary education, a Steering Committee of Curriculum Interface (SCCI) was set up in late April 2015 with membership comprising three teachers from each of Munsang College and Munsang College Primary School. The committee works out the framework and time schedule for the actions to be taken. And in the first year of implementation, we expected that there should be a closer look at the vertical progression of the curriculum planning in core subjects, especially in primary six and secondary one level. Common difficulties, misconceptions and weaknesses of our students would be identified through lesson observation and scrutinization of students work. We continue to build up learning communities with different schools and teachers are strongly encouraged to participate in activities of networking schools. 210 School Major Concerns 2015 – 2016 1. 2.
