Features

A variety of learning and teaching approaches are used to facilitate self-regulated learning for students with different interests and skill levels, such as:

  • Self-paced online learning tasks
  • Inquiry and investigation tasks
  • Collaborative group work
  • Peer assessments

At junior levels, there is at least one project-based assessment item. To further stretch students’ abilities, students with an interest in technology are encouraged to join the ECA Programming Training Team, and to participate in a wide range of competitions and activities.

 

Activities and Achievements

An interactive Drama (organized by Hong Kong Drama Education Studio) was held on 29/11/2021 for Form 1-2 students to learn about the intellectual properties



12 ICT students joined International Coding Elite Challenge 2022 (New Territories - Secondary Division), organised by Hong Kong Association for Computer Education, ICE Foundation and Cyberport. 8 students were awarded “outstanding coder” and 2 got “Top coder”. 

The ECA Programming training team - senior students are teaching Python. 9 meetings were held in 2021/22.

 

The school has joined IT Innovation Lab in Secondary Schools. In School Year 2021/22, our school has
o    two STEM days (11/7, 12/7) in which student workshop and competition included. In the student competition, leveraging the arena function of a coding platform, students competed in a gamified environment using their own code,
o    two coding courses in which both basic and advanced Python concepts such as data types, functions, loops, and arrays were introduced, and
o    one advanced course on Financial Technology (FinTech) & Blockchain Applications.

 

10 senior form students joined the 18-hour AI Literacy Program organized by EduHK in July 2022.  They are presenting their AI group project in the final lesson.
