Our school has been putting prime emphases on providing quality education for our students which includes very significantly the nurturing of their whole person development through the cultivation in them the True Light spirit Through this lsquoTrue Light Spirit Cultivationrsquo our students will be internalized with the invaluable True Light Girlsrsquo Qualities which include perseverance fitness modesty sacrifice illumination dedication awareness and versatility to live up to the School Motto and to shine forth as the light of the world This lsquoTrue Light Spirit Cultivationrsquo which has been stated as the first major concern in our School Development Plan (2012-2017) matches well with our school vision which aims at bringing up our students who will lsquogrow in loversquo and lsquocontribute to societyrsquo in their all-round development In the second year of the implementation of the School Development Plan notable achievements had been accomplished in further enhancing the spirit of sisterhood upholding and sustaining the fine True Light legacies fostering the religious atmosphere in the school and enhancing studentsrsquo contribution to society in the aspect of lsquoTrue Light Spirit Cultivationrsquo
On further enhancing the spirit of sisterhood the sister class system as bonds amongst the sister classes had been much fortified
S1 Form Association Inauguration Ceremony held on 31 March 2014 provided the good opportunity to strengthen sisterhood of S1 and S4 sister classes as S1 students received great help and support from their elder school sisters in S4 in preparing for the various performances in the ceremony which included choir singing dancing English drama English and Putonghua choral verse speaking
sisterhood among the sister classes of S3 and S6 was much nurtured as S3 students showed their gratitude towards their elder school sisters in S6 by preparing for them hand-made souvenirs upon their graduation
S1 students were provided with care and guidance in school programmes from their senior school sisters S1 students were given help and support from their elder school sisters in S1 Orientation Days elder schoolmates in S3 or S4 served also as student mentors in the S1 Mentoring Programme to help their younger S1 school

On upholding and sustaining the fine True Light legacies students were acquainted with True Light legacies through learning more about the school history
the Religious Education curricula in S1 S4 and S5 had been revised to include school history for students to learn more about the values and beliefs the school had been practicing
students in general could learn more about the True Light legacies by visiting the School Chapel cum School History Archive which displays rich relics and information of the history of our own school True Light Girlsrsquo College and by visiting also the True Light History Gallery with exhibits showing the history of our Alma Mater as well as the constant interflow and cooperation of True Light schools in Guangzhou and Hong Kong while the School Chapel cum School History Archive was taken as the most suitable venue for students in S1 to have school history lessons and for S4 students to conduct their self-directed study on school history
students of S1 S4 and S5 were guided in Religious Education lessons to study the Chinese version of the book ldquoA Light in the
Land of Sinimrdquo (《光在華夏》) written by the school founder Harriet Noyes to know more about the original True Light beliefs and
spirit and to write reflections as assignments through the TLGC 40th Anniversary publication called ldquoEncountering True Lightrdquo (《遇見真光》) which the S6 students received as the
school souvenirs for their graduation the impact of True Light legacies on many True Light people who had shared their testimonies of their True Light experiences in the book was felt more impressively by the graduates who would be more convicted in living up with the True Light spirits even after leaving school
students were facilitated to live up to the ideal True Light values which were reinforced through the moral and civic education they received in and outside the classroom subjects like Chinese Life Education and Religious Education lessons carried some immersed teaching of moral and civic
education which reflected also the True Light values there were even greater opportunities for students to learn more about core and universal values on hearing guest speakers share
their ideas in school assemblies by participating actively in OLE programmes to widen their horizons and by joining educational trips to learn more widely from people of different places in the world
True Light traditions were reinforced with various school practices and programmes as students were familiarized with the traditional True Light songs and hymns they learnt in Music lessons the school followed the True Light tradition to hold for the first time the S6 Form Association Night on 27 June 2014 evening as a rite
of passage for the graduates to share their school memories and to strengthen their bonds with the school and with each other the Lantern Passing Ceremony was held within the S6 Form Association Night as a True Light traditional ritual for members of the
True Light family to witness how the graduates had grown up with the blessings and education of True Light traditions and how these traditions would then be carried on by their school sisters in school as shown by the passing of the True Light Torch from S6 graduates to S5 students in the ceremony
it has been the tradition of our own school for our S6 graduates to have their Farewell Assembly and it was held on S6 last school day 28 February 2014 with the help of the Religious Education Committee
On fostering the religious atmosphere in the school religious elements were integrated in routine and daily school activities
as morning prayers had been said at around 59 times in the last school year usually on Days 3 4 and 6 by Christian teachers and students
there were prayers Bible sharing and hymn singing led by Christian teachers and Student Fellowship members in school assemblies Education Sunday school ceremonies as well as Christmas and Easter Services

the Student Fellowship played its key role in fostering the religious atmosphere the Junior Fellowship and the Senior Fellowship met regularly for religious activities and sharing the student official members of the two Fellowships had their frequent religious sharing meetings a Gospel Day was organized before the Christmas holidays for students and teachers the LIGHT Summer Camp (4-672014) and a Training Day Camp (2982014) were held to help students reflect on relationships
with God and with each other while teams relationships and problem solving skills were also nurtured the Religious Education and Music curricula were reviewed and modified as
thematic studies like those on lsquoloversquo and lsquomeanings of lifersquo were included in the Religious Education curriculum for different levels of students to learn about religion in a lively and collective way
hymns with their rich religious meanings were taught and sung in Music lessons Collaboration with preachers from churches in organizing religious activities and leadership training
A network with HKCCC Hop Yat Church (Kowloon Church) Mongkok Church and Mandarin Church which was helpful and supportive to the holding of religious activities in our school
preachers from various neighbouring churches had helped in many of our religious studies like Teacher Retreat Education Sunday Bible sharing and giving religious services
On enhancing studentsrsquo contribution to society community or voluntary service training programmes were designed and implemented to equip S4 students and student leaders with the
necessary skills and techniques and to engage them in providing the services the Service Learning Programme was introduced to S4 students as a part of their school learning and all S4 students had to
participate in the programme so as to broaden their horizons and arouse their awareness of the needs in the society a Leadership Training Programme was arranged for all student organizers to help them design and organize the service
programmes Students of different levels were facilitated to take part in community service programmes to serve the needy
voluntary services for the elderly and flags selling activities had been organized by the Students Social Service Corps the Oxfam Club had organized charity programmes like Charity Cafeacute and Hunger Banquet the Community Youth Club Zonta Z Club Red Cross Youth Unit Girl Guides Junior Police Call Road Safety Patrol had organized

212 Reflection
The traditional and invaluable spirit of sisterhood had been well nurtured and more established in the past school year with some further strengthening of the sister-forms system the continuing growth of mutual care and cooperation between sister-forms and the strengthening of bonds between students and the alumnae
Based on our existing persisting effort in nurturing sisterhood among students and even between our students and alumnae more and different attempts should still have to make to foster sisterhood among students of the same class the same form the same House within the whole school and even with the other True Light Schools in Hong Kong and Guangzhou Such endeavours could be made through the established mechanisms like the class associations the form associations the four Houses and the Student Union within our school while new initiatives should be sought for strengthening sisterhood among the True Light Schools
Sisterhood within our own school could still be further enhanced with various kinds of games activities and competitions organized at inter-class inter-form and inter-House levels including those very popular established practices like the Interclass Rope Skipping Competition the Interclass Tug-of-war Competition the Athletic Meet and the Swimming Gala It could be very useful and meaningful if more different kinds of inter-class inter-form or inter-House activities would be held like choral speaking debates ball games quizzes and drama festival It was good to have the revived attempts like re-organizing the Inter-House General Quiz and for each House to re-hold its own House Annual General Meeting to raise sisterhood in the House levels There are still more things the Houses could do like re-holding Orientation Gathering for S1 House members to foster sisterhood through the enhancement of the House spirit The Student Union may attempt to organize certain events like the Student Festival to enhance the school spirit of all students
Sisterhood could still be much enhanced through the sister-forms system especially for the sister classes of S2 and S5 More opportunities like sharing games competitions etc should still have to be created for students of the sister classes to have much closer encounters communication and cooperation
There had been certain attempts which could help nurturing sisterhood among the True Light Schools like holding student interflows co-organizing overseas study tours and drama workshops attending each otherrsquos school anniversary thanksgiving services and visiting our Alma Mater in Guangzhou Based on these good practices more attempts in the studentsrsquo level could still be tried out like re-holding the Joint True Light Schools Athletic Meet and organizing joint activities or competitions like debates quizzes and even a drama fest Such sisterhood within the True Light schools could facilitate our working together with greater collective efforts to reinforce the True Light legacies and to demonstrate them to the community
Satisfactory work had been done to facilitate students to learn more about the True Light history values and traditions in order to uphold and sustain the True Light legacies in students More creative and meaningful ways could still be attempted to motivate students to have genuine interests to know more about everything concerning True Light Taking True Light history spirit culture traditions and legacies as the main theme students could be asked to do researches or projects on the issue while even different kinds of competitions games days or carnivals could be held for the purpose
The religious atmosphere in the school had been greatly fostered all through the year with morning prayers religious practices in assemblies Student Fellowship activities and most importantly studentsrsquo religious education in classrooms It could still be further enhanced if students would be led to live with religious beliefs and values in their daily life encountering issues of personal and current affairs with the religious faith and perspectives
Students had been much facilitated to serve the society with training programmes to equip them with the necessary skills and knowledge with voluntary work for them to serve the needed and with commendation on their accomplishments in performing voluntary and community services It is our present practice to have different student bodies in school to organize voluntary services as a part of the annual programmes to provide students with the opportunities to serve the community It would be even more constructive if a Social Service Society could be newly formed to act as an individual student body focusing purely on doing different kinds of social and voluntary services It would be even more fruitful and helpful if students could take both a whole person development approach and a deep concern for our community when they contribute themselves in doing voluntary and community services Students should take their contribution to society as indispensable for their personal growth which should include not just doing community services but also their love care and concern for the development of the community

22 Learning Effectiveness Enhancement 221 Achievements
Major and further steps were taken earnestly by the school to carry on with the realization of the four foci emphasized in the 5-year School Development Plan (2012 ndash 2017) including well-developing studentsrsquo self-direct learning practices well-catering for studentsrsquo learning diversities broadening studentsrsquo learning horizons with cross-curricular learning and enhancing studentsrsquo learning in classroom with cooperative learning The following accomplishments were made with the strenuous and persistent collaborative effort contributed by the whole teaching staff
On developing well studentsrsquo self-direct learning practices students were helped in acquiring and developing self-direct learning skills and habits with the implementation of the e-Learning Pilot
Scheme and the making use of the eClass platform students in S1 and S2 were provided with plenty opportunities in the English lessons to familiarize themselves with the use of ipads
to help develop well their self-direct learning abilities and they found their learning of the English language had become doubly effective as the use of ipads could help them achieve their learning tasks and share their learning outcomes promptly and effectively
students were trained in their junior form study to well equip themselves in the use of ipads for self-direct learning as they were taught and drilled in their S1 to S3 Computer Literacy lessons on the basic use of ipads and process apps in order to cultivate their skills habits and confidence in making use of ipads for their self-direct learning
many Liberal Studies Geography and Science teachers had also made a very wide use of ipads in and outside the classrooms to enhance further studentsrsquo capabilities in using ipads for school learning as well as self-direct learning
studentsrsquo use of ipads in school had been much enhanced by the e-Learning Pilot Scheme which helped provide the WiFi network while the school showed its strong support through providing the additional ipads and process apps
students had also made good use of the eClass platform for their self-direct learning as they did their private study with the many self-direct learning packages prepared and uploaded by teachers of different subjects
students could conduct their self-explorative learning more effectively and conveniently in the newly established E-Learning Centre plans and steps to convert the MMLC into a self-access E-Learning Centre were taken since the start of the last academic year with
the major conversion works taken and completed during the Easter Holiday with school funding the newly established E-Learning Centre was installed with a full coverage of high speed WiFi access a
suitable number of 42 ipads and related furniture the E-Learning Centre started to open to students for their self-direct learning with the use of ipads after the Easter Holiday
students took the multi-functional Student TV as a self-direct learning platform and engaged themselves in it as effective learners by either producing or viewing the Student TV programme the True Light Student TV studio was established with a well-trained production team of students responsible for running different
channels under the supervision of a Supervisory Committee of teacher advisors programmes were produced and broadcast according to schedules for students for school news information and knowledge
building and the viewers mostly found the programmes satisfactory for their self-direct learning reading to learn was persistently promoted to facilitate studentsrsquo self-direct learning
prescribed reading booklists for students were duly prepared by different subject panels for each level and uploaded to either the subject web pages or the school library website and students generally found the prescribed reading could facilitate their self-direct learning
suitable i-books had been sought throughout the year and their subscription could only be made when there would be satisfactory i-books with reasonable costs offered in the market

On catering well for studentsrsquo learning diversities teachers had kept on adopting suitable teaching strategies to make classroom learning effective for students of different learning
abilities like arousing studentsrsquo learning motivation strengthening studentsrsquo language abilities providing students with various kinds of
exposure and it was a common practice for teachers to make use of graded questions and differentiated tasks to better match studentsrsquo abilities
preparing the high achievers for higher achievement by giving them more challenging tasks and learning activities during the lessons to provoke their high-order thinking setting bonus questions or worksheets and designing for them more demanding homework assignments
different learning programmes were provided for high achievers and weaker students like offering off-site courses in Chinese English Mathematics Liberal Studies Physics and Biology for NSS high-achieving students to
further enhance their learning abilities in these subjects arranging after-school tutorial classes for those junior form students who were weak in the main subjects
preparatory measures were attempted to tailor-make the school policies on catering for studentsrsquo learning diversities like joining the Learning Circle of Catering for Learning Diversities organized by EDB to keep interflow of ideas with other schools participating in the research on ldquoHong Kong In-service Teachersrsquo Self-efficacy and Readiness for Differentiated Instruction for
Diverse Learnersrsquo organized by the Faculty of Education of The Chinese University of Hong Kong to have a better understanding on the preparedness and readiness of our teachers at catering for learning diversities
taking the initiative within members of the Academic Standing Committee to prepare the school much better in catering for learning diversities like taking steps to further review the school policies and strategies on the issue to conduct a further study on studentsrsquo learning diversities and to coordinate the teaching strategies adopted by different subjects to cater for learning diversities
On broadening studentsrsquo learning horizons with cross-curricular learning the Language Across Curriculum project was implemented promoting cross-curricular learning with English as the teaching medium
a cross-panel Language Across Curriculum Coordinating Team was set up comprising of a Vice-principal four English teachers one Mathematics teachers and one Integrated Science teacher
with the advice and guidance of a hired consultant teachers of the LAC team had worked out and developed a total of 24 cross-curricular learning and teaching packages on English Mathematics and Integrated Science for the junior form students including worksheets on both language and content items as well as interactive activities and games to be used in lessons
these learning and teaching materials would be fully utilized in the new school year while they would also serve as examples for other EMI subjects to develop cross-curricular learning materials with English
the 24 LAC teaching and learning packages with interactive learning activities and graded exercises on English History and Geography were successfully put into practice in the junior form lessons
the annual Cross-curricular Learning Day activities were carried successfully on 21st February providing students with task-oriented learning opportunities to learn more effectively and creatively without subject boundaries like
lsquoThe Changing Face of Centralrsquo (S1) lsquoWhatrsquos on the Menursquo (S2) lsquoField Study in Kingrsquos Parkrsquo (S3) lsquoLearning Positive Traits from Famous Peoplersquo (S4) and lsquoWorking Realityrsquo (S5)
studentsrsquo language proficiency had been greatly enhanced as students had to accomplish tasks like writing and orally presenting reports in their Cross-curricular Learning Day activities
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014
- 16 -
initial steps to develop tailor-made curricula to promote cross-curricular learning were taken as subject panels especially those within the same key learning areas were encouraged to identify suitable cross-curricular topics
across subjects some teachers especially those within the same key learning areas were encouraged to include cross-curricular elements in their
collaborative teaching plans On enhancing studentsrsquo learning in classroom with cooperative learning many teachers had participated quite actively in many professional development activities concerning cooperative learning including
peer lesson observation experience sharing on the practice of the related teaching strategies
many teachers had included cooperative elements in their lessons like including cooperative learning elements in their collaborative teaching plans practicing cooperative learning more in junior form lessons
students were equipped with cooperative learning skills in junior forms Liberal Studies lessons with high demands of interactive learning and creativity were taken as the most appropriate platform for
students to start acquiring and practicing cooperative learning skills in junior forms cooperative learning was also quite frequently applied in S1-S3 classrooms especially by teachers of subjects like English History
Integrated Science and Geography
222 Reflection Studentsrsquo self-directed learning practices had developed quite satisfactorily in the past school year through the wide practice of
e-learning the making good use of the Student TV and the insistence on reading to learn but there is still plenty room for improvement Both teachers and students should have some better understanding of the real benefits and strategies of self-directed learning for
enhancing learning effectiveness There should be more professional development on self-directed learning for teachers including both the philosophies and teaching strategies Teachers should engage students meaningfully and effectively in their self-directed learning to compensate for the lack of sufficient time for students to learn just in the classroom Students on the other hand should still have to develop the habit of self-directed learning so that they could learn more widely and freely beyond the constraints of classroom learning
To develop e-learning for effective self-directed learning it is very necessary to have the sufficient provision of both the hardware and software For hardware more ipads should be provided for students for the convenience of their mobile learning and classroom sharing and plans should be taken to cover the whole school campus with WiFi access Both teachers and students should be encouraged to use the newly established E-Learning Centre for lessons or self-directed learning As for software teachers should be given more room and support to enable them to prepare more e-learning lessons and teaching packages as well as self-access learning materials or packages for studentsrsquo self-directed learning More suitable apps for educational and instructional purposes should have been purchased
The Student TV should still be much better developed as an effective platform for studentsrsquo self-directed learning To produce better programmes both in quantity and quality for self-directed learning more and more students should be trained and supported to become more active in producing and broadcasting self-direct learning programmes for students More broadcasting time should be given while it will be more useful if students could have more and easier accesses to programmes produced by the Student TV

To promote self-directed learning through reading a more enriched reading atmosphere in school should still be enhanced Students should be much encouraged to make good use of the prescribed reading lists for their self-directed academic pursuit by asking them to provide diffused information acquired from prescribed readings to accomplish their assignments or by giving them bonus term marks Persistent efforts in finding and subscribing suitable ibooks for students should still be attempted to facilitate studentsrsquo self-direct learning
The increasing needs in catering for studentsrsquo learning diversities require both the school and the teachers to take more appropriate actions teachers should further develop a better awareness of the importance of catering for learner differences as both effective and
indispensable in helping all students not just the low achievers they should be encouraged to participate actively in learning circles of teachers of the same or other schools to develop suitable and effective strategies to be applied in classrooms for the purpose
the school should take steps to look into the real situation of learning diversities of our students and to work out school-based policies and development programmes to equip the school and the teachers with the necessary knowledge and strategies to enhance studentsrsquo learning through catering for their learning diversities
both the teachers and school should also prepare themselves to provide help and support to those students with special education needs who have been growing in number in recent years
Based on the contemporary success in making use of cross-curricular learning to enhance studentsrsquo learning effectiveness some better measures could still be taken to enrich and improve the Cross Curricular Learning Day activities to refine the attempts at developing and implementing the Language Across Curriculum and to working out a practical school-based curriculum for cross-curricular learning the Cross-curricular Learning Day in providing students with task-oriented or theme-based leaning opportunities should also
integrate other ingredients to develop students as effective learners like learning outside the classroom and enhancing their skills in e-learning mobile learning as well as self-directed learning
cross-curricular learning through Language Across Curriculum should include not just English with History Geography Mathematics and Integrated Science but also with all other EMI academic subjects so that both the language and the academic subjects could reinforce one another in studentsrsquo learning and there should be better coordination to facilitate teachersrsquo cooperation and to incorporate well the LAC lessons into the teaching schedules of the subjects concerned
subject panels should be much encouraged and supported to review their curricula to identify suitable topics and themes for cross-curricular learning in order to work out the school-based tailor-made cross-curricular learning curricula
Cooperative learning should still be further enforced especially in junior forms in order to familiarize students in the earliest stage of the secondary school study with the unique learning skills and styles and teachers should still be much encouraged and facilitated to widely practice cooperative learning by providing them with the necessary materials needed for cooperative learning requiring them to work with each other in collaborative teaching to work out and implement the teaching plans with cooperative learning elements and asking them to start with the junior forms to try out the strategies for cooperative learning

23 Gifted Education Development
231 Achievements With sufficient preparatory work in the previous year this academic year saw the progressive development of gifted education in True Light Girls College With concerted efforts of the Committee members new initiatives were raised and relevant issues and concerns were explored On the administrative level The Gifted Education Committee was officially formed The committee set up gifted education policy and implemented certain projects in
the year Aiming to identify students gifted in different domains and provide suitable learning opportunities for them talent pools in S2 and S3 were
set up focusing on performance of eight domains namely Chinese English Mathematics Science Music Physical Education Art and Leadership In each domain of each form 16 students were selected as gifted by respective subject teachers or class teachers The talent pools were made accessible for all teachers so that all of them could identify gifted students in certain domains when necessary
Towards the end of the academic year talent pools were updated for the new academic year A system was developed for managing the ongoing pull-out programmes The system categorized the running programmes concerned
on subject-based criteria On students level In this year the nomination process of students to join off-site enrichment and extension programmes provided by Gifted Education
Section of EDB the Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education local tertiary institutions and universities was carried out smoothly A leadership training programme was successfully organized in August 2014 for potential student leaders All S4 students were assigned to join The Hong Kong Award for Young People (AYP) which is a scheme promoting all-round
development and exploring ones talent and potential One committee member teacher was assigned to each of the 4 classes to monitor students completion of the scheme
Two talks were held for students throughout the year One aimed at informing S4 students of the rationale and implementation of AYP Another one is for S2 and S3 students introducing the rationale of talent pool and how students should go all out to develop their talents
On teachers level Teachers were invited to contribute to the development of talent pool During the process they were introduced the definition of
giftedness and some selective criteria of gifted students
On parents level Mr Patrick Lam Associate Director of the Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education was invited to be the guest speaker of a seminar for
parents on Parents Day in February The talk introduced the ideas of giftedness and it received positive responses from the parents

232 Reflection
The goals set were achieved well in the previous academic year It is deemed that improvements on certain areas of the Committee could be made for future development of gifted education in breadth and depth All members of the group should have a basic and unanimous understanding as to how gifted education is defined and how its
development is implemented on the school level It is time for all members to receive further training provided by the Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education Core members of the group should receive more advanced training especially on the administrative level More meetings and informal exchanges should take place for achieving such an aim
With the development of the talent pool it should be introduced to all teaching staff thoroughly so that they are more aware of its existence and use
AYP is to be implemented in both S4 and S5 Last year the completion rate of the scheme was not satisfactory as teachers in charge found it difficult to monitor students progress frequently and regularly Next year AYP ambassadors will be assigned in all S4 and S5 classes It is hoped that they can facilitate the monitoring work as well as the promotional work of relevant activities
Gifted education in classroom is one of the concerns of the Committee A staff development programme regarding high-order thinking skills is to be held in next year helping teachers familiarize themselves with how such skills can be developed among students in classroom
24 Career Education Enrichment
241 Achievements This is the second year of the 5-year School Development Plan 2012-2017 This is a good opportunity for students teachers and parents to understand the importance of career education for the student development through organizing and participating in different programmes This year a wide variety of programmes were organized for all stakeholders to be equipped in career education These should be helpful for students to pursue their own goals with the support from their parents and teachers On enhancing professional development of teachers on career education a staff development programme on Implementation of Career Education in Secondary School was organized for all teachers on 6
January 2014 We invited Dr Ho Yuk Fan the Vice Chairperson of The Hong Kong Association of Careers Masters and Guidance Masters to share the latest information in Career Guidance The teachers were very positive to the programme

career knowledge and experiences Subject panels provided a wide variety of activities to inspire students for the pursuit of their further study and career opportunities such
as visiting RTHK attending a CEO talk from KCS and a public lecture on ldquoExplore the World of Medicinerdquo Some students found the participation in the OLE activities inspired them in setting up their own goals Reflections on goal set up for
study and career can be seen in S6 studentsrsquo Student Learning Profile and the OEA
242 Reflection The school has been promoting career education to the stakeholders at school Even though there were difficulties in the implementation phase it was a good start Some teachers may not fully understand the importance of career education to all students More professional development on career
guidance should be provided to teachers so that they will be better equipped for providing more comprehensive support to the students More CRE activities were organized but the teachers could better help the students to consolidate their learning and relate their
experiences to career planning so as to arouse studentsrsquo awareness to the importance of career planning For the Career Education Curriculum it would be introduced in S3 in 2014-2015 Students could have an earlier awareness which can
help them make a more informed choice for their study and career

3 Learning and Teaching 31 Learning Experiences
Our students have been with pride and perseverance putting the call of the School Mission into their daily learning as they always tend to lsquothink
independentlyrsquo and lsquolearn proactivelyrsquo in their academic pursuit Taking such approaches in learning both in and outside the classroom students find that they could make the most out of their various learning experiences as they striving for the best academic performance
Through their daily learning in classroom students did not just acquire knowledge subject-wise while developing their various generic skills they
could also learn to treasure important universal values when they came across the core elements in value education including moral civic and environmental education which had been immerged with the different subjects they studied These invaluable learning experiences could help students establish correct and positive attitudes towards life which is very useful for them to live and enrich their everyday life and to foster their whole person development
Students became very effective learners in and outside the classroom with the help of information technology When in classrooms students
were highly engaged in each lesson with teachers making the frequent use of various information technology devices like the computing system the electronic whiteboard the Simultaneous Response System and the overhead projector as well as different audio-visual aids to enrich their learning experiences Students could also make use of various e-learning provisions in school to conduct their own self-directed learning outside the classroom In recent years students could study with the e-learning packages uploaded to the eClass platform by their subject teachers and conduct their private study with the help of the computer in the Computer Room Since last Easter students could also use ipads for their self-directed study in the newly-established E-Learning Centre
Junior form studentsrsquo learning in classrooms was also much facilitated with some new ingredients inserted in their lessons For instance students
in S1 and S2 could learn with ipads in English lessons to accomplish their learning tasks and to share promptly and effectively their learning outcomes with classmates Junior form students attending Liberal Studies Integrated Science and Computer Literacy periods would also often find themselves learning lively and actively through ipads
Furthermore junior form students had also come across with a new learning experience in their Language across Curriculum lessons with
subjects like English Mathematics History Geography and Integrated Science Learning with the tailor-made cross-curricular materials which include innovative worksheets as well as interactive games and activities students found it marvelous as their study of the English language and the subject content of Mathematics Science and Humanities could reinforce each other
Drama education was introduced as a new element in the English learning of junior form students with the hope that this integration of the
lsquodramarsquo elements in the English periods would make the lessons more impressive and appealing to students while students could learn in a more creative and interactive way the listening writing reading and speaking skills in the learning of the language
Junior form students had also got used to making use of cooperative learning in class to help maximize their learning effectiveness and outcomes
especially in lessons of English Liberal Studies History and Geography For senior form students there was still a strong tendency for them to take less than three elective subjects in their NSS study In this school year
after their application for dropping elective subjects had been approved after the last Final Examination there are now 58 students in S5 and 92 students in S6 studying less than three elective subjects Meanwhile there are already 11 students in S4 studying only two elective subjects many were S4 repeaters who could only take two elective subjects for their study Moreover there are only 7 students (out of 37) still studied M1 in S6 while a total of 18 (out of 36) had withdrawn their study of M2
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014
- 22 -
With the growing dropping rate of M1 and M2 in S5 and S6 there would only be a class of students admitted to S4 this year given the opportunity to study the Mathematics extensions but this study would only take place after they have been promoted to S5 In the meantime those S6 and S5 students who had withdrawn their study of an elective subject had still to attend supplementary Chinese and English lessons two periods for each language per cycle in the first term or the second term respectively For other spare periods these students had to conduct their self-directed learning in the school library while class and subject teachers were well aware of giving them more and better support through guidance or providing them with more supplementary work or exercises Those students who had withdrawn from studying the Mathematics extension parts had to attend supplementary Mathematics (Core) lessons to concentrate on improving their performance in the subject
Senior form students could also have other learning experiences within their normal lessons like Religious Education lessons for Moral amp Civic
Education PE lessons for Physical Development Career Education lessons in S4 for Career-Related Experiences as well as Aesthetic Development lessons For Career Education though it was not included as normal lessons in S5 and S6 it had still been implemented for the students as immersed programmes conducted in class teachersrsquo periods or assembly time for S5 and S6
Besides learning through the formal curriculum in classrooms students also learned without boundaries outside the classroom They took part
actively in the Cross-curricular Learning Day learning across subject boundaries in the form of thematic study like lsquoThe Changing Face of Centralrsquo (S1) lsquoWhatrsquos on the Menursquo (S2) lsquoField Study in Kingrsquos Parkrsquo (S3) lsquoLearning Positive Traits from Famous Peoplersquo (S4) and lsquoWorking Realityrsquo (S5) Moreover students enjoyed something like a knowledge carnival in the re-organized Inter-House General Quiz when both the House teams and the House members as audience were asked of questions from all the subjects they studied
Students also learned in a lively and creative way and gained significantly when they participated in some exchange or interflow activities or
attended the various enrichment or enhancement courses organized by the school or when they acquired other learning experiences outside the classroom
Students were given the opportunities to learn in other schools when they joined in some student interflow schemes like the Local Student
Exchange Scheme co-organized with Hong Kong True Light Middle School on April 1-3 2014 as well as with Queen Elizabeth School on April 9-10 2014 Students had also twice the time to have interflows with students from Guangzhou True Light Middle School on November 6-7 2013 and April 30 2014 Students who had become buddies of the student visitors from other schools could have especially gone through some brand new and unforgettable learning experiences
The Capacity Enhancement Grant (CEG) and the Diversity Learning (DLG) were well made use of to provide students with extra support to
further enrich their knowledge to enhance better their learning capacity and develop deeper their interests and skills Through CEG there were Enrichment Courses for S1-S3 Gifted Students in Mathematics an Interactive Drama Performance Course for S2 students Drama Courses to enhance S4 and S5 students in their English Learning Chinese Debating Courses for S2 to S4 students Physics Courses on lsquoArchitecture amp Mechanicsrsquo and lsquoElectromagnetismrsquo biotechnology experiments for Biology students in senior forms a Beginner Digital Photography Course and Student TV Training Course Through DLG there included a Learning English through Debating Extension Course a Learning English through Social Issues and Pop Culture Extension Course workshops on Chinese writing and composition Biology courses on lsquoForensic Sciencersquo and lsquoBiotechnology Experimentsrsquo and Mathematics and Liberal Studies enhancement courses for NSS students
Studentsrsquo knowledge horizons were also broadened when they participated in a variety of extra-curricular or co-curricular activities like visits
field trips and study tours abroad like to Singapore in January 2014 on Environmental Historical Cultural and English studies to mainland China (Beijing) for Cultural Studies and to Taiwan on Music Interfow Different subject panels had also worked through their respective academic societies to provide various innovative life-wide learning activities to arouse studentsrsquo interests and to enhance their ability in learning the disciplines Talks of academics or scholars had also been organized to help arouse studentsrsquo social consciousness and academic concerns

32 Teaching Strategies Our teachers had been incessantly acquiring and attempting to put into practice different kinds of teaching strategies to cater for the various
learning needs of our students in order to help them achieve the best learning outcomes Teachers always took up the role of facilitators in classrooms focusing at constructing an interactive classroom in order to arouse studentsrsquo learning motivation and help encourage their proactive learning Students were provided with various stimuli to help their learning like providing them with different scenarios to inspire them to explore every possible method to solve problems asking them graded and high order thinking questions to enhance their creativity and critical thinking skills and giving them carefully designed differentiated and challenging tasks to enrich their useful and meaningful learning opportunities in classrooms Teachers also provided timely and constructive feedbacks and compliments to students as recognition and reinforcement of their learning outcomes
Teachers also tended to have frequent applications of various information technology techniques and devices like the computing systems
visualizers ipads as well as the electronic whiteboards with the simultaneous response system to help reinforce their teaching strategies in creating a more interactive and effective learning environment to make learning and teaching more effective Teachers had been looking into the possibility of making a wider use of e-learning strategies like providing students with e-learning packages and resources through the eClass platform introducing e-textbooks to students and subscribing for them i-books for self-directed learning The first task had been taken for a few years while the other two tasks were still put under study
To improve the teaching strategies on catering for learning diversities our school had joined with other schools in the Learning Circle of Catering
for Learning Diversities organized by EDB to keep an interflow of related ideas and strategies with other schools The school had also participated in the research on ldquoHong Kong In-service Teachersrsquo Self-efficacy and Readiness for Differentiated Instruction for Diverse Learnersrsquo organized by the Faculty of Education of The Chinese University of Hong Kong in order to have a better understanding on the preparedness and readiness of our teachers at catering for learning diversities
Our teachers had also engaged themselves in an active sharing of teaching strategies as they contributed proactively their articles to the
publication of a Collection of Teaching Recollections of Teachers of True Light Girlsrsquo College called lsquoTrue Light Sharingrsquo in the last school year As seen from the four sections in the book teachers of different subjects shared with their colleagues and teachers of other schools their teaching plans lesson tips glowing new ideas in teaching as well as some teaching reflections
Teachers had been actively making use of the Collaborative Teaching Scheme and the Common Free Periods to work together and to learn from
each other for the purpose of refining and further developing their teaching strategies Through the Collaborative Teaching Scheme teachers teaching the same subjects or within the same KLA worked in teams each consisting of two or three teachers to work out and implement together some teaching plans with peer lesson observation and evaluation Specific attention was paid to develop teaching strategies for cross-curricular and cooperative learning while the scheming of student-oriented lessons to enhance active student involvement and learning autonomy was also emphasized with concerns for provoking high-order thinking and catering for learning diversities Common free periods were arranged when setting the timetables for teachers of English Chinese Mathematics and NSS Liberal Studies at each level to enhance their professional teaching collaboration in their lesson preparation and implementation Other subject teachers had mostly taken their own initiative to arrange for themselves the same practice for their professional sharing and development
To further enhance the effectiveness of our teaching strategies in order to bring about satisfactory learning outcomes of students it is still
necessary for our teachers to acquire improve and implement the teaching strategies concerning catering for learning diversities of high achievers low achievers as well as students with special education needs Steps have also to be taken to tailor-make the curriculum of different subjects for meaningful cross-curricular learning Cooperative learning should still be widely practiced not just in junior forms and for only some subjects More importantly teachers should acquire more knowledge and skills in fostering studentsrsquo self-directed learning which includes the use of teaching strategies to facilitate the e-learning and mobile learning of students
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014

33 Assessment Studentsrsquo academic performance and learning outcomes had been continuously assessed by different modes of homework assignments quizzes
term tests and examinations Assessment for learning was greatly emphasized when giving students homework assignments to help consolidate their subject knowledge and
what they had learned in classroom Assignments which included various kinds like workbooks worksheets essay writing surveys projects case studies reports book reviews and newspaper cuttings etc were duly designed with diversified tasks and questions of varied difficulties Improvement could still be made in designing assignments to cater better for studentsrsquo diversified learning needs to adopt wider modes of assessment like self peer and parent assessments and to help students to conduct their self-directed study
To help students to put great emphasis on doing well their homework in order to consolidate their learning outcomes the Homework Submission
Scheme was adopted and implemented in these recent years to make students do and submit their homework assignments properly Together with the homework policies of different subject panels which often included mark deduction for late submission of assignments students had become more punctual and orderly in their homework submission To further encourage students to do well their homework assignments in order to achieve satisfactory learning outcomes the Most Outstanding Homework Performance Award Scheme was still carried out and a total of 44 and 52 students were awarded in the first term and the second term respectively
To have a better supervision from the school management and the subject panel heads on homework assignments to students including the
content and marking of the assignments the assignment inspection policy was carried out which required the subject panel heads to supervise the panel members over their making use of homework assignments in achieving their teaching objectives Panel heads could make use of the standard record forms of assignment inspection to see into the quality and the quantity of the assignments given by teachers and to evaluate the marking of the teachers and the ways they gave the comments and feedbacks The subject panel heads also had to submit their studentsrsquo assignments to the school management for the same kind of inspection
Besides assessment assignments studentsrsquo annual academic performance in school was formally assessed through tests and examinations
which made up the term marks and the examination marks of studentsrsquo annual scores respectively There were two examinations for each level of students every year For tests there were at least two assessments (testassignmentproject) for each subject within each term For junior forms there should be at least one test in the first term and preferably two tests in the second term while for senior forms the two assessments each term should be tests
The New Senior Secondary Curriculum provided teachers with great challenges in different aspects including assessment Teachers had been
especially careful to be accurate in using the standard referencing system to assess students on the levels they attained in different assessments and different subjects Two attempts were still made in the last school year to help teachers to conduct their level marking more confidently The first was to keep joining the HKDSE Mock Examination Papers Exchange Scheme organized by the Association of Principals of Secondary Schools of the Hong Kong Council of the Church of Christ in China Subject teachers who had joined the Scheme found it very helpful to conduct level marking by taking the marking criteria set by other schools as reference and examples The other attempt was to predict for students their levels of attainment in different subjects after the S6 Mid-year Examination and students were given their predicted grades on S6 Parentsrsquo Day as a way to help the students as well as their parents to prepare better for the Mock Examination and HKDSE The school joined for the second time the Pilot Study on Predicted Levels of 2014 Core Subjects (CEML) conducted by the Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority to study on the reliability of our prediction of
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014
- 25 -
studentsrsquo CEML subjects to evaluate teachersrsquo accuracy in level marking while reliable predicted grades will be useful for managing the expectation of students and their parents The School Report of the pilot study showed that there was a satisfactorily high correlation between the predicted grades awarded by our teachers to students and the actual level attained by students in 2014 HKDSE showing that teachers had a good understanding and knowledge on standard referencing and their level marking performance was very reliable
To match much better the level attainment system adopted by the New Senior Secondary Curriculum with the traditional marking system which
was revealed in studentsrsquo Academic Reports it was decided that the passing mark in senior form subjects would be changed from 50 to 40 of the total mark Such a change could also better reflect the possible level attainment obtained by students in HKDSE
Teachers were also very cautious in taking sophisticated procedures in conducting the School-based Assessment in the New Senior Secondary
Curriculum Students were assessed on the same tasks and with the same assessment criteria To achieve this students were given common SBA tasks across classes and the same standard of assessment The same criteria for awarding marks to all students were applied and in doing so consultation among teachers to align the marking criteria was often conducted and trial marking of samples of studentsrsquo work was constantly carried out Marks given were adjusted whenever necessary to ensure consistence of assessment standard Reference materials and archive materials were used to help standardizing marking Proper and sufficient guidance and supervision was provided to students to ensure the quality and authenticity of their work There was feedback and advice on improvement to students after the completion of marking to provide them with a fruitful learning experience

4 Student Support and School Ethos
In line with Christian values of loving oneself and others we kept on focusing on developing students on True Light Girlsrsquo qualities including perseverance fitness modesty sacrifice illumination dedication awareness and versatility We aim at enhancing studentsrsquo capability of self-discipline self-respect respect for others and self-motivation for learning Twin class teacher system was adopted for every class to ensure that students were well cared for In general students were found to be well disciplined virtuous and caring From EDB stakeholder questionnaires we found that teachersrsquo studentsrsquo and parentsrsquo views on support for student development are 38 37 and 39 respectively on average Teachersrsquo studentsrsquo amp parentsrsquo views on school climate are 36 37 and 41 respectively on average The scores attained are steady in these three years The survey results indicated that teachers students and parents are in general satisfied with the school support for student development and the school climate
Teachersrsquo studentsrsquo amp parentsrsquo view on support for student development
Teachersrsquo studentsrsquo amp parentsrsquo view on school climate
In year 2013-2014 The APASO data of our school in general showed positive result The scores of our students are in general higher than the Hong Kong norm Yet the test scores indicate that the test anxiety of S1 S5 and S6 students are quite high To help the students to handle their stress workshops on study skills time management and stress management which run by our educational psychologist had been arranged and well received by the students

2 Achievements and Reflection on Major Areas of Concern 21 True Light Spirit Cultivation
211 Achievements
Our school has been putting prime emphases on providing quality education for our students which includes very significantly the nurturing of their whole person development through the cultivation in them the True Light spirit Through this lsquoTrue Light Spirit Cultivationrsquo our students will be internalized with the invaluable True Light Girlsrsquo Qualities which include perseverance fitness modesty sacrifice illumination dedication awareness and versatility to live up to the School Motto and to shine forth as the light of the world This lsquoTrue Light Spirit Cultivationrsquo which has been stated as the first major concern in our School Development Plan (2012-2017) matches well with our school vision which aims at bringing up our students who will lsquogrow in loversquo and lsquocontribute to societyrsquo in their all-round development In the second year of the implementation of the School Development Plan notable achievements had been accomplished in further enhancing the spirit of sisterhood upholding and sustaining the fine True Light legacies fostering the religious atmosphere in the school and enhancing studentsrsquo contribution to society in the aspect of lsquoTrue Light Spirit Cultivationrsquo
On further enhancing the spirit of sisterhood the sister class system as bonds amongst the sister classes had been much fortified
S1 Form Association Inauguration Ceremony held on 31 March 2014 provided the good opportunity to strengthen sisterhood of S1 and S4 sister classes as S1 students received great help and support from their elder school sisters in S4 in preparing for the various performances in the ceremony which included choir singing dancing English drama English and Putonghua choral verse speaking
sisterhood among the sister classes of S3 and S6 was much nurtured as S3 students showed their gratitude towards their elder school sisters in S6 by preparing for them hand-made souvenirs upon their graduation
S1 students were provided with care and guidance in school programmes from their senior school sisters S1 students were given help and support from their elder school sisters in S1 Orientation Days elder schoolmates in S3 or S4 served also as student mentors in the S1 Mentoring Programme to help their younger S1 school
sisters to adapt themselves smoothly to their new secondary school life new initiatives were taken to further nurture sisterhood
the newly participated EDB programme called ldquoPupil Ambassador Active Bright and Caringrsquo had been implemented in all levels which involved also cooperation among students of corresponding sister classes
the House System was refined to nurture sisterhood through the cultivation of the House spirit especially with the revived practice of letting each House to hold its own Annual General Meeting
bonds between students and alumnae were fostered as the Alumni Mentoring Scheme was carried out to invite our alumnae who had excelled themselves in their professions in different
fields to become mentors of their younger sister schoolmates studying at S6 at school offering them guidance and advice in their career planning and further studies
the alumnae who were well-established in the community with their achievements had been invited to share their experience and expertise with the students in talks or school assemblies

On upholding and sustaining the fine True Light legacies students were acquainted with True Light legacies through learning more about the school history
the Religious Education curricula in S1 S4 and S5 had been revised to include school history for students to learn more about the values and beliefs the school had been practicing
students in general could learn more about the True Light legacies by visiting the School Chapel cum School History Archive which displays rich relics and information of the history of our own school True Light Girlsrsquo College and by visiting also the True Light History Gallery with exhibits showing the history of our Alma Mater as well as the constant interflow and cooperation of True Light schools in Guangzhou and Hong Kong while the School Chapel cum School History Archive was taken as the most suitable venue for students in S1 to have school history lessons and for S4 students to conduct their self-directed study on school history
students of S1 S4 and S5 were guided in Religious Education lessons to study the Chinese version of the book ldquoA Light in the
Land of Sinimrdquo (《光在華夏》) written by the school founder Harriet Noyes to know more about the original True Light beliefs and
spirit and to write reflections as assignments through the TLGC 40th Anniversary publication called ldquoEncountering True Lightrdquo (《遇見真光》) which the S6 students received as the
school souvenirs for their graduation the impact of True Light legacies on many True Light people who had shared their testimonies of their True Light experiences in the book was felt more impressively by the graduates who would be more convicted in living up with the True Light spirits even after leaving school
students were facilitated to live up to the ideal True Light values which were reinforced through the moral and civic education they received in and outside the classroom subjects like Chinese Life Education and Religious Education lessons carried some immersed teaching of moral and civic
education which reflected also the True Light values there were even greater opportunities for students to learn more about core and universal values on hearing guest speakers share
their ideas in school assemblies by participating actively in OLE programmes to widen their horizons and by joining educational trips to learn more widely from people of different places in the world
True Light traditions were reinforced with various school practices and programmes as students were familiarized with the traditional True Light songs and hymns they learnt in Music lessons the school followed the True Light tradition to hold for the first time the S6 Form Association Night on 27 June 2014 evening as a rite
of passage for the graduates to share their school memories and to strengthen their bonds with the school and with each other the Lantern Passing Ceremony was held within the S6 Form Association Night as a True Light traditional ritual for members of the
True Light family to witness how the graduates had grown up with the blessings and education of True Light traditions and how these traditions would then be carried on by their school sisters in school as shown by the passing of the True Light Torch from S6 graduates to S5 students in the ceremony
it has been the tradition of our own school for our S6 graduates to have their Farewell Assembly and it was held on S6 last school day 28 February 2014 with the help of the Religious Education Committee
On fostering the religious atmosphere in the school religious elements were integrated in routine and daily school activities
as morning prayers had been said at around 59 times in the last school year usually on Days 3 4 and 6 by Christian teachers and students
there were prayers Bible sharing and hymn singing led by Christian teachers and Student Fellowship members in school assemblies Education Sunday school ceremonies as well as Christmas and Easter Services

212 Reflection
The traditional and invaluable spirit of sisterhood had been well nurtured and more established in the past school year with some further strengthening of the sister-forms system the continuing growth of mutual care and cooperation between sister-forms and the strengthening of bonds between students and the alumnae
Based on our existing persisting effort in nurturing sisterhood among students and even between our students and alumnae more and different attempts should still have to make to foster sisterhood among students of the same class the same form the same House within the whole school and even with the other True Light Schools in Hong Kong and Guangzhou Such endeavours could be made through the established mechanisms like the class associations the form associations the four Houses and the Student Union within our school while new initiatives should be sought for strengthening sisterhood among the True Light Schools
Sisterhood within our own school could still be further enhanced with various kinds of games activities and competitions organized at inter-class inter-form and inter-House levels including those very popular established practices like the Interclass Rope Skipping Competition the Interclass Tug-of-war Competition the Athletic Meet and the Swimming Gala It could be very useful and meaningful if more different kinds of inter-class inter-form or inter-House activities would be held like choral speaking debates ball games quizzes and drama festival It was good to have the revived attempts like re-organizing the Inter-House General Quiz and for each House to re-hold its own House Annual General Meeting to raise sisterhood in the House levels There are still more things the Houses could do like re-holding Orientation Gathering for S1 House members to foster sisterhood through the enhancement of the House spirit The Student Union may attempt to organize certain events like the Student Festival to enhance the school spirit of all students
Sisterhood could still be much enhanced through the sister-forms system especially for the sister classes of S2 and S5 More opportunities like sharing games competitions etc should still have to be created for students of the sister classes to have much closer encounters communication and cooperation
There had been certain attempts which could help nurturing sisterhood among the True Light Schools like holding student interflows co-organizing overseas study tours and drama workshops attending each otherrsquos school anniversary thanksgiving services and visiting our Alma Mater in Guangzhou Based on these good practices more attempts in the studentsrsquo level could still be tried out like re-holding the Joint True Light Schools Athletic Meet and organizing joint activities or competitions like debates quizzes and even a drama fest Such sisterhood within the True Light schools could facilitate our working together with greater collective efforts to reinforce the True Light legacies and to demonstrate them to the community
Satisfactory work had been done to facilitate students to learn more about the True Light history values and traditions in order to uphold and sustain the True Light legacies in students More creative and meaningful ways could still be attempted to motivate students to have genuine interests to know more about everything concerning True Light Taking True Light history spirit culture traditions and legacies as the main theme students could be asked to do researches or projects on the issue while even different kinds of competitions games days or carnivals could be held for the purpose
The religious atmosphere in the school had been greatly fostered all through the year with morning prayers religious practices in assemblies Student Fellowship activities and most importantly studentsrsquo religious education in classrooms It could still be further enhanced if students would be led to live with religious beliefs and values in their daily life encountering issues of personal and current affairs with the religious faith and perspectives
Students had been much facilitated to serve the society with training programmes to equip them with the necessary skills and knowledge with voluntary work for them to serve the needed and with commendation on their accomplishments in performing voluntary and community services It is our present practice to have different student bodies in school to organize voluntary services as a part of the annual programmes to provide students with the opportunities to serve the community It would be even more constructive if a Social Service Society could be newly formed to act as an individual student body focusing purely on doing different kinds of social and voluntary services It would be even more fruitful and helpful if students could take both a whole person development approach and a deep concern for our community when they contribute themselves in doing voluntary and community services Students should take their contribution to society as indispensable for their personal growth which should include not just doing community services but also their love care and concern for the development of the community

22 Learning Effectiveness Enhancement 221 Achievements
Major and further steps were taken earnestly by the school to carry on with the realization of the four foci emphasized in the 5-year School Development Plan (2012 ndash 2017) including well-developing studentsrsquo self-direct learning practices well-catering for studentsrsquo learning diversities broadening studentsrsquo learning horizons with cross-curricular learning and enhancing studentsrsquo learning in classroom with cooperative learning The following accomplishments were made with the strenuous and persistent collaborative effort contributed by the whole teaching staff
On developing well studentsrsquo self-direct learning practices students were helped in acquiring and developing self-direct learning skills and habits with the implementation of the e-Learning Pilot
Scheme and the making use of the eClass platform students in S1 and S2 were provided with plenty opportunities in the English lessons to familiarize themselves with the use of ipads
to help develop well their self-direct learning abilities and they found their learning of the English language had become doubly effective as the use of ipads could help them achieve their learning tasks and share their learning outcomes promptly and effectively
students were trained in their junior form study to well equip themselves in the use of ipads for self-direct learning as they were taught and drilled in their S1 to S3 Computer Literacy lessons on the basic use of ipads and process apps in order to cultivate their skills habits and confidence in making use of ipads for their self-direct learning
many Liberal Studies Geography and Science teachers had also made a very wide use of ipads in and outside the classrooms to enhance further studentsrsquo capabilities in using ipads for school learning as well as self-direct learning
studentsrsquo use of ipads in school had been much enhanced by the e-Learning Pilot Scheme which helped provide the WiFi network while the school showed its strong support through providing the additional ipads and process apps
students had also made good use of the eClass platform for their self-direct learning as they did their private study with the many self-direct learning packages prepared and uploaded by teachers of different subjects
students could conduct their self-explorative learning more effectively and conveniently in the newly established E-Learning Centre plans and steps to convert the MMLC into a self-access E-Learning Centre were taken since the start of the last academic year with
the major conversion works taken and completed during the Easter Holiday with school funding the newly established E-Learning Centre was installed with a full coverage of high speed WiFi access a
suitable number of 42 ipads and related furniture the E-Learning Centre started to open to students for their self-direct learning with the use of ipads after the Easter Holiday
students took the multi-functional Student TV as a self-direct learning platform and engaged themselves in it as effective learners by either producing or viewing the Student TV programme the True Light Student TV studio was established with a well-trained production team of students responsible for running different
channels under the supervision of a Supervisory Committee of teacher advisors programmes were produced and broadcast according to schedules for students for school news information and knowledge
building and the viewers mostly found the programmes satisfactory for their self-direct learning reading to learn was persistently promoted to facilitate studentsrsquo self-direct learning
prescribed reading booklists for students were duly prepared by different subject panels for each level and uploaded to either the subject web pages or the school library website and students generally found the prescribed reading could facilitate their self-direct learning
suitable i-books had been sought throughout the year and their subscription could only be made when there would be satisfactory i-books with reasonable costs offered in the market

On catering well for studentsrsquo learning diversities teachers had kept on adopting suitable teaching strategies to make classroom learning effective for students of different learning
abilities like arousing studentsrsquo learning motivation strengthening studentsrsquo language abilities providing students with various kinds of
exposure and it was a common practice for teachers to make use of graded questions and differentiated tasks to better match studentsrsquo abilities
preparing the high achievers for higher achievement by giving them more challenging tasks and learning activities during the lessons to provoke their high-order thinking setting bonus questions or worksheets and designing for them more demanding homework assignments
different learning programmes were provided for high achievers and weaker students like offering off-site courses in Chinese English Mathematics Liberal Studies Physics and Biology for NSS high-achieving students to
further enhance their learning abilities in these subjects arranging after-school tutorial classes for those junior form students who were weak in the main subjects
preparatory measures were attempted to tailor-make the school policies on catering for studentsrsquo learning diversities like joining the Learning Circle of Catering for Learning Diversities organized by EDB to keep interflow of ideas with other schools participating in the research on ldquoHong Kong In-service Teachersrsquo Self-efficacy and Readiness for Differentiated Instruction for
Diverse Learnersrsquo organized by the Faculty of Education of The Chinese University of Hong Kong to have a better understanding on the preparedness and readiness of our teachers at catering for learning diversities
taking the initiative within members of the Academic Standing Committee to prepare the school much better in catering for learning diversities like taking steps to further review the school policies and strategies on the issue to conduct a further study on studentsrsquo learning diversities and to coordinate the teaching strategies adopted by different subjects to cater for learning diversities
On broadening studentsrsquo learning horizons with cross-curricular learning the Language Across Curriculum project was implemented promoting cross-curricular learning with English as the teaching medium
a cross-panel Language Across Curriculum Coordinating Team was set up comprising of a Vice-principal four English teachers one Mathematics teachers and one Integrated Science teacher
with the advice and guidance of a hired consultant teachers of the LAC team had worked out and developed a total of 24 cross-curricular learning and teaching packages on English Mathematics and Integrated Science for the junior form students including worksheets on both language and content items as well as interactive activities and games to be used in lessons
these learning and teaching materials would be fully utilized in the new school year while they would also serve as examples for other EMI subjects to develop cross-curricular learning materials with English
the 24 LAC teaching and learning packages with interactive learning activities and graded exercises on English History and Geography were successfully put into practice in the junior form lessons
the annual Cross-curricular Learning Day activities were carried successfully on 21st February providing students with task-oriented learning opportunities to learn more effectively and creatively without subject boundaries like
lsquoThe Changing Face of Centralrsquo (S1) lsquoWhatrsquos on the Menursquo (S2) lsquoField Study in Kingrsquos Parkrsquo (S3) lsquoLearning Positive Traits from Famous Peoplersquo (S4) and lsquoWorking Realityrsquo (S5)
studentsrsquo language proficiency had been greatly enhanced as students had to accomplish tasks like writing and orally presenting reports in their Cross-curricular Learning Day activities
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014
- 16 -
initial steps to develop tailor-made curricula to promote cross-curricular learning were taken as subject panels especially those within the same key learning areas were encouraged to identify suitable cross-curricular topics
across subjects some teachers especially those within the same key learning areas were encouraged to include cross-curricular elements in their
collaborative teaching plans On enhancing studentsrsquo learning in classroom with cooperative learning many teachers had participated quite actively in many professional development activities concerning cooperative learning including
peer lesson observation experience sharing on the practice of the related teaching strategies
many teachers had included cooperative elements in their lessons like including cooperative learning elements in their collaborative teaching plans practicing cooperative learning more in junior form lessons
students were equipped with cooperative learning skills in junior forms Liberal Studies lessons with high demands of interactive learning and creativity were taken as the most appropriate platform for
students to start acquiring and practicing cooperative learning skills in junior forms cooperative learning was also quite frequently applied in S1-S3 classrooms especially by teachers of subjects like English History
Integrated Science and Geography
222 Reflection Studentsrsquo self-directed learning practices had developed quite satisfactorily in the past school year through the wide practice of
e-learning the making good use of the Student TV and the insistence on reading to learn but there is still plenty room for improvement Both teachers and students should have some better understanding of the real benefits and strategies of self-directed learning for
enhancing learning effectiveness There should be more professional development on self-directed learning for teachers including both the philosophies and teaching strategies Teachers should engage students meaningfully and effectively in their self-directed learning to compensate for the lack of sufficient time for students to learn just in the classroom Students on the other hand should still have to develop the habit of self-directed learning so that they could learn more widely and freely beyond the constraints of classroom learning
To develop e-learning for effective self-directed learning it is very necessary to have the sufficient provision of both the hardware and software For hardware more ipads should be provided for students for the convenience of their mobile learning and classroom sharing and plans should be taken to cover the whole school campus with WiFi access Both teachers and students should be encouraged to use the newly established E-Learning Centre for lessons or self-directed learning As for software teachers should be given more room and support to enable them to prepare more e-learning lessons and teaching packages as well as self-access learning materials or packages for studentsrsquo self-directed learning More suitable apps for educational and instructional purposes should have been purchased
The Student TV should still be much better developed as an effective platform for studentsrsquo self-directed learning To produce better programmes both in quantity and quality for self-directed learning more and more students should be trained and supported to become more active in producing and broadcasting self-direct learning programmes for students More broadcasting time should be given while it will be more useful if students could have more and easier accesses to programmes produced by the Student TV

To promote self-directed learning through reading a more enriched reading atmosphere in school should still be enhanced Students should be much encouraged to make good use of the prescribed reading lists for their self-directed academic pursuit by asking them to provide diffused information acquired from prescribed readings to accomplish their assignments or by giving them bonus term marks Persistent efforts in finding and subscribing suitable ibooks for students should still be attempted to facilitate studentsrsquo self-direct learning
The increasing needs in catering for studentsrsquo learning diversities require both the school and the teachers to take more appropriate actions teachers should further develop a better awareness of the importance of catering for learner differences as both effective and
indispensable in helping all students not just the low achievers they should be encouraged to participate actively in learning circles of teachers of the same or other schools to develop suitable and effective strategies to be applied in classrooms for the purpose
the school should take steps to look into the real situation of learning diversities of our students and to work out school-based policies and development programmes to equip the school and the teachers with the necessary knowledge and strategies to enhance studentsrsquo learning through catering for their learning diversities
both the teachers and school should also prepare themselves to provide help and support to those students with special education needs who have been growing in number in recent years
Based on the contemporary success in making use of cross-curricular learning to enhance studentsrsquo learning effectiveness some better measures could still be taken to enrich and improve the Cross Curricular Learning Day activities to refine the attempts at developing and implementing the Language Across Curriculum and to working out a practical school-based curriculum for cross-curricular learning the Cross-curricular Learning Day in providing students with task-oriented or theme-based leaning opportunities should also
integrate other ingredients to develop students as effective learners like learning outside the classroom and enhancing their skills in e-learning mobile learning as well as self-directed learning
cross-curricular learning through Language Across Curriculum should include not just English with History Geography Mathematics and Integrated Science but also with all other EMI academic subjects so that both the language and the academic subjects could reinforce one another in studentsrsquo learning and there should be better coordination to facilitate teachersrsquo cooperation and to incorporate well the LAC lessons into the teaching schedules of the subjects concerned
subject panels should be much encouraged and supported to review their curricula to identify suitable topics and themes for cross-curricular learning in order to work out the school-based tailor-made cross-curricular learning curricula
Cooperative learning should still be further enforced especially in junior forms in order to familiarize students in the earliest stage of the secondary school study with the unique learning skills and styles and teachers should still be much encouraged and facilitated to widely practice cooperative learning by providing them with the necessary materials needed for cooperative learning requiring them to work with each other in collaborative teaching to work out and implement the teaching plans with cooperative learning elements and asking them to start with the junior forms to try out the strategies for cooperative learning

23 Gifted Education Development
231 Achievements With sufficient preparatory work in the previous year this academic year saw the progressive development of gifted education in True Light Girls College With concerted efforts of the Committee members new initiatives were raised and relevant issues and concerns were explored On the administrative level The Gifted Education Committee was officially formed The committee set up gifted education policy and implemented certain projects in
the year Aiming to identify students gifted in different domains and provide suitable learning opportunities for them talent pools in S2 and S3 were
set up focusing on performance of eight domains namely Chinese English Mathematics Science Music Physical Education Art and Leadership In each domain of each form 16 students were selected as gifted by respective subject teachers or class teachers The talent pools were made accessible for all teachers so that all of them could identify gifted students in certain domains when necessary
Towards the end of the academic year talent pools were updated for the new academic year A system was developed for managing the ongoing pull-out programmes The system categorized the running programmes concerned
on subject-based criteria On students level In this year the nomination process of students to join off-site enrichment and extension programmes provided by Gifted Education
Section of EDB the Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education local tertiary institutions and universities was carried out smoothly A leadership training programme was successfully organized in August 2014 for potential student leaders All S4 students were assigned to join The Hong Kong Award for Young People (AYP) which is a scheme promoting all-round
development and exploring ones talent and potential One committee member teacher was assigned to each of the 4 classes to monitor students completion of the scheme
Two talks were held for students throughout the year One aimed at informing S4 students of the rationale and implementation of AYP Another one is for S2 and S3 students introducing the rationale of talent pool and how students should go all out to develop their talents
On teachers level Teachers were invited to contribute to the development of talent pool During the process they were introduced the definition of
giftedness and some selective criteria of gifted students
On parents level Mr Patrick Lam Associate Director of the Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education was invited to be the guest speaker of a seminar for
parents on Parents Day in February The talk introduced the ideas of giftedness and it received positive responses from the parents

232 Reflection
The goals set were achieved well in the previous academic year It is deemed that improvements on certain areas of the Committee could be made for future development of gifted education in breadth and depth All members of the group should have a basic and unanimous understanding as to how gifted education is defined and how its
development is implemented on the school level It is time for all members to receive further training provided by the Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education Core members of the group should receive more advanced training especially on the administrative level More meetings and informal exchanges should take place for achieving such an aim
With the development of the talent pool it should be introduced to all teaching staff thoroughly so that they are more aware of its existence and use
AYP is to be implemented in both S4 and S5 Last year the completion rate of the scheme was not satisfactory as teachers in charge found it difficult to monitor students progress frequently and regularly Next year AYP ambassadors will be assigned in all S4 and S5 classes It is hoped that they can facilitate the monitoring work as well as the promotional work of relevant activities
Gifted education in classroom is one of the concerns of the Committee A staff development programme regarding high-order thinking skills is to be held in next year helping teachers familiarize themselves with how such skills can be developed among students in classroom
24 Career Education Enrichment
241 Achievements This is the second year of the 5-year School Development Plan 2012-2017 This is a good opportunity for students teachers and parents to understand the importance of career education for the student development through organizing and participating in different programmes This year a wide variety of programmes were organized for all stakeholders to be equipped in career education These should be helpful for students to pursue their own goals with the support from their parents and teachers On enhancing professional development of teachers on career education a staff development programme on Implementation of Career Education in Secondary School was organized for all teachers on 6

as visiting RTHK attending a CEO talk from KCS and a public lecture on ldquoExplore the World of Medicinerdquo Some students found the participation in the OLE activities inspired them in setting up their own goals Reflections on goal set up for
study and career can be seen in S6 studentsrsquo Student Learning Profile and the OEA
242 Reflection The school has been promoting career education to the stakeholders at school Even though there were difficulties in the implementation phase it was a good start Some teachers may not fully understand the importance of career education to all students More professional development on career
guidance should be provided to teachers so that they will be better equipped for providing more comprehensive support to the students More CRE activities were organized but the teachers could better help the students to consolidate their learning and relate their
experiences to career planning so as to arouse studentsrsquo awareness to the importance of career planning For the Career Education Curriculum it would be introduced in S3 in 2014-2015 Students could have an earlier awareness which can
help them make a more informed choice for their study and career

3 Learning and Teaching 31 Learning Experiences
Our students have been with pride and perseverance putting the call of the School Mission into their daily learning as they always tend to lsquothink
independentlyrsquo and lsquolearn proactivelyrsquo in their academic pursuit Taking such approaches in learning both in and outside the classroom students find that they could make the most out of their various learning experiences as they striving for the best academic performance
Through their daily learning in classroom students did not just acquire knowledge subject-wise while developing their various generic skills they
could also learn to treasure important universal values when they came across the core elements in value education including moral civic and environmental education which had been immerged with the different subjects they studied These invaluable learning experiences could help students establish correct and positive attitudes towards life which is very useful for them to live and enrich their everyday life and to foster their whole person development
Students became very effective learners in and outside the classroom with the help of information technology When in classrooms students
were highly engaged in each lesson with teachers making the frequent use of various information technology devices like the computing system the electronic whiteboard the Simultaneous Response System and the overhead projector as well as different audio-visual aids to enrich their learning experiences Students could also make use of various e-learning provisions in school to conduct their own self-directed learning outside the classroom In recent years students could study with the e-learning packages uploaded to the eClass platform by their subject teachers and conduct their private study with the help of the computer in the Computer Room Since last Easter students could also use ipads for their self-directed study in the newly-established E-Learning Centre
Junior form studentsrsquo learning in classrooms was also much facilitated with some new ingredients inserted in their lessons For instance students
in S1 and S2 could learn with ipads in English lessons to accomplish their learning tasks and to share promptly and effectively their learning outcomes with classmates Junior form students attending Liberal Studies Integrated Science and Computer Literacy periods would also often find themselves learning lively and actively through ipads
Furthermore junior form students had also come across with a new learning experience in their Language across Curriculum lessons with
subjects like English Mathematics History Geography and Integrated Science Learning with the tailor-made cross-curricular materials which include innovative worksheets as well as interactive games and activities students found it marvelous as their study of the English language and the subject content of Mathematics Science and Humanities could reinforce each other
Drama education was introduced as a new element in the English learning of junior form students with the hope that this integration of the
lsquodramarsquo elements in the English periods would make the lessons more impressive and appealing to students while students could learn in a more creative and interactive way the listening writing reading and speaking skills in the learning of the language
Junior form students had also got used to making use of cooperative learning in class to help maximize their learning effectiveness and outcomes
especially in lessons of English Liberal Studies History and Geography For senior form students there was still a strong tendency for them to take less than three elective subjects in their NSS study In this school year
after their application for dropping elective subjects had been approved after the last Final Examination there are now 58 students in S5 and 92 students in S6 studying less than three elective subjects Meanwhile there are already 11 students in S4 studying only two elective subjects many were S4 repeaters who could only take two elective subjects for their study Moreover there are only 7 students (out of 37) still studied M1 in S6 while a total of 18 (out of 36) had withdrawn their study of M2
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014
- 22 -
With the growing dropping rate of M1 and M2 in S5 and S6 there would only be a class of students admitted to S4 this year given the opportunity to study the Mathematics extensions but this study would only take place after they have been promoted to S5 In the meantime those S6 and S5 students who had withdrawn their study of an elective subject had still to attend supplementary Chinese and English lessons two periods for each language per cycle in the first term or the second term respectively For other spare periods these students had to conduct their self-directed learning in the school library while class and subject teachers were well aware of giving them more and better support through guidance or providing them with more supplementary work or exercises Those students who had withdrawn from studying the Mathematics extension parts had to attend supplementary Mathematics (Core) lessons to concentrate on improving their performance in the subject
Senior form students could also have other learning experiences within their normal lessons like Religious Education lessons for Moral amp Civic
Education PE lessons for Physical Development Career Education lessons in S4 for Career-Related Experiences as well as Aesthetic Development lessons For Career Education though it was not included as normal lessons in S5 and S6 it had still been implemented for the students as immersed programmes conducted in class teachersrsquo periods or assembly time for S5 and S6
Besides learning through the formal curriculum in classrooms students also learned without boundaries outside the classroom They took part
actively in the Cross-curricular Learning Day learning across subject boundaries in the form of thematic study like lsquoThe Changing Face of Centralrsquo (S1) lsquoWhatrsquos on the Menursquo (S2) lsquoField Study in Kingrsquos Parkrsquo (S3) lsquoLearning Positive Traits from Famous Peoplersquo (S4) and lsquoWorking Realityrsquo (S5) Moreover students enjoyed something like a knowledge carnival in the re-organized Inter-House General Quiz when both the House teams and the House members as audience were asked of questions from all the subjects they studied
Students also learned in a lively and creative way and gained significantly when they participated in some exchange or interflow activities or
attended the various enrichment or enhancement courses organized by the school or when they acquired other learning experiences outside the classroom
Students were given the opportunities to learn in other schools when they joined in some student interflow schemes like the Local Student
Exchange Scheme co-organized with Hong Kong True Light Middle School on April 1-3 2014 as well as with Queen Elizabeth School on April 9-10 2014 Students had also twice the time to have interflows with students from Guangzhou True Light Middle School on November 6-7 2013 and April 30 2014 Students who had become buddies of the student visitors from other schools could have especially gone through some brand new and unforgettable learning experiences
The Capacity Enhancement Grant (CEG) and the Diversity Learning (DLG) were well made use of to provide students with extra support to
further enrich their knowledge to enhance better their learning capacity and develop deeper their interests and skills Through CEG there were Enrichment Courses for S1-S3 Gifted Students in Mathematics an Interactive Drama Performance Course for S2 students Drama Courses to enhance S4 and S5 students in their English Learning Chinese Debating Courses for S2 to S4 students Physics Courses on lsquoArchitecture amp Mechanicsrsquo and lsquoElectromagnetismrsquo biotechnology experiments for Biology students in senior forms a Beginner Digital Photography Course and Student TV Training Course Through DLG there included a Learning English through Debating Extension Course a Learning English through Social Issues and Pop Culture Extension Course workshops on Chinese writing and composition Biology courses on lsquoForensic Sciencersquo and lsquoBiotechnology Experimentsrsquo and Mathematics and Liberal Studies enhancement courses for NSS students
Studentsrsquo knowledge horizons were also broadened when they participated in a variety of extra-curricular or co-curricular activities like visits
field trips and study tours abroad like to Singapore in January 2014 on Environmental Historical Cultural and English studies to mainland China (Beijing) for Cultural Studies and to Taiwan on Music Interfow Different subject panels had also worked through their respective academic societies to provide various innovative life-wide learning activities to arouse studentsrsquo interests and to enhance their ability in learning the disciplines Talks of academics or scholars had also been organized to help arouse studentsrsquo social consciousness and academic concerns

32 Teaching Strategies Our teachers had been incessantly acquiring and attempting to put into practice different kinds of teaching strategies to cater for the various
learning needs of our students in order to help them achieve the best learning outcomes Teachers always took up the role of facilitators in classrooms focusing at constructing an interactive classroom in order to arouse studentsrsquo learning motivation and help encourage their proactive learning Students were provided with various stimuli to help their learning like providing them with different scenarios to inspire them to explore every possible method to solve problems asking them graded and high order thinking questions to enhance their creativity and critical thinking skills and giving them carefully designed differentiated and challenging tasks to enrich their useful and meaningful learning opportunities in classrooms Teachers also provided timely and constructive feedbacks and compliments to students as recognition and reinforcement of their learning outcomes
Teachers also tended to have frequent applications of various information technology techniques and devices like the computing systems
visualizers ipads as well as the electronic whiteboards with the simultaneous response system to help reinforce their teaching strategies in creating a more interactive and effective learning environment to make learning and teaching more effective Teachers had been looking into the possibility of making a wider use of e-learning strategies like providing students with e-learning packages and resources through the eClass platform introducing e-textbooks to students and subscribing for them i-books for self-directed learning The first task had been taken for a few years while the other two tasks were still put under study
To improve the teaching strategies on catering for learning diversities our school had joined with other schools in the Learning Circle of Catering
for Learning Diversities organized by EDB to keep an interflow of related ideas and strategies with other schools The school had also participated in the research on ldquoHong Kong In-service Teachersrsquo Self-efficacy and Readiness for Differentiated Instruction for Diverse Learnersrsquo organized by the Faculty of Education of The Chinese University of Hong Kong in order to have a better understanding on the preparedness and readiness of our teachers at catering for learning diversities
Our teachers had also engaged themselves in an active sharing of teaching strategies as they contributed proactively their articles to the
publication of a Collection of Teaching Recollections of Teachers of True Light Girlsrsquo College called lsquoTrue Light Sharingrsquo in the last school year As seen from the four sections in the book teachers of different subjects shared with their colleagues and teachers of other schools their teaching plans lesson tips glowing new ideas in teaching as well as some teaching reflections
Teachers had been actively making use of the Collaborative Teaching Scheme and the Common Free Periods to work together and to learn from
each other for the purpose of refining and further developing their teaching strategies Through the Collaborative Teaching Scheme teachers teaching the same subjects or within the same KLA worked in teams each consisting of two or three teachers to work out and implement together some teaching plans with peer lesson observation and evaluation Specific attention was paid to develop teaching strategies for cross-curricular and cooperative learning while the scheming of student-oriented lessons to enhance active student involvement and learning autonomy was also emphasized with concerns for provoking high-order thinking and catering for learning diversities Common free periods were arranged when setting the timetables for teachers of English Chinese Mathematics and NSS Liberal Studies at each level to enhance their professional teaching collaboration in their lesson preparation and implementation Other subject teachers had mostly taken their own initiative to arrange for themselves the same practice for their professional sharing and development
To further enhance the effectiveness of our teaching strategies in order to bring about satisfactory learning outcomes of students it is still
necessary for our teachers to acquire improve and implement the teaching strategies concerning catering for learning diversities of high achievers low achievers as well as students with special education needs Steps have also to be taken to tailor-make the curriculum of different subjects for meaningful cross-curricular learning Cooperative learning should still be widely practiced not just in junior forms and for only some subjects More importantly teachers should acquire more knowledge and skills in fostering studentsrsquo self-directed learning which includes the use of teaching strategies to facilitate the e-learning and mobile learning of students

33 Assessment Studentsrsquo academic performance and learning outcomes had been continuously assessed by different modes of homework assignments quizzes
term tests and examinations Assessment for learning was greatly emphasized when giving students homework assignments to help consolidate their subject knowledge and
what they had learned in classroom Assignments which included various kinds like workbooks worksheets essay writing surveys projects case studies reports book reviews and newspaper cuttings etc were duly designed with diversified tasks and questions of varied difficulties Improvement could still be made in designing assignments to cater better for studentsrsquo diversified learning needs to adopt wider modes of assessment like self peer and parent assessments and to help students to conduct their self-directed study
To help students to put great emphasis on doing well their homework in order to consolidate their learning outcomes the Homework Submission
Scheme was adopted and implemented in these recent years to make students do and submit their homework assignments properly Together with the homework policies of different subject panels which often included mark deduction for late submission of assignments students had become more punctual and orderly in their homework submission To further encourage students to do well their homework assignments in order to achieve satisfactory learning outcomes the Most Outstanding Homework Performance Award Scheme was still carried out and a total of 44 and 52 students were awarded in the first term and the second term respectively
To have a better supervision from the school management and the subject panel heads on homework assignments to students including the
content and marking of the assignments the assignment inspection policy was carried out which required the subject panel heads to supervise the panel members over their making use of homework assignments in achieving their teaching objectives Panel heads could make use of the standard record forms of assignment inspection to see into the quality and the quantity of the assignments given by teachers and to evaluate the marking of the teachers and the ways they gave the comments and feedbacks The subject panel heads also had to submit their studentsrsquo assignments to the school management for the same kind of inspection
Besides assessment assignments studentsrsquo annual academic performance in school was formally assessed through tests and examinations
which made up the term marks and the examination marks of studentsrsquo annual scores respectively There were two examinations for each level of students every year For tests there were at least two assessments (testassignmentproject) for each subject within each term For junior forms there should be at least one test in the first term and preferably two tests in the second term while for senior forms the two assessments each term should be tests
The New Senior Secondary Curriculum provided teachers with great challenges in different aspects including assessment Teachers had been
especially careful to be accurate in using the standard referencing system to assess students on the levels they attained in different assessments and different subjects Two attempts were still made in the last school year to help teachers to conduct their level marking more confidently The first was to keep joining the HKDSE Mock Examination Papers Exchange Scheme organized by the Association of Principals of Secondary Schools of the Hong Kong Council of the Church of Christ in China Subject teachers who had joined the Scheme found it very helpful to conduct level marking by taking the marking criteria set by other schools as reference and examples The other attempt was to predict for students their levels of attainment in different subjects after the S6 Mid-year Examination and students were given their predicted grades on S6 Parentsrsquo Day as a way to help the students as well as their parents to prepare better for the Mock Examination and HKDSE The school joined for the second time the Pilot Study on Predicted Levels of 2014 Core Subjects (CEML) conducted by the Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority to study on the reliability of our prediction of
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014
- 25 -
studentsrsquo CEML subjects to evaluate teachersrsquo accuracy in level marking while reliable predicted grades will be useful for managing the expectation of students and their parents The School Report of the pilot study showed that there was a satisfactorily high correlation between the predicted grades awarded by our teachers to students and the actual level attained by students in 2014 HKDSE showing that teachers had a good understanding and knowledge on standard referencing and their level marking performance was very reliable
To match much better the level attainment system adopted by the New Senior Secondary Curriculum with the traditional marking system which
was revealed in studentsrsquo Academic Reports it was decided that the passing mark in senior form subjects would be changed from 50 to 40 of the total mark Such a change could also better reflect the possible level attainment obtained by students in HKDSE
Teachers were also very cautious in taking sophisticated procedures in conducting the School-based Assessment in the New Senior Secondary
Curriculum Students were assessed on the same tasks and with the same assessment criteria To achieve this students were given common SBA tasks across classes and the same standard of assessment The same criteria for awarding marks to all students were applied and in doing so consultation among teachers to align the marking criteria was often conducted and trial marking of samples of studentsrsquo work was constantly carried out Marks given were adjusted whenever necessary to ensure consistence of assessment standard Reference materials and archive materials were used to help standardizing marking Proper and sufficient guidance and supervision was provided to students to ensure the quality and authenticity of their work There was feedback and advice on improvement to students after the completion of marking to provide them with a fruitful learning experience

On further enhancing the spirit of sisterhood the sister class system as bonds amongst the sister classes had been much fortified
S1 Form Association Inauguration Ceremony held on 31 March 2014 provided the good opportunity to strengthen sisterhood of S1 and S4 sister classes as S1 students received great help and support from their elder school sisters in S4 in preparing for the various performances in the ceremony which included choir singing dancing English drama English and Putonghua choral verse speaking
sisterhood among the sister classes of S3 and S6 was much nurtured as S3 students showed their gratitude towards their elder school sisters in S6 by preparing for them hand-made souvenirs upon their graduation
S1 students were provided with care and guidance in school programmes from their senior school sisters S1 students were given help and support from their elder school sisters in S1 Orientation Days elder schoolmates in S3 or S4 served also as student mentors in the S1 Mentoring Programme to help their younger S1 school

On upholding and sustaining the fine True Light legacies students were acquainted with True Light legacies through learning more about the school history
the Religious Education curricula in S1 S4 and S5 had been revised to include school history for students to learn more about the values and beliefs the school had been practicing
students in general could learn more about the True Light legacies by visiting the School Chapel cum School History Archive which displays rich relics and information of the history of our own school True Light Girlsrsquo College and by visiting also the True Light History Gallery with exhibits showing the history of our Alma Mater as well as the constant interflow and cooperation of True Light schools in Guangzhou and Hong Kong while the School Chapel cum School History Archive was taken as the most suitable venue for students in S1 to have school history lessons and for S4 students to conduct their self-directed study on school history
students of S1 S4 and S5 were guided in Religious Education lessons to study the Chinese version of the book ldquoA Light in the
Land of Sinimrdquo (《光在華夏》) written by the school founder Harriet Noyes to know more about the original True Light beliefs and
spirit and to write reflections as assignments through the TLGC 40th Anniversary publication called ldquoEncountering True Lightrdquo (《遇見真光》) which the S6 students received as the
school souvenirs for their graduation the impact of True Light legacies on many True Light people who had shared their testimonies of their True Light experiences in the book was felt more impressively by the graduates who would be more convicted in living up with the True Light spirits even after leaving school
students were facilitated to live up to the ideal True Light values which were reinforced through the moral and civic education they received in and outside the classroom subjects like Chinese Life Education and Religious Education lessons carried some immersed teaching of moral and civic
education which reflected also the True Light values there were even greater opportunities for students to learn more about core and universal values on hearing guest speakers share
their ideas in school assemblies by participating actively in OLE programmes to widen their horizons and by joining educational trips to learn more widely from people of different places in the world
True Light traditions were reinforced with various school practices and programmes as students were familiarized with the traditional True Light songs and hymns they learnt in Music lessons the school followed the True Light tradition to hold for the first time the S6 Form Association Night on 27 June 2014 evening as a rite
of passage for the graduates to share their school memories and to strengthen their bonds with the school and with each other the Lantern Passing Ceremony was held within the S6 Form Association Night as a True Light traditional ritual for members of the
True Light family to witness how the graduates had grown up with the blessings and education of True Light traditions and how these traditions would then be carried on by their school sisters in school as shown by the passing of the True Light Torch from S6 graduates to S5 students in the ceremony
it has been the tradition of our own school for our S6 graduates to have their Farewell Assembly and it was held on S6 last school day 28 February 2014 with the help of the Religious Education Committee
On fostering the religious atmosphere in the school religious elements were integrated in routine and daily school activities
as morning prayers had been said at around 59 times in the last school year usually on Days 3 4 and 6 by Christian teachers and students
there were prayers Bible sharing and hymn singing led by Christian teachers and Student Fellowship members in school assemblies Education Sunday school ceremonies as well as Christmas and Easter Services

the Student Fellowship played its key role in fostering the religious atmosphere the Junior Fellowship and the Senior Fellowship met regularly for religious activities and sharing the student official members of the two Fellowships had their frequent religious sharing meetings a Gospel Day was organized before the Christmas holidays for students and teachers the LIGHT Summer Camp (4-672014) and a Training Day Camp (2982014) were held to help students reflect on relationships
with God and with each other while teams relationships and problem solving skills were also nurtured the Religious Education and Music curricula were reviewed and modified as
thematic studies like those on lsquoloversquo and lsquomeanings of lifersquo were included in the Religious Education curriculum for different levels of students to learn about religion in a lively and collective way
hymns with their rich religious meanings were taught and sung in Music lessons Collaboration with preachers from churches in organizing religious activities and leadership training
A network with HKCCC Hop Yat Church (Kowloon Church) Mongkok Church and Mandarin Church which was helpful and supportive to the holding of religious activities in our school
preachers from various neighbouring churches had helped in many of our religious studies like Teacher Retreat Education Sunday Bible sharing and giving religious services
On enhancing studentsrsquo contribution to society community or voluntary service training programmes were designed and implemented to equip S4 students and student leaders with the
necessary skills and techniques and to engage them in providing the services the Service Learning Programme was introduced to S4 students as a part of their school learning and all S4 students had to
participate in the programme so as to broaden their horizons and arouse their awareness of the needs in the society a Leadership Training Programme was arranged for all student organizers to help them design and organize the service
programmes Students of different levels were facilitated to take part in community service programmes to serve the needy

212 Reflection
The traditional and invaluable spirit of sisterhood had been well nurtured and more established in the past school year with some further strengthening of the sister-forms system the continuing growth of mutual care and cooperation between sister-forms and the strengthening of bonds between students and the alumnae
Based on our existing persisting effort in nurturing sisterhood among students and even between our students and alumnae more and different attempts should still have to make to foster sisterhood among students of the same class the same form the same House within the whole school and even with the other True Light Schools in Hong Kong and Guangzhou Such endeavours could be made through the established mechanisms like the class associations the form associations the four Houses and the Student Union within our school while new initiatives should be sought for strengthening sisterhood among the True Light Schools
Sisterhood within our own school could still be further enhanced with various kinds of games activities and competitions organized at inter-class inter-form and inter-House levels including those very popular established practices like the Interclass Rope Skipping Competition the Interclass Tug-of-war Competition the Athletic Meet and the Swimming Gala It could be very useful and meaningful if more different kinds of inter-class inter-form or inter-House activities would be held like choral speaking debates ball games quizzes and drama festival It was good to have the revived attempts like re-organizing the Inter-House General Quiz and for each House to re-hold its own House Annual General Meeting to raise sisterhood in the House levels There are still more things the Houses could do like re-holding Orientation Gathering for S1 House members to foster sisterhood through the enhancement of the House spirit The Student Union may attempt to organize certain events like the Student Festival to enhance the school spirit of all students
Sisterhood could still be much enhanced through the sister-forms system especially for the sister classes of S2 and S5 More opportunities like sharing games competitions etc should still have to be created for students of the sister classes to have much closer encounters communication and cooperation
There had been certain attempts which could help nurturing sisterhood among the True Light Schools like holding student interflows co-organizing overseas study tours and drama workshops attending each otherrsquos school anniversary thanksgiving services and visiting our Alma Mater in Guangzhou Based on these good practices more attempts in the studentsrsquo level could still be tried out like re-holding the Joint True Light Schools Athletic Meet and organizing joint activities or competitions like debates quizzes and even a drama fest Such sisterhood within the True Light schools could facilitate our working together with greater collective efforts to reinforce the True Light legacies and to demonstrate them to the community
Satisfactory work had been done to facilitate students to learn more about the True Light history values and traditions in order to uphold and sustain the True Light legacies in students More creative and meaningful ways could still be attempted to motivate students to have genuine interests to know more about everything concerning True Light Taking True Light history spirit culture traditions and legacies as the main theme students could be asked to do researches or projects on the issue while even different kinds of competitions games days or carnivals could be held for the purpose
The religious atmosphere in the school had been greatly fostered all through the year with morning prayers religious practices in assemblies Student Fellowship activities and most importantly studentsrsquo religious education in classrooms It could still be further enhanced if students would be led to live with religious beliefs and values in their daily life encountering issues of personal and current affairs with the religious faith and perspectives
Students had been much facilitated to serve the society with training programmes to equip them with the necessary skills and knowledge with voluntary work for them to serve the needed and with commendation on their accomplishments in performing voluntary and community services It is our present practice to have different student bodies in school to organize voluntary services as a part of the annual programmes to provide students with the opportunities to serve the community It would be even more constructive if a Social Service Society could be newly formed to act as an individual student body focusing purely on doing different kinds of social and voluntary services It would be even more fruitful and helpful if students could take both a whole person development approach and a deep concern for our community when they contribute themselves in doing voluntary and community services Students should take their contribution to society as indispensable for their personal growth which should include not just doing community services but also their love care and concern for the development of the community

22 Learning Effectiveness Enhancement 221 Achievements
Major and further steps were taken earnestly by the school to carry on with the realization of the four foci emphasized in the 5-year School Development Plan (2012 ndash 2017) including well-developing studentsrsquo self-direct learning practices well-catering for studentsrsquo learning diversities broadening studentsrsquo learning horizons with cross-curricular learning and enhancing studentsrsquo learning in classroom with cooperative learning The following accomplishments were made with the strenuous and persistent collaborative effort contributed by the whole teaching staff
On developing well studentsrsquo self-direct learning practices students were helped in acquiring and developing self-direct learning skills and habits with the implementation of the e-Learning Pilot
Scheme and the making use of the eClass platform students in S1 and S2 were provided with plenty opportunities in the English lessons to familiarize themselves with the use of ipads
to help develop well their self-direct learning abilities and they found their learning of the English language had become doubly effective as the use of ipads could help them achieve their learning tasks and share their learning outcomes promptly and effectively
students were trained in their junior form study to well equip themselves in the use of ipads for self-direct learning as they were taught and drilled in their S1 to S3 Computer Literacy lessons on the basic use of ipads and process apps in order to cultivate their skills habits and confidence in making use of ipads for their self-direct learning
many Liberal Studies Geography and Science teachers had also made a very wide use of ipads in and outside the classrooms to enhance further studentsrsquo capabilities in using ipads for school learning as well as self-direct learning
studentsrsquo use of ipads in school had been much enhanced by the e-Learning Pilot Scheme which helped provide the WiFi network while the school showed its strong support through providing the additional ipads and process apps
students had also made good use of the eClass platform for their self-direct learning as they did their private study with the many self-direct learning packages prepared and uploaded by teachers of different subjects
students could conduct their self-explorative learning more effectively and conveniently in the newly established E-Learning Centre plans and steps to convert the MMLC into a self-access E-Learning Centre were taken since the start of the last academic year with
the major conversion works taken and completed during the Easter Holiday with school funding the newly established E-Learning Centre was installed with a full coverage of high speed WiFi access a
suitable number of 42 ipads and related furniture the E-Learning Centre started to open to students for their self-direct learning with the use of ipads after the Easter Holiday

On catering well for studentsrsquo learning diversities teachers had kept on adopting suitable teaching strategies to make classroom learning effective for students of different learning
abilities like arousing studentsrsquo learning motivation strengthening studentsrsquo language abilities providing students with various kinds of
exposure and it was a common practice for teachers to make use of graded questions and differentiated tasks to better match studentsrsquo abilities
preparing the high achievers for higher achievement by giving them more challenging tasks and learning activities during the lessons to provoke their high-order thinking setting bonus questions or worksheets and designing for them more demanding homework assignments
different learning programmes were provided for high achievers and weaker students like offering off-site courses in Chinese English Mathematics Liberal Studies Physics and Biology for NSS high-achieving students to
further enhance their learning abilities in these subjects arranging after-school tutorial classes for those junior form students who were weak in the main subjects
preparatory measures were attempted to tailor-make the school policies on catering for studentsrsquo learning diversities like joining the Learning Circle of Catering for Learning Diversities organized by EDB to keep interflow of ideas with other schools participating in the research on ldquoHong Kong In-service Teachersrsquo Self-efficacy and Readiness for Differentiated Instruction for
Diverse Learnersrsquo organized by the Faculty of Education of The Chinese University of Hong Kong to have a better understanding on the preparedness and readiness of our teachers at catering for learning diversities
taking the initiative within members of the Academic Standing Committee to prepare the school much better in catering for learning diversities like taking steps to further review the school policies and strategies on the issue to conduct a further study on studentsrsquo learning diversities and to coordinate the teaching strategies adopted by different subjects to cater for learning diversities
On broadening studentsrsquo learning horizons with cross-curricular learning the Language Across Curriculum project was implemented promoting cross-curricular learning with English as the teaching medium
a cross-panel Language Across Curriculum Coordinating Team was set up comprising of a Vice-principal four English teachers one Mathematics teachers and one Integrated Science teacher
with the advice and guidance of a hired consultant teachers of the LAC team had worked out and developed a total of 24 cross-curricular learning and teaching packages on English Mathematics and Integrated Science for the junior form students including worksheets on both language and content items as well as interactive activities and games to be used in lessons
these learning and teaching materials would be fully utilized in the new school year while they would also serve as examples for other EMI subjects to develop cross-curricular learning materials with English
the 24 LAC teaching and learning packages with interactive learning activities and graded exercises on English History and Geography were successfully put into practice in the junior form lessons
the annual Cross-curricular Learning Day activities were carried successfully on 21st February providing students with task-oriented learning opportunities to learn more effectively and creatively without subject boundaries like
lsquoThe Changing Face of Centralrsquo (S1) lsquoWhatrsquos on the Menursquo (S2) lsquoField Study in Kingrsquos Parkrsquo (S3) lsquoLearning Positive Traits from Famous Peoplersquo (S4) and lsquoWorking Realityrsquo (S5)
studentsrsquo language proficiency had been greatly enhanced as students had to accomplish tasks like writing and orally presenting reports in their Cross-curricular Learning Day activities
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014
- 16 -
initial steps to develop tailor-made curricula to promote cross-curricular learning were taken as subject panels especially those within the same key learning areas were encouraged to identify suitable cross-curricular topics
across subjects some teachers especially those within the same key learning areas were encouraged to include cross-curricular elements in their
collaborative teaching plans On enhancing studentsrsquo learning in classroom with cooperative learning many teachers had participated quite actively in many professional development activities concerning cooperative learning including
peer lesson observation experience sharing on the practice of the related teaching strategies
many teachers had included cooperative elements in their lessons like including cooperative learning elements in their collaborative teaching plans practicing cooperative learning more in junior form lessons
students were equipped with cooperative learning skills in junior forms Liberal Studies lessons with high demands of interactive learning and creativity were taken as the most appropriate platform for
students to start acquiring and practicing cooperative learning skills in junior forms cooperative learning was also quite frequently applied in S1-S3 classrooms especially by teachers of subjects like English History
Integrated Science and Geography
222 Reflection Studentsrsquo self-directed learning practices had developed quite satisfactorily in the past school year through the wide practice of
e-learning the making good use of the Student TV and the insistence on reading to learn but there is still plenty room for improvement Both teachers and students should have some better understanding of the real benefits and strategies of self-directed learning for
enhancing learning effectiveness There should be more professional development on self-directed learning for teachers including both the philosophies and teaching strategies Teachers should engage students meaningfully and effectively in their self-directed learning to compensate for the lack of sufficient time for students to learn just in the classroom Students on the other hand should still have to develop the habit of self-directed learning so that they could learn more widely and freely beyond the constraints of classroom learning
To develop e-learning for effective self-directed learning it is very necessary to have the sufficient provision of both the hardware and software For hardware more ipads should be provided for students for the convenience of their mobile learning and classroom sharing and plans should be taken to cover the whole school campus with WiFi access Both teachers and students should be encouraged to use the newly established E-Learning Centre for lessons or self-directed learning As for software teachers should be given more room and support to enable them to prepare more e-learning lessons and teaching packages as well as self-access learning materials or packages for studentsrsquo self-directed learning More suitable apps for educational and instructional purposes should have been purchased
The Student TV should still be much better developed as an effective platform for studentsrsquo self-directed learning To produce better programmes both in quantity and quality for self-directed learning more and more students should be trained and supported to become more active in producing and broadcasting self-direct learning programmes for students More broadcasting time should be given while it will be more useful if students could have more and easier accesses to programmes produced by the Student TV

To promote self-directed learning through reading a more enriched reading atmosphere in school should still be enhanced Students should be much encouraged to make good use of the prescribed reading lists for their self-directed academic pursuit by asking them to provide diffused information acquired from prescribed readings to accomplish their assignments or by giving them bonus term marks Persistent efforts in finding and subscribing suitable ibooks for students should still be attempted to facilitate studentsrsquo self-direct learning
The increasing needs in catering for studentsrsquo learning diversities require both the school and the teachers to take more appropriate actions teachers should further develop a better awareness of the importance of catering for learner differences as both effective and
indispensable in helping all students not just the low achievers they should be encouraged to participate actively in learning circles of teachers of the same or other schools to develop suitable and effective strategies to be applied in classrooms for the purpose
the school should take steps to look into the real situation of learning diversities of our students and to work out school-based policies and development programmes to equip the school and the teachers with the necessary knowledge and strategies to enhance studentsrsquo learning through catering for their learning diversities
both the teachers and school should also prepare themselves to provide help and support to those students with special education needs who have been growing in number in recent years
Based on the contemporary success in making use of cross-curricular learning to enhance studentsrsquo learning effectiveness some better measures could still be taken to enrich and improve the Cross Curricular Learning Day activities to refine the attempts at developing and implementing the Language Across Curriculum and to working out a practical school-based curriculum for cross-curricular learning the Cross-curricular Learning Day in providing students with task-oriented or theme-based leaning opportunities should also
integrate other ingredients to develop students as effective learners like learning outside the classroom and enhancing their skills in e-learning mobile learning as well as self-directed learning
cross-curricular learning through Language Across Curriculum should include not just English with History Geography Mathematics and Integrated Science but also with all other EMI academic subjects so that both the language and the academic subjects could reinforce one another in studentsrsquo learning and there should be better coordination to facilitate teachersrsquo cooperation and to incorporate well the LAC lessons into the teaching schedules of the subjects concerned
subject panels should be much encouraged and supported to review their curricula to identify suitable topics and themes for cross-curricular learning in order to work out the school-based tailor-made cross-curricular learning curricula
Cooperative learning should still be further enforced especially in junior forms in order to familiarize students in the earliest stage of the secondary school study with the unique learning skills and styles and teachers should still be much encouraged and facilitated to widely practice cooperative learning by providing them with the necessary materials needed for cooperative learning requiring them to work with each other in collaborative teaching to work out and implement the teaching plans with cooperative learning elements and asking them to start with the junior forms to try out the strategies for cooperative learning

23 Gifted Education Development
231 Achievements With sufficient preparatory work in the previous year this academic year saw the progressive development of gifted education in True Light Girls College With concerted efforts of the Committee members new initiatives were raised and relevant issues and concerns were explored On the administrative level The Gifted Education Committee was officially formed The committee set up gifted education policy and implemented certain projects in
the year Aiming to identify students gifted in different domains and provide suitable learning opportunities for them talent pools in S2 and S3 were
set up focusing on performance of eight domains namely Chinese English Mathematics Science Music Physical Education Art and Leadership In each domain of each form 16 students were selected as gifted by respective subject teachers or class teachers The talent pools were made accessible for all teachers so that all of them could identify gifted students in certain domains when necessary
Towards the end of the academic year talent pools were updated for the new academic year A system was developed for managing the ongoing pull-out programmes The system categorized the running programmes concerned
on subject-based criteria On students level In this year the nomination process of students to join off-site enrichment and extension programmes provided by Gifted Education
Section of EDB the Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education local tertiary institutions and universities was carried out smoothly A leadership training programme was successfully organized in August 2014 for potential student leaders All S4 students were assigned to join The Hong Kong Award for Young People (AYP) which is a scheme promoting all-round
development and exploring ones talent and potential One committee member teacher was assigned to each of the 4 classes to monitor students completion of the scheme
Two talks were held for students throughout the year One aimed at informing S4 students of the rationale and implementation of AYP Another one is for S2 and S3 students introducing the rationale of talent pool and how students should go all out to develop their talents
On teachers level Teachers were invited to contribute to the development of talent pool During the process they were introduced the definition of
giftedness and some selective criteria of gifted students
On parents level Mr Patrick Lam Associate Director of the Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education was invited to be the guest speaker of a seminar for
parents on Parents Day in February The talk introduced the ideas of giftedness and it received positive responses from the parents

232 Reflection
The goals set were achieved well in the previous academic year It is deemed that improvements on certain areas of the Committee could be made for future development of gifted education in breadth and depth All members of the group should have a basic and unanimous understanding as to how gifted education is defined and how its
development is implemented on the school level It is time for all members to receive further training provided by the Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education Core members of the group should receive more advanced training especially on the administrative level More meetings and informal exchanges should take place for achieving such an aim
With the development of the talent pool it should be introduced to all teaching staff thoroughly so that they are more aware of its existence and use
AYP is to be implemented in both S4 and S5 Last year the completion rate of the scheme was not satisfactory as teachers in charge found it difficult to monitor students progress frequently and regularly Next year AYP ambassadors will be assigned in all S4 and S5 classes It is hoped that they can facilitate the monitoring work as well as the promotional work of relevant activities
Gifted education in classroom is one of the concerns of the Committee A staff development programme regarding high-order thinking skills is to be held in next year helping teachers familiarize themselves with how such skills can be developed among students in classroom
24 Career Education Enrichment
241 Achievements This is the second year of the 5-year School Development Plan 2012-2017 This is a good opportunity for students teachers and parents to understand the importance of career education for the student development through organizing and participating in different programmes This year a wide variety of programmes were organized for all stakeholders to be equipped in career education These should be helpful for students to pursue their own goals with the support from their parents and teachers On enhancing professional development of teachers on career education a staff development programme on Implementation of Career Education in Secondary School was organized for all teachers on 6
January 2014 We invited Dr Ho Yuk Fan the Vice Chairperson of The Hong Kong Association of Careers Masters and Guidance Masters to share the latest information in Career Guidance The teachers were very positive to the programme

career knowledge and experiences Subject panels provided a wide variety of activities to inspire students for the pursuit of their further study and career opportunities such
as visiting RTHK attending a CEO talk from KCS and a public lecture on ldquoExplore the World of Medicinerdquo Some students found the participation in the OLE activities inspired them in setting up their own goals Reflections on goal set up for
study and career can be seen in S6 studentsrsquo Student Learning Profile and the OEA
242 Reflection The school has been promoting career education to the stakeholders at school Even though there were difficulties in the implementation phase it was a good start Some teachers may not fully understand the importance of career education to all students More professional development on career
guidance should be provided to teachers so that they will be better equipped for providing more comprehensive support to the students More CRE activities were organized but the teachers could better help the students to consolidate their learning and relate their
experiences to career planning so as to arouse studentsrsquo awareness to the importance of career planning For the Career Education Curriculum it would be introduced in S3 in 2014-2015 Students could have an earlier awareness which can
help them make a more informed choice for their study and career

3 Learning and Teaching 31 Learning Experiences
Our students have been with pride and perseverance putting the call of the School Mission into their daily learning as they always tend to lsquothink
independentlyrsquo and lsquolearn proactivelyrsquo in their academic pursuit Taking such approaches in learning both in and outside the classroom students find that they could make the most out of their various learning experiences as they striving for the best academic performance
Through their daily learning in classroom students did not just acquire knowledge subject-wise while developing their various generic skills they
could also learn to treasure important universal values when they came across the core elements in value education including moral civic and environmental education which had been immerged with the different subjects they studied These invaluable learning experiences could help students establish correct and positive attitudes towards life which is very useful for them to live and enrich their everyday life and to foster their whole person development
Students became very effective learners in and outside the classroom with the help of information technology When in classrooms students
were highly engaged in each lesson with teachers making the frequent use of various information technology devices like the computing system the electronic whiteboard the Simultaneous Response System and the overhead projector as well as different audio-visual aids to enrich their learning experiences Students could also make use of various e-learning provisions in school to conduct their own self-directed learning outside the classroom In recent years students could study with the e-learning packages uploaded to the eClass platform by their subject teachers and conduct their private study with the help of the computer in the Computer Room Since last Easter students could also use ipads for their self-directed study in the newly-established E-Learning Centre
Junior form studentsrsquo learning in classrooms was also much facilitated with some new ingredients inserted in their lessons For instance students
in S1 and S2 could learn with ipads in English lessons to accomplish their learning tasks and to share promptly and effectively their learning outcomes with classmates Junior form students attending Liberal Studies Integrated Science and Computer Literacy periods would also often find themselves learning lively and actively through ipads
Furthermore junior form students had also come across with a new learning experience in their Language across Curriculum lessons with
subjects like English Mathematics History Geography and Integrated Science Learning with the tailor-made cross-curricular materials which include innovative worksheets as well as interactive games and activities students found it marvelous as their study of the English language and the subject content of Mathematics Science and Humanities could reinforce each other
Drama education was introduced as a new element in the English learning of junior form students with the hope that this integration of the
lsquodramarsquo elements in the English periods would make the lessons more impressive and appealing to students while students could learn in a more creative and interactive way the listening writing reading and speaking skills in the learning of the language
Junior form students had also got used to making use of cooperative learning in class to help maximize their learning effectiveness and outcomes
especially in lessons of English Liberal Studies History and Geography For senior form students there was still a strong tendency for them to take less than three elective subjects in their NSS study In this school year
after their application for dropping elective subjects had been approved after the last Final Examination there are now 58 students in S5 and 92 students in S6 studying less than three elective subjects Meanwhile there are already 11 students in S4 studying only two elective subjects many were S4 repeaters who could only take two elective subjects for their study Moreover there are only 7 students (out of 37) still studied M1 in S6 while a total of 18 (out of 36) had withdrawn their study of M2
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014
- 22 -
With the growing dropping rate of M1 and M2 in S5 and S6 there would only be a class of students admitted to S4 this year given the opportunity to study the Mathematics extensions but this study would only take place after they have been promoted to S5 In the meantime those S6 and S5 students who had withdrawn their study of an elective subject had still to attend supplementary Chinese and English lessons two periods for each language per cycle in the first term or the second term respectively For other spare periods these students had to conduct their self-directed learning in the school library while class and subject teachers were well aware of giving them more and better support through guidance or providing them with more supplementary work or exercises Those students who had withdrawn from studying the Mathematics extension parts had to attend supplementary Mathematics (Core) lessons to concentrate on improving their performance in the subject
Senior form students could also have other learning experiences within their normal lessons like Religious Education lessons for Moral amp Civic
Education PE lessons for Physical Development Career Education lessons in S4 for Career-Related Experiences as well as Aesthetic Development lessons For Career Education though it was not included as normal lessons in S5 and S6 it had still been implemented for the students as immersed programmes conducted in class teachersrsquo periods or assembly time for S5 and S6
Besides learning through the formal curriculum in classrooms students also learned without boundaries outside the classroom They took part
actively in the Cross-curricular Learning Day learning across subject boundaries in the form of thematic study like lsquoThe Changing Face of Centralrsquo (S1) lsquoWhatrsquos on the Menursquo (S2) lsquoField Study in Kingrsquos Parkrsquo (S3) lsquoLearning Positive Traits from Famous Peoplersquo (S4) and lsquoWorking Realityrsquo (S5) Moreover students enjoyed something like a knowledge carnival in the re-organized Inter-House General Quiz when both the House teams and the House members as audience were asked of questions from all the subjects they studied
Students also learned in a lively and creative way and gained significantly when they participated in some exchange or interflow activities or
attended the various enrichment or enhancement courses organized by the school or when they acquired other learning experiences outside the classroom
Students were given the opportunities to learn in other schools when they joined in some student interflow schemes like the Local Student
Exchange Scheme co-organized with Hong Kong True Light Middle School on April 1-3 2014 as well as with Queen Elizabeth School on April 9-10 2014 Students had also twice the time to have interflows with students from Guangzhou True Light Middle School on November 6-7 2013 and April 30 2014 Students who had become buddies of the student visitors from other schools could have especially gone through some brand new and unforgettable learning experiences
The Capacity Enhancement Grant (CEG) and the Diversity Learning (DLG) were well made use of to provide students with extra support to
further enrich their knowledge to enhance better their learning capacity and develop deeper their interests and skills Through CEG there were Enrichment Courses for S1-S3 Gifted Students in Mathematics an Interactive Drama Performance Course for S2 students Drama Courses to enhance S4 and S5 students in their English Learning Chinese Debating Courses for S2 to S4 students Physics Courses on lsquoArchitecture amp Mechanicsrsquo and lsquoElectromagnetismrsquo biotechnology experiments for Biology students in senior forms a Beginner Digital Photography Course and Student TV Training Course Through DLG there included a Learning English through Debating Extension Course a Learning English through Social Issues and Pop Culture Extension Course workshops on Chinese writing and composition Biology courses on lsquoForensic Sciencersquo and lsquoBiotechnology Experimentsrsquo and Mathematics and Liberal Studies enhancement courses for NSS students
Studentsrsquo knowledge horizons were also broadened when they participated in a variety of extra-curricular or co-curricular activities like visits
field trips and study tours abroad like to Singapore in January 2014 on Environmental Historical Cultural and English studies to mainland China (Beijing) for Cultural Studies and to Taiwan on Music Interfow Different subject panels had also worked through their respective academic societies to provide various innovative life-wide learning activities to arouse studentsrsquo interests and to enhance their ability in learning the disciplines Talks of academics or scholars had also been organized to help arouse studentsrsquo social consciousness and academic concerns

32 Teaching Strategies Our teachers had been incessantly acquiring and attempting to put into practice different kinds of teaching strategies to cater for the various
learning needs of our students in order to help them achieve the best learning outcomes Teachers always took up the role of facilitators in classrooms focusing at constructing an interactive classroom in order to arouse studentsrsquo learning motivation and help encourage their proactive learning Students were provided with various stimuli to help their learning like providing them with different scenarios to inspire them to explore every possible method to solve problems asking them graded and high order thinking questions to enhance their creativity and critical thinking skills and giving them carefully designed differentiated and challenging tasks to enrich their useful and meaningful learning opportunities in classrooms Teachers also provided timely and constructive feedbacks and compliments to students as recognition and reinforcement of their learning outcomes
Teachers also tended to have frequent applications of various information technology techniques and devices like the computing systems
visualizers ipads as well as the electronic whiteboards with the simultaneous response system to help reinforce their teaching strategies in creating a more interactive and effective learning environment to make learning and teaching more effective Teachers had been looking into the possibility of making a wider use of e-learning strategies like providing students with e-learning packages and resources through the eClass platform introducing e-textbooks to students and subscribing for them i-books for self-directed learning The first task had been taken for a few years while the other two tasks were still put under study
To improve the teaching strategies on catering for learning diversities our school had joined with other schools in the Learning Circle of Catering
for Learning Diversities organized by EDB to keep an interflow of related ideas and strategies with other schools The school had also participated in the research on ldquoHong Kong In-service Teachersrsquo Self-efficacy and Readiness for Differentiated Instruction for Diverse Learnersrsquo organized by the Faculty of Education of The Chinese University of Hong Kong in order to have a better understanding on the preparedness and readiness of our teachers at catering for learning diversities
Our teachers had also engaged themselves in an active sharing of teaching strategies as they contributed proactively their articles to the
publication of a Collection of Teaching Recollections of Teachers of True Light Girlsrsquo College called lsquoTrue Light Sharingrsquo in the last school year As seen from the four sections in the book teachers of different subjects shared with their colleagues and teachers of other schools their teaching plans lesson tips glowing new ideas in teaching as well as some teaching reflections
Teachers had been actively making use of the Collaborative Teaching Scheme and the Common Free Periods to work together and to learn from
each other for the purpose of refining and further developing their teaching strategies Through the Collaborative Teaching Scheme teachers teaching the same subjects or within the same KLA worked in teams each consisting of two or three teachers to work out and implement together some teaching plans with peer lesson observation and evaluation Specific attention was paid to develop teaching strategies for cross-curricular and cooperative learning while the scheming of student-oriented lessons to enhance active student involvement and learning autonomy was also emphasized with concerns for provoking high-order thinking and catering for learning diversities Common free periods were arranged when setting the timetables for teachers of English Chinese Mathematics and NSS Liberal Studies at each level to enhance their professional teaching collaboration in their lesson preparation and implementation Other subject teachers had mostly taken their own initiative to arrange for themselves the same practice for their professional sharing and development
To further enhance the effectiveness of our teaching strategies in order to bring about satisfactory learning outcomes of students it is still
necessary for our teachers to acquire improve and implement the teaching strategies concerning catering for learning diversities of high achievers low achievers as well as students with special education needs Steps have also to be taken to tailor-make the curriculum of different subjects for meaningful cross-curricular learning Cooperative learning should still be widely practiced not just in junior forms and for only some subjects More importantly teachers should acquire more knowledge and skills in fostering studentsrsquo self-directed learning which includes the use of teaching strategies to facilitate the e-learning and mobile learning of students
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014

33 Assessment Studentsrsquo academic performance and learning outcomes had been continuously assessed by different modes of homework assignments quizzes
term tests and examinations Assessment for learning was greatly emphasized when giving students homework assignments to help consolidate their subject knowledge and
what they had learned in classroom Assignments which included various kinds like workbooks worksheets essay writing surveys projects case studies reports book reviews and newspaper cuttings etc were duly designed with diversified tasks and questions of varied difficulties Improvement could still be made in designing assignments to cater better for studentsrsquo diversified learning needs to adopt wider modes of assessment like self peer and parent assessments and to help students to conduct their self-directed study
To help students to put great emphasis on doing well their homework in order to consolidate their learning outcomes the Homework Submission
Scheme was adopted and implemented in these recent years to make students do and submit their homework assignments properly Together with the homework policies of different subject panels which often included mark deduction for late submission of assignments students had become more punctual and orderly in their homework submission To further encourage students to do well their homework assignments in order to achieve satisfactory learning outcomes the Most Outstanding Homework Performance Award Scheme was still carried out and a total of 44 and 52 students were awarded in the first term and the second term respectively
To have a better supervision from the school management and the subject panel heads on homework assignments to students including the
content and marking of the assignments the assignment inspection policy was carried out which required the subject panel heads to supervise the panel members over their making use of homework assignments in achieving their teaching objectives Panel heads could make use of the standard record forms of assignment inspection to see into the quality and the quantity of the assignments given by teachers and to evaluate the marking of the teachers and the ways they gave the comments and feedbacks The subject panel heads also had to submit their studentsrsquo assignments to the school management for the same kind of inspection
Besides assessment assignments studentsrsquo annual academic performance in school was formally assessed through tests and examinations
which made up the term marks and the examination marks of studentsrsquo annual scores respectively There were two examinations for each level of students every year For tests there were at least two assessments (testassignmentproject) for each subject within each term For junior forms there should be at least one test in the first term and preferably two tests in the second term while for senior forms the two assessments each term should be tests
The New Senior Secondary Curriculum provided teachers with great challenges in different aspects including assessment Teachers had been
especially careful to be accurate in using the standard referencing system to assess students on the levels they attained in different assessments and different subjects Two attempts were still made in the last school year to help teachers to conduct their level marking more confidently The first was to keep joining the HKDSE Mock Examination Papers Exchange Scheme organized by the Association of Principals of Secondary Schools of the Hong Kong Council of the Church of Christ in China Subject teachers who had joined the Scheme found it very helpful to conduct level marking by taking the marking criteria set by other schools as reference and examples The other attempt was to predict for students their levels of attainment in different subjects after the S6 Mid-year Examination and students were given their predicted grades on S6 Parentsrsquo Day as a way to help the students as well as their parents to prepare better for the Mock Examination and HKDSE The school joined for the second time the Pilot Study on Predicted Levels of 2014 Core Subjects (CEML) conducted by the Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority to study on the reliability of our prediction of
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014
- 25 -
studentsrsquo CEML subjects to evaluate teachersrsquo accuracy in level marking while reliable predicted grades will be useful for managing the expectation of students and their parents The School Report of the pilot study showed that there was a satisfactorily high correlation between the predicted grades awarded by our teachers to students and the actual level attained by students in 2014 HKDSE showing that teachers had a good understanding and knowledge on standard referencing and their level marking performance was very reliable
To match much better the level attainment system adopted by the New Senior Secondary Curriculum with the traditional marking system which
was revealed in studentsrsquo Academic Reports it was decided that the passing mark in senior form subjects would be changed from 50 to 40 of the total mark Such a change could also better reflect the possible level attainment obtained by students in HKDSE
Teachers were also very cautious in taking sophisticated procedures in conducting the School-based Assessment in the New Senior Secondary
Curriculum Students were assessed on the same tasks and with the same assessment criteria To achieve this students were given common SBA tasks across classes and the same standard of assessment The same criteria for awarding marks to all students were applied and in doing so consultation among teachers to align the marking criteria was often conducted and trial marking of samples of studentsrsquo work was constantly carried out Marks given were adjusted whenever necessary to ensure consistence of assessment standard Reference materials and archive materials were used to help standardizing marking Proper and sufficient guidance and supervision was provided to students to ensure the quality and authenticity of their work There was feedback and advice on improvement to students after the completion of marking to provide them with a fruitful learning experience

Our school has been putting prime emphases on providing quality education for our students which includes very significantly the nurturing of their whole person development through the cultivation in them the True Light spirit Through this lsquoTrue Light Spirit Cultivationrsquo our students will be internalized with the invaluable True Light Girlsrsquo Qualities which include perseverance fitness modesty sacrifice illumination dedication awareness and versatility to live up to the School Motto and to shine forth as the light of the world This lsquoTrue Light Spirit Cultivationrsquo which has been stated as the first major concern in our School Development Plan (2012-2017) matches well with our school vision which aims at bringing up our students who will lsquogrow in loversquo and lsquocontribute to societyrsquo in their all-round development In the second year of the implementation of the School Development Plan notable achievements had been accomplished in further enhancing the spirit of sisterhood upholding and sustaining the fine True Light legacies fostering the religious atmosphere in the school and enhancing studentsrsquo contribution to society in the aspect of lsquoTrue Light Spirit Cultivationrsquo
On further enhancing the spirit of sisterhood the sister class system as bonds amongst the sister classes had been much fortified
S1 Form Association Inauguration Ceremony held on 31 March 2014 provided the good opportunity to strengthen sisterhood of S1 and S4 sister classes as S1 students received great help and support from their elder school sisters in S4 in preparing for the various performances in the ceremony which included choir singing dancing English drama English and Putonghua choral verse speaking
sisterhood among the sister classes of S3 and S6 was much nurtured as S3 students showed their gratitude towards their elder school sisters in S6 by preparing for them hand-made souvenirs upon their graduation
S1 students were provided with care and guidance in school programmes from their senior school sisters S1 students were given help and support from their elder school sisters in S1 Orientation Days elder schoolmates in S3 or S4 served also as student mentors in the S1 Mentoring Programme to help their younger S1 school
sisters to adapt themselves smoothly to their new secondary school life new initiatives were taken to further nurture sisterhood
the newly participated EDB programme called ldquoPupil Ambassador Active Bright and Caringrsquo had been implemented in all levels which involved also cooperation among students of corresponding sister classes
the House System was refined to nurture sisterhood through the cultivation of the House spirit especially with the revived practice of letting each House to hold its own Annual General Meeting
bonds between students and alumnae were fostered as the Alumni Mentoring Scheme was carried out to invite our alumnae who had excelled themselves in their professions in different
fields to become mentors of their younger sister schoolmates studying at S6 at school offering them guidance and advice in their career planning and further studies
the alumnae who were well-established in the community with their achievements had been invited to share their experience and expertise with the students in talks or school assemblies
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014

On upholding and sustaining the fine True Light legacies students were acquainted with True Light legacies through learning more about the school history
the Religious Education curricula in S1 S4 and S5 had been revised to include school history for students to learn more about the values and beliefs the school had been practicing
students in general could learn more about the True Light legacies by visiting the School Chapel cum School History Archive which displays rich relics and information of the history of our own school True Light Girlsrsquo College and by visiting also the True Light History Gallery with exhibits showing the history of our Alma Mater as well as the constant interflow and cooperation of True Light schools in Guangzhou and Hong Kong while the School Chapel cum School History Archive was taken as the most suitable venue for students in S1 to have school history lessons and for S4 students to conduct their self-directed study on school history
students of S1 S4 and S5 were guided in Religious Education lessons to study the Chinese version of the book ldquoA Light in the
Land of Sinimrdquo (《光在華夏》) written by the school founder Harriet Noyes to know more about the original True Light beliefs and
spirit and to write reflections as assignments through the TLGC 40th Anniversary publication called ldquoEncountering True Lightrdquo (《遇見真光》) which the S6 students received as the
school souvenirs for their graduation the impact of True Light legacies on many True Light people who had shared their testimonies of their True Light experiences in the book was felt more impressively by the graduates who would be more convicted in living up with the True Light spirits even after leaving school
students were facilitated to live up to the ideal True Light values which were reinforced through the moral and civic education they received in and outside the classroom subjects like Chinese Life Education and Religious Education lessons carried some immersed teaching of moral and civic
education which reflected also the True Light values there were even greater opportunities for students to learn more about core and universal values on hearing guest speakers share
their ideas in school assemblies by participating actively in OLE programmes to widen their horizons and by joining educational trips to learn more widely from people of different places in the world
True Light traditions were reinforced with various school practices and programmes as students were familiarized with the traditional True Light songs and hymns they learnt in Music lessons the school followed the True Light tradition to hold for the first time the S6 Form Association Night on 27 June 2014 evening as a rite
of passage for the graduates to share their school memories and to strengthen their bonds with the school and with each other the Lantern Passing Ceremony was held within the S6 Form Association Night as a True Light traditional ritual for members of the
True Light family to witness how the graduates had grown up with the blessings and education of True Light traditions and how these traditions would then be carried on by their school sisters in school as shown by the passing of the True Light Torch from S6 graduates to S5 students in the ceremony
it has been the tradition of our own school for our S6 graduates to have their Farewell Assembly and it was held on S6 last school day 28 February 2014 with the help of the Religious Education Committee
On fostering the religious atmosphere in the school religious elements were integrated in routine and daily school activities
as morning prayers had been said at around 59 times in the last school year usually on Days 3 4 and 6 by Christian teachers and students
there were prayers Bible sharing and hymn singing led by Christian teachers and Student Fellowship members in school assemblies Education Sunday school ceremonies as well as Christmas and Easter Services

with God and with each other while teams relationships and problem solving skills were also nurtured the Religious Education and Music curricula were reviewed and modified as
thematic studies like those on lsquoloversquo and lsquomeanings of lifersquo were included in the Religious Education curriculum for different levels of students to learn about religion in a lively and collective way
hymns with their rich religious meanings were taught and sung in Music lessons Collaboration with preachers from churches in organizing religious activities and leadership training
A network with HKCCC Hop Yat Church (Kowloon Church) Mongkok Church and Mandarin Church which was helpful and supportive to the holding of religious activities in our school
preachers from various neighbouring churches had helped in many of our religious studies like Teacher Retreat Education Sunday Bible sharing and giving religious services
On enhancing studentsrsquo contribution to society community or voluntary service training programmes were designed and implemented to equip S4 students and student leaders with the
necessary skills and techniques and to engage them in providing the services the Service Learning Programme was introduced to S4 students as a part of their school learning and all S4 students had to
participate in the programme so as to broaden their horizons and arouse their awareness of the needs in the society a Leadership Training Programme was arranged for all student organizers to help them design and organize the service
programmes Students of different levels were facilitated to take part in community service programmes to serve the needy
voluntary services for the elderly and flags selling activities had been organized by the Students Social Service Corps the Oxfam Club had organized charity programmes like Charity Cafeacute and Hunger Banquet the Community Youth Club Zonta Z Club Red Cross Youth Unit Girl Guides Junior Police Call Road Safety Patrol had organized

212 Reflection
The traditional and invaluable spirit of sisterhood had been well nurtured and more established in the past school year with some further strengthening of the sister-forms system the continuing growth of mutual care and cooperation between sister-forms and the strengthening of bonds between students and the alumnae
Based on our existing persisting effort in nurturing sisterhood among students and even between our students and alumnae more and different attempts should still have to make to foster sisterhood among students of the same class the same form the same House within the whole school and even with the other True Light Schools in Hong Kong and Guangzhou Such endeavours could be made through the established mechanisms like the class associations the form associations the four Houses and the Student Union within our school while new initiatives should be sought for strengthening sisterhood among the True Light Schools
Sisterhood within our own school could still be further enhanced with various kinds of games activities and competitions organized at inter-class inter-form and inter-House levels including those very popular established practices like the Interclass Rope Skipping Competition the Interclass Tug-of-war Competition the Athletic Meet and the Swimming Gala It could be very useful and meaningful if more different kinds of inter-class inter-form or inter-House activities would be held like choral speaking debates ball games quizzes and drama festival It was good to have the revived attempts like re-organizing the Inter-House General Quiz and for each House to re-hold its own House Annual General Meeting to raise sisterhood in the House levels There are still more things the Houses could do like re-holding Orientation Gathering for S1 House members to foster sisterhood through the enhancement of the House spirit The Student Union may attempt to organize certain events like the Student Festival to enhance the school spirit of all students
Sisterhood could still be much enhanced through the sister-forms system especially for the sister classes of S2 and S5 More opportunities like sharing games competitions etc should still have to be created for students of the sister classes to have much closer encounters communication and cooperation
There had been certain attempts which could help nurturing sisterhood among the True Light Schools like holding student interflows co-organizing overseas study tours and drama workshops attending each otherrsquos school anniversary thanksgiving services and visiting our Alma Mater in Guangzhou Based on these good practices more attempts in the studentsrsquo level could still be tried out like re-holding the Joint True Light Schools Athletic Meet and organizing joint activities or competitions like debates quizzes and even a drama fest Such sisterhood within the True Light schools could facilitate our working together with greater collective efforts to reinforce the True Light legacies and to demonstrate them to the community
Satisfactory work had been done to facilitate students to learn more about the True Light history values and traditions in order to uphold and sustain the True Light legacies in students More creative and meaningful ways could still be attempted to motivate students to have genuine interests to know more about everything concerning True Light Taking True Light history spirit culture traditions and legacies as the main theme students could be asked to do researches or projects on the issue while even different kinds of competitions games days or carnivals could be held for the purpose
The religious atmosphere in the school had been greatly fostered all through the year with morning prayers religious practices in assemblies Student Fellowship activities and most importantly studentsrsquo religious education in classrooms It could still be further enhanced if students would be led to live with religious beliefs and values in their daily life encountering issues of personal and current affairs with the religious faith and perspectives
Students had been much facilitated to serve the society with training programmes to equip them with the necessary skills and knowledge with voluntary work for them to serve the needed and with commendation on their accomplishments in performing voluntary and community services It is our present practice to have different student bodies in school to organize voluntary services as a part of the annual programmes to provide students with the opportunities to serve the community It would be even more constructive if a Social Service Society could be newly formed to act as an individual student body focusing purely on doing different kinds of social and voluntary services It would be even more fruitful and helpful if students could take both a whole person development approach and a deep concern for our community when they contribute themselves in doing voluntary and community services Students should take their contribution to society as indispensable for their personal growth which should include not just doing community services but also their love care and concern for the development of the community

22 Learning Effectiveness Enhancement 221 Achievements
Major and further steps were taken earnestly by the school to carry on with the realization of the four foci emphasized in the 5-year School Development Plan (2012 ndash 2017) including well-developing studentsrsquo self-direct learning practices well-catering for studentsrsquo learning diversities broadening studentsrsquo learning horizons with cross-curricular learning and enhancing studentsrsquo learning in classroom with cooperative learning The following accomplishments were made with the strenuous and persistent collaborative effort contributed by the whole teaching staff
On developing well studentsrsquo self-direct learning practices students were helped in acquiring and developing self-direct learning skills and habits with the implementation of the e-Learning Pilot
Scheme and the making use of the eClass platform students in S1 and S2 were provided with plenty opportunities in the English lessons to familiarize themselves with the use of ipads
to help develop well their self-direct learning abilities and they found their learning of the English language had become doubly effective as the use of ipads could help them achieve their learning tasks and share their learning outcomes promptly and effectively
students were trained in their junior form study to well equip themselves in the use of ipads for self-direct learning as they were taught and drilled in their S1 to S3 Computer Literacy lessons on the basic use of ipads and process apps in order to cultivate their skills habits and confidence in making use of ipads for their self-direct learning
many Liberal Studies Geography and Science teachers had also made a very wide use of ipads in and outside the classrooms to enhance further studentsrsquo capabilities in using ipads for school learning as well as self-direct learning
studentsrsquo use of ipads in school had been much enhanced by the e-Learning Pilot Scheme which helped provide the WiFi network while the school showed its strong support through providing the additional ipads and process apps
students had also made good use of the eClass platform for their self-direct learning as they did their private study with the many self-direct learning packages prepared and uploaded by teachers of different subjects
students could conduct their self-explorative learning more effectively and conveniently in the newly established E-Learning Centre plans and steps to convert the MMLC into a self-access E-Learning Centre were taken since the start of the last academic year with
the major conversion works taken and completed during the Easter Holiday with school funding the newly established E-Learning Centre was installed with a full coverage of high speed WiFi access a
suitable number of 42 ipads and related furniture the E-Learning Centre started to open to students for their self-direct learning with the use of ipads after the Easter Holiday
students took the multi-functional Student TV as a self-direct learning platform and engaged themselves in it as effective learners by either producing or viewing the Student TV programme the True Light Student TV studio was established with a well-trained production team of students responsible for running different
channels under the supervision of a Supervisory Committee of teacher advisors programmes were produced and broadcast according to schedules for students for school news information and knowledge
building and the viewers mostly found the programmes satisfactory for their self-direct learning reading to learn was persistently promoted to facilitate studentsrsquo self-direct learning
prescribed reading booklists for students were duly prepared by different subject panels for each level and uploaded to either the subject web pages or the school library website and students generally found the prescribed reading could facilitate their self-direct learning
suitable i-books had been sought throughout the year and their subscription could only be made when there would be satisfactory i-books with reasonable costs offered in the market

On catering well for studentsrsquo learning diversities teachers had kept on adopting suitable teaching strategies to make classroom learning effective for students of different learning
abilities like arousing studentsrsquo learning motivation strengthening studentsrsquo language abilities providing students with various kinds of
exposure and it was a common practice for teachers to make use of graded questions and differentiated tasks to better match studentsrsquo abilities
preparing the high achievers for higher achievement by giving them more challenging tasks and learning activities during the lessons to provoke their high-order thinking setting bonus questions or worksheets and designing for them more demanding homework assignments
different learning programmes were provided for high achievers and weaker students like offering off-site courses in Chinese English Mathematics Liberal Studies Physics and Biology for NSS high-achieving students to
further enhance their learning abilities in these subjects arranging after-school tutorial classes for those junior form students who were weak in the main subjects
preparatory measures were attempted to tailor-make the school policies on catering for studentsrsquo learning diversities like joining the Learning Circle of Catering for Learning Diversities organized by EDB to keep interflow of ideas with other schools participating in the research on ldquoHong Kong In-service Teachersrsquo Self-efficacy and Readiness for Differentiated Instruction for
Diverse Learnersrsquo organized by the Faculty of Education of The Chinese University of Hong Kong to have a better understanding on the preparedness and readiness of our teachers at catering for learning diversities
taking the initiative within members of the Academic Standing Committee to prepare the school much better in catering for learning diversities like taking steps to further review the school policies and strategies on the issue to conduct a further study on studentsrsquo learning diversities and to coordinate the teaching strategies adopted by different subjects to cater for learning diversities
On broadening studentsrsquo learning horizons with cross-curricular learning the Language Across Curriculum project was implemented promoting cross-curricular learning with English as the teaching medium
a cross-panel Language Across Curriculum Coordinating Team was set up comprising of a Vice-principal four English teachers one Mathematics teachers and one Integrated Science teacher
with the advice and guidance of a hired consultant teachers of the LAC team had worked out and developed a total of 24 cross-curricular learning and teaching packages on English Mathematics and Integrated Science for the junior form students including worksheets on both language and content items as well as interactive activities and games to be used in lessons
these learning and teaching materials would be fully utilized in the new school year while they would also serve as examples for other EMI subjects to develop cross-curricular learning materials with English
the 24 LAC teaching and learning packages with interactive learning activities and graded exercises on English History and Geography were successfully put into practice in the junior form lessons
the annual Cross-curricular Learning Day activities were carried successfully on 21st February providing students with task-oriented learning opportunities to learn more effectively and creatively without subject boundaries like
lsquoThe Changing Face of Centralrsquo (S1) lsquoWhatrsquos on the Menursquo (S2) lsquoField Study in Kingrsquos Parkrsquo (S3) lsquoLearning Positive Traits from Famous Peoplersquo (S4) and lsquoWorking Realityrsquo (S5)
studentsrsquo language proficiency had been greatly enhanced as students had to accomplish tasks like writing and orally presenting reports in their Cross-curricular Learning Day activities
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014
- 16 -
initial steps to develop tailor-made curricula to promote cross-curricular learning were taken as subject panels especially those within the same key learning areas were encouraged to identify suitable cross-curricular topics
across subjects some teachers especially those within the same key learning areas were encouraged to include cross-curricular elements in their
collaborative teaching plans On enhancing studentsrsquo learning in classroom with cooperative learning many teachers had participated quite actively in many professional development activities concerning cooperative learning including
peer lesson observation experience sharing on the practice of the related teaching strategies
many teachers had included cooperative elements in their lessons like including cooperative learning elements in their collaborative teaching plans practicing cooperative learning more in junior form lessons
students were equipped with cooperative learning skills in junior forms Liberal Studies lessons with high demands of interactive learning and creativity were taken as the most appropriate platform for
students to start acquiring and practicing cooperative learning skills in junior forms cooperative learning was also quite frequently applied in S1-S3 classrooms especially by teachers of subjects like English History
Integrated Science and Geography
222 Reflection Studentsrsquo self-directed learning practices had developed quite satisfactorily in the past school year through the wide practice of
e-learning the making good use of the Student TV and the insistence on reading to learn but there is still plenty room for improvement Both teachers and students should have some better understanding of the real benefits and strategies of self-directed learning for
enhancing learning effectiveness There should be more professional development on self-directed learning for teachers including both the philosophies and teaching strategies Teachers should engage students meaningfully and effectively in their self-directed learning to compensate for the lack of sufficient time for students to learn just in the classroom Students on the other hand should still have to develop the habit of self-directed learning so that they could learn more widely and freely beyond the constraints of classroom learning
To develop e-learning for effective self-directed learning it is very necessary to have the sufficient provision of both the hardware and software For hardware more ipads should be provided for students for the convenience of their mobile learning and classroom sharing and plans should be taken to cover the whole school campus with WiFi access Both teachers and students should be encouraged to use the newly established E-Learning Centre for lessons or self-directed learning As for software teachers should be given more room and support to enable them to prepare more e-learning lessons and teaching packages as well as self-access learning materials or packages for studentsrsquo self-directed learning More suitable apps for educational and instructional purposes should have been purchased
The Student TV should still be much better developed as an effective platform for studentsrsquo self-directed learning To produce better programmes both in quantity and quality for self-directed learning more and more students should be trained and supported to become more active in producing and broadcasting self-direct learning programmes for students More broadcasting time should be given while it will be more useful if students could have more and easier accesses to programmes produced by the Student TV

To promote self-directed learning through reading a more enriched reading atmosphere in school should still be enhanced Students should be much encouraged to make good use of the prescribed reading lists for their self-directed academic pursuit by asking them to provide diffused information acquired from prescribed readings to accomplish their assignments or by giving them bonus term marks Persistent efforts in finding and subscribing suitable ibooks for students should still be attempted to facilitate studentsrsquo self-direct learning
The increasing needs in catering for studentsrsquo learning diversities require both the school and the teachers to take more appropriate actions teachers should further develop a better awareness of the importance of catering for learner differences as both effective and
indispensable in helping all students not just the low achievers they should be encouraged to participate actively in learning circles of teachers of the same or other schools to develop suitable and effective strategies to be applied in classrooms for the purpose
the school should take steps to look into the real situation of learning diversities of our students and to work out school-based policies and development programmes to equip the school and the teachers with the necessary knowledge and strategies to enhance studentsrsquo learning through catering for their learning diversities
both the teachers and school should also prepare themselves to provide help and support to those students with special education needs who have been growing in number in recent years
Based on the contemporary success in making use of cross-curricular learning to enhance studentsrsquo learning effectiveness some better measures could still be taken to enrich and improve the Cross Curricular Learning Day activities to refine the attempts at developing and implementing the Language Across Curriculum and to working out a practical school-based curriculum for cross-curricular learning the Cross-curricular Learning Day in providing students with task-oriented or theme-based leaning opportunities should also
integrate other ingredients to develop students as effective learners like learning outside the classroom and enhancing their skills in e-learning mobile learning as well as self-directed learning
cross-curricular learning through Language Across Curriculum should include not just English with History Geography Mathematics and Integrated Science but also with all other EMI academic subjects so that both the language and the academic subjects could reinforce one another in studentsrsquo learning and there should be better coordination to facilitate teachersrsquo cooperation and to incorporate well the LAC lessons into the teaching schedules of the subjects concerned
subject panels should be much encouraged and supported to review their curricula to identify suitable topics and themes for cross-curricular learning in order to work out the school-based tailor-made cross-curricular learning curricula
Cooperative learning should still be further enforced especially in junior forms in order to familiarize students in the earliest stage of the secondary school study with the unique learning skills and styles and teachers should still be much encouraged and facilitated to widely practice cooperative learning by providing them with the necessary materials needed for cooperative learning requiring them to work with each other in collaborative teaching to work out and implement the teaching plans with cooperative learning elements and asking them to start with the junior forms to try out the strategies for cooperative learning

23 Gifted Education Development
231 Achievements With sufficient preparatory work in the previous year this academic year saw the progressive development of gifted education in True Light Girls College With concerted efforts of the Committee members new initiatives were raised and relevant issues and concerns were explored On the administrative level The Gifted Education Committee was officially formed The committee set up gifted education policy and implemented certain projects in
the year Aiming to identify students gifted in different domains and provide suitable learning opportunities for them talent pools in S2 and S3 were
set up focusing on performance of eight domains namely Chinese English Mathematics Science Music Physical Education Art and Leadership In each domain of each form 16 students were selected as gifted by respective subject teachers or class teachers The talent pools were made accessible for all teachers so that all of them could identify gifted students in certain domains when necessary
Towards the end of the academic year talent pools were updated for the new academic year A system was developed for managing the ongoing pull-out programmes The system categorized the running programmes concerned
on subject-based criteria On students level In this year the nomination process of students to join off-site enrichment and extension programmes provided by Gifted Education
Section of EDB the Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education local tertiary institutions and universities was carried out smoothly A leadership training programme was successfully organized in August 2014 for potential student leaders All S4 students were assigned to join The Hong Kong Award for Young People (AYP) which is a scheme promoting all-round
development and exploring ones talent and potential One committee member teacher was assigned to each of the 4 classes to monitor students completion of the scheme
Two talks were held for students throughout the year One aimed at informing S4 students of the rationale and implementation of AYP Another one is for S2 and S3 students introducing the rationale of talent pool and how students should go all out to develop their talents
On teachers level Teachers were invited to contribute to the development of talent pool During the process they were introduced the definition of
giftedness and some selective criteria of gifted students
On parents level Mr Patrick Lam Associate Director of the Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education was invited to be the guest speaker of a seminar for
parents on Parents Day in February The talk introduced the ideas of giftedness and it received positive responses from the parents

232 Reflection
The goals set were achieved well in the previous academic year It is deemed that improvements on certain areas of the Committee could be made for future development of gifted education in breadth and depth All members of the group should have a basic and unanimous understanding as to how gifted education is defined and how its
development is implemented on the school level It is time for all members to receive further training provided by the Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education Core members of the group should receive more advanced training especially on the administrative level More meetings and informal exchanges should take place for achieving such an aim
With the development of the talent pool it should be introduced to all teaching staff thoroughly so that they are more aware of its existence and use
AYP is to be implemented in both S4 and S5 Last year the completion rate of the scheme was not satisfactory as teachers in charge found it difficult to monitor students progress frequently and regularly Next year AYP ambassadors will be assigned in all S4 and S5 classes It is hoped that they can facilitate the monitoring work as well as the promotional work of relevant activities
Gifted education in classroom is one of the concerns of the Committee A staff development programme regarding high-order thinking skills is to be held in next year helping teachers familiarize themselves with how such skills can be developed among students in classroom
24 Career Education Enrichment
241 Achievements This is the second year of the 5-year School Development Plan 2012-2017 This is a good opportunity for students teachers and parents to understand the importance of career education for the student development through organizing and participating in different programmes This year a wide variety of programmes were organized for all stakeholders to be equipped in career education These should be helpful for students to pursue their own goals with the support from their parents and teachers On enhancing professional development of teachers on career education a staff development programme on Implementation of Career Education in Secondary School was organized for all teachers on 6
January 2014 We invited Dr Ho Yuk Fan the Vice Chairperson of The Hong Kong Association of Careers Masters and Guidance Masters to share the latest information in Career Guidance The teachers were very positive to the programme
A workshop was particularly designed for Career Guidance teachers to understand more about the use of the Career Interest Inventory on 14 March 2014
In addition a professional exchange between Methodist College and us was held on 10 April 2014 Ways for effective implementation of the career guidance programmes at school were shared
The Career Guidance Committee attended a talk on how to use the CLP Grant on 27 February 2014

Japanese and Korean Culture Workshops visits to RTHK and Chinese Cuisine Training Institute were arranged to widen studentsrsquo exposures
On helping students set clear goals on future study and career The QEF project was completed on 30 April 2014 Programmes were arranged for students teachers and parents to enrich their
career knowledge and experiences Subject panels provided a wide variety of activities to inspire students for the pursuit of their further study and career opportunities such
as visiting RTHK attending a CEO talk from KCS and a public lecture on ldquoExplore the World of Medicinerdquo Some students found the participation in the OLE activities inspired them in setting up their own goals Reflections on goal set up for
study and career can be seen in S6 studentsrsquo Student Learning Profile and the OEA
242 Reflection The school has been promoting career education to the stakeholders at school Even though there were difficulties in the implementation phase it was a good start Some teachers may not fully understand the importance of career education to all students More professional development on career
guidance should be provided to teachers so that they will be better equipped for providing more comprehensive support to the students More CRE activities were organized but the teachers could better help the students to consolidate their learning and relate their
experiences to career planning so as to arouse studentsrsquo awareness to the importance of career planning For the Career Education Curriculum it would be introduced in S3 in 2014-2015 Students could have an earlier awareness which can
help them make a more informed choice for their study and career

3 Learning and Teaching 31 Learning Experiences
Our students have been with pride and perseverance putting the call of the School Mission into their daily learning as they always tend to lsquothink
independentlyrsquo and lsquolearn proactivelyrsquo in their academic pursuit Taking such approaches in learning both in and outside the classroom students find that they could make the most out of their various learning experiences as they striving for the best academic performance
Through their daily learning in classroom students did not just acquire knowledge subject-wise while developing their various generic skills they
could also learn to treasure important universal values when they came across the core elements in value education including moral civic and environmental education which had been immerged with the different subjects they studied These invaluable learning experiences could help students establish correct and positive attitudes towards life which is very useful for them to live and enrich their everyday life and to foster their whole person development
Students became very effective learners in and outside the classroom with the help of information technology When in classrooms students
were highly engaged in each lesson with teachers making the frequent use of various information technology devices like the computing system the electronic whiteboard the Simultaneous Response System and the overhead projector as well as different audio-visual aids to enrich their learning experiences Students could also make use of various e-learning provisions in school to conduct their own self-directed learning outside the classroom In recent years students could study with the e-learning packages uploaded to the eClass platform by their subject teachers and conduct their private study with the help of the computer in the Computer Room Since last Easter students could also use ipads for their self-directed study in the newly-established E-Learning Centre
Junior form studentsrsquo learning in classrooms was also much facilitated with some new ingredients inserted in their lessons For instance students
in S1 and S2 could learn with ipads in English lessons to accomplish their learning tasks and to share promptly and effectively their learning outcomes with classmates Junior form students attending Liberal Studies Integrated Science and Computer Literacy periods would also often find themselves learning lively and actively through ipads
Furthermore junior form students had also come across with a new learning experience in their Language across Curriculum lessons with
subjects like English Mathematics History Geography and Integrated Science Learning with the tailor-made cross-curricular materials which include innovative worksheets as well as interactive games and activities students found it marvelous as their study of the English language and the subject content of Mathematics Science and Humanities could reinforce each other
Drama education was introduced as a new element in the English learning of junior form students with the hope that this integration of the
lsquodramarsquo elements in the English periods would make the lessons more impressive and appealing to students while students could learn in a more creative and interactive way the listening writing reading and speaking skills in the learning of the language
Junior form students had also got used to making use of cooperative learning in class to help maximize their learning effectiveness and outcomes
especially in lessons of English Liberal Studies History and Geography For senior form students there was still a strong tendency for them to take less than three elective subjects in their NSS study In this school year
after their application for dropping elective subjects had been approved after the last Final Examination there are now 58 students in S5 and 92 students in S6 studying less than three elective subjects Meanwhile there are already 11 students in S4 studying only two elective subjects many were S4 repeaters who could only take two elective subjects for their study Moreover there are only 7 students (out of 37) still studied M1 in S6 while a total of 18 (out of 36) had withdrawn their study of M2
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014
- 22 -
With the growing dropping rate of M1 and M2 in S5 and S6 there would only be a class of students admitted to S4 this year given the opportunity to study the Mathematics extensions but this study would only take place after they have been promoted to S5 In the meantime those S6 and S5 students who had withdrawn their study of an elective subject had still to attend supplementary Chinese and English lessons two periods for each language per cycle in the first term or the second term respectively For other spare periods these students had to conduct their self-directed learning in the school library while class and subject teachers were well aware of giving them more and better support through guidance or providing them with more supplementary work or exercises Those students who had withdrawn from studying the Mathematics extension parts had to attend supplementary Mathematics (Core) lessons to concentrate on improving their performance in the subject
Senior form students could also have other learning experiences within their normal lessons like Religious Education lessons for Moral amp Civic
Education PE lessons for Physical Development Career Education lessons in S4 for Career-Related Experiences as well as Aesthetic Development lessons For Career Education though it was not included as normal lessons in S5 and S6 it had still been implemented for the students as immersed programmes conducted in class teachersrsquo periods or assembly time for S5 and S6
Besides learning through the formal curriculum in classrooms students also learned without boundaries outside the classroom They took part
actively in the Cross-curricular Learning Day learning across subject boundaries in the form of thematic study like lsquoThe Changing Face of Centralrsquo (S1) lsquoWhatrsquos on the Menursquo (S2) lsquoField Study in Kingrsquos Parkrsquo (S3) lsquoLearning Positive Traits from Famous Peoplersquo (S4) and lsquoWorking Realityrsquo (S5) Moreover students enjoyed something like a knowledge carnival in the re-organized Inter-House General Quiz when both the House teams and the House members as audience were asked of questions from all the subjects they studied
Students also learned in a lively and creative way and gained significantly when they participated in some exchange or interflow activities or
attended the various enrichment or enhancement courses organized by the school or when they acquired other learning experiences outside the classroom
Students were given the opportunities to learn in other schools when they joined in some student interflow schemes like the Local Student
Exchange Scheme co-organized with Hong Kong True Light Middle School on April 1-3 2014 as well as with Queen Elizabeth School on April 9-10 2014 Students had also twice the time to have interflows with students from Guangzhou True Light Middle School on November 6-7 2013 and April 30 2014 Students who had become buddies of the student visitors from other schools could have especially gone through some brand new and unforgettable learning experiences
The Capacity Enhancement Grant (CEG) and the Diversity Learning (DLG) were well made use of to provide students with extra support to
further enrich their knowledge to enhance better their learning capacity and develop deeper their interests and skills Through CEG there were Enrichment Courses for S1-S3 Gifted Students in Mathematics an Interactive Drama Performance Course for S2 students Drama Courses to enhance S4 and S5 students in their English Learning Chinese Debating Courses for S2 to S4 students Physics Courses on lsquoArchitecture amp Mechanicsrsquo and lsquoElectromagnetismrsquo biotechnology experiments for Biology students in senior forms a Beginner Digital Photography Course and Student TV Training Course Through DLG there included a Learning English through Debating Extension Course a Learning English through Social Issues and Pop Culture Extension Course workshops on Chinese writing and composition Biology courses on lsquoForensic Sciencersquo and lsquoBiotechnology Experimentsrsquo and Mathematics and Liberal Studies enhancement courses for NSS students
Studentsrsquo knowledge horizons were also broadened when they participated in a variety of extra-curricular or co-curricular activities like visits
field trips and study tours abroad like to Singapore in January 2014 on Environmental Historical Cultural and English studies to mainland China (Beijing) for Cultural Studies and to Taiwan on Music Interfow Different subject panels had also worked through their respective academic societies to provide various innovative life-wide learning activities to arouse studentsrsquo interests and to enhance their ability in learning the disciplines Talks of academics or scholars had also been organized to help arouse studentsrsquo social consciousness and academic concerns

32 Teaching Strategies Our teachers had been incessantly acquiring and attempting to put into practice different kinds of teaching strategies to cater for the various
learning needs of our students in order to help them achieve the best learning outcomes Teachers always took up the role of facilitators in classrooms focusing at constructing an interactive classroom in order to arouse studentsrsquo learning motivation and help encourage their proactive learning Students were provided with various stimuli to help their learning like providing them with different scenarios to inspire them to explore every possible method to solve problems asking them graded and high order thinking questions to enhance their creativity and critical thinking skills and giving them carefully designed differentiated and challenging tasks to enrich their useful and meaningful learning opportunities in classrooms Teachers also provided timely and constructive feedbacks and compliments to students as recognition and reinforcement of their learning outcomes
Teachers also tended to have frequent applications of various information technology techniques and devices like the computing systems
visualizers ipads as well as the electronic whiteboards with the simultaneous response system to help reinforce their teaching strategies in creating a more interactive and effective learning environment to make learning and teaching more effective Teachers had been looking into the possibility of making a wider use of e-learning strategies like providing students with e-learning packages and resources through the eClass platform introducing e-textbooks to students and subscribing for them i-books for self-directed learning The first task had been taken for a few years while the other two tasks were still put under study
To improve the teaching strategies on catering for learning diversities our school had joined with other schools in the Learning Circle of Catering
for Learning Diversities organized by EDB to keep an interflow of related ideas and strategies with other schools The school had also participated in the research on ldquoHong Kong In-service Teachersrsquo Self-efficacy and Readiness for Differentiated Instruction for Diverse Learnersrsquo organized by the Faculty of Education of The Chinese University of Hong Kong in order to have a better understanding on the preparedness and readiness of our teachers at catering for learning diversities
Our teachers had also engaged themselves in an active sharing of teaching strategies as they contributed proactively their articles to the
publication of a Collection of Teaching Recollections of Teachers of True Light Girlsrsquo College called lsquoTrue Light Sharingrsquo in the last school year As seen from the four sections in the book teachers of different subjects shared with their colleagues and teachers of other schools their teaching plans lesson tips glowing new ideas in teaching as well as some teaching reflections
Teachers had been actively making use of the Collaborative Teaching Scheme and the Common Free Periods to work together and to learn from
each other for the purpose of refining and further developing their teaching strategies Through the Collaborative Teaching Scheme teachers teaching the same subjects or within the same KLA worked in teams each consisting of two or three teachers to work out and implement together some teaching plans with peer lesson observation and evaluation Specific attention was paid to develop teaching strategies for cross-curricular and cooperative learning while the scheming of student-oriented lessons to enhance active student involvement and learning autonomy was also emphasized with concerns for provoking high-order thinking and catering for learning diversities Common free periods were arranged when setting the timetables for teachers of English Chinese Mathematics and NSS Liberal Studies at each level to enhance their professional teaching collaboration in their lesson preparation and implementation Other subject teachers had mostly taken their own initiative to arrange for themselves the same practice for their professional sharing and development
To further enhance the effectiveness of our teaching strategies in order to bring about satisfactory learning outcomes of students it is still
necessary for our teachers to acquire improve and implement the teaching strategies concerning catering for learning diversities of high achievers low achievers as well as students with special education needs Steps have also to be taken to tailor-make the curriculum of different subjects for meaningful cross-curricular learning Cooperative learning should still be widely practiced not just in junior forms and for only some subjects More importantly teachers should acquire more knowledge and skills in fostering studentsrsquo self-directed learning which includes the use of teaching strategies to facilitate the e-learning and mobile learning of students

33 Assessment Studentsrsquo academic performance and learning outcomes had been continuously assessed by different modes of homework assignments quizzes
term tests and examinations Assessment for learning was greatly emphasized when giving students homework assignments to help consolidate their subject knowledge and
what they had learned in classroom Assignments which included various kinds like workbooks worksheets essay writing surveys projects case studies reports book reviews and newspaper cuttings etc were duly designed with diversified tasks and questions of varied difficulties Improvement could still be made in designing assignments to cater better for studentsrsquo diversified learning needs to adopt wider modes of assessment like self peer and parent assessments and to help students to conduct their self-directed study
To help students to put great emphasis on doing well their homework in order to consolidate their learning outcomes the Homework Submission
Scheme was adopted and implemented in these recent years to make students do and submit their homework assignments properly Together with the homework policies of different subject panels which often included mark deduction for late submission of assignments students had become more punctual and orderly in their homework submission To further encourage students to do well their homework assignments in order to achieve satisfactory learning outcomes the Most Outstanding Homework Performance Award Scheme was still carried out and a total of 44 and 52 students were awarded in the first term and the second term respectively
To have a better supervision from the school management and the subject panel heads on homework assignments to students including the
content and marking of the assignments the assignment inspection policy was carried out which required the subject panel heads to supervise the panel members over their making use of homework assignments in achieving their teaching objectives Panel heads could make use of the standard record forms of assignment inspection to see into the quality and the quantity of the assignments given by teachers and to evaluate the marking of the teachers and the ways they gave the comments and feedbacks The subject panel heads also had to submit their studentsrsquo assignments to the school management for the same kind of inspection
Besides assessment assignments studentsrsquo annual academic performance in school was formally assessed through tests and examinations
which made up the term marks and the examination marks of studentsrsquo annual scores respectively There were two examinations for each level of students every year For tests there were at least two assessments (testassignmentproject) for each subject within each term For junior forms there should be at least one test in the first term and preferably two tests in the second term while for senior forms the two assessments each term should be tests
The New Senior Secondary Curriculum provided teachers with great challenges in different aspects including assessment Teachers had been
especially careful to be accurate in using the standard referencing system to assess students on the levels they attained in different assessments and different subjects Two attempts were still made in the last school year to help teachers to conduct their level marking more confidently The first was to keep joining the HKDSE Mock Examination Papers Exchange Scheme organized by the Association of Principals of Secondary Schools of the Hong Kong Council of the Church of Christ in China Subject teachers who had joined the Scheme found it very helpful to conduct level marking by taking the marking criteria set by other schools as reference and examples The other attempt was to predict for students their levels of attainment in different subjects after the S6 Mid-year Examination and students were given their predicted grades on S6 Parentsrsquo Day as a way to help the students as well as their parents to prepare better for the Mock Examination and HKDSE The school joined for the second time the Pilot Study on Predicted Levels of 2014 Core Subjects (CEML) conducted by the Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority to study on the reliability of our prediction of
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014

studentsrsquo CEML subjects to evaluate teachersrsquo accuracy in level marking while reliable predicted grades will be useful for managing the expectation of students and their parents The School Report of the pilot study showed that there was a satisfactorily high correlation between the predicted grades awarded by our teachers to students and the actual level attained by students in 2014 HKDSE showing that teachers had a good understanding and knowledge on standard referencing and their level marking performance was very reliable
To match much better the level attainment system adopted by the New Senior Secondary Curriculum with the traditional marking system which
was revealed in studentsrsquo Academic Reports it was decided that the passing mark in senior form subjects would be changed from 50 to 40 of the total mark Such a change could also better reflect the possible level attainment obtained by students in HKDSE
Teachers were also very cautious in taking sophisticated procedures in conducting the School-based Assessment in the New Senior Secondary
Curriculum Students were assessed on the same tasks and with the same assessment criteria To achieve this students were given common SBA tasks across classes and the same standard of assessment The same criteria for awarding marks to all students were applied and in doing so consultation among teachers to align the marking criteria was often conducted and trial marking of samples of studentsrsquo work was constantly carried out Marks given were adjusted whenever necessary to ensure consistence of assessment standard Reference materials and archive materials were used to help standardizing marking Proper and sufficient guidance and supervision was provided to students to ensure the quality and authenticity of their work There was feedback and advice on improvement to students after the completion of marking to provide them with a fruitful learning experience

On upholding and sustaining the fine True Light legacies students were acquainted with True Light legacies through learning more about the school history
the Religious Education curricula in S1 S4 and S5 had been revised to include school history for students to learn more about the values and beliefs the school had been practicing
students in general could learn more about the True Light legacies by visiting the School Chapel cum School History Archive which displays rich relics and information of the history of our own school True Light Girlsrsquo College and by visiting also the True Light History Gallery with exhibits showing the history of our Alma Mater as well as the constant interflow and cooperation of True Light schools in Guangzhou and Hong Kong while the School Chapel cum School History Archive was taken as the most suitable venue for students in S1 to have school history lessons and for S4 students to conduct their self-directed study on school history
students of S1 S4 and S5 were guided in Religious Education lessons to study the Chinese version of the book ldquoA Light in the
Land of Sinimrdquo (《光在華夏》) written by the school founder Harriet Noyes to know more about the original True Light beliefs and
spirit and to write reflections as assignments through the TLGC 40th Anniversary publication called ldquoEncountering True Lightrdquo (《遇見真光》) which the S6 students received as the
school souvenirs for their graduation the impact of True Light legacies on many True Light people who had shared their testimonies of their True Light experiences in the book was felt more impressively by the graduates who would be more convicted in living up with the True Light spirits even after leaving school
students were facilitated to live up to the ideal True Light values which were reinforced through the moral and civic education they received in and outside the classroom subjects like Chinese Life Education and Religious Education lessons carried some immersed teaching of moral and civic
education which reflected also the True Light values there were even greater opportunities for students to learn more about core and universal values on hearing guest speakers share
their ideas in school assemblies by participating actively in OLE programmes to widen their horizons and by joining educational trips to learn more widely from people of different places in the world
True Light traditions were reinforced with various school practices and programmes as students were familiarized with the traditional True Light songs and hymns they learnt in Music lessons the school followed the True Light tradition to hold for the first time the S6 Form Association Night on 27 June 2014 evening as a rite
of passage for the graduates to share their school memories and to strengthen their bonds with the school and with each other the Lantern Passing Ceremony was held within the S6 Form Association Night as a True Light traditional ritual for members of the
True Light family to witness how the graduates had grown up with the blessings and education of True Light traditions and how these traditions would then be carried on by their school sisters in school as shown by the passing of the True Light Torch from S6 graduates to S5 students in the ceremony
it has been the tradition of our own school for our S6 graduates to have their Farewell Assembly and it was held on S6 last school day 28 February 2014 with the help of the Religious Education Committee
On fostering the religious atmosphere in the school religious elements were integrated in routine and daily school activities
as morning prayers had been said at around 59 times in the last school year usually on Days 3 4 and 6 by Christian teachers and students
there were prayers Bible sharing and hymn singing led by Christian teachers and Student Fellowship members in school assemblies Education Sunday school ceremonies as well as Christmas and Easter Services

with God and with each other while teams relationships and problem solving skills were also nurtured the Religious Education and Music curricula were reviewed and modified as
thematic studies like those on lsquoloversquo and lsquomeanings of lifersquo were included in the Religious Education curriculum for different levels of students to learn about religion in a lively and collective way
hymns with their rich religious meanings were taught and sung in Music lessons Collaboration with preachers from churches in organizing religious activities and leadership training
A network with HKCCC Hop Yat Church (Kowloon Church) Mongkok Church and Mandarin Church which was helpful and supportive to the holding of religious activities in our school
preachers from various neighbouring churches had helped in many of our religious studies like Teacher Retreat Education Sunday Bible sharing and giving religious services
On enhancing studentsrsquo contribution to society community or voluntary service training programmes were designed and implemented to equip S4 students and student leaders with the
necessary skills and techniques and to engage them in providing the services the Service Learning Programme was introduced to S4 students as a part of their school learning and all S4 students had to
participate in the programme so as to broaden their horizons and arouse their awareness of the needs in the society a Leadership Training Programme was arranged for all student organizers to help them design and organize the service
programmes Students of different levels were facilitated to take part in community service programmes to serve the needy

212 Reflection
The traditional and invaluable spirit of sisterhood had been well nurtured and more established in the past school year with some further strengthening of the sister-forms system the continuing growth of mutual care and cooperation between sister-forms and the strengthening of bonds between students and the alumnae
Based on our existing persisting effort in nurturing sisterhood among students and even between our students and alumnae more and different attempts should still have to make to foster sisterhood among students of the same class the same form the same House within the whole school and even with the other True Light Schools in Hong Kong and Guangzhou Such endeavours could be made through the established mechanisms like the class associations the form associations the four Houses and the Student Union within our school while new initiatives should be sought for strengthening sisterhood among the True Light Schools
Sisterhood within our own school could still be further enhanced with various kinds of games activities and competitions organized at inter-class inter-form and inter-House levels including those very popular established practices like the Interclass Rope Skipping Competition the Interclass Tug-of-war Competition the Athletic Meet and the Swimming Gala It could be very useful and meaningful if more different kinds of inter-class inter-form or inter-House activities would be held like choral speaking debates ball games quizzes and drama festival It was good to have the revived attempts like re-organizing the Inter-House General Quiz and for each House to re-hold its own House Annual General Meeting to raise sisterhood in the House levels There are still more things the Houses could do like re-holding Orientation Gathering for S1 House members to foster sisterhood through the enhancement of the House spirit The Student Union may attempt to organize certain events like the Student Festival to enhance the school spirit of all students
Sisterhood could still be much enhanced through the sister-forms system especially for the sister classes of S2 and S5 More opportunities like sharing games competitions etc should still have to be created for students of the sister classes to have much closer encounters communication and cooperation
There had been certain attempts which could help nurturing sisterhood among the True Light Schools like holding student interflows co-organizing overseas study tours and drama workshops attending each otherrsquos school anniversary thanksgiving services and visiting our Alma Mater in Guangzhou Based on these good practices more attempts in the studentsrsquo level could still be tried out like re-holding the Joint True Light Schools Athletic Meet and organizing joint activities or competitions like debates quizzes and even a drama fest Such sisterhood within the True Light schools could facilitate our working together with greater collective efforts to reinforce the True Light legacies and to demonstrate them to the community
Satisfactory work had been done to facilitate students to learn more about the True Light history values and traditions in order to uphold and sustain the True Light legacies in students More creative and meaningful ways could still be attempted to motivate students to have genuine interests to know more about everything concerning True Light Taking True Light history spirit culture traditions and legacies as the main theme students could be asked to do researches or projects on the issue while even different kinds of competitions games days or carnivals could be held for the purpose
The religious atmosphere in the school had been greatly fostered all through the year with morning prayers religious practices in assemblies Student Fellowship activities and most importantly studentsrsquo religious education in classrooms It could still be further enhanced if students would be led to live with religious beliefs and values in their daily life encountering issues of personal and current affairs with the religious faith and perspectives
Students had been much facilitated to serve the society with training programmes to equip them with the necessary skills and knowledge with voluntary work for them to serve the needed and with commendation on their accomplishments in performing voluntary and community services It is our present practice to have different student bodies in school to organize voluntary services as a part of the annual programmes to provide students with the opportunities to serve the community It would be even more constructive if a Social Service Society could be newly formed to act as an individual student body focusing purely on doing different kinds of social and voluntary services It would be even more fruitful and helpful if students could take both a whole person development approach and a deep concern for our community when they contribute themselves in doing voluntary and community services Students should take their contribution to society as indispensable for their personal growth which should include not just doing community services but also their love care and concern for the development of the community

22 Learning Effectiveness Enhancement 221 Achievements
Major and further steps were taken earnestly by the school to carry on with the realization of the four foci emphasized in the 5-year School Development Plan (2012 ndash 2017) including well-developing studentsrsquo self-direct learning practices well-catering for studentsrsquo learning diversities broadening studentsrsquo learning horizons with cross-curricular learning and enhancing studentsrsquo learning in classroom with cooperative learning The following accomplishments were made with the strenuous and persistent collaborative effort contributed by the whole teaching staff
On developing well studentsrsquo self-direct learning practices students were helped in acquiring and developing self-direct learning skills and habits with the implementation of the e-Learning Pilot
Scheme and the making use of the eClass platform students in S1 and S2 were provided with plenty opportunities in the English lessons to familiarize themselves with the use of ipads
to help develop well their self-direct learning abilities and they found their learning of the English language had become doubly effective as the use of ipads could help them achieve their learning tasks and share their learning outcomes promptly and effectively
students were trained in their junior form study to well equip themselves in the use of ipads for self-direct learning as they were taught and drilled in their S1 to S3 Computer Literacy lessons on the basic use of ipads and process apps in order to cultivate their skills habits and confidence in making use of ipads for their self-direct learning
many Liberal Studies Geography and Science teachers had also made a very wide use of ipads in and outside the classrooms to enhance further studentsrsquo capabilities in using ipads for school learning as well as self-direct learning
studentsrsquo use of ipads in school had been much enhanced by the e-Learning Pilot Scheme which helped provide the WiFi network while the school showed its strong support through providing the additional ipads and process apps
students had also made good use of the eClass platform for their self-direct learning as they did their private study with the many self-direct learning packages prepared and uploaded by teachers of different subjects
students could conduct their self-explorative learning more effectively and conveniently in the newly established E-Learning Centre plans and steps to convert the MMLC into a self-access E-Learning Centre were taken since the start of the last academic year with
the major conversion works taken and completed during the Easter Holiday with school funding the newly established E-Learning Centre was installed with a full coverage of high speed WiFi access a
suitable number of 42 ipads and related furniture the E-Learning Centre started to open to students for their self-direct learning with the use of ipads after the Easter Holiday
students took the multi-functional Student TV as a self-direct learning platform and engaged themselves in it as effective learners by either producing or viewing the Student TV programme the True Light Student TV studio was established with a well-trained production team of students responsible for running different
channels under the supervision of a Supervisory Committee of teacher advisors programmes were produced and broadcast according to schedules for students for school news information and knowledge
building and the viewers mostly found the programmes satisfactory for their self-direct learning reading to learn was persistently promoted to facilitate studentsrsquo self-direct learning
prescribed reading booklists for students were duly prepared by different subject panels for each level and uploaded to either the subject web pages or the school library website and students generally found the prescribed reading could facilitate their self-direct learning
suitable i-books had been sought throughout the year and their subscription could only be made when there would be satisfactory i-books with reasonable costs offered in the market

On catering well for studentsrsquo learning diversities teachers had kept on adopting suitable teaching strategies to make classroom learning effective for students of different learning
abilities like arousing studentsrsquo learning motivation strengthening studentsrsquo language abilities providing students with various kinds of
exposure and it was a common practice for teachers to make use of graded questions and differentiated tasks to better match studentsrsquo abilities
preparing the high achievers for higher achievement by giving them more challenging tasks and learning activities during the lessons to provoke their high-order thinking setting bonus questions or worksheets and designing for them more demanding homework assignments
different learning programmes were provided for high achievers and weaker students like offering off-site courses in Chinese English Mathematics Liberal Studies Physics and Biology for NSS high-achieving students to
further enhance their learning abilities in these subjects arranging after-school tutorial classes for those junior form students who were weak in the main subjects
preparatory measures were attempted to tailor-make the school policies on catering for studentsrsquo learning diversities like joining the Learning Circle of Catering for Learning Diversities organized by EDB to keep interflow of ideas with other schools participating in the research on ldquoHong Kong In-service Teachersrsquo Self-efficacy and Readiness for Differentiated Instruction for
Diverse Learnersrsquo organized by the Faculty of Education of The Chinese University of Hong Kong to have a better understanding on the preparedness and readiness of our teachers at catering for learning diversities
taking the initiative within members of the Academic Standing Committee to prepare the school much better in catering for learning diversities like taking steps to further review the school policies and strategies on the issue to conduct a further study on studentsrsquo learning diversities and to coordinate the teaching strategies adopted by different subjects to cater for learning diversities
On broadening studentsrsquo learning horizons with cross-curricular learning the Language Across Curriculum project was implemented promoting cross-curricular learning with English as the teaching medium
a cross-panel Language Across Curriculum Coordinating Team was set up comprising of a Vice-principal four English teachers one Mathematics teachers and one Integrated Science teacher
with the advice and guidance of a hired consultant teachers of the LAC team had worked out and developed a total of 24 cross-curricular learning and teaching packages on English Mathematics and Integrated Science for the junior form students including worksheets on both language and content items as well as interactive activities and games to be used in lessons
these learning and teaching materials would be fully utilized in the new school year while they would also serve as examples for other EMI subjects to develop cross-curricular learning materials with English
the 24 LAC teaching and learning packages with interactive learning activities and graded exercises on English History and Geography were successfully put into practice in the junior form lessons
the annual Cross-curricular Learning Day activities were carried successfully on 21st February providing students with task-oriented learning opportunities to learn more effectively and creatively without subject boundaries like
lsquoThe Changing Face of Centralrsquo (S1) lsquoWhatrsquos on the Menursquo (S2) lsquoField Study in Kingrsquos Parkrsquo (S3) lsquoLearning Positive Traits from Famous Peoplersquo (S4) and lsquoWorking Realityrsquo (S5)
studentsrsquo language proficiency had been greatly enhanced as students had to accomplish tasks like writing and orally presenting reports in their Cross-curricular Learning Day activities
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014
- 16 -
initial steps to develop tailor-made curricula to promote cross-curricular learning were taken as subject panels especially those within the same key learning areas were encouraged to identify suitable cross-curricular topics
across subjects some teachers especially those within the same key learning areas were encouraged to include cross-curricular elements in their
collaborative teaching plans On enhancing studentsrsquo learning in classroom with cooperative learning many teachers had participated quite actively in many professional development activities concerning cooperative learning including
peer lesson observation experience sharing on the practice of the related teaching strategies
many teachers had included cooperative elements in their lessons like including cooperative learning elements in their collaborative teaching plans practicing cooperative learning more in junior form lessons
students were equipped with cooperative learning skills in junior forms Liberal Studies lessons with high demands of interactive learning and creativity were taken as the most appropriate platform for
students to start acquiring and practicing cooperative learning skills in junior forms cooperative learning was also quite frequently applied in S1-S3 classrooms especially by teachers of subjects like English History
Integrated Science and Geography
222 Reflection Studentsrsquo self-directed learning practices had developed quite satisfactorily in the past school year through the wide practice of
e-learning the making good use of the Student TV and the insistence on reading to learn but there is still plenty room for improvement Both teachers and students should have some better understanding of the real benefits and strategies of self-directed learning for
enhancing learning effectiveness There should be more professional development on self-directed learning for teachers including both the philosophies and teaching strategies Teachers should engage students meaningfully and effectively in their self-directed learning to compensate for the lack of sufficient time for students to learn just in the classroom Students on the other hand should still have to develop the habit of self-directed learning so that they could learn more widely and freely beyond the constraints of classroom learning
To develop e-learning for effective self-directed learning it is very necessary to have the sufficient provision of both the hardware and software For hardware more ipads should be provided for students for the convenience of their mobile learning and classroom sharing and plans should be taken to cover the whole school campus with WiFi access Both teachers and students should be encouraged to use the newly established E-Learning Centre for lessons or self-directed learning As for software teachers should be given more room and support to enable them to prepare more e-learning lessons and teaching packages as well as self-access learning materials or packages for studentsrsquo self-directed learning More suitable apps for educational and instructional purposes should have been purchased
The Student TV should still be much better developed as an effective platform for studentsrsquo self-directed learning To produce better programmes both in quantity and quality for self-directed learning more and more students should be trained and supported to become more active in producing and broadcasting self-direct learning programmes for students More broadcasting time should be given while it will be more useful if students could have more and easier accesses to programmes produced by the Student TV

To promote self-directed learning through reading a more enriched reading atmosphere in school should still be enhanced Students should be much encouraged to make good use of the prescribed reading lists for their self-directed academic pursuit by asking them to provide diffused information acquired from prescribed readings to accomplish their assignments or by giving them bonus term marks Persistent efforts in finding and subscribing suitable ibooks for students should still be attempted to facilitate studentsrsquo self-direct learning
The increasing needs in catering for studentsrsquo learning diversities require both the school and the teachers to take more appropriate actions teachers should further develop a better awareness of the importance of catering for learner differences as both effective and
indispensable in helping all students not just the low achievers they should be encouraged to participate actively in learning circles of teachers of the same or other schools to develop suitable and effective strategies to be applied in classrooms for the purpose
the school should take steps to look into the real situation of learning diversities of our students and to work out school-based policies and development programmes to equip the school and the teachers with the necessary knowledge and strategies to enhance studentsrsquo learning through catering for their learning diversities
both the teachers and school should also prepare themselves to provide help and support to those students with special education needs who have been growing in number in recent years
Based on the contemporary success in making use of cross-curricular learning to enhance studentsrsquo learning effectiveness some better measures could still be taken to enrich and improve the Cross Curricular Learning Day activities to refine the attempts at developing and implementing the Language Across Curriculum and to working out a practical school-based curriculum for cross-curricular learning the Cross-curricular Learning Day in providing students with task-oriented or theme-based leaning opportunities should also
integrate other ingredients to develop students as effective learners like learning outside the classroom and enhancing their skills in e-learning mobile learning as well as self-directed learning
cross-curricular learning through Language Across Curriculum should include not just English with History Geography Mathematics and Integrated Science but also with all other EMI academic subjects so that both the language and the academic subjects could reinforce one another in studentsrsquo learning and there should be better coordination to facilitate teachersrsquo cooperation and to incorporate well the LAC lessons into the teaching schedules of the subjects concerned
subject panels should be much encouraged and supported to review their curricula to identify suitable topics and themes for cross-curricular learning in order to work out the school-based tailor-made cross-curricular learning curricula
Cooperative learning should still be further enforced especially in junior forms in order to familiarize students in the earliest stage of the secondary school study with the unique learning skills and styles and teachers should still be much encouraged and facilitated to widely practice cooperative learning by providing them with the necessary materials needed for cooperative learning requiring them to work with each other in collaborative teaching to work out and implement the teaching plans with cooperative learning elements and asking them to start with the junior forms to try out the strategies for cooperative learning

23 Gifted Education Development
231 Achievements With sufficient preparatory work in the previous year this academic year saw the progressive development of gifted education in True Light Girls College With concerted efforts of the Committee members new initiatives were raised and relevant issues and concerns were explored On the administrative level The Gifted Education Committee was officially formed The committee set up gifted education policy and implemented certain projects in
the year Aiming to identify students gifted in different domains and provide suitable learning opportunities for them talent pools in S2 and S3 were
set up focusing on performance of eight domains namely Chinese English Mathematics Science Music Physical Education Art and Leadership In each domain of each form 16 students were selected as gifted by respective subject teachers or class teachers The talent pools were made accessible for all teachers so that all of them could identify gifted students in certain domains when necessary
Towards the end of the academic year talent pools were updated for the new academic year A system was developed for managing the ongoing pull-out programmes The system categorized the running programmes concerned
on subject-based criteria On students level In this year the nomination process of students to join off-site enrichment and extension programmes provided by Gifted Education
Section of EDB the Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education local tertiary institutions and universities was carried out smoothly A leadership training programme was successfully organized in August 2014 for potential student leaders All S4 students were assigned to join The Hong Kong Award for Young People (AYP) which is a scheme promoting all-round
development and exploring ones talent and potential One committee member teacher was assigned to each of the 4 classes to monitor students completion of the scheme
Two talks were held for students throughout the year One aimed at informing S4 students of the rationale and implementation of AYP Another one is for S2 and S3 students introducing the rationale of talent pool and how students should go all out to develop their talents
On teachers level Teachers were invited to contribute to the development of talent pool During the process they were introduced the definition of
giftedness and some selective criteria of gifted students
On parents level Mr Patrick Lam Associate Director of the Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education was invited to be the guest speaker of a seminar for
parents on Parents Day in February The talk introduced the ideas of giftedness and it received positive responses from the parents

232 Reflection
The goals set were achieved well in the previous academic year It is deemed that improvements on certain areas of the Committee could be made for future development of gifted education in breadth and depth All members of the group should have a basic and unanimous understanding as to how gifted education is defined and how its
development is implemented on the school level It is time for all members to receive further training provided by the Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education Core members of the group should receive more advanced training especially on the administrative level More meetings and informal exchanges should take place for achieving such an aim
With the development of the talent pool it should be introduced to all teaching staff thoroughly so that they are more aware of its existence and use
AYP is to be implemented in both S4 and S5 Last year the completion rate of the scheme was not satisfactory as teachers in charge found it difficult to monitor students progress frequently and regularly Next year AYP ambassadors will be assigned in all S4 and S5 classes It is hoped that they can facilitate the monitoring work as well as the promotional work of relevant activities
Gifted education in classroom is one of the concerns of the Committee A staff development programme regarding high-order thinking skills is to be held in next year helping teachers familiarize themselves with how such skills can be developed among students in classroom
24 Career Education Enrichment

On helping students set clear goals on future study and career The QEF project was completed on 30 April 2014 Programmes were arranged for students teachers and parents to enrich their
career knowledge and experiences Subject panels provided a wide variety of activities to inspire students for the pursuit of their further study and career opportunities such
as visiting RTHK attending a CEO talk from KCS and a public lecture on ldquoExplore the World of Medicinerdquo Some students found the participation in the OLE activities inspired them in setting up their own goals Reflections on goal set up for
study and career can be seen in S6 studentsrsquo Student Learning Profile and the OEA
242 Reflection The school has been promoting career education to the stakeholders at school Even though there were difficulties in the implementation phase it was a good start Some teachers may not fully understand the importance of career education to all students More professional development on career
guidance should be provided to teachers so that they will be better equipped for providing more comprehensive support to the students More CRE activities were organized but the teachers could better help the students to consolidate their learning and relate their
experiences to career planning so as to arouse studentsrsquo awareness to the importance of career planning For the Career Education Curriculum it would be introduced in S3 in 2014-2015 Students could have an earlier awareness which can
help them make a more informed choice for their study and career

3 Learning and Teaching 31 Learning Experiences
Our students have been with pride and perseverance putting the call of the School Mission into their daily learning as they always tend to lsquothink
independentlyrsquo and lsquolearn proactivelyrsquo in their academic pursuit Taking such approaches in learning both in and outside the classroom students find that they could make the most out of their various learning experiences as they striving for the best academic performance
Through their daily learning in classroom students did not just acquire knowledge subject-wise while developing their various generic skills they
could also learn to treasure important universal values when they came across the core elements in value education including moral civic and environmental education which had been immerged with the different subjects they studied These invaluable learning experiences could help students establish correct and positive attitudes towards life which is very useful for them to live and enrich their everyday life and to foster their whole person development
Students became very effective learners in and outside the classroom with the help of information technology When in classrooms students
were highly engaged in each lesson with teachers making the frequent use of various information technology devices like the computing system the electronic whiteboard the Simultaneous Response System and the overhead projector as well as different audio-visual aids to enrich their learning experiences Students could also make use of various e-learning provisions in school to conduct their own self-directed learning outside the classroom In recent years students could study with the e-learning packages uploaded to the eClass platform by their subject teachers and conduct their private study with the help of the computer in the Computer Room Since last Easter students could also use ipads for their self-directed study in the newly-established E-Learning Centre
Junior form studentsrsquo learning in classrooms was also much facilitated with some new ingredients inserted in their lessons For instance students
in S1 and S2 could learn with ipads in English lessons to accomplish their learning tasks and to share promptly and effectively their learning outcomes with classmates Junior form students attending Liberal Studies Integrated Science and Computer Literacy periods would also often find themselves learning lively and actively through ipads
Furthermore junior form students had also come across with a new learning experience in their Language across Curriculum lessons with
subjects like English Mathematics History Geography and Integrated Science Learning with the tailor-made cross-curricular materials which include innovative worksheets as well as interactive games and activities students found it marvelous as their study of the English language and the subject content of Mathematics Science and Humanities could reinforce each other
Drama education was introduced as a new element in the English learning of junior form students with the hope that this integration of the
lsquodramarsquo elements in the English periods would make the lessons more impressive and appealing to students while students could learn in a more creative and interactive way the listening writing reading and speaking skills in the learning of the language
Junior form students had also got used to making use of cooperative learning in class to help maximize their learning effectiveness and outcomes
especially in lessons of English Liberal Studies History and Geography For senior form students there was still a strong tendency for them to take less than three elective subjects in their NSS study In this school year
after their application for dropping elective subjects had been approved after the last Final Examination there are now 58 students in S5 and 92 students in S6 studying less than three elective subjects Meanwhile there are already 11 students in S4 studying only two elective subjects many were S4 repeaters who could only take two elective subjects for their study Moreover there are only 7 students (out of 37) still studied M1 in S6 while a total of 18 (out of 36) had withdrawn their study of M2
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014
- 22 -
With the growing dropping rate of M1 and M2 in S5 and S6 there would only be a class of students admitted to S4 this year given the opportunity to study the Mathematics extensions but this study would only take place after they have been promoted to S5 In the meantime those S6 and S5 students who had withdrawn their study of an elective subject had still to attend supplementary Chinese and English lessons two periods for each language per cycle in the first term or the second term respectively For other spare periods these students had to conduct their self-directed learning in the school library while class and subject teachers were well aware of giving them more and better support through guidance or providing them with more supplementary work or exercises Those students who had withdrawn from studying the Mathematics extension parts had to attend supplementary Mathematics (Core) lessons to concentrate on improving their performance in the subject
Senior form students could also have other learning experiences within their normal lessons like Religious Education lessons for Moral amp Civic
Education PE lessons for Physical Development Career Education lessons in S4 for Career-Related Experiences as well as Aesthetic Development lessons For Career Education though it was not included as normal lessons in S5 and S6 it had still been implemented for the students as immersed programmes conducted in class teachersrsquo periods or assembly time for S5 and S6
Besides learning through the formal curriculum in classrooms students also learned without boundaries outside the classroom They took part
actively in the Cross-curricular Learning Day learning across subject boundaries in the form of thematic study like lsquoThe Changing Face of Centralrsquo (S1) lsquoWhatrsquos on the Menursquo (S2) lsquoField Study in Kingrsquos Parkrsquo (S3) lsquoLearning Positive Traits from Famous Peoplersquo (S4) and lsquoWorking Realityrsquo (S5) Moreover students enjoyed something like a knowledge carnival in the re-organized Inter-House General Quiz when both the House teams and the House members as audience were asked of questions from all the subjects they studied
Students also learned in a lively and creative way and gained significantly when they participated in some exchange or interflow activities or
attended the various enrichment or enhancement courses organized by the school or when they acquired other learning experiences outside the classroom
Students were given the opportunities to learn in other schools when they joined in some student interflow schemes like the Local Student
Exchange Scheme co-organized with Hong Kong True Light Middle School on April 1-3 2014 as well as with Queen Elizabeth School on April 9-10 2014 Students had also twice the time to have interflows with students from Guangzhou True Light Middle School on November 6-7 2013 and April 30 2014 Students who had become buddies of the student visitors from other schools could have especially gone through some brand new and unforgettable learning experiences
The Capacity Enhancement Grant (CEG) and the Diversity Learning (DLG) were well made use of to provide students with extra support to
further enrich their knowledge to enhance better their learning capacity and develop deeper their interests and skills Through CEG there were Enrichment Courses for S1-S3 Gifted Students in Mathematics an Interactive Drama Performance Course for S2 students Drama Courses to enhance S4 and S5 students in their English Learning Chinese Debating Courses for S2 to S4 students Physics Courses on lsquoArchitecture amp Mechanicsrsquo and lsquoElectromagnetismrsquo biotechnology experiments for Biology students in senior forms a Beginner Digital Photography Course and Student TV Training Course Through DLG there included a Learning English through Debating Extension Course a Learning English through Social Issues and Pop Culture Extension Course workshops on Chinese writing and composition Biology courses on lsquoForensic Sciencersquo and lsquoBiotechnology Experimentsrsquo and Mathematics and Liberal Studies enhancement courses for NSS students
Studentsrsquo knowledge horizons were also broadened when they participated in a variety of extra-curricular or co-curricular activities like visits
field trips and study tours abroad like to Singapore in January 2014 on Environmental Historical Cultural and English studies to mainland China (Beijing) for Cultural Studies and to Taiwan on Music Interfow Different subject panels had also worked through their respective academic societies to provide various innovative life-wide learning activities to arouse studentsrsquo interests and to enhance their ability in learning the disciplines Talks of academics or scholars had also been organized to help arouse studentsrsquo social consciousness and academic concerns

32 Teaching Strategies Our teachers had been incessantly acquiring and attempting to put into practice different kinds of teaching strategies to cater for the various
learning needs of our students in order to help them achieve the best learning outcomes Teachers always took up the role of facilitators in classrooms focusing at constructing an interactive classroom in order to arouse studentsrsquo learning motivation and help encourage their proactive learning Students were provided with various stimuli to help their learning like providing them with different scenarios to inspire them to explore every possible method to solve problems asking them graded and high order thinking questions to enhance their creativity and critical thinking skills and giving them carefully designed differentiated and challenging tasks to enrich their useful and meaningful learning opportunities in classrooms Teachers also provided timely and constructive feedbacks and compliments to students as recognition and reinforcement of their learning outcomes
Teachers also tended to have frequent applications of various information technology techniques and devices like the computing systems
visualizers ipads as well as the electronic whiteboards with the simultaneous response system to help reinforce their teaching strategies in creating a more interactive and effective learning environment to make learning and teaching more effective Teachers had been looking into the possibility of making a wider use of e-learning strategies like providing students with e-learning packages and resources through the eClass platform introducing e-textbooks to students and subscribing for them i-books for self-directed learning The first task had been taken for a few years while the other two tasks were still put under study
To improve the teaching strategies on catering for learning diversities our school had joined with other schools in the Learning Circle of Catering
for Learning Diversities organized by EDB to keep an interflow of related ideas and strategies with other schools The school had also participated in the research on ldquoHong Kong In-service Teachersrsquo Self-efficacy and Readiness for Differentiated Instruction for Diverse Learnersrsquo organized by the Faculty of Education of The Chinese University of Hong Kong in order to have a better understanding on the preparedness and readiness of our teachers at catering for learning diversities
Our teachers had also engaged themselves in an active sharing of teaching strategies as they contributed proactively their articles to the
publication of a Collection of Teaching Recollections of Teachers of True Light Girlsrsquo College called lsquoTrue Light Sharingrsquo in the last school year As seen from the four sections in the book teachers of different subjects shared with their colleagues and teachers of other schools their teaching plans lesson tips glowing new ideas in teaching as well as some teaching reflections
Teachers had been actively making use of the Collaborative Teaching Scheme and the Common Free Periods to work together and to learn from
each other for the purpose of refining and further developing their teaching strategies Through the Collaborative Teaching Scheme teachers teaching the same subjects or within the same KLA worked in teams each consisting of two or three teachers to work out and implement together some teaching plans with peer lesson observation and evaluation Specific attention was paid to develop teaching strategies for cross-curricular and cooperative learning while the scheming of student-oriented lessons to enhance active student involvement and learning autonomy was also emphasized with concerns for provoking high-order thinking and catering for learning diversities Common free periods were arranged when setting the timetables for teachers of English Chinese Mathematics and NSS Liberal Studies at each level to enhance their professional teaching collaboration in their lesson preparation and implementation Other subject teachers had mostly taken their own initiative to arrange for themselves the same practice for their professional sharing and development
To further enhance the effectiveness of our teaching strategies in order to bring about satisfactory learning outcomes of students it is still
necessary for our teachers to acquire improve and implement the teaching strategies concerning catering for learning diversities of high achievers low achievers as well as students with special education needs Steps have also to be taken to tailor-make the curriculum of different subjects for meaningful cross-curricular learning Cooperative learning should still be widely practiced not just in junior forms and for only some subjects More importantly teachers should acquire more knowledge and skills in fostering studentsrsquo self-directed learning which includes the use of teaching strategies to facilitate the e-learning and mobile learning of students
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014

33 Assessment Studentsrsquo academic performance and learning outcomes had been continuously assessed by different modes of homework assignments quizzes
term tests and examinations Assessment for learning was greatly emphasized when giving students homework assignments to help consolidate their subject knowledge and
what they had learned in classroom Assignments which included various kinds like workbooks worksheets essay writing surveys projects case studies reports book reviews and newspaper cuttings etc were duly designed with diversified tasks and questions of varied difficulties Improvement could still be made in designing assignments to cater better for studentsrsquo diversified learning needs to adopt wider modes of assessment like self peer and parent assessments and to help students to conduct their self-directed study
To help students to put great emphasis on doing well their homework in order to consolidate their learning outcomes the Homework Submission
Scheme was adopted and implemented in these recent years to make students do and submit their homework assignments properly Together with the homework policies of different subject panels which often included mark deduction for late submission of assignments students had become more punctual and orderly in their homework submission To further encourage students to do well their homework assignments in order to achieve satisfactory learning outcomes the Most Outstanding Homework Performance Award Scheme was still carried out and a total of 44 and 52 students were awarded in the first term and the second term respectively
To have a better supervision from the school management and the subject panel heads on homework assignments to students including the
content and marking of the assignments the assignment inspection policy was carried out which required the subject panel heads to supervise the panel members over their making use of homework assignments in achieving their teaching objectives Panel heads could make use of the standard record forms of assignment inspection to see into the quality and the quantity of the assignments given by teachers and to evaluate the marking of the teachers and the ways they gave the comments and feedbacks The subject panel heads also had to submit their studentsrsquo assignments to the school management for the same kind of inspection
Besides assessment assignments studentsrsquo annual academic performance in school was formally assessed through tests and examinations
which made up the term marks and the examination marks of studentsrsquo annual scores respectively There were two examinations for each level of students every year For tests there were at least two assessments (testassignmentproject) for each subject within each term For junior forms there should be at least one test in the first term and preferably two tests in the second term while for senior forms the two assessments each term should be tests
The New Senior Secondary Curriculum provided teachers with great challenges in different aspects including assessment Teachers had been
especially careful to be accurate in using the standard referencing system to assess students on the levels they attained in different assessments and different subjects Two attempts were still made in the last school year to help teachers to conduct their level marking more confidently The first was to keep joining the HKDSE Mock Examination Papers Exchange Scheme organized by the Association of Principals of Secondary Schools of the Hong Kong Council of the Church of Christ in China Subject teachers who had joined the Scheme found it very helpful to conduct level marking by taking the marking criteria set by other schools as reference and examples The other attempt was to predict for students their levels of attainment in different subjects after the S6 Mid-year Examination and students were given their predicted grades on S6 Parentsrsquo Day as a way to help the students as well as their parents to prepare better for the Mock Examination and HKDSE The school joined for the second time the Pilot Study on Predicted Levels of 2014 Core Subjects (CEML) conducted by the Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority to study on the reliability of our prediction of
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014
- 25 -
studentsrsquo CEML subjects to evaluate teachersrsquo accuracy in level marking while reliable predicted grades will be useful for managing the expectation of students and their parents The School Report of the pilot study showed that there was a satisfactorily high correlation between the predicted grades awarded by our teachers to students and the actual level attained by students in 2014 HKDSE showing that teachers had a good understanding and knowledge on standard referencing and their level marking performance was very reliable
To match much better the level attainment system adopted by the New Senior Secondary Curriculum with the traditional marking system which
was revealed in studentsrsquo Academic Reports it was decided that the passing mark in senior form subjects would be changed from 50 to 40 of the total mark Such a change could also better reflect the possible level attainment obtained by students in HKDSE
Teachers were also very cautious in taking sophisticated procedures in conducting the School-based Assessment in the New Senior Secondary
Curriculum Students were assessed on the same tasks and with the same assessment criteria To achieve this students were given common SBA tasks across classes and the same standard of assessment The same criteria for awarding marks to all students were applied and in doing so consultation among teachers to align the marking criteria was often conducted and trial marking of samples of studentsrsquo work was constantly carried out Marks given were adjusted whenever necessary to ensure consistence of assessment standard Reference materials and archive materials were used to help standardizing marking Proper and sufficient guidance and supervision was provided to students to ensure the quality and authenticity of their work There was feedback and advice on improvement to students after the completion of marking to provide them with a fruitful learning experience

211 Achievements
Our school has been putting prime emphases on providing quality education for our students which includes very significantly the nurturing of their whole person development through the cultivation in them the True Light spirit Through this lsquoTrue Light Spirit Cultivationrsquo our students will be internalized with the invaluable True Light Girlsrsquo Qualities which include perseverance fitness modesty sacrifice illumination dedication awareness and versatility to live up to the School Motto and to shine forth as the light of the world This lsquoTrue Light Spirit Cultivationrsquo which has been stated as the first major concern in our School Development Plan (2012-2017) matches well with our school vision which aims at bringing up our students who will lsquogrow in loversquo and lsquocontribute to societyrsquo in their all-round development In the second year of the implementation of the School Development Plan notable achievements had been accomplished in further enhancing the spirit of sisterhood upholding and sustaining the fine True Light legacies fostering the religious atmosphere in the school and enhancing studentsrsquo contribution to society in the aspect of lsquoTrue Light Spirit Cultivationrsquo
On further enhancing the spirit of sisterhood the sister class system as bonds amongst the sister classes had been much fortified
S1 Form Association Inauguration Ceremony held on 31 March 2014 provided the good opportunity to strengthen sisterhood of S1 and S4 sister classes as S1 students received great help and support from their elder school sisters in S4 in preparing for the various performances in the ceremony which included choir singing dancing English drama English and Putonghua choral verse speaking
sisterhood among the sister classes of S3 and S6 was much nurtured as S3 students showed their gratitude towards their elder school sisters in S6 by preparing for them hand-made souvenirs upon their graduation
S1 students were provided with care and guidance in school programmes from their senior school sisters S1 students were given help and support from their elder school sisters in S1 Orientation Days elder schoolmates in S3 or S4 served also as student mentors in the S1 Mentoring Programme to help their younger S1 school
sisters to adapt themselves smoothly to their new secondary school life new initiatives were taken to further nurture sisterhood

On upholding and sustaining the fine True Light legacies students were acquainted with True Light legacies through learning more about the school history
the Religious Education curricula in S1 S4 and S5 had been revised to include school history for students to learn more about the values and beliefs the school had been practicing
students in general could learn more about the True Light legacies by visiting the School Chapel cum School History Archive which displays rich relics and information of the history of our own school True Light Girlsrsquo College and by visiting also the True Light History Gallery with exhibits showing the history of our Alma Mater as well as the constant interflow and cooperation of True Light schools in Guangzhou and Hong Kong while the School Chapel cum School History Archive was taken as the most suitable venue for students in S1 to have school history lessons and for S4 students to conduct their self-directed study on school history
students of S1 S4 and S5 were guided in Religious Education lessons to study the Chinese version of the book ldquoA Light in the
Land of Sinimrdquo (《光在華夏》) written by the school founder Harriet Noyes to know more about the original True Light beliefs and
spirit and to write reflections as assignments through the TLGC 40th Anniversary publication called ldquoEncountering True Lightrdquo (《遇見真光》) which the S6 students received as the
school souvenirs for their graduation the impact of True Light legacies on many True Light people who had shared their testimonies of their True Light experiences in the book was felt more impressively by the graduates who would be more convicted in living up with the True Light spirits even after leaving school
students were facilitated to live up to the ideal True Light values which were reinforced through the moral and civic education they received in and outside the classroom subjects like Chinese Life Education and Religious Education lessons carried some immersed teaching of moral and civic
education which reflected also the True Light values there were even greater opportunities for students to learn more about core and universal values on hearing guest speakers share
their ideas in school assemblies by participating actively in OLE programmes to widen their horizons and by joining educational trips to learn more widely from people of different places in the world
True Light traditions were reinforced with various school practices and programmes as students were familiarized with the traditional True Light songs and hymns they learnt in Music lessons the school followed the True Light tradition to hold for the first time the S6 Form Association Night on 27 June 2014 evening as a rite
of passage for the graduates to share their school memories and to strengthen their bonds with the school and with each other the Lantern Passing Ceremony was held within the S6 Form Association Night as a True Light traditional ritual for members of the
True Light family to witness how the graduates had grown up with the blessings and education of True Light traditions and how these traditions would then be carried on by their school sisters in school as shown by the passing of the True Light Torch from S6 graduates to S5 students in the ceremony
it has been the tradition of our own school for our S6 graduates to have their Farewell Assembly and it was held on S6 last school day 28 February 2014 with the help of the Religious Education Committee
On fostering the religious atmosphere in the school religious elements were integrated in routine and daily school activities
as morning prayers had been said at around 59 times in the last school year usually on Days 3 4 and 6 by Christian teachers and students
there were prayers Bible sharing and hymn singing led by Christian teachers and Student Fellowship members in school assemblies Education Sunday school ceremonies as well as Christmas and Easter Services

with God and with each other while teams relationships and problem solving skills were also nurtured the Religious Education and Music curricula were reviewed and modified as
thematic studies like those on lsquoloversquo and lsquomeanings of lifersquo were included in the Religious Education curriculum for different levels of students to learn about religion in a lively and collective way
hymns with their rich religious meanings were taught and sung in Music lessons Collaboration with preachers from churches in organizing religious activities and leadership training
A network with HKCCC Hop Yat Church (Kowloon Church) Mongkok Church and Mandarin Church which was helpful and supportive to the holding of religious activities in our school
preachers from various neighbouring churches had helped in many of our religious studies like Teacher Retreat Education Sunday Bible sharing and giving religious services
On enhancing studentsrsquo contribution to society community or voluntary service training programmes were designed and implemented to equip S4 students and student leaders with the
necessary skills and techniques and to engage them in providing the services the Service Learning Programme was introduced to S4 students as a part of their school learning and all S4 students had to
participate in the programme so as to broaden their horizons and arouse their awareness of the needs in the society a Leadership Training Programme was arranged for all student organizers to help them design and organize the service
programmes Students of different levels were facilitated to take part in community service programmes to serve the needy

212 Reflection
The traditional and invaluable spirit of sisterhood had been well nurtured and more established in the past school year with some further strengthening of the sister-forms system the continuing growth of mutual care and cooperation between sister-forms and the strengthening of bonds between students and the alumnae
Based on our existing persisting effort in nurturing sisterhood among students and even between our students and alumnae more and different attempts should still have to make to foster sisterhood among students of the same class the same form the same House within the whole school and even with the other True Light Schools in Hong Kong and Guangzhou Such endeavours could be made through the established mechanisms like the class associations the form associations the four Houses and the Student Union within our school while new initiatives should be sought for strengthening sisterhood among the True Light Schools
Sisterhood within our own school could still be further enhanced with various kinds of games activities and competitions organized at inter-class inter-form and inter-House levels including those very popular established practices like the Interclass Rope Skipping Competition the Interclass Tug-of-war Competition the Athletic Meet and the Swimming Gala It could be very useful and meaningful if more different kinds of inter-class inter-form or inter-House activities would be held like choral speaking debates ball games quizzes and drama festival It was good to have the revived attempts like re-organizing the Inter-House General Quiz and for each House to re-hold its own House Annual General Meeting to raise sisterhood in the House levels There are still more things the Houses could do like re-holding Orientation Gathering for S1 House members to foster sisterhood through the enhancement of the House spirit The Student Union may attempt to organize certain events like the Student Festival to enhance the school spirit of all students
Sisterhood could still be much enhanced through the sister-forms system especially for the sister classes of S2 and S5 More opportunities like sharing games competitions etc should still have to be created for students of the sister classes to have much closer encounters communication and cooperation
There had been certain attempts which could help nurturing sisterhood among the True Light Schools like holding student interflows co-organizing overseas study tours and drama workshops attending each otherrsquos school anniversary thanksgiving services and visiting our Alma Mater in Guangzhou Based on these good practices more attempts in the studentsrsquo level could still be tried out like re-holding the Joint True Light Schools Athletic Meet and organizing joint activities or competitions like debates quizzes and even a drama fest Such sisterhood within the True Light schools could facilitate our working together with greater collective efforts to reinforce the True Light legacies and to demonstrate them to the community
Satisfactory work had been done to facilitate students to learn more about the True Light history values and traditions in order to uphold and sustain the True Light legacies in students More creative and meaningful ways could still be attempted to motivate students to have genuine interests to know more about everything concerning True Light Taking True Light history spirit culture traditions and legacies as the main theme students could be asked to do researches or projects on the issue while even different kinds of competitions games days or carnivals could be held for the purpose
The religious atmosphere in the school had been greatly fostered all through the year with morning prayers religious practices in assemblies Student Fellowship activities and most importantly studentsrsquo religious education in classrooms It could still be further enhanced if students would be led to live with religious beliefs and values in their daily life encountering issues of personal and current affairs with the religious faith and perspectives
Students had been much facilitated to serve the society with training programmes to equip them with the necessary skills and knowledge with voluntary work for them to serve the needed and with commendation on their accomplishments in performing voluntary and community services It is our present practice to have different student bodies in school to organize voluntary services as a part of the annual programmes to provide students with the opportunities to serve the community It would be even more constructive if a Social Service Society could be newly formed to act as an individual student body focusing purely on doing different kinds of social and voluntary services It would be even more fruitful and helpful if students could take both a whole person development approach and a deep concern for our community when they contribute themselves in doing voluntary and community services Students should take their contribution to society as indispensable for their personal growth which should include not just doing community services but also their love care and concern for the development of the community

22 Learning Effectiveness Enhancement 221 Achievements
Major and further steps were taken earnestly by the school to carry on with the realization of the four foci emphasized in the 5-year School Development Plan (2012 ndash 2017) including well-developing studentsrsquo self-direct learning practices well-catering for studentsrsquo learning diversities broadening studentsrsquo learning horizons with cross-curricular learning and enhancing studentsrsquo learning in classroom with cooperative learning The following accomplishments were made with the strenuous and persistent collaborative effort contributed by the whole teaching staff
On developing well studentsrsquo self-direct learning practices students were helped in acquiring and developing self-direct learning skills and habits with the implementation of the e-Learning Pilot
Scheme and the making use of the eClass platform students in S1 and S2 were provided with plenty opportunities in the English lessons to familiarize themselves with the use of ipads
to help develop well their self-direct learning abilities and they found their learning of the English language had become doubly effective as the use of ipads could help them achieve their learning tasks and share their learning outcomes promptly and effectively
students were trained in their junior form study to well equip themselves in the use of ipads for self-direct learning as they were taught and drilled in their S1 to S3 Computer Literacy lessons on the basic use of ipads and process apps in order to cultivate their skills habits and confidence in making use of ipads for their self-direct learning
many Liberal Studies Geography and Science teachers had also made a very wide use of ipads in and outside the classrooms to enhance further studentsrsquo capabilities in using ipads for school learning as well as self-direct learning
studentsrsquo use of ipads in school had been much enhanced by the e-Learning Pilot Scheme which helped provide the WiFi network while the school showed its strong support through providing the additional ipads and process apps
students had also made good use of the eClass platform for their self-direct learning as they did their private study with the many self-direct learning packages prepared and uploaded by teachers of different subjects
students could conduct their self-explorative learning more effectively and conveniently in the newly established E-Learning Centre plans and steps to convert the MMLC into a self-access E-Learning Centre were taken since the start of the last academic year with
the major conversion works taken and completed during the Easter Holiday with school funding the newly established E-Learning Centre was installed with a full coverage of high speed WiFi access a
suitable number of 42 ipads and related furniture the E-Learning Centre started to open to students for their self-direct learning with the use of ipads after the Easter Holiday
students took the multi-functional Student TV as a self-direct learning platform and engaged themselves in it as effective learners by either producing or viewing the Student TV programme the True Light Student TV studio was established with a well-trained production team of students responsible for running different
channels under the supervision of a Supervisory Committee of teacher advisors programmes were produced and broadcast according to schedules for students for school news information and knowledge
building and the viewers mostly found the programmes satisfactory for their self-direct learning reading to learn was persistently promoted to facilitate studentsrsquo self-direct learning
prescribed reading booklists for students were duly prepared by different subject panels for each level and uploaded to either the subject web pages or the school library website and students generally found the prescribed reading could facilitate their self-direct learning
suitable i-books had been sought throughout the year and their subscription could only be made when there would be satisfactory i-books with reasonable costs offered in the market

On catering well for studentsrsquo learning diversities teachers had kept on adopting suitable teaching strategies to make classroom learning effective for students of different learning
abilities like arousing studentsrsquo learning motivation strengthening studentsrsquo language abilities providing students with various kinds of
exposure and it was a common practice for teachers to make use of graded questions and differentiated tasks to better match studentsrsquo abilities
preparing the high achievers for higher achievement by giving them more challenging tasks and learning activities during the lessons to provoke their high-order thinking setting bonus questions or worksheets and designing for them more demanding homework assignments
different learning programmes were provided for high achievers and weaker students like offering off-site courses in Chinese English Mathematics Liberal Studies Physics and Biology for NSS high-achieving students to
further enhance their learning abilities in these subjects arranging after-school tutorial classes for those junior form students who were weak in the main subjects
preparatory measures were attempted to tailor-make the school policies on catering for studentsrsquo learning diversities like joining the Learning Circle of Catering for Learning Diversities organized by EDB to keep interflow of ideas with other schools participating in the research on ldquoHong Kong In-service Teachersrsquo Self-efficacy and Readiness for Differentiated Instruction for
Diverse Learnersrsquo organized by the Faculty of Education of The Chinese University of Hong Kong to have a better understanding on the preparedness and readiness of our teachers at catering for learning diversities
taking the initiative within members of the Academic Standing Committee to prepare the school much better in catering for learning diversities like taking steps to further review the school policies and strategies on the issue to conduct a further study on studentsrsquo learning diversities and to coordinate the teaching strategies adopted by different subjects to cater for learning diversities
On broadening studentsrsquo learning horizons with cross-curricular learning the Language Across Curriculum project was implemented promoting cross-curricular learning with English as the teaching medium
a cross-panel Language Across Curriculum Coordinating Team was set up comprising of a Vice-principal four English teachers one Mathematics teachers and one Integrated Science teacher
with the advice and guidance of a hired consultant teachers of the LAC team had worked out and developed a total of 24 cross-curricular learning and teaching packages on English Mathematics and Integrated Science for the junior form students including worksheets on both language and content items as well as interactive activities and games to be used in lessons
these learning and teaching materials would be fully utilized in the new school year while they would also serve as examples for other EMI subjects to develop cross-curricular learning materials with English
the 24 LAC teaching and learning packages with interactive learning activities and graded exercises on English History and Geography were successfully put into practice in the junior form lessons
the annual Cross-curricular Learning Day activities were carried successfully on 21st February providing students with task-oriented learning opportunities to learn more effectively and creatively without subject boundaries like
lsquoThe Changing Face of Centralrsquo (S1) lsquoWhatrsquos on the Menursquo (S2) lsquoField Study in Kingrsquos Parkrsquo (S3) lsquoLearning Positive Traits from Famous Peoplersquo (S4) and lsquoWorking Realityrsquo (S5)
studentsrsquo language proficiency had been greatly enhanced as students had to accomplish tasks like writing and orally presenting reports in their Cross-curricular Learning Day activities
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014

initial steps to develop tailor-made curricula to promote cross-curricular learning were taken as subject panels especially those within the same key learning areas were encouraged to identify suitable cross-curricular topics
across subjects some teachers especially those within the same key learning areas were encouraged to include cross-curricular elements in their
collaborative teaching plans On enhancing studentsrsquo learning in classroom with cooperative learning many teachers had participated quite actively in many professional development activities concerning cooperative learning including
peer lesson observation experience sharing on the practice of the related teaching strategies
many teachers had included cooperative elements in their lessons like including cooperative learning elements in their collaborative teaching plans practicing cooperative learning more in junior form lessons
students were equipped with cooperative learning skills in junior forms Liberal Studies lessons with high demands of interactive learning and creativity were taken as the most appropriate platform for
students to start acquiring and practicing cooperative learning skills in junior forms cooperative learning was also quite frequently applied in S1-S3 classrooms especially by teachers of subjects like English History
Integrated Science and Geography
222 Reflection Studentsrsquo self-directed learning practices had developed quite satisfactorily in the past school year through the wide practice of
e-learning the making good use of the Student TV and the insistence on reading to learn but there is still plenty room for improvement Both teachers and students should have some better understanding of the real benefits and strategies of self-directed learning for
enhancing learning effectiveness There should be more professional development on self-directed learning for teachers including both the philosophies and teaching strategies Teachers should engage students meaningfully and effectively in their self-directed learning to compensate for the lack of sufficient time for students to learn just in the classroom Students on the other hand should still have to develop the habit of self-directed learning so that they could learn more widely and freely beyond the constraints of classroom learning
To develop e-learning for effective self-directed learning it is very necessary to have the sufficient provision of both the hardware and software For hardware more ipads should be provided for students for the convenience of their mobile learning and classroom sharing and plans should be taken to cover the whole school campus with WiFi access Both teachers and students should be encouraged to use the newly established E-Learning Centre for lessons or self-directed learning As for software teachers should be given more room and support to enable them to prepare more e-learning lessons and teaching packages as well as self-access learning materials or packages for studentsrsquo self-directed learning More suitable apps for educational and instructional purposes should have been purchased
The Student TV should still be much better developed as an effective platform for studentsrsquo self-directed learning To produce better programmes both in quantity and quality for self-directed learning more and more students should be trained and supported to become more active in producing and broadcasting self-direct learning programmes for students More broadcasting time should be given while it will be more useful if students could have more and easier accesses to programmes produced by the Student TV
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014

To promote self-directed learning through reading a more enriched reading atmosphere in school should still be enhanced Students should be much encouraged to make good use of the prescribed reading lists for their self-directed academic pursuit by asking them to provide diffused information acquired from prescribed readings to accomplish their assignments or by giving them bonus term marks Persistent efforts in finding and subscribing suitable ibooks for students should still be attempted to facilitate studentsrsquo self-direct learning
The increasing needs in catering for studentsrsquo learning diversities require both the school and the teachers to take more appropriate actions teachers should further develop a better awareness of the importance of catering for learner differences as both effective and
indispensable in helping all students not just the low achievers they should be encouraged to participate actively in learning circles of teachers of the same or other schools to develop suitable and effective strategies to be applied in classrooms for the purpose
the school should take steps to look into the real situation of learning diversities of our students and to work out school-based policies and development programmes to equip the school and the teachers with the necessary knowledge and strategies to enhance studentsrsquo learning through catering for their learning diversities
both the teachers and school should also prepare themselves to provide help and support to those students with special education needs who have been growing in number in recent years
Based on the contemporary success in making use of cross-curricular learning to enhance studentsrsquo learning effectiveness some better measures could still be taken to enrich and improve the Cross Curricular Learning Day activities to refine the attempts at developing and implementing the Language Across Curriculum and to working out a practical school-based curriculum for cross-curricular learning the Cross-curricular Learning Day in providing students with task-oriented or theme-based leaning opportunities should also
integrate other ingredients to develop students as effective learners like learning outside the classroom and enhancing their skills in e-learning mobile learning as well as self-directed learning
cross-curricular learning through Language Across Curriculum should include not just English with History Geography Mathematics and Integrated Science but also with all other EMI academic subjects so that both the language and the academic subjects could reinforce one another in studentsrsquo learning and there should be better coordination to facilitate teachersrsquo cooperation and to incorporate well the LAC lessons into the teaching schedules of the subjects concerned
subject panels should be much encouraged and supported to review their curricula to identify suitable topics and themes for cross-curricular learning in order to work out the school-based tailor-made cross-curricular learning curricula
Cooperative learning should still be further enforced especially in junior forms in order to familiarize students in the earliest stage of the secondary school study with the unique learning skills and styles and teachers should still be much encouraged and facilitated to widely practice cooperative learning by providing them with the necessary materials needed for cooperative learning requiring them to work with each other in collaborative teaching to work out and implement the teaching plans with cooperative learning elements and asking them to start with the junior forms to try out the strategies for cooperative learning

23 Gifted Education Development
231 Achievements With sufficient preparatory work in the previous year this academic year saw the progressive development of gifted education in True Light Girls College With concerted efforts of the Committee members new initiatives were raised and relevant issues and concerns were explored On the administrative level The Gifted Education Committee was officially formed The committee set up gifted education policy and implemented certain projects in
the year Aiming to identify students gifted in different domains and provide suitable learning opportunities for them talent pools in S2 and S3 were
set up focusing on performance of eight domains namely Chinese English Mathematics Science Music Physical Education Art and Leadership In each domain of each form 16 students were selected as gifted by respective subject teachers or class teachers The talent pools were made accessible for all teachers so that all of them could identify gifted students in certain domains when necessary
Towards the end of the academic year talent pools were updated for the new academic year A system was developed for managing the ongoing pull-out programmes The system categorized the running programmes concerned
on subject-based criteria On students level In this year the nomination process of students to join off-site enrichment and extension programmes provided by Gifted Education
Section of EDB the Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education local tertiary institutions and universities was carried out smoothly A leadership training programme was successfully organized in August 2014 for potential student leaders All S4 students were assigned to join The Hong Kong Award for Young People (AYP) which is a scheme promoting all-round
development and exploring ones talent and potential One committee member teacher was assigned to each of the 4 classes to monitor students completion of the scheme
Two talks were held for students throughout the year One aimed at informing S4 students of the rationale and implementation of AYP Another one is for S2 and S3 students introducing the rationale of talent pool and how students should go all out to develop their talents
On teachers level Teachers were invited to contribute to the development of talent pool During the process they were introduced the definition of
giftedness and some selective criteria of gifted students
On parents level Mr Patrick Lam Associate Director of the Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education was invited to be the guest speaker of a seminar for
parents on Parents Day in February The talk introduced the ideas of giftedness and it received positive responses from the parents

232 Reflection
The goals set were achieved well in the previous academic year It is deemed that improvements on certain areas of the Committee could be made for future development of gifted education in breadth and depth All members of the group should have a basic and unanimous understanding as to how gifted education is defined and how its
development is implemented on the school level It is time for all members to receive further training provided by the Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education Core members of the group should receive more advanced training especially on the administrative level More meetings and informal exchanges should take place for achieving such an aim
With the development of the talent pool it should be introduced to all teaching staff thoroughly so that they are more aware of its existence and use
AYP is to be implemented in both S4 and S5 Last year the completion rate of the scheme was not satisfactory as teachers in charge found it difficult to monitor students progress frequently and regularly Next year AYP ambassadors will be assigned in all S4 and S5 classes It is hoped that they can facilitate the monitoring work as well as the promotional work of relevant activities
Gifted education in classroom is one of the concerns of the Committee A staff development programme regarding high-order thinking skills is to be held in next year helping teachers familiarize themselves with how such skills can be developed among students in classroom
24 Career Education Enrichment
241 Achievements This is the second year of the 5-year School Development Plan 2012-2017 This is a good opportunity for students teachers and parents to understand the importance of career education for the student development through organizing and participating in different programmes This year a wide variety of programmes were organized for all stakeholders to be equipped in career education These should be helpful for students to pursue their own goals with the support from their parents and teachers On enhancing professional development of teachers on career education a staff development programme on Implementation of Career Education in Secondary School was organized for all teachers on 6
January 2014 We invited Dr Ho Yuk Fan the Vice Chairperson of The Hong Kong Association of Careers Masters and Guidance Masters to share the latest information in Career Guidance The teachers were very positive to the programme
A workshop was particularly designed for Career Guidance teachers to understand more about the use of the Career Interest Inventory on 14 March 2014
In addition a professional exchange between Methodist College and us was held on 10 April 2014 Ways for effective implementation of the career guidance programmes at school were shared
The Career Guidance Committee attended a talk on how to use the CLP Grant on 27 February 2014

On equipping senior form students for their planning of future career Based on the student evaluation collected last year the S4 curriculum was modified so that more group discussion was introduced
Students could be more involved in the lessons To supplement the formal lessons lots of activities were arranged for S4 students These included Goal Setting Workshop Simulation
Game 踏步大未來生涯規劃工作坊 Mr Work (Simulation) visits to Chow Tai Fook Immigration Service Institute of Training amp
Development Centaline K11-Art Mall and Mock Court Trial Over 10 programmes were offered to both S5 and S6 students For S6 students there were JUPAS Choice Workshop JUPAS sharing

On arousing the awareness of the importance of career planning in junior forms
Programmes were designed for all junior form levels For S3 there were money management workshop Subject Choice Workshop 財
智 GOAL飛 Workshop S2 was Career Planning Workshop There were also Career Quiz for S1 to S3 students
True Light Bonds was one of the most important programmes for S1 and S4 students designed by the Career Guidance Committee Both S1 and S4 students were given an opportunity to brainstorm their future career they would like to pursue
Japanese and Korean Culture Workshops visits to RTHK and Chinese Cuisine Training Institute were arranged to widen studentsrsquo exposures
On helping students set clear goals on future study and career The QEF project was completed on 30 April 2014 Programmes were arranged for students teachers and parents to enrich their
career knowledge and experiences Subject panels provided a wide variety of activities to inspire students for the pursuit of their further study and career opportunities such
as visiting RTHK attending a CEO talk from KCS and a public lecture on ldquoExplore the World of Medicinerdquo Some students found the participation in the OLE activities inspired them in setting up their own goals Reflections on goal set up for
study and career can be seen in S6 studentsrsquo Student Learning Profile and the OEA
242 Reflection The school has been promoting career education to the stakeholders at school Even though there were difficulties in the implementation phase it was a good start Some teachers may not fully understand the importance of career education to all students More professional development on career
guidance should be provided to teachers so that they will be better equipped for providing more comprehensive support to the students More CRE activities were organized but the teachers could better help the students to consolidate their learning and relate their
experiences to career planning so as to arouse studentsrsquo awareness to the importance of career planning For the Career Education Curriculum it would be introduced in S3 in 2014-2015 Students could have an earlier awareness which can
help them make a more informed choice for their study and career

3 Learning and Teaching 31 Learning Experiences
Our students have been with pride and perseverance putting the call of the School Mission into their daily learning as they always tend to lsquothink
independentlyrsquo and lsquolearn proactivelyrsquo in their academic pursuit Taking such approaches in learning both in and outside the classroom students find that they could make the most out of their various learning experiences as they striving for the best academic performance
Through their daily learning in classroom students did not just acquire knowledge subject-wise while developing their various generic skills they
could also learn to treasure important universal values when they came across the core elements in value education including moral civic and environmental education which had been immerged with the different subjects they studied These invaluable learning experiences could help students establish correct and positive attitudes towards life which is very useful for them to live and enrich their everyday life and to foster their whole person development
Students became very effective learners in and outside the classroom with the help of information technology When in classrooms students
were highly engaged in each lesson with teachers making the frequent use of various information technology devices like the computing system the electronic whiteboard the Simultaneous Response System and the overhead projector as well as different audio-visual aids to enrich their learning experiences Students could also make use of various e-learning provisions in school to conduct their own self-directed learning outside the classroom In recent years students could study with the e-learning packages uploaded to the eClass platform by their subject teachers and conduct their private study with the help of the computer in the Computer Room Since last Easter students could also use ipads for their self-directed study in the newly-established E-Learning Centre
Junior form studentsrsquo learning in classrooms was also much facilitated with some new ingredients inserted in their lessons For instance students
in S1 and S2 could learn with ipads in English lessons to accomplish their learning tasks and to share promptly and effectively their learning outcomes with classmates Junior form students attending Liberal Studies Integrated Science and Computer Literacy periods would also often find themselves learning lively and actively through ipads
Furthermore junior form students had also come across with a new learning experience in their Language across Curriculum lessons with
subjects like English Mathematics History Geography and Integrated Science Learning with the tailor-made cross-curricular materials which include innovative worksheets as well as interactive games and activities students found it marvelous as their study of the English language and the subject content of Mathematics Science and Humanities could reinforce each other
Drama education was introduced as a new element in the English learning of junior form students with the hope that this integration of the
lsquodramarsquo elements in the English periods would make the lessons more impressive and appealing to students while students could learn in a more creative and interactive way the listening writing reading and speaking skills in the learning of the language
Junior form students had also got used to making use of cooperative learning in class to help maximize their learning effectiveness and outcomes
especially in lessons of English Liberal Studies History and Geography For senior form students there was still a strong tendency for them to take less than three elective subjects in their NSS study In this school year
after their application for dropping elective subjects had been approved after the last Final Examination there are now 58 students in S5 and 92 students in S6 studying less than three elective subjects Meanwhile there are already 11 students in S4 studying only two elective subjects many were S4 repeaters who could only take two elective subjects for their study Moreover there are only 7 students (out of 37) still studied M1 in S6 while a total of 18 (out of 36) had withdrawn their study of M2
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014
- 22 -
With the growing dropping rate of M1 and M2 in S5 and S6 there would only be a class of students admitted to S4 this year given the opportunity to study the Mathematics extensions but this study would only take place after they have been promoted to S5 In the meantime those S6 and S5 students who had withdrawn their study of an elective subject had still to attend supplementary Chinese and English lessons two periods for each language per cycle in the first term or the second term respectively For other spare periods these students had to conduct their self-directed learning in the school library while class and subject teachers were well aware of giving them more and better support through guidance or providing them with more supplementary work or exercises Those students who had withdrawn from studying the Mathematics extension parts had to attend supplementary Mathematics (Core) lessons to concentrate on improving their performance in the subject
Senior form students could also have other learning experiences within their normal lessons like Religious Education lessons for Moral amp Civic
Education PE lessons for Physical Development Career Education lessons in S4 for Career-Related Experiences as well as Aesthetic Development lessons For Career Education though it was not included as normal lessons in S5 and S6 it had still been implemented for the students as immersed programmes conducted in class teachersrsquo periods or assembly time for S5 and S6
Besides learning through the formal curriculum in classrooms students also learned without boundaries outside the classroom They took part
actively in the Cross-curricular Learning Day learning across subject boundaries in the form of thematic study like lsquoThe Changing Face of Centralrsquo (S1) lsquoWhatrsquos on the Menursquo (S2) lsquoField Study in Kingrsquos Parkrsquo (S3) lsquoLearning Positive Traits from Famous Peoplersquo (S4) and lsquoWorking Realityrsquo (S5) Moreover students enjoyed something like a knowledge carnival in the re-organized Inter-House General Quiz when both the House teams and the House members as audience were asked of questions from all the subjects they studied
Students also learned in a lively and creative way and gained significantly when they participated in some exchange or interflow activities or
attended the various enrichment or enhancement courses organized by the school or when they acquired other learning experiences outside the classroom
Students were given the opportunities to learn in other schools when they joined in some student interflow schemes like the Local Student
Exchange Scheme co-organized with Hong Kong True Light Middle School on April 1-3 2014 as well as with Queen Elizabeth School on April 9-10 2014 Students had also twice the time to have interflows with students from Guangzhou True Light Middle School on November 6-7 2013 and April 30 2014 Students who had become buddies of the student visitors from other schools could have especially gone through some brand new and unforgettable learning experiences
The Capacity Enhancement Grant (CEG) and the Diversity Learning (DLG) were well made use of to provide students with extra support to
further enrich their knowledge to enhance better their learning capacity and develop deeper their interests and skills Through CEG there were Enrichment Courses for S1-S3 Gifted Students in Mathematics an Interactive Drama Performance Course for S2 students Drama Courses to enhance S4 and S5 students in their English Learning Chinese Debating Courses for S2 to S4 students Physics Courses on lsquoArchitecture amp Mechanicsrsquo and lsquoElectromagnetismrsquo biotechnology experiments for Biology students in senior forms a Beginner Digital Photography Course and Student TV Training Course Through DLG there included a Learning English through Debating Extension Course a Learning English through Social Issues and Pop Culture Extension Course workshops on Chinese writing and composition Biology courses on lsquoForensic Sciencersquo and lsquoBiotechnology Experimentsrsquo and Mathematics and Liberal Studies enhancement courses for NSS students
Studentsrsquo knowledge horizons were also broadened when they participated in a variety of extra-curricular or co-curricular activities like visits
field trips and study tours abroad like to Singapore in January 2014 on Environmental Historical Cultural and English studies to mainland China (Beijing) for Cultural Studies and to Taiwan on Music Interfow Different subject panels had also worked through their respective academic societies to provide various innovative life-wide learning activities to arouse studentsrsquo interests and to enhance their ability in learning the disciplines Talks of academics or scholars had also been organized to help arouse studentsrsquo social consciousness and academic concerns

32 Teaching Strategies Our teachers had been incessantly acquiring and attempting to put into practice different kinds of teaching strategies to cater for the various
learning needs of our students in order to help them achieve the best learning outcomes Teachers always took up the role of facilitators in classrooms focusing at constructing an interactive classroom in order to arouse studentsrsquo learning motivation and help encourage their proactive learning Students were provided with various stimuli to help their learning like providing them with different scenarios to inspire them to explore every possible method to solve problems asking them graded and high order thinking questions to enhance their creativity and critical thinking skills and giving them carefully designed differentiated and challenging tasks to enrich their useful and meaningful learning opportunities in classrooms Teachers also provided timely and constructive feedbacks and compliments to students as recognition and reinforcement of their learning outcomes
Teachers also tended to have frequent applications of various information technology techniques and devices like the computing systems
visualizers ipads as well as the electronic whiteboards with the simultaneous response system to help reinforce their teaching strategies in creating a more interactive and effective learning environment to make learning and teaching more effective Teachers had been looking into the possibility of making a wider use of e-learning strategies like providing students with e-learning packages and resources through the eClass platform introducing e-textbooks to students and subscribing for them i-books for self-directed learning The first task had been taken for a few years while the other two tasks were still put under study
To improve the teaching strategies on catering for learning diversities our school had joined with other schools in the Learning Circle of Catering
for Learning Diversities organized by EDB to keep an interflow of related ideas and strategies with other schools The school had also participated in the research on ldquoHong Kong In-service Teachersrsquo Self-efficacy and Readiness for Differentiated Instruction for Diverse Learnersrsquo organized by the Faculty of Education of The Chinese University of Hong Kong in order to have a better understanding on the preparedness and readiness of our teachers at catering for learning diversities
Our teachers had also engaged themselves in an active sharing of teaching strategies as they contributed proactively their articles to the
publication of a Collection of Teaching Recollections of Teachers of True Light Girlsrsquo College called lsquoTrue Light Sharingrsquo in the last school year As seen from the four sections in the book teachers of different subjects shared with their colleagues and teachers of other schools their teaching plans lesson tips glowing new ideas in teaching as well as some teaching reflections
Teachers had been actively making use of the Collaborative Teaching Scheme and the Common Free Periods to work together and to learn from
each other for the purpose of refining and further developing their teaching strategies Through the Collaborative Teaching Scheme teachers teaching the same subjects or within the same KLA worked in teams each consisting of two or three teachers to work out and implement together some teaching plans with peer lesson observation and evaluation Specific attention was paid to develop teaching strategies for cross-curricular and cooperative learning while the scheming of student-oriented lessons to enhance active student involvement and learning autonomy was also emphasized with concerns for provoking high-order thinking and catering for learning diversities Common free periods were arranged when setting the timetables for teachers of English Chinese Mathematics and NSS Liberal Studies at each level to enhance their professional teaching collaboration in their lesson preparation and implementation Other subject teachers had mostly taken their own initiative to arrange for themselves the same practice for their professional sharing and development
To further enhance the effectiveness of our teaching strategies in order to bring about satisfactory learning outcomes of students it is still
necessary for our teachers to acquire improve and implement the teaching strategies concerning catering for learning diversities of high achievers low achievers as well as students with special education needs Steps have also to be taken to tailor-make the curriculum of different subjects for meaningful cross-curricular learning Cooperative learning should still be widely practiced not just in junior forms and for only some subjects More importantly teachers should acquire more knowledge and skills in fostering studentsrsquo self-directed learning which includes the use of teaching strategies to facilitate the e-learning and mobile learning of students
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014

33 Assessment Studentsrsquo academic performance and learning outcomes had been continuously assessed by different modes of homework assignments quizzes
term tests and examinations Assessment for learning was greatly emphasized when giving students homework assignments to help consolidate their subject knowledge and
what they had learned in classroom Assignments which included various kinds like workbooks worksheets essay writing surveys projects case studies reports book reviews and newspaper cuttings etc were duly designed with diversified tasks and questions of varied difficulties Improvement could still be made in designing assignments to cater better for studentsrsquo diversified learning needs to adopt wider modes of assessment like self peer and parent assessments and to help students to conduct their self-directed study
To help students to put great emphasis on doing well their homework in order to consolidate their learning outcomes the Homework Submission
Scheme was adopted and implemented in these recent years to make students do and submit their homework assignments properly Together with the homework policies of different subject panels which often included mark deduction for late submission of assignments students had become more punctual and orderly in their homework submission To further encourage students to do well their homework assignments in order to achieve satisfactory learning outcomes the Most Outstanding Homework Performance Award Scheme was still carried out and a total of 44 and 52 students were awarded in the first term and the second term respectively
To have a better supervision from the school management and the subject panel heads on homework assignments to students including the
content and marking of the assignments the assignment inspection policy was carried out which required the subject panel heads to supervise the panel members over their making use of homework assignments in achieving their teaching objectives Panel heads could make use of the standard record forms of assignment inspection to see into the quality and the quantity of the assignments given by teachers and to evaluate the marking of the teachers and the ways they gave the comments and feedbacks The subject panel heads also had to submit their studentsrsquo assignments to the school management for the same kind of inspection
Besides assessment assignments studentsrsquo annual academic performance in school was formally assessed through tests and examinations
which made up the term marks and the examination marks of studentsrsquo annual scores respectively There were two examinations for each level of students every year For tests there were at least two assessments (testassignmentproject) for each subject within each term For junior forms there should be at least one test in the first term and preferably two tests in the second term while for senior forms the two assessments each term should be tests
The New Senior Secondary Curriculum provided teachers with great challenges in different aspects including assessment Teachers had been
especially careful to be accurate in using the standard referencing system to assess students on the levels they attained in different assessments and different subjects Two attempts were still made in the last school year to help teachers to conduct their level marking more confidently The first was to keep joining the HKDSE Mock Examination Papers Exchange Scheme organized by the Association of Principals of Secondary Schools of the Hong Kong Council of the Church of Christ in China Subject teachers who had joined the Scheme found it very helpful to conduct level marking by taking the marking criteria set by other schools as reference and examples The other attempt was to predict for students their levels of attainment in different subjects after the S6 Mid-year Examination and students were given their predicted grades on S6 Parentsrsquo Day as a way to help the students as well as their parents to prepare better for the Mock Examination and HKDSE The school joined for the second time the Pilot Study on Predicted Levels of 2014 Core Subjects (CEML) conducted by the Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority to study on the reliability of our prediction of
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014
- 25 -
studentsrsquo CEML subjects to evaluate teachersrsquo accuracy in level marking while reliable predicted grades will be useful for managing the expectation of students and their parents The School Report of the pilot study showed that there was a satisfactorily high correlation between the predicted grades awarded by our teachers to students and the actual level attained by students in 2014 HKDSE showing that teachers had a good understanding and knowledge on standard referencing and their level marking performance was very reliable
To match much better the level attainment system adopted by the New Senior Secondary Curriculum with the traditional marking system which
was revealed in studentsrsquo Academic Reports it was decided that the passing mark in senior form subjects would be changed from 50 to 40 of the total mark Such a change could also better reflect the possible level attainment obtained by students in HKDSE
Teachers were also very cautious in taking sophisticated procedures in conducting the School-based Assessment in the New Senior Secondary
Curriculum Students were assessed on the same tasks and with the same assessment criteria To achieve this students were given common SBA tasks across classes and the same standard of assessment The same criteria for awarding marks to all students were applied and in doing so consultation among teachers to align the marking criteria was often conducted and trial marking of samples of studentsrsquo work was constantly carried out Marks given were adjusted whenever necessary to ensure consistence of assessment standard Reference materials and archive materials were used to help standardizing marking Proper and sufficient guidance and supervision was provided to students to ensure the quality and authenticity of their work There was feedback and advice on improvement to students after the completion of marking to provide them with a fruitful learning experience

2 Achievements and Reflection on Major Areas of Concern 21 True Light Spirit Cultivation
211 Achievements
Our school has been putting prime emphases on providing quality education for our students which includes very significantly the nurturing of their whole person development through the cultivation in them the True Light spirit Through this lsquoTrue Light Spirit Cultivationrsquo our students will be internalized with the invaluable True Light Girlsrsquo Qualities which include perseverance fitness modesty sacrifice illumination dedication awareness and versatility to live up to the School Motto and to shine forth as the light of the world This lsquoTrue Light Spirit Cultivationrsquo which has been stated as the first major concern in our School Development Plan (2012-2017) matches well with our school vision which aims at bringing up our students who will lsquogrow in loversquo and lsquocontribute to societyrsquo in their all-round development In the second year of the implementation of the School Development Plan notable achievements had been accomplished in further enhancing the spirit of sisterhood upholding and sustaining the fine True Light legacies fostering the religious atmosphere in the school and enhancing studentsrsquo contribution to society in the aspect of lsquoTrue Light Spirit Cultivationrsquo
On further enhancing the spirit of sisterhood the sister class system as bonds amongst the sister classes had been much fortified
S1 Form Association Inauguration Ceremony held on 31 March 2014 provided the good opportunity to strengthen sisterhood of S1 and S4 sister classes as S1 students received great help and support from their elder school sisters in S4 in preparing for the various performances in the ceremony which included choir singing dancing English drama English and Putonghua choral verse speaking
sisterhood among the sister classes of S3 and S6 was much nurtured as S3 students showed their gratitude towards their elder school sisters in S6 by preparing for them hand-made souvenirs upon their graduation
S1 students were provided with care and guidance in school programmes from their senior school sisters S1 students were given help and support from their elder school sisters in S1 Orientation Days elder schoolmates in S3 or S4 served also as student mentors in the S1 Mentoring Programme to help their younger S1 school
sisters to adapt themselves smoothly to their new secondary school life new initiatives were taken to further nurture sisterhood
the newly participated EDB programme called ldquoPupil Ambassador Active Bright and Caringrsquo had been implemented in all levels which involved also cooperation among students of corresponding sister classes
the House System was refined to nurture sisterhood through the cultivation of the House spirit especially with the revived practice of letting each House to hold its own Annual General Meeting
bonds between students and alumnae were fostered as the Alumni Mentoring Scheme was carried out to invite our alumnae who had excelled themselves in their professions in different
fields to become mentors of their younger sister schoolmates studying at S6 at school offering them guidance and advice in their career planning and further studies
the alumnae who were well-established in the community with their achievements had been invited to share their experience and expertise with the students in talks or school assemblies

On upholding and sustaining the fine True Light legacies students were acquainted with True Light legacies through learning more about the school history
the Religious Education curricula in S1 S4 and S5 had been revised to include school history for students to learn more about the values and beliefs the school had been practicing
students in general could learn more about the True Light legacies by visiting the School Chapel cum School History Archive which displays rich relics and information of the history of our own school True Light Girlsrsquo College and by visiting also the True Light History Gallery with exhibits showing the history of our Alma Mater as well as the constant interflow and cooperation of True Light schools in Guangzhou and Hong Kong while the School Chapel cum School History Archive was taken as the most suitable venue for students in S1 to have school history lessons and for S4 students to conduct their self-directed study on school history
students of S1 S4 and S5 were guided in Religious Education lessons to study the Chinese version of the book ldquoA Light in the
Land of Sinimrdquo (《光在華夏》) written by the school founder Harriet Noyes to know more about the original True Light beliefs and
spirit and to write reflections as assignments through the TLGC 40th Anniversary publication called ldquoEncountering True Lightrdquo (《遇見真光》) which the S6 students received as the
school souvenirs for their graduation the impact of True Light legacies on many True Light people who had shared their testimonies of their True Light experiences in the book was felt more impressively by the graduates who would be more convicted in living up with the True Light spirits even after leaving school
students were facilitated to live up to the ideal True Light values which were reinforced through the moral and civic education they received in and outside the classroom subjects like Chinese Life Education and Religious Education lessons carried some immersed teaching of moral and civic
education which reflected also the True Light values there were even greater opportunities for students to learn more about core and universal values on hearing guest speakers share
their ideas in school assemblies by participating actively in OLE programmes to widen their horizons and by joining educational trips to learn more widely from people of different places in the world
True Light traditions were reinforced with various school practices and programmes as students were familiarized with the traditional True Light songs and hymns they learnt in Music lessons the school followed the True Light tradition to hold for the first time the S6 Form Association Night on 27 June 2014 evening as a rite
of passage for the graduates to share their school memories and to strengthen their bonds with the school and with each other the Lantern Passing Ceremony was held within the S6 Form Association Night as a True Light traditional ritual for members of the
True Light family to witness how the graduates had grown up with the blessings and education of True Light traditions and how these traditions would then be carried on by their school sisters in school as shown by the passing of the True Light Torch from S6 graduates to S5 students in the ceremony
it has been the tradition of our own school for our S6 graduates to have their Farewell Assembly and it was held on S6 last school day 28 February 2014 with the help of the Religious Education Committee
On fostering the religious atmosphere in the school religious elements were integrated in routine and daily school activities
as morning prayers had been said at around 59 times in the last school year usually on Days 3 4 and 6 by Christian teachers and students
there were prayers Bible sharing and hymn singing led by Christian teachers and Student Fellowship members in school assemblies Education Sunday school ceremonies as well as Christmas and Easter Services

the Student Fellowship played its key role in fostering the religious atmosphere the Junior Fellowship and the Senior Fellowship met regularly for religious activities and sharing the student official members of the two Fellowships had their frequent religious sharing meetings a Gospel Day was organized before the Christmas holidays for students and teachers the LIGHT Summer Camp (4-672014) and a Training Day Camp (2982014) were held to help students reflect on relationships
with God and with each other while teams relationships and problem solving skills were also nurtured the Religious Education and Music curricula were reviewed and modified as
thematic studies like those on lsquoloversquo and lsquomeanings of lifersquo were included in the Religious Education curriculum for different levels of students to learn about religion in a lively and collective way
hymns with their rich religious meanings were taught and sung in Music lessons Collaboration with preachers from churches in organizing religious activities and leadership training
A network with HKCCC Hop Yat Church (Kowloon Church) Mongkok Church and Mandarin Church which was helpful and supportive to the holding of religious activities in our school
preachers from various neighbouring churches had helped in many of our religious studies like Teacher Retreat Education Sunday Bible sharing and giving religious services
On enhancing studentsrsquo contribution to society community or voluntary service training programmes were designed and implemented to equip S4 students and student leaders with the
necessary skills and techniques and to engage them in providing the services the Service Learning Programme was introduced to S4 students as a part of their school learning and all S4 students had to

212 Reflection
The traditional and invaluable spirit of sisterhood had been well nurtured and more established in the past school year with some further strengthening of the sister-forms system the continuing growth of mutual care and cooperation between sister-forms and the strengthening of bonds between students and the alumnae
Based on our existing persisting effort in nurturing sisterhood among students and even between our students and alumnae more and different attempts should still have to make to foster sisterhood among students of the same class the same form the same House within the whole school and even with the other True Light Schools in Hong Kong and Guangzhou Such endeavours could be made through the established mechanisms like the class associations the form associations the four Houses and the Student Union within our school while new initiatives should be sought for strengthening sisterhood among the True Light Schools
Sisterhood within our own school could still be further enhanced with various kinds of games activities and competitions organized at inter-class inter-form and inter-House levels including those very popular established practices like the Interclass Rope Skipping Competition the Interclass Tug-of-war Competition the Athletic Meet and the Swimming Gala It could be very useful and meaningful if more different kinds of inter-class inter-form or inter-House activities would be held like choral speaking debates ball games quizzes and drama festival It was good to have the revived attempts like re-organizing the Inter-House General Quiz and for each House to re-hold its own House Annual General Meeting to raise sisterhood in the House levels There are still more things the Houses could do like re-holding Orientation Gathering for S1 House members to foster sisterhood through the enhancement of the House spirit The Student Union may attempt to organize certain events like the Student Festival to enhance the school spirit of all students
Sisterhood could still be much enhanced through the sister-forms system especially for the sister classes of S2 and S5 More opportunities like sharing games competitions etc should still have to be created for students of the sister classes to have much closer encounters communication and cooperation
There had been certain attempts which could help nurturing sisterhood among the True Light Schools like holding student interflows co-organizing overseas study tours and drama workshops attending each otherrsquos school anniversary thanksgiving services and visiting our Alma Mater in Guangzhou Based on these good practices more attempts in the studentsrsquo level could still be tried out like re-holding the Joint True Light Schools Athletic Meet and organizing joint activities or competitions like debates quizzes and even a drama fest Such sisterhood within the True Light schools could facilitate our working together with greater collective efforts to reinforce the True Light legacies and to demonstrate them to the community
Satisfactory work had been done to facilitate students to learn more about the True Light history values and traditions in order to uphold and sustain the True Light legacies in students More creative and meaningful ways could still be attempted to motivate students to have genuine interests to know more about everything concerning True Light Taking True Light history spirit culture traditions and legacies as the main theme students could be asked to do researches or projects on the issue while even different kinds of competitions games days or carnivals could be held for the purpose
The religious atmosphere in the school had been greatly fostered all through the year with morning prayers religious practices in assemblies Student Fellowship activities and most importantly studentsrsquo religious education in classrooms It could still be further enhanced if students would be led to live with religious beliefs and values in their daily life encountering issues of personal and current affairs with the religious faith and perspectives
Students had been much facilitated to serve the society with training programmes to equip them with the necessary skills and knowledge with voluntary work for them to serve the needed and with commendation on their accomplishments in performing voluntary and community services It is our present practice to have different student bodies in school to organize voluntary services as a part of the annual programmes to provide students with the opportunities to serve the community It would be even more constructive if a Social Service Society could be newly formed to act as an individual student body focusing purely on doing different kinds of social and voluntary services It would be even more fruitful and helpful if students could take both a whole person development approach and a deep concern for our community when they contribute themselves in doing voluntary and community services Students should take their contribution to society as indispensable for their personal growth which should include not just doing community services but also their love care and concern for the development of the community

22 Learning Effectiveness Enhancement 221 Achievements
Major and further steps were taken earnestly by the school to carry on with the realization of the four foci emphasized in the 5-year School Development Plan (2012 ndash 2017) including well-developing studentsrsquo self-direct learning practices well-catering for studentsrsquo learning diversities broadening studentsrsquo learning horizons with cross-curricular learning and enhancing studentsrsquo learning in classroom with cooperative learning The following accomplishments were made with the strenuous and persistent collaborative effort contributed by the whole teaching staff
On developing well studentsrsquo self-direct learning practices students were helped in acquiring and developing self-direct learning skills and habits with the implementation of the e-Learning Pilot
Scheme and the making use of the eClass platform students in S1 and S2 were provided with plenty opportunities in the English lessons to familiarize themselves with the use of ipads
to help develop well their self-direct learning abilities and they found their learning of the English language had become doubly effective as the use of ipads could help them achieve their learning tasks and share their learning outcomes promptly and effectively
students were trained in their junior form study to well equip themselves in the use of ipads for self-direct learning as they were taught and drilled in their S1 to S3 Computer Literacy lessons on the basic use of ipads and process apps in order to cultivate their skills habits and confidence in making use of ipads for their self-direct learning
many Liberal Studies Geography and Science teachers had also made a very wide use of ipads in and outside the classrooms to enhance further studentsrsquo capabilities in using ipads for school learning as well as self-direct learning
studentsrsquo use of ipads in school had been much enhanced by the e-Learning Pilot Scheme which helped provide the WiFi network while the school showed its strong support through providing the additional ipads and process apps
students had also made good use of the eClass platform for their self-direct learning as they did their private study with the many self-direct learning packages prepared and uploaded by teachers of different subjects
students could conduct their self-explorative learning more effectively and conveniently in the newly established E-Learning Centre plans and steps to convert the MMLC into a self-access E-Learning Centre were taken since the start of the last academic year with
the major conversion works taken and completed during the Easter Holiday with school funding the newly established E-Learning Centre was installed with a full coverage of high speed WiFi access a
suitable number of 42 ipads and related furniture the E-Learning Centre started to open to students for their self-direct learning with the use of ipads after the Easter Holiday
students took the multi-functional Student TV as a self-direct learning platform and engaged themselves in it as effective learners by either producing or viewing the Student TV programme the True Light Student TV studio was established with a well-trained production team of students responsible for running different
channels under the supervision of a Supervisory Committee of teacher advisors programmes were produced and broadcast according to schedules for students for school news information and knowledge
building and the viewers mostly found the programmes satisfactory for their self-direct learning reading to learn was persistently promoted to facilitate studentsrsquo self-direct learning
prescribed reading booklists for students were duly prepared by different subject panels for each level and uploaded to either the subject web pages or the school library website and students generally found the prescribed reading could facilitate their self-direct learning
suitable i-books had been sought throughout the year and their subscription could only be made when there would be satisfactory i-books with reasonable costs offered in the market

On catering well for studentsrsquo learning diversities teachers had kept on adopting suitable teaching strategies to make classroom learning effective for students of different learning
abilities like arousing studentsrsquo learning motivation strengthening studentsrsquo language abilities providing students with various kinds of
exposure and it was a common practice for teachers to make use of graded questions and differentiated tasks to better match studentsrsquo abilities
preparing the high achievers for higher achievement by giving them more challenging tasks and learning activities during the lessons to provoke their high-order thinking setting bonus questions or worksheets and designing for them more demanding homework assignments
different learning programmes were provided for high achievers and weaker students like offering off-site courses in Chinese English Mathematics Liberal Studies Physics and Biology for NSS high-achieving students to
further enhance their learning abilities in these subjects arranging after-school tutorial classes for those junior form students who were weak in the main subjects
preparatory measures were attempted to tailor-make the school policies on catering for studentsrsquo learning diversities like joining the Learning Circle of Catering for Learning Diversities organized by EDB to keep interflow of ideas with other schools participating in the research on ldquoHong Kong In-service Teachersrsquo Self-efficacy and Readiness for Differentiated Instruction for
Diverse Learnersrsquo organized by the Faculty of Education of The Chinese University of Hong Kong to have a better understanding on the preparedness and readiness of our teachers at catering for learning diversities
taking the initiative within members of the Academic Standing Committee to prepare the school much better in catering for learning diversities like taking steps to further review the school policies and strategies on the issue to conduct a further study on studentsrsquo learning diversities and to coordinate the teaching strategies adopted by different subjects to cater for learning diversities
On broadening studentsrsquo learning horizons with cross-curricular learning the Language Across Curriculum project was implemented promoting cross-curricular learning with English as the teaching medium
a cross-panel Language Across Curriculum Coordinating Team was set up comprising of a Vice-principal four English teachers one Mathematics teachers and one Integrated Science teacher
with the advice and guidance of a hired consultant teachers of the LAC team had worked out and developed a total of 24 cross-curricular learning and teaching packages on English Mathematics and Integrated Science for the junior form students including worksheets on both language and content items as well as interactive activities and games to be used in lessons
these learning and teaching materials would be fully utilized in the new school year while they would also serve as examples for other EMI subjects to develop cross-curricular learning materials with English
the 24 LAC teaching and learning packages with interactive learning activities and graded exercises on English History and Geography were successfully put into practice in the junior form lessons
the annual Cross-curricular Learning Day activities were carried successfully on 21st February providing students with task-oriented learning opportunities to learn more effectively and creatively without subject boundaries like
lsquoThe Changing Face of Centralrsquo (S1) lsquoWhatrsquos on the Menursquo (S2) lsquoField Study in Kingrsquos Parkrsquo (S3) lsquoLearning Positive Traits from Famous Peoplersquo (S4) and lsquoWorking Realityrsquo (S5)
studentsrsquo language proficiency had been greatly enhanced as students had to accomplish tasks like writing and orally presenting reports in their Cross-curricular Learning Day activities
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014
- 16 -
initial steps to develop tailor-made curricula to promote cross-curricular learning were taken as subject panels especially those within the same key learning areas were encouraged to identify suitable cross-curricular topics
across subjects some teachers especially those within the same key learning areas were encouraged to include cross-curricular elements in their
collaborative teaching plans On enhancing studentsrsquo learning in classroom with cooperative learning many teachers had participated quite actively in many professional development activities concerning cooperative learning including
peer lesson observation experience sharing on the practice of the related teaching strategies
many teachers had included cooperative elements in their lessons like including cooperative learning elements in their collaborative teaching plans practicing cooperative learning more in junior form lessons
students were equipped with cooperative learning skills in junior forms Liberal Studies lessons with high demands of interactive learning and creativity were taken as the most appropriate platform for
students to start acquiring and practicing cooperative learning skills in junior forms cooperative learning was also quite frequently applied in S1-S3 classrooms especially by teachers of subjects like English History
Integrated Science and Geography
222 Reflection Studentsrsquo self-directed learning practices had developed quite satisfactorily in the past school year through the wide practice of
e-learning the making good use of the Student TV and the insistence on reading to learn but there is still plenty room for improvement Both teachers and students should have some better understanding of the real benefits and strategies of self-directed learning for
enhancing learning effectiveness There should be more professional development on self-directed learning for teachers including both the philosophies and teaching strategies Teachers should engage students meaningfully and effectively in their self-directed learning to compensate for the lack of sufficient time for students to learn just in the classroom Students on the other hand should still have to develop the habit of self-directed learning so that they could learn more widely and freely beyond the constraints of classroom learning
To develop e-learning for effective self-directed learning it is very necessary to have the sufficient provision of both the hardware and software For hardware more ipads should be provided for students for the convenience of their mobile learning and classroom sharing and plans should be taken to cover the whole school campus with WiFi access Both teachers and students should be encouraged to use the newly established E-Learning Centre for lessons or self-directed learning As for software teachers should be given more room and support to enable them to prepare more e-learning lessons and teaching packages as well as self-access learning materials or packages for studentsrsquo self-directed learning More suitable apps for educational and instructional purposes should have been purchased
The Student TV should still be much better developed as an effective platform for studentsrsquo self-directed learning To produce better programmes both in quantity and quality for self-directed learning more and more students should be trained and supported to become more active in producing and broadcasting self-direct learning programmes for students More broadcasting time should be given while it will be more useful if students could have more and easier accesses to programmes produced by the Student TV

To promote self-directed learning through reading a more enriched reading atmosphere in school should still be enhanced Students should be much encouraged to make good use of the prescribed reading lists for their self-directed academic pursuit by asking them to provide diffused information acquired from prescribed readings to accomplish their assignments or by giving them bonus term marks Persistent efforts in finding and subscribing suitable ibooks for students should still be attempted to facilitate studentsrsquo self-direct learning
The increasing needs in catering for studentsrsquo learning diversities require both the school and the teachers to take more appropriate actions teachers should further develop a better awareness of the importance of catering for learner differences as both effective and
indispensable in helping all students not just the low achievers they should be encouraged to participate actively in learning circles of teachers of the same or other schools to develop suitable and effective strategies to be applied in classrooms for the purpose
the school should take steps to look into the real situation of learning diversities of our students and to work out school-based policies and development programmes to equip the school and the teachers with the necessary knowledge and strategies to enhance studentsrsquo learning through catering for their learning diversities
both the teachers and school should also prepare themselves to provide help and support to those students with special education needs who have been growing in number in recent years
Based on the contemporary success in making use of cross-curricular learning to enhance studentsrsquo learning effectiveness some better measures could still be taken to enrich and improve the Cross Curricular Learning Day activities to refine the attempts at developing and implementing the Language Across Curriculum and to working out a practical school-based curriculum for cross-curricular learning the Cross-curricular Learning Day in providing students with task-oriented or theme-based leaning opportunities should also
integrate other ingredients to develop students as effective learners like learning outside the classroom and enhancing their skills in e-learning mobile learning as well as self-directed learning
cross-curricular learning through Language Across Curriculum should include not just English with History Geography Mathematics and Integrated Science but also with all other EMI academic subjects so that both the language and the academic subjects could reinforce one another in studentsrsquo learning and there should be better coordination to facilitate teachersrsquo cooperation and to incorporate well the LAC lessons into the teaching schedules of the subjects concerned
subject panels should be much encouraged and supported to review their curricula to identify suitable topics and themes for cross-curricular learning in order to work out the school-based tailor-made cross-curricular learning curricula
Cooperative learning should still be further enforced especially in junior forms in order to familiarize students in the earliest stage of the secondary school study with the unique learning skills and styles and teachers should still be much encouraged and facilitated to widely practice cooperative learning by providing them with the necessary materials needed for cooperative learning requiring them to work with each other in collaborative teaching to work out and implement the teaching plans with cooperative learning elements and asking them to start with the junior forms to try out the strategies for cooperative learning

23 Gifted Education Development
231 Achievements With sufficient preparatory work in the previous year this academic year saw the progressive development of gifted education in True Light Girls College With concerted efforts of the Committee members new initiatives were raised and relevant issues and concerns were explored On the administrative level The Gifted Education Committee was officially formed The committee set up gifted education policy and implemented certain projects in
the year Aiming to identify students gifted in different domains and provide suitable learning opportunities for them talent pools in S2 and S3 were
set up focusing on performance of eight domains namely Chinese English Mathematics Science Music Physical Education Art and Leadership In each domain of each form 16 students were selected as gifted by respective subject teachers or class teachers The talent pools were made accessible for all teachers so that all of them could identify gifted students in certain domains when necessary
Towards the end of the academic year talent pools were updated for the new academic year A system was developed for managing the ongoing pull-out programmes The system categorized the running programmes concerned
on subject-based criteria On students level In this year the nomination process of students to join off-site enrichment and extension programmes provided by Gifted Education
Section of EDB the Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education local tertiary institutions and universities was carried out smoothly A leadership training programme was successfully organized in August 2014 for potential student leaders All S4 students were assigned to join The Hong Kong Award for Young People (AYP) which is a scheme promoting all-round
development and exploring ones talent and potential One committee member teacher was assigned to each of the 4 classes to monitor students completion of the scheme
Two talks were held for students throughout the year One aimed at informing S4 students of the rationale and implementation of AYP Another one is for S2 and S3 students introducing the rationale of talent pool and how students should go all out to develop their talents
On teachers level Teachers were invited to contribute to the development of talent pool During the process they were introduced the definition of
giftedness and some selective criteria of gifted students
On parents level Mr Patrick Lam Associate Director of the Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education was invited to be the guest speaker of a seminar for
parents on Parents Day in February The talk introduced the ideas of giftedness and it received positive responses from the parents

232 Reflection
The goals set were achieved well in the previous academic year It is deemed that improvements on certain areas of the Committee could be made for future development of gifted education in breadth and depth All members of the group should have a basic and unanimous understanding as to how gifted education is defined and how its
development is implemented on the school level It is time for all members to receive further training provided by the Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education Core members of the group should receive more advanced training especially on the administrative level More meetings and informal exchanges should take place for achieving such an aim
With the development of the talent pool it should be introduced to all teaching staff thoroughly so that they are more aware of its existence and use
AYP is to be implemented in both S4 and S5 Last year the completion rate of the scheme was not satisfactory as teachers in charge found it difficult to monitor students progress frequently and regularly Next year AYP ambassadors will be assigned in all S4 and S5 classes It is hoped that they can facilitate the monitoring work as well as the promotional work of relevant activities
Gifted education in classroom is one of the concerns of the Committee A staff development programme regarding high-order thinking skills is to be held in next year helping teachers familiarize themselves with how such skills can be developed among students in classroom
24 Career Education Enrichment
241 Achievements This is the second year of the 5-year School Development Plan 2012-2017 This is a good opportunity for students teachers and parents to understand the importance of career education for the student development through organizing and participating in different programmes This year a wide variety of programmes were organized for all stakeholders to be equipped in career education These should be helpful for students to pursue their own goals with the support from their parents and teachers On enhancing professional development of teachers on career education a staff development programme on Implementation of Career Education in Secondary School was organized for all teachers on 6
January 2014 We invited Dr Ho Yuk Fan the Vice Chairperson of The Hong Kong Association of Careers Masters and Guidance Masters to share the latest information in Career Guidance The teachers were very positive to the programme
A workshop was particularly designed for Career Guidance teachers to understand more about the use of the Career Interest Inventory on 14 March 2014
In addition a professional exchange between Methodist College and us was held on 10 April 2014 Ways for effective implementation of the career guidance programmes at school were shared
The Career Guidance Committee attended a talk on how to use the CLP Grant on 27 February 2014

On equipping senior form students for their planning of future career Based on the student evaluation collected last year the S4 curriculum was modified so that more group discussion was introduced
Students could be more involved in the lessons To supplement the formal lessons lots of activities were arranged for S4 students These included Goal Setting Workshop Simulation
Game 踏步大未來生涯規劃工作坊 Mr Work (Simulation) visits to Chow Tai Fook Immigration Service Institute of Training amp
Development Centaline K11-Art Mall and Mock Court Trial Over 10 programmes were offered to both S5 and S6 students For S6 students there were JUPAS Choice Workshop JUPAS sharing

Japanese and Korean Culture Workshops visits to RTHK and Chinese Cuisine Training Institute were arranged to widen studentsrsquo exposures
On helping students set clear goals on future study and career The QEF project was completed on 30 April 2014 Programmes were arranged for students teachers and parents to enrich their
career knowledge and experiences Subject panels provided a wide variety of activities to inspire students for the pursuit of their further study and career opportunities such
as visiting RTHK attending a CEO talk from KCS and a public lecture on ldquoExplore the World of Medicinerdquo Some students found the participation in the OLE activities inspired them in setting up their own goals Reflections on goal set up for
study and career can be seen in S6 studentsrsquo Student Learning Profile and the OEA
242 Reflection The school has been promoting career education to the stakeholders at school Even though there were difficulties in the implementation phase it was a good start Some teachers may not fully understand the importance of career education to all students More professional development on career
guidance should be provided to teachers so that they will be better equipped for providing more comprehensive support to the students More CRE activities were organized but the teachers could better help the students to consolidate their learning and relate their
experiences to career planning so as to arouse studentsrsquo awareness to the importance of career planning For the Career Education Curriculum it would be introduced in S3 in 2014-2015 Students could have an earlier awareness which can
help them make a more informed choice for their study and career

3 Learning and Teaching 31 Learning Experiences
Our students have been with pride and perseverance putting the call of the School Mission into their daily learning as they always tend to lsquothink
independentlyrsquo and lsquolearn proactivelyrsquo in their academic pursuit Taking such approaches in learning both in and outside the classroom students find that they could make the most out of their various learning experiences as they striving for the best academic performance
Through their daily learning in classroom students did not just acquire knowledge subject-wise while developing their various generic skills they
could also learn to treasure important universal values when they came across the core elements in value education including moral civic and environmental education which had been immerged with the different subjects they studied These invaluable learning experiences could help students establish correct and positive attitudes towards life which is very useful for them to live and enrich their everyday life and to foster their whole person development
Students became very effective learners in and outside the classroom with the help of information technology When in classrooms students
were highly engaged in each lesson with teachers making the frequent use of various information technology devices like the computing system the electronic whiteboard the Simultaneous Response System and the overhead projector as well as different audio-visual aids to enrich their learning experiences Students could also make use of various e-learning provisions in school to conduct their own self-directed learning outside the classroom In recent years students could study with the e-learning packages uploaded to the eClass platform by their subject teachers and conduct their private study with the help of the computer in the Computer Room Since last Easter students could also use ipads for their self-directed study in the newly-established E-Learning Centre
Junior form studentsrsquo learning in classrooms was also much facilitated with some new ingredients inserted in their lessons For instance students
in S1 and S2 could learn with ipads in English lessons to accomplish their learning tasks and to share promptly and effectively their learning outcomes with classmates Junior form students attending Liberal Studies Integrated Science and Computer Literacy periods would also often find themselves learning lively and actively through ipads
Furthermore junior form students had also come across with a new learning experience in their Language across Curriculum lessons with
subjects like English Mathematics History Geography and Integrated Science Learning with the tailor-made cross-curricular materials which include innovative worksheets as well as interactive games and activities students found it marvelous as their study of the English language and the subject content of Mathematics Science and Humanities could reinforce each other
Drama education was introduced as a new element in the English learning of junior form students with the hope that this integration of the
lsquodramarsquo elements in the English periods would make the lessons more impressive and appealing to students while students could learn in a more creative and interactive way the listening writing reading and speaking skills in the learning of the language
Junior form students had also got used to making use of cooperative learning in class to help maximize their learning effectiveness and outcomes
especially in lessons of English Liberal Studies History and Geography For senior form students there was still a strong tendency for them to take less than three elective subjects in their NSS study In this school year
after their application for dropping elective subjects had been approved after the last Final Examination there are now 58 students in S5 and 92 students in S6 studying less than three elective subjects Meanwhile there are already 11 students in S4 studying only two elective subjects many were S4 repeaters who could only take two elective subjects for their study Moreover there are only 7 students (out of 37) still studied M1 in S6 while a total of 18 (out of 36) had withdrawn their study of M2
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014
- 22 -
With the growing dropping rate of M1 and M2 in S5 and S6 there would only be a class of students admitted to S4 this year given the opportunity to study the Mathematics extensions but this study would only take place after they have been promoted to S5 In the meantime those S6 and S5 students who had withdrawn their study of an elective subject had still to attend supplementary Chinese and English lessons two periods for each language per cycle in the first term or the second term respectively For other spare periods these students had to conduct their self-directed learning in the school library while class and subject teachers were well aware of giving them more and better support through guidance or providing them with more supplementary work or exercises Those students who had withdrawn from studying the Mathematics extension parts had to attend supplementary Mathematics (Core) lessons to concentrate on improving their performance in the subject
Senior form students could also have other learning experiences within their normal lessons like Religious Education lessons for Moral amp Civic
Education PE lessons for Physical Development Career Education lessons in S4 for Career-Related Experiences as well as Aesthetic Development lessons For Career Education though it was not included as normal lessons in S5 and S6 it had still been implemented for the students as immersed programmes conducted in class teachersrsquo periods or assembly time for S5 and S6
Besides learning through the formal curriculum in classrooms students also learned without boundaries outside the classroom They took part
actively in the Cross-curricular Learning Day learning across subject boundaries in the form of thematic study like lsquoThe Changing Face of Centralrsquo (S1) lsquoWhatrsquos on the Menursquo (S2) lsquoField Study in Kingrsquos Parkrsquo (S3) lsquoLearning Positive Traits from Famous Peoplersquo (S4) and lsquoWorking Realityrsquo (S5) Moreover students enjoyed something like a knowledge carnival in the re-organized Inter-House General Quiz when both the House teams and the House members as audience were asked of questions from all the subjects they studied
Students also learned in a lively and creative way and gained significantly when they participated in some exchange or interflow activities or
attended the various enrichment or enhancement courses organized by the school or when they acquired other learning experiences outside the classroom
Students were given the opportunities to learn in other schools when they joined in some student interflow schemes like the Local Student
Exchange Scheme co-organized with Hong Kong True Light Middle School on April 1-3 2014 as well as with Queen Elizabeth School on April 9-10 2014 Students had also twice the time to have interflows with students from Guangzhou True Light Middle School on November 6-7 2013 and April 30 2014 Students who had become buddies of the student visitors from other schools could have especially gone through some brand new and unforgettable learning experiences
The Capacity Enhancement Grant (CEG) and the Diversity Learning (DLG) were well made use of to provide students with extra support to
further enrich their knowledge to enhance better their learning capacity and develop deeper their interests and skills Through CEG there were Enrichment Courses for S1-S3 Gifted Students in Mathematics an Interactive Drama Performance Course for S2 students Drama Courses to enhance S4 and S5 students in their English Learning Chinese Debating Courses for S2 to S4 students Physics Courses on lsquoArchitecture amp Mechanicsrsquo and lsquoElectromagnetismrsquo biotechnology experiments for Biology students in senior forms a Beginner Digital Photography Course and Student TV Training Course Through DLG there included a Learning English through Debating Extension Course a Learning English through Social Issues and Pop Culture Extension Course workshops on Chinese writing and composition Biology courses on lsquoForensic Sciencersquo and lsquoBiotechnology Experimentsrsquo and Mathematics and Liberal Studies enhancement courses for NSS students
Studentsrsquo knowledge horizons were also broadened when they participated in a variety of extra-curricular or co-curricular activities like visits
field trips and study tours abroad like to Singapore in January 2014 on Environmental Historical Cultural and English studies to mainland China (Beijing) for Cultural Studies and to Taiwan on Music Interfow Different subject panels had also worked through their respective academic societies to provide various innovative life-wide learning activities to arouse studentsrsquo interests and to enhance their ability in learning the disciplines Talks of academics or scholars had also been organized to help arouse studentsrsquo social consciousness and academic concerns

32 Teaching Strategies Our teachers had been incessantly acquiring and attempting to put into practice different kinds of teaching strategies to cater for the various
learning needs of our students in order to help them achieve the best learning outcomes Teachers always took up the role of facilitators in classrooms focusing at constructing an interactive classroom in order to arouse studentsrsquo learning motivation and help encourage their proactive learning Students were provided with various stimuli to help their learning like providing them with different scenarios to inspire them to explore every possible method to solve problems asking them graded and high order thinking questions to enhance their creativity and critical thinking skills and giving them carefully designed differentiated and challenging tasks to enrich their useful and meaningful learning opportunities in classrooms Teachers also provided timely and constructive feedbacks and compliments to students as recognition and reinforcement of their learning outcomes
Teachers also tended to have frequent applications of various information technology techniques and devices like the computing systems
visualizers ipads as well as the electronic whiteboards with the simultaneous response system to help reinforce their teaching strategies in creating a more interactive and effective learning environment to make learning and teaching more effective Teachers had been looking into the possibility of making a wider use of e-learning strategies like providing students with e-learning packages and resources through the eClass platform introducing e-textbooks to students and subscribing for them i-books for self-directed learning The first task had been taken for a few years while the other two tasks were still put under study
To improve the teaching strategies on catering for learning diversities our school had joined with other schools in the Learning Circle of Catering
for Learning Diversities organized by EDB to keep an interflow of related ideas and strategies with other schools The school had also participated in the research on ldquoHong Kong In-service Teachersrsquo Self-efficacy and Readiness for Differentiated Instruction for Diverse Learnersrsquo organized by the Faculty of Education of The Chinese University of Hong Kong in order to have a better understanding on the preparedness and readiness of our teachers at catering for learning diversities
Our teachers had also engaged themselves in an active sharing of teaching strategies as they contributed proactively their articles to the
publication of a Collection of Teaching Recollections of Teachers of True Light Girlsrsquo College called lsquoTrue Light Sharingrsquo in the last school year As seen from the four sections in the book teachers of different subjects shared with their colleagues and teachers of other schools their teaching plans lesson tips glowing new ideas in teaching as well as some teaching reflections
Teachers had been actively making use of the Collaborative Teaching Scheme and the Common Free Periods to work together and to learn from
each other for the purpose of refining and further developing their teaching strategies Through the Collaborative Teaching Scheme teachers teaching the same subjects or within the same KLA worked in teams each consisting of two or three teachers to work out and implement together some teaching plans with peer lesson observation and evaluation Specific attention was paid to develop teaching strategies for cross-curricular and cooperative learning while the scheming of student-oriented lessons to enhance active student involvement and learning autonomy was also emphasized with concerns for provoking high-order thinking and catering for learning diversities Common free periods were arranged when setting the timetables for teachers of English Chinese Mathematics and NSS Liberal Studies at each level to enhance their professional teaching collaboration in their lesson preparation and implementation Other subject teachers had mostly taken their own initiative to arrange for themselves the same practice for their professional sharing and development
To further enhance the effectiveness of our teaching strategies in order to bring about satisfactory learning outcomes of students it is still
necessary for our teachers to acquire improve and implement the teaching strategies concerning catering for learning diversities of high achievers low achievers as well as students with special education needs Steps have also to be taken to tailor-make the curriculum of different subjects for meaningful cross-curricular learning Cooperative learning should still be widely practiced not just in junior forms and for only some subjects More importantly teachers should acquire more knowledge and skills in fostering studentsrsquo self-directed learning which includes the use of teaching strategies to facilitate the e-learning and mobile learning of students

33 Assessment Studentsrsquo academic performance and learning outcomes had been continuously assessed by different modes of homework assignments quizzes
term tests and examinations Assessment for learning was greatly emphasized when giving students homework assignments to help consolidate their subject knowledge and
what they had learned in classroom Assignments which included various kinds like workbooks worksheets essay writing surveys projects case studies reports book reviews and newspaper cuttings etc were duly designed with diversified tasks and questions of varied difficulties Improvement could still be made in designing assignments to cater better for studentsrsquo diversified learning needs to adopt wider modes of assessment like self peer and parent assessments and to help students to conduct their self-directed study
To help students to put great emphasis on doing well their homework in order to consolidate their learning outcomes the Homework Submission
Scheme was adopted and implemented in these recent years to make students do and submit their homework assignments properly Together with the homework policies of different subject panels which often included mark deduction for late submission of assignments students had become more punctual and orderly in their homework submission To further encourage students to do well their homework assignments in order to achieve satisfactory learning outcomes the Most Outstanding Homework Performance Award Scheme was still carried out and a total of 44 and 52 students were awarded in the first term and the second term respectively
To have a better supervision from the school management and the subject panel heads on homework assignments to students including the
content and marking of the assignments the assignment inspection policy was carried out which required the subject panel heads to supervise the panel members over their making use of homework assignments in achieving their teaching objectives Panel heads could make use of the standard record forms of assignment inspection to see into the quality and the quantity of the assignments given by teachers and to evaluate the marking of the teachers and the ways they gave the comments and feedbacks The subject panel heads also had to submit their studentsrsquo assignments to the school management for the same kind of inspection
Besides assessment assignments studentsrsquo annual academic performance in school was formally assessed through tests and examinations
which made up the term marks and the examination marks of studentsrsquo annual scores respectively There were two examinations for each level of students every year For tests there were at least two assessments (testassignmentproject) for each subject within each term For junior forms there should be at least one test in the first term and preferably two tests in the second term while for senior forms the two assessments each term should be tests
The New Senior Secondary Curriculum provided teachers with great challenges in different aspects including assessment Teachers had been
especially careful to be accurate in using the standard referencing system to assess students on the levels they attained in different assessments and different subjects Two attempts were still made in the last school year to help teachers to conduct their level marking more confidently The first was to keep joining the HKDSE Mock Examination Papers Exchange Scheme organized by the Association of Principals of Secondary Schools of the Hong Kong Council of the Church of Christ in China Subject teachers who had joined the Scheme found it very helpful to conduct level marking by taking the marking criteria set by other schools as reference and examples The other attempt was to predict for students their levels of attainment in different subjects after the S6 Mid-year Examination and students were given their predicted grades on S6 Parentsrsquo Day as a way to help the students as well as their parents to prepare better for the Mock Examination and HKDSE The school joined for the second time the Pilot Study on Predicted Levels of 2014 Core Subjects (CEML) conducted by the Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority to study on the reliability of our prediction of
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014
- 25 -
studentsrsquo CEML subjects to evaluate teachersrsquo accuracy in level marking while reliable predicted grades will be useful for managing the expectation of students and their parents The School Report of the pilot study showed that there was a satisfactorily high correlation between the predicted grades awarded by our teachers to students and the actual level attained by students in 2014 HKDSE showing that teachers had a good understanding and knowledge on standard referencing and their level marking performance was very reliable
To match much better the level attainment system adopted by the New Senior Secondary Curriculum with the traditional marking system which
was revealed in studentsrsquo Academic Reports it was decided that the passing mark in senior form subjects would be changed from 50 to 40 of the total mark Such a change could also better reflect the possible level attainment obtained by students in HKDSE
Teachers were also very cautious in taking sophisticated procedures in conducting the School-based Assessment in the New Senior Secondary
Curriculum Students were assessed on the same tasks and with the same assessment criteria To achieve this students were given common SBA tasks across classes and the same standard of assessment The same criteria for awarding marks to all students were applied and in doing so consultation among teachers to align the marking criteria was often conducted and trial marking of samples of studentsrsquo work was constantly carried out Marks given were adjusted whenever necessary to ensure consistence of assessment standard Reference materials and archive materials were used to help standardizing marking Proper and sufficient guidance and supervision was provided to students to ensure the quality and authenticity of their work There was feedback and advice on improvement to students after the completion of marking to provide them with a fruitful learning experience

On upholding and sustaining the fine True Light legacies students were acquainted with True Light legacies through learning more about the school history
the Religious Education curricula in S1 S4 and S5 had been revised to include school history for students to learn more about the values and beliefs the school had been practicing
students in general could learn more about the True Light legacies by visiting the School Chapel cum School History Archive which displays rich relics and information of the history of our own school True Light Girlsrsquo College and by visiting also the True Light History Gallery with exhibits showing the history of our Alma Mater as well as the constant interflow and cooperation of True Light schools in Guangzhou and Hong Kong while the School Chapel cum School History Archive was taken as the most suitable venue for students in S1 to have school history lessons and for S4 students to conduct their self-directed study on school history
students of S1 S4 and S5 were guided in Religious Education lessons to study the Chinese version of the book ldquoA Light in the
Land of Sinimrdquo (《光在華夏》) written by the school founder Harriet Noyes to know more about the original True Light beliefs and
spirit and to write reflections as assignments through the TLGC 40th Anniversary publication called ldquoEncountering True Lightrdquo (《遇見真光》) which the S6 students received as the
school souvenirs for their graduation the impact of True Light legacies on many True Light people who had shared their testimonies of their True Light experiences in the book was felt more impressively by the graduates who would be more convicted in living up with the True Light spirits even after leaving school
students were facilitated to live up to the ideal True Light values which were reinforced through the moral and civic education they received in and outside the classroom subjects like Chinese Life Education and Religious Education lessons carried some immersed teaching of moral and civic
education which reflected also the True Light values there were even greater opportunities for students to learn more about core and universal values on hearing guest speakers share
their ideas in school assemblies by participating actively in OLE programmes to widen their horizons and by joining educational trips to learn more widely from people of different places in the world
True Light traditions were reinforced with various school practices and programmes as students were familiarized with the traditional True Light songs and hymns they learnt in Music lessons the school followed the True Light tradition to hold for the first time the S6 Form Association Night on 27 June 2014 evening as a rite
of passage for the graduates to share their school memories and to strengthen their bonds with the school and with each other the Lantern Passing Ceremony was held within the S6 Form Association Night as a True Light traditional ritual for members of the
True Light family to witness how the graduates had grown up with the blessings and education of True Light traditions and how these traditions would then be carried on by their school sisters in school as shown by the passing of the True Light Torch from S6 graduates to S5 students in the ceremony
it has been the tradition of our own school for our S6 graduates to have their Farewell Assembly and it was held on S6 last school day 28 February 2014 with the help of the Religious Education Committee
On fostering the religious atmosphere in the school religious elements were integrated in routine and daily school activities
as morning prayers had been said at around 59 times in the last school year usually on Days 3 4 and 6 by Christian teachers and students
there were prayers Bible sharing and hymn singing led by Christian teachers and Student Fellowship members in school assemblies Education Sunday school ceremonies as well as Christmas and Easter Services

with God and with each other while teams relationships and problem solving skills were also nurtured the Religious Education and Music curricula were reviewed and modified as
thematic studies like those on lsquoloversquo and lsquomeanings of lifersquo were included in the Religious Education curriculum for different levels of students to learn about religion in a lively and collective way
hymns with their rich religious meanings were taught and sung in Music lessons Collaboration with preachers from churches in organizing religious activities and leadership training
A network with HKCCC Hop Yat Church (Kowloon Church) Mongkok Church and Mandarin Church which was helpful and supportive to the holding of religious activities in our school
preachers from various neighbouring churches had helped in many of our religious studies like Teacher Retreat Education Sunday Bible sharing and giving religious services
On enhancing studentsrsquo contribution to society community or voluntary service training programmes were designed and implemented to equip S4 students and student leaders with the
necessary skills and techniques and to engage them in providing the services the Service Learning Programme was introduced to S4 students as a part of their school learning and all S4 students had to
participate in the programme so as to broaden their horizons and arouse their awareness of the needs in the society a Leadership Training Programme was arranged for all student organizers to help them design and organize the service
programmes Students of different levels were facilitated to take part in community service programmes to serve the needy

212 Reflection
The traditional and invaluable spirit of sisterhood had been well nurtured and more established in the past school year with some further strengthening of the sister-forms system the continuing growth of mutual care and cooperation between sister-forms and the strengthening of bonds between students and the alumnae
Based on our existing persisting effort in nurturing sisterhood among students and even between our students and alumnae more and different attempts should still have to make to foster sisterhood among students of the same class the same form the same House within the whole school and even with the other True Light Schools in Hong Kong and Guangzhou Such endeavours could be made through the established mechanisms like the class associations the form associations the four Houses and the Student Union within our school while new initiatives should be sought for strengthening sisterhood among the True Light Schools
Sisterhood within our own school could still be further enhanced with various kinds of games activities and competitions organized at inter-class inter-form and inter-House levels including those very popular established practices like the Interclass Rope Skipping Competition the Interclass Tug-of-war Competition the Athletic Meet and the Swimming Gala It could be very useful and meaningful if more different kinds of inter-class inter-form or inter-House activities would be held like choral speaking debates ball games quizzes and drama festival It was good to have the revived attempts like re-organizing the Inter-House General Quiz and for each House to re-hold its own House Annual General Meeting to raise sisterhood in the House levels There are still more things the Houses could do like re-holding Orientation Gathering for S1 House members to foster sisterhood through the enhancement of the House spirit The Student Union may attempt to organize certain events like the Student Festival to enhance the school spirit of all students
Sisterhood could still be much enhanced through the sister-forms system especially for the sister classes of S2 and S5 More opportunities like sharing games competitions etc should still have to be created for students of the sister classes to have much closer encounters communication and cooperation
There had been certain attempts which could help nurturing sisterhood among the True Light Schools like holding student interflows co-organizing overseas study tours and drama workshops attending each otherrsquos school anniversary thanksgiving services and visiting our Alma Mater in Guangzhou Based on these good practices more attempts in the studentsrsquo level could still be tried out like re-holding the Joint True Light Schools Athletic Meet and organizing joint activities or competitions like debates quizzes and even a drama fest Such sisterhood within the True Light schools could facilitate our working together with greater collective efforts to reinforce the True Light legacies and to demonstrate them to the community
Satisfactory work had been done to facilitate students to learn more about the True Light history values and traditions in order to uphold and sustain the True Light legacies in students More creative and meaningful ways could still be attempted to motivate students to have genuine interests to know more about everything concerning True Light Taking True Light history spirit culture traditions and legacies as the main theme students could be asked to do researches or projects on the issue while even different kinds of competitions games days or carnivals could be held for the purpose
The religious atmosphere in the school had been greatly fostered all through the year with morning prayers religious practices in assemblies Student Fellowship activities and most importantly studentsrsquo religious education in classrooms It could still be further enhanced if students would be led to live with religious beliefs and values in their daily life encountering issues of personal and current affairs with the religious faith and perspectives
Students had been much facilitated to serve the society with training programmes to equip them with the necessary skills and knowledge with voluntary work for them to serve the needed and with commendation on their accomplishments in performing voluntary and community services It is our present practice to have different student bodies in school to organize voluntary services as a part of the annual programmes to provide students with the opportunities to serve the community It would be even more constructive if a Social Service Society could be newly formed to act as an individual student body focusing purely on doing different kinds of social and voluntary services It would be even more fruitful and helpful if students could take both a whole person development approach and a deep concern for our community when they contribute themselves in doing voluntary and community services Students should take their contribution to society as indispensable for their personal growth which should include not just doing community services but also their love care and concern for the development of the community

22 Learning Effectiveness Enhancement 221 Achievements
Major and further steps were taken earnestly by the school to carry on with the realization of the four foci emphasized in the 5-year School Development Plan (2012 ndash 2017) including well-developing studentsrsquo self-direct learning practices well-catering for studentsrsquo learning diversities broadening studentsrsquo learning horizons with cross-curricular learning and enhancing studentsrsquo learning in classroom with cooperative learning The following accomplishments were made with the strenuous and persistent collaborative effort contributed by the whole teaching staff
On developing well studentsrsquo self-direct learning practices students were helped in acquiring and developing self-direct learning skills and habits with the implementation of the e-Learning Pilot
Scheme and the making use of the eClass platform students in S1 and S2 were provided with plenty opportunities in the English lessons to familiarize themselves with the use of ipads
to help develop well their self-direct learning abilities and they found their learning of the English language had become doubly effective as the use of ipads could help them achieve their learning tasks and share their learning outcomes promptly and effectively
students were trained in their junior form study to well equip themselves in the use of ipads for self-direct learning as they were taught and drilled in their S1 to S3 Computer Literacy lessons on the basic use of ipads and process apps in order to cultivate their skills habits and confidence in making use of ipads for their self-direct learning
many Liberal Studies Geography and Science teachers had also made a very wide use of ipads in and outside the classrooms to enhance further studentsrsquo capabilities in using ipads for school learning as well as self-direct learning
studentsrsquo use of ipads in school had been much enhanced by the e-Learning Pilot Scheme which helped provide the WiFi network while the school showed its strong support through providing the additional ipads and process apps
students had also made good use of the eClass platform for their self-direct learning as they did their private study with the many self-direct learning packages prepared and uploaded by teachers of different subjects
students could conduct their self-explorative learning more effectively and conveniently in the newly established E-Learning Centre plans and steps to convert the MMLC into a self-access E-Learning Centre were taken since the start of the last academic year with
the major conversion works taken and completed during the Easter Holiday with school funding the newly established E-Learning Centre was installed with a full coverage of high speed WiFi access a
suitable number of 42 ipads and related furniture the E-Learning Centre started to open to students for their self-direct learning with the use of ipads after the Easter Holiday

On catering well for studentsrsquo learning diversities teachers had kept on adopting suitable teaching strategies to make classroom learning effective for students of different learning
abilities like arousing studentsrsquo learning motivation strengthening studentsrsquo language abilities providing students with various kinds of
exposure and it was a common practice for teachers to make use of graded questions and differentiated tasks to better match studentsrsquo abilities
preparing the high achievers for higher achievement by giving them more challenging tasks and learning activities during the lessons to provoke their high-order thinking setting bonus questions or worksheets and designing for them more demanding homework assignments
different learning programmes were provided for high achievers and weaker students like offering off-site courses in Chinese English Mathematics Liberal Studies Physics and Biology for NSS high-achieving students to
further enhance their learning abilities in these subjects arranging after-school tutorial classes for those junior form students who were weak in the main subjects
preparatory measures were attempted to tailor-make the school policies on catering for studentsrsquo learning diversities like joining the Learning Circle of Catering for Learning Diversities organized by EDB to keep interflow of ideas with other schools participating in the research on ldquoHong Kong In-service Teachersrsquo Self-efficacy and Readiness for Differentiated Instruction for
Diverse Learnersrsquo organized by the Faculty of Education of The Chinese University of Hong Kong to have a better understanding on the preparedness and readiness of our teachers at catering for learning diversities
taking the initiative within members of the Academic Standing Committee to prepare the school much better in catering for learning diversities like taking steps to further review the school policies and strategies on the issue to conduct a further study on studentsrsquo learning diversities and to coordinate the teaching strategies adopted by different subjects to cater for learning diversities
On broadening studentsrsquo learning horizons with cross-curricular learning the Language Across Curriculum project was implemented promoting cross-curricular learning with English as the teaching medium
a cross-panel Language Across Curriculum Coordinating Team was set up comprising of a Vice-principal four English teachers one Mathematics teachers and one Integrated Science teacher
with the advice and guidance of a hired consultant teachers of the LAC team had worked out and developed a total of 24 cross-curricular learning and teaching packages on English Mathematics and Integrated Science for the junior form students including worksheets on both language and content items as well as interactive activities and games to be used in lessons
these learning and teaching materials would be fully utilized in the new school year while they would also serve as examples for other EMI subjects to develop cross-curricular learning materials with English
the 24 LAC teaching and learning packages with interactive learning activities and graded exercises on English History and Geography were successfully put into practice in the junior form lessons
the annual Cross-curricular Learning Day activities were carried successfully on 21st February providing students with task-oriented learning opportunities to learn more effectively and creatively without subject boundaries like
lsquoThe Changing Face of Centralrsquo (S1) lsquoWhatrsquos on the Menursquo (S2) lsquoField Study in Kingrsquos Parkrsquo (S3) lsquoLearning Positive Traits from Famous Peoplersquo (S4) and lsquoWorking Realityrsquo (S5)
studentsrsquo language proficiency had been greatly enhanced as students had to accomplish tasks like writing and orally presenting reports in their Cross-curricular Learning Day activities
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014
- 16 -
initial steps to develop tailor-made curricula to promote cross-curricular learning were taken as subject panels especially those within the same key learning areas were encouraged to identify suitable cross-curricular topics
across subjects some teachers especially those within the same key learning areas were encouraged to include cross-curricular elements in their
collaborative teaching plans On enhancing studentsrsquo learning in classroom with cooperative learning many teachers had participated quite actively in many professional development activities concerning cooperative learning including
peer lesson observation experience sharing on the practice of the related teaching strategies
many teachers had included cooperative elements in their lessons like including cooperative learning elements in their collaborative teaching plans practicing cooperative learning more in junior form lessons
students were equipped with cooperative learning skills in junior forms Liberal Studies lessons with high demands of interactive learning and creativity were taken as the most appropriate platform for
students to start acquiring and practicing cooperative learning skills in junior forms cooperative learning was also quite frequently applied in S1-S3 classrooms especially by teachers of subjects like English History
Integrated Science and Geography
222 Reflection Studentsrsquo self-directed learning practices had developed quite satisfactorily in the past school year through the wide practice of
e-learning the making good use of the Student TV and the insistence on reading to learn but there is still plenty room for improvement Both teachers and students should have some better understanding of the real benefits and strategies of self-directed learning for
enhancing learning effectiveness There should be more professional development on self-directed learning for teachers including both the philosophies and teaching strategies Teachers should engage students meaningfully and effectively in their self-directed learning to compensate for the lack of sufficient time for students to learn just in the classroom Students on the other hand should still have to develop the habit of self-directed learning so that they could learn more widely and freely beyond the constraints of classroom learning
To develop e-learning for effective self-directed learning it is very necessary to have the sufficient provision of both the hardware and software For hardware more ipads should be provided for students for the convenience of their mobile learning and classroom sharing and plans should be taken to cover the whole school campus with WiFi access Both teachers and students should be encouraged to use the newly established E-Learning Centre for lessons or self-directed learning As for software teachers should be given more room and support to enable them to prepare more e-learning lessons and teaching packages as well as self-access learning materials or packages for studentsrsquo self-directed learning More suitable apps for educational and instructional purposes should have been purchased
The Student TV should still be much better developed as an effective platform for studentsrsquo self-directed learning To produce better programmes both in quantity and quality for self-directed learning more and more students should be trained and supported to become more active in producing and broadcasting self-direct learning programmes for students More broadcasting time should be given while it will be more useful if students could have more and easier accesses to programmes produced by the Student TV

To promote self-directed learning through reading a more enriched reading atmosphere in school should still be enhanced Students should be much encouraged to make good use of the prescribed reading lists for their self-directed academic pursuit by asking them to provide diffused information acquired from prescribed readings to accomplish their assignments or by giving them bonus term marks Persistent efforts in finding and subscribing suitable ibooks for students should still be attempted to facilitate studentsrsquo self-direct learning
The increasing needs in catering for studentsrsquo learning diversities require both the school and the teachers to take more appropriate actions teachers should further develop a better awareness of the importance of catering for learner differences as both effective and
indispensable in helping all students not just the low achievers they should be encouraged to participate actively in learning circles of teachers of the same or other schools to develop suitable and effective strategies to be applied in classrooms for the purpose
the school should take steps to look into the real situation of learning diversities of our students and to work out school-based policies and development programmes to equip the school and the teachers with the necessary knowledge and strategies to enhance studentsrsquo learning through catering for their learning diversities
both the teachers and school should also prepare themselves to provide help and support to those students with special education needs who have been growing in number in recent years
Based on the contemporary success in making use of cross-curricular learning to enhance studentsrsquo learning effectiveness some better measures could still be taken to enrich and improve the Cross Curricular Learning Day activities to refine the attempts at developing and implementing the Language Across Curriculum and to working out a practical school-based curriculum for cross-curricular learning the Cross-curricular Learning Day in providing students with task-oriented or theme-based leaning opportunities should also
integrate other ingredients to develop students as effective learners like learning outside the classroom and enhancing their skills in e-learning mobile learning as well as self-directed learning
cross-curricular learning through Language Across Curriculum should include not just English with History Geography Mathematics and Integrated Science but also with all other EMI academic subjects so that both the language and the academic subjects could reinforce one another in studentsrsquo learning and there should be better coordination to facilitate teachersrsquo cooperation and to incorporate well the LAC lessons into the teaching schedules of the subjects concerned
subject panels should be much encouraged and supported to review their curricula to identify suitable topics and themes for cross-curricular learning in order to work out the school-based tailor-made cross-curricular learning curricula
Cooperative learning should still be further enforced especially in junior forms in order to familiarize students in the earliest stage of the secondary school study with the unique learning skills and styles and teachers should still be much encouraged and facilitated to widely practice cooperative learning by providing them with the necessary materials needed for cooperative learning requiring them to work with each other in collaborative teaching to work out and implement the teaching plans with cooperative learning elements and asking them to start with the junior forms to try out the strategies for cooperative learning

23 Gifted Education Development
231 Achievements With sufficient preparatory work in the previous year this academic year saw the progressive development of gifted education in True Light Girls College With concerted efforts of the Committee members new initiatives were raised and relevant issues and concerns were explored On the administrative level The Gifted Education Committee was officially formed The committee set up gifted education policy and implemented certain projects in
the year Aiming to identify students gifted in different domains and provide suitable learning opportunities for them talent pools in S2 and S3 were
set up focusing on performance of eight domains namely Chinese English Mathematics Science Music Physical Education Art and Leadership In each domain of each form 16 students were selected as gifted by respective subject teachers or class teachers The talent pools were made accessible for all teachers so that all of them could identify gifted students in certain domains when necessary
Towards the end of the academic year talent pools were updated for the new academic year A system was developed for managing the ongoing pull-out programmes The system categorized the running programmes concerned
on subject-based criteria On students level In this year the nomination process of students to join off-site enrichment and extension programmes provided by Gifted Education
Section of EDB the Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education local tertiary institutions and universities was carried out smoothly A leadership training programme was successfully organized in August 2014 for potential student leaders All S4 students were assigned to join The Hong Kong Award for Young People (AYP) which is a scheme promoting all-round
development and exploring ones talent and potential One committee member teacher was assigned to each of the 4 classes to monitor students completion of the scheme
Two talks were held for students throughout the year One aimed at informing S4 students of the rationale and implementation of AYP Another one is for S2 and S3 students introducing the rationale of talent pool and how students should go all out to develop their talents
On teachers level Teachers were invited to contribute to the development of talent pool During the process they were introduced the definition of
giftedness and some selective criteria of gifted students
On parents level Mr Patrick Lam Associate Director of the Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education was invited to be the guest speaker of a seminar for
parents on Parents Day in February The talk introduced the ideas of giftedness and it received positive responses from the parents

232 Reflection
The goals set were achieved well in the previous academic year It is deemed that improvements on certain areas of the Committee could be made for future development of gifted education in breadth and depth All members of the group should have a basic and unanimous understanding as to how gifted education is defined and how its
development is implemented on the school level It is time for all members to receive further training provided by the Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education Core members of the group should receive more advanced training especially on the administrative level More meetings and informal exchanges should take place for achieving such an aim
With the development of the talent pool it should be introduced to all teaching staff thoroughly so that they are more aware of its existence and use
AYP is to be implemented in both S4 and S5 Last year the completion rate of the scheme was not satisfactory as teachers in charge found it difficult to monitor students progress frequently and regularly Next year AYP ambassadors will be assigned in all S4 and S5 classes It is hoped that they can facilitate the monitoring work as well as the promotional work of relevant activities
Gifted education in classroom is one of the concerns of the Committee A staff development programme regarding high-order thinking skills is to be held in next year helping teachers familiarize themselves with how such skills can be developed among students in classroom
24 Career Education Enrichment

study and career can be seen in S6 studentsrsquo Student Learning Profile and the OEA
242 Reflection The school has been promoting career education to the stakeholders at school Even though there were difficulties in the implementation phase it was a good start Some teachers may not fully understand the importance of career education to all students More professional development on career
guidance should be provided to teachers so that they will be better equipped for providing more comprehensive support to the students More CRE activities were organized but the teachers could better help the students to consolidate their learning and relate their
experiences to career planning so as to arouse studentsrsquo awareness to the importance of career planning For the Career Education Curriculum it would be introduced in S3 in 2014-2015 Students could have an earlier awareness which can
help them make a more informed choice for their study and career

Our students have been with pride and perseverance putting the call of the School Mission into their daily learning as they always tend to lsquothink
independentlyrsquo and lsquolearn proactivelyrsquo in their academic pursuit Taking such approaches in learning both in and outside the classroom students find that they could make the most out of their various learning experiences as they striving for the best academic performance
Through their daily learning in classroom students did not just acquire knowledge subject-wise while developing their various generic skills they
could also learn to treasure important universal values when they came across the core elements in value education including moral civic and environmental education which had been immerged with the different subjects they studied These invaluable learning experiences could help students establish correct and positive attitudes towards life which is very useful for them to live and enrich their everyday life and to foster their whole person development
Students became very effective learners in and outside the classroom with the help of information technology When in classrooms students
were highly engaged in each lesson with teachers making the frequent use of various information technology devices like the computing system the electronic whiteboard the Simultaneous Response System and the overhead projector as well as different audio-visual aids to enrich their learning experiences Students could also make use of various e-learning provisions in school to conduct their own self-directed learning outside the classroom In recent years students could study with the e-learning packages uploaded to the eClass platform by their subject teachers and conduct their private study with the help of the computer in the Computer Room Since last Easter students could also use ipads for their self-directed study in the newly-established E-Learning Centre
Junior form studentsrsquo learning in classrooms was also much facilitated with some new ingredients inserted in their lessons For instance students
in S1 and S2 could learn with ipads in English lessons to accomplish their learning tasks and to share promptly and effectively their learning outcomes with classmates Junior form students attending Liberal Studies Integrated Science and Computer Literacy periods would also often find themselves learning lively and actively through ipads
Furthermore junior form students had also come across with a new learning experience in their Language across Curriculum lessons with
subjects like English Mathematics History Geography and Integrated Science Learning with the tailor-made cross-curricular materials which include innovative worksheets as well as interactive games and activities students found it marvelous as their study of the English language and the subject content of Mathematics Science and Humanities could reinforce each other
Drama education was introduced as a new element in the English learning of junior form students with the hope that this integration of the
lsquodramarsquo elements in the English periods would make the lessons more impressive and appealing to students while students could learn in a more creative and interactive way the listening writing reading and speaking skills in the learning of the language
Junior form students had also got used to making use of cooperative learning in class to help maximize their learning effectiveness and outcomes
especially in lessons of English Liberal Studies History and Geography For senior form students there was still a strong tendency for them to take less than three elective subjects in their NSS study In this school year
after their application for dropping elective subjects had been approved after the last Final Examination there are now 58 students in S5 and 92 students in S6 studying less than three elective subjects Meanwhile there are already 11 students in S4 studying only two elective subjects many were S4 repeaters who could only take two elective subjects for their study Moreover there are only 7 students (out of 37) still studied M1 in S6 while a total of 18 (out of 36) had withdrawn their study of M2
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014
- 22 -
With the growing dropping rate of M1 and M2 in S5 and S6 there would only be a class of students admitted to S4 this year given the opportunity to study the Mathematics extensions but this study would only take place after they have been promoted to S5 In the meantime those S6 and S5 students who had withdrawn their study of an elective subject had still to attend supplementary Chinese and English lessons two periods for each language per cycle in the first term or the second term respectively For other spare periods these students had to conduct their self-directed learning in the school library while class and subject teachers were well aware of giving them more and better support through guidance or providing them with more supplementary work or exercises Those students who had withdrawn from studying the Mathematics extension parts had to attend supplementary Mathematics (Core) lessons to concentrate on improving their performance in the subject
Senior form students could also have other learning experiences within their normal lessons like Religious Education lessons for Moral amp Civic
Education PE lessons for Physical Development Career Education lessons in S4 for Career-Related Experiences as well as Aesthetic Development lessons For Career Education though it was not included as normal lessons in S5 and S6 it had still been implemented for the students as immersed programmes conducted in class teachersrsquo periods or assembly time for S5 and S6
Besides learning through the formal curriculum in classrooms students also learned without boundaries outside the classroom They took part
actively in the Cross-curricular Learning Day learning across subject boundaries in the form of thematic study like lsquoThe Changing Face of Centralrsquo (S1) lsquoWhatrsquos on the Menursquo (S2) lsquoField Study in Kingrsquos Parkrsquo (S3) lsquoLearning Positive Traits from Famous Peoplersquo (S4) and lsquoWorking Realityrsquo (S5) Moreover students enjoyed something like a knowledge carnival in the re-organized Inter-House General Quiz when both the House teams and the House members as audience were asked of questions from all the subjects they studied
Students also learned in a lively and creative way and gained significantly when they participated in some exchange or interflow activities or
attended the various enrichment or enhancement courses organized by the school or when they acquired other learning experiences outside the classroom
Students were given the opportunities to learn in other schools when they joined in some student interflow schemes like the Local Student
Exchange Scheme co-organized with Hong Kong True Light Middle School on April 1-3 2014 as well as with Queen Elizabeth School on April 9-10 2014 Students had also twice the time to have interflows with students from Guangzhou True Light Middle School on November 6-7 2013 and April 30 2014 Students who had become buddies of the student visitors from other schools could have especially gone through some brand new and unforgettable learning experiences
The Capacity Enhancement Grant (CEG) and the Diversity Learning (DLG) were well made use of to provide students with extra support to
further enrich their knowledge to enhance better their learning capacity and develop deeper their interests and skills Through CEG there were Enrichment Courses for S1-S3 Gifted Students in Mathematics an Interactive Drama Performance Course for S2 students Drama Courses to enhance S4 and S5 students in their English Learning Chinese Debating Courses for S2 to S4 students Physics Courses on lsquoArchitecture amp Mechanicsrsquo and lsquoElectromagnetismrsquo biotechnology experiments for Biology students in senior forms a Beginner Digital Photography Course and Student TV Training Course Through DLG there included a Learning English through Debating Extension Course a Learning English through Social Issues and Pop Culture Extension Course workshops on Chinese writing and composition Biology courses on lsquoForensic Sciencersquo and lsquoBiotechnology Experimentsrsquo and Mathematics and Liberal Studies enhancement courses for NSS students
Studentsrsquo knowledge horizons were also broadened when they participated in a variety of extra-curricular or co-curricular activities like visits
field trips and study tours abroad like to Singapore in January 2014 on Environmental Historical Cultural and English studies to mainland China (Beijing) for Cultural Studies and to Taiwan on Music Interfow Different subject panels had also worked through their respective academic societies to provide various innovative life-wide learning activities to arouse studentsrsquo interests and to enhance their ability in learning the disciplines Talks of academics or scholars had also been organized to help arouse studentsrsquo social consciousness and academic concerns

32 Teaching Strategies Our teachers had been incessantly acquiring and attempting to put into practice different kinds of teaching strategies to cater for the various
learning needs of our students in order to help them achieve the best learning outcomes Teachers always took up the role of facilitators in classrooms focusing at constructing an interactive classroom in order to arouse studentsrsquo learning motivation and help encourage their proactive learning Students were provided with various stimuli to help their learning like providing them with different scenarios to inspire them to explore every possible method to solve problems asking them graded and high order thinking questions to enhance their creativity and critical thinking skills and giving them carefully designed differentiated and challenging tasks to enrich their useful and meaningful learning opportunities in classrooms Teachers also provided timely and constructive feedbacks and compliments to students as recognition and reinforcement of their learning outcomes
Teachers also tended to have frequent applications of various information technology techniques and devices like the computing systems
visualizers ipads as well as the electronic whiteboards with the simultaneous response system to help reinforce their teaching strategies in creating a more interactive and effective learning environment to make learning and teaching more effective Teachers had been looking into the possibility of making a wider use of e-learning strategies like providing students with e-learning packages and resources through the eClass platform introducing e-textbooks to students and subscribing for them i-books for self-directed learning The first task had been taken for a few years while the other two tasks were still put under study
To improve the teaching strategies on catering for learning diversities our school had joined with other schools in the Learning Circle of Catering
for Learning Diversities organized by EDB to keep an interflow of related ideas and strategies with other schools The school had also participated in the research on ldquoHong Kong In-service Teachersrsquo Self-efficacy and Readiness for Differentiated Instruction for Diverse Learnersrsquo organized by the Faculty of Education of The Chinese University of Hong Kong in order to have a better understanding on the preparedness and readiness of our teachers at catering for learning diversities
Our teachers had also engaged themselves in an active sharing of teaching strategies as they contributed proactively their articles to the
publication of a Collection of Teaching Recollections of Teachers of True Light Girlsrsquo College called lsquoTrue Light Sharingrsquo in the last school year As seen from the four sections in the book teachers of different subjects shared with their colleagues and teachers of other schools their teaching plans lesson tips glowing new ideas in teaching as well as some teaching reflections
Teachers had been actively making use of the Collaborative Teaching Scheme and the Common Free Periods to work together and to learn from
each other for the purpose of refining and further developing their teaching strategies Through the Collaborative Teaching Scheme teachers teaching the same subjects or within the same KLA worked in teams each consisting of two or three teachers to work out and implement together some teaching plans with peer lesson observation and evaluation Specific attention was paid to develop teaching strategies for cross-curricular and cooperative learning while the scheming of student-oriented lessons to enhance active student involvement and learning autonomy was also emphasized with concerns for provoking high-order thinking and catering for learning diversities Common free periods were arranged when setting the timetables for teachers of English Chinese Mathematics and NSS Liberal Studies at each level to enhance their professional teaching collaboration in their lesson preparation and implementation Other subject teachers had mostly taken their own initiative to arrange for themselves the same practice for their professional sharing and development
To further enhance the effectiveness of our teaching strategies in order to bring about satisfactory learning outcomes of students it is still
necessary for our teachers to acquire improve and implement the teaching strategies concerning catering for learning diversities of high achievers low achievers as well as students with special education needs Steps have also to be taken to tailor-make the curriculum of different subjects for meaningful cross-curricular learning Cooperative learning should still be widely practiced not just in junior forms and for only some subjects More importantly teachers should acquire more knowledge and skills in fostering studentsrsquo self-directed learning which includes the use of teaching strategies to facilitate the e-learning and mobile learning of students

33 Assessment Studentsrsquo academic performance and learning outcomes had been continuously assessed by different modes of homework assignments quizzes
term tests and examinations Assessment for learning was greatly emphasized when giving students homework assignments to help consolidate their subject knowledge and
what they had learned in classroom Assignments which included various kinds like workbooks worksheets essay writing surveys projects case studies reports book reviews and newspaper cuttings etc were duly designed with diversified tasks and questions of varied difficulties Improvement could still be made in designing assignments to cater better for studentsrsquo diversified learning needs to adopt wider modes of assessment like self peer and parent assessments and to help students to conduct their self-directed study
To help students to put great emphasis on doing well their homework in order to consolidate their learning outcomes the Homework Submission
Scheme was adopted and implemented in these recent years to make students do and submit their homework assignments properly Together with the homework policies of different subject panels which often included mark deduction for late submission of assignments students had become more punctual and orderly in their homework submission To further encourage students to do well their homework assignments in order to achieve satisfactory learning outcomes the Most Outstanding Homework Performance Award Scheme was still carried out and a total of 44 and 52 students were awarded in the first term and the second term respectively
To have a better supervision from the school management and the subject panel heads on homework assignments to students including the
content and marking of the assignments the assignment inspection policy was carried out which required the subject panel heads to supervise the panel members over their making use of homework assignments in achieving their teaching objectives Panel heads could make use of the standard record forms of assignment inspection to see into the quality and the quantity of the assignments given by teachers and to evaluate the marking of the teachers and the ways they gave the comments and feedbacks The subject panel heads also had to submit their studentsrsquo assignments to the school management for the same kind of inspection
Besides assessment assignments studentsrsquo annual academic performance in school was formally assessed through tests and examinations
which made up the term marks and the examination marks of studentsrsquo annual scores respectively There were two examinations for each level of students every year For tests there were at least two assessments (testassignmentproject) for each subject within each term For junior forms there should be at least one test in the first term and preferably two tests in the second term while for senior forms the two assessments each term should be tests
The New Senior Secondary Curriculum provided teachers with great challenges in different aspects including assessment Teachers had been
especially careful to be accurate in using the standard referencing system to assess students on the levels they attained in different assessments and different subjects Two attempts were still made in the last school year to help teachers to conduct their level marking more confidently The first was to keep joining the HKDSE Mock Examination Papers Exchange Scheme organized by the Association of Principals of Secondary Schools of the Hong Kong Council of the Church of Christ in China Subject teachers who had joined the Scheme found it very helpful to conduct level marking by taking the marking criteria set by other schools as reference and examples The other attempt was to predict for students their levels of attainment in different subjects after the S6 Mid-year Examination and students were given their predicted grades on S6 Parentsrsquo Day as a way to help the students as well as their parents to prepare better for the Mock Examination and HKDSE The school joined for the second time the Pilot Study on Predicted Levels of 2014 Core Subjects (CEML) conducted by the Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority to study on the reliability of our prediction of
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014
- 25 -
studentsrsquo CEML subjects to evaluate teachersrsquo accuracy in level marking while reliable predicted grades will be useful for managing the expectation of students and their parents The School Report of the pilot study showed that there was a satisfactorily high correlation between the predicted grades awarded by our teachers to students and the actual level attained by students in 2014 HKDSE showing that teachers had a good understanding and knowledge on standard referencing and their level marking performance was very reliable
To match much better the level attainment system adopted by the New Senior Secondary Curriculum with the traditional marking system which
was revealed in studentsrsquo Academic Reports it was decided that the passing mark in senior form subjects would be changed from 50 to 40 of the total mark Such a change could also better reflect the possible level attainment obtained by students in HKDSE
Teachers were also very cautious in taking sophisticated procedures in conducting the School-based Assessment in the New Senior Secondary
Curriculum Students were assessed on the same tasks and with the same assessment criteria To achieve this students were given common SBA tasks across classes and the same standard of assessment The same criteria for awarding marks to all students were applied and in doing so consultation among teachers to align the marking criteria was often conducted and trial marking of samples of studentsrsquo work was constantly carried out Marks given were adjusted whenever necessary to ensure consistence of assessment standard Reference materials and archive materials were used to help standardizing marking Proper and sufficient guidance and supervision was provided to students to ensure the quality and authenticity of their work There was feedback and advice on improvement to students after the completion of marking to provide them with a fruitful learning experience

2 Achievements and Reflection on Major Areas of Concern 21 True Light Spirit Cultivation
211 Achievements
Our school has been putting prime emphases on providing quality education for our students which includes very significantly the nurturing of their whole person development through the cultivation in them the True Light spirit Through this lsquoTrue Light Spirit Cultivationrsquo our students will be internalized with the invaluable True Light Girlsrsquo Qualities which include perseverance fitness modesty sacrifice illumination dedication awareness and versatility to live up to the School Motto and to shine forth as the light of the world This lsquoTrue Light Spirit Cultivationrsquo which has been stated as the first major concern in our School Development Plan (2012-2017) matches well with our school vision which aims at bringing up our students who will lsquogrow in loversquo and lsquocontribute to societyrsquo in their all-round development In the second year of the implementation of the School Development Plan notable achievements had been accomplished in further enhancing the spirit of sisterhood upholding and sustaining the fine True Light legacies fostering the religious atmosphere in the school and enhancing studentsrsquo contribution to society in the aspect of lsquoTrue Light Spirit Cultivationrsquo
On further enhancing the spirit of sisterhood the sister class system as bonds amongst the sister classes had been much fortified
S1 Form Association Inauguration Ceremony held on 31 March 2014 provided the good opportunity to strengthen sisterhood of S1 and S4 sister classes as S1 students received great help and support from their elder school sisters in S4 in preparing for the various performances in the ceremony which included choir singing dancing English drama English and Putonghua choral verse speaking
sisterhood among the sister classes of S3 and S6 was much nurtured as S3 students showed their gratitude towards their elder school sisters in S6 by preparing for them hand-made souvenirs upon their graduation
S1 students were provided with care and guidance in school programmes from their senior school sisters S1 students were given help and support from their elder school sisters in S1 Orientation Days elder schoolmates in S3 or S4 served also as student mentors in the S1 Mentoring Programme to help their younger S1 school
sisters to adapt themselves smoothly to their new secondary school life new initiatives were taken to further nurture sisterhood
the newly participated EDB programme called ldquoPupil Ambassador Active Bright and Caringrsquo had been implemented in all levels which involved also cooperation among students of corresponding sister classes
the House System was refined to nurture sisterhood through the cultivation of the House spirit especially with the revived practice of letting each House to hold its own Annual General Meeting

fields to become mentors of their younger sister schoolmates studying at S6 at school offering them guidance and advice in their career planning and further studies
the alumnae who were well-established in the community with their achievements had been invited to share their experience and expertise with the students in talks or school assemblies
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014

On upholding and sustaining the fine True Light legacies students were acquainted with True Light legacies through learning more about the school history
the Religious Education curricula in S1 S4 and S5 had been revised to include school history for students to learn more about the values and beliefs the school had been practicing
students in general could learn more about the True Light legacies by visiting the School Chapel cum School History Archive which displays rich relics and information of the history of our own school True Light Girlsrsquo College and by visiting also the True Light History Gallery with exhibits showing the history of our Alma Mater as well as the constant interflow and cooperation of True Light schools in Guangzhou and Hong Kong while the School Chapel cum School History Archive was taken as the most suitable venue for students in S1 to have school history lessons and for S4 students to conduct their self-directed study on school history
students of S1 S4 and S5 were guided in Religious Education lessons to study the Chinese version of the book ldquoA Light in the
Land of Sinimrdquo (《光在華夏》) written by the school founder Harriet Noyes to know more about the original True Light beliefs and
spirit and to write reflections as assignments through the TLGC 40th Anniversary publication called ldquoEncountering True Lightrdquo (《遇見真光》) which the S6 students received as the
school souvenirs for their graduation the impact of True Light legacies on many True Light people who had shared their testimonies of their True Light experiences in the book was felt more impressively by the graduates who would be more convicted in living up with the True Light spirits even after leaving school
students were facilitated to live up to the ideal True Light values which were reinforced through the moral and civic education they received in and outside the classroom subjects like Chinese Life Education and Religious Education lessons carried some immersed teaching of moral and civic
education which reflected also the True Light values there were even greater opportunities for students to learn more about core and universal values on hearing guest speakers share
their ideas in school assemblies by participating actively in OLE programmes to widen their horizons and by joining educational trips to learn more widely from people of different places in the world
True Light traditions were reinforced with various school practices and programmes as students were familiarized with the traditional True Light songs and hymns they learnt in Music lessons the school followed the True Light tradition to hold for the first time the S6 Form Association Night on 27 June 2014 evening as a rite
of passage for the graduates to share their school memories and to strengthen their bonds with the school and with each other the Lantern Passing Ceremony was held within the S6 Form Association Night as a True Light traditional ritual for members of the
True Light family to witness how the graduates had grown up with the blessings and education of True Light traditions and how these traditions would then be carried on by their school sisters in school as shown by the passing of the True Light Torch from S6 graduates to S5 students in the ceremony
it has been the tradition of our own school for our S6 graduates to have their Farewell Assembly and it was held on S6 last school day 28 February 2014 with the help of the Religious Education Committee
On fostering the religious atmosphere in the school religious elements were integrated in routine and daily school activities
as morning prayers had been said at around 59 times in the last school year usually on Days 3 4 and 6 by Christian teachers and students
there were prayers Bible sharing and hymn singing led by Christian teachers and Student Fellowship members in school assemblies Education Sunday school ceremonies as well as Christmas and Easter Services
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014

the Student Fellowship played its key role in fostering the religious atmosphere the Junior Fellowship and the Senior Fellowship met regularly for religious activities and sharing the student official members of the two Fellowships had their frequent religious sharing meetings a Gospel Day was organized before the Christmas holidays for students and teachers the LIGHT Summer Camp (4-672014) and a Training Day Camp (2982014) were held to help students reflect on relationships
with God and with each other while teams relationships and problem solving skills were also nurtured the Religious Education and Music curricula were reviewed and modified as
thematic studies like those on lsquoloversquo and lsquomeanings of lifersquo were included in the Religious Education curriculum for different levels of students to learn about religion in a lively and collective way
hymns with their rich religious meanings were taught and sung in Music lessons Collaboration with preachers from churches in organizing religious activities and leadership training
A network with HKCCC Hop Yat Church (Kowloon Church) Mongkok Church and Mandarin Church which was helpful and supportive to the holding of religious activities in our school
preachers from various neighbouring churches had helped in many of our religious studies like Teacher Retreat Education Sunday Bible sharing and giving religious services
On enhancing studentsrsquo contribution to society community or voluntary service training programmes were designed and implemented to equip S4 students and student leaders with the
necessary skills and techniques and to engage them in providing the services the Service Learning Programme was introduced to S4 students as a part of their school learning and all S4 students had to
participate in the programme so as to broaden their horizons and arouse their awareness of the needs in the society a Leadership Training Programme was arranged for all student organizers to help them design and organize the service
programmes Students of different levels were facilitated to take part in community service programmes to serve the needy
voluntary services for the elderly and flags selling activities had been organized by the Students Social Service Corps the Oxfam Club had organized charity programmes like Charity Cafeacute and Hunger Banquet the Community Youth Club Zonta Z Club Red Cross Youth Unit Girl Guides Junior Police Call Road Safety Patrol had organized

212 Reflection
The traditional and invaluable spirit of sisterhood had been well nurtured and more established in the past school year with some further strengthening of the sister-forms system the continuing growth of mutual care and cooperation between sister-forms and the strengthening of bonds between students and the alumnae
Based on our existing persisting effort in nurturing sisterhood among students and even between our students and alumnae more and different attempts should still have to make to foster sisterhood among students of the same class the same form the same House within the whole school and even with the other True Light Schools in Hong Kong and Guangzhou Such endeavours could be made through the established mechanisms like the class associations the form associations the four Houses and the Student Union within our school while new initiatives should be sought for strengthening sisterhood among the True Light Schools
Sisterhood within our own school could still be further enhanced with various kinds of games activities and competitions organized at inter-class inter-form and inter-House levels including those very popular established practices like the Interclass Rope Skipping Competition the Interclass Tug-of-war Competition the Athletic Meet and the Swimming Gala It could be very useful and meaningful if more different kinds of inter-class inter-form or inter-House activities would be held like choral speaking debates ball games quizzes and drama festival It was good to have the revived attempts like re-organizing the Inter-House General Quiz and for each House to re-hold its own House Annual General Meeting to raise sisterhood in the House levels There are still more things the Houses could do like re-holding Orientation Gathering for S1 House members to foster sisterhood through the enhancement of the House spirit The Student Union may attempt to organize certain events like the Student Festival to enhance the school spirit of all students
Sisterhood could still be much enhanced through the sister-forms system especially for the sister classes of S2 and S5 More opportunities like sharing games competitions etc should still have to be created for students of the sister classes to have much closer encounters communication and cooperation
There had been certain attempts which could help nurturing sisterhood among the True Light Schools like holding student interflows co-organizing overseas study tours and drama workshops attending each otherrsquos school anniversary thanksgiving services and visiting our Alma Mater in Guangzhou Based on these good practices more attempts in the studentsrsquo level could still be tried out like re-holding the Joint True Light Schools Athletic Meet and organizing joint activities or competitions like debates quizzes and even a drama fest Such sisterhood within the True Light schools could facilitate our working together with greater collective efforts to reinforce the True Light legacies and to demonstrate them to the community
Satisfactory work had been done to facilitate students to learn more about the True Light history values and traditions in order to uphold and sustain the True Light legacies in students More creative and meaningful ways could still be attempted to motivate students to have genuine interests to know more about everything concerning True Light Taking True Light history spirit culture traditions and legacies as the main theme students could be asked to do researches or projects on the issue while even different kinds of competitions games days or carnivals could be held for the purpose
The religious atmosphere in the school had been greatly fostered all through the year with morning prayers religious practices in assemblies Student Fellowship activities and most importantly studentsrsquo religious education in classrooms It could still be further enhanced if students would be led to live with religious beliefs and values in their daily life encountering issues of personal and current affairs with the religious faith and perspectives
Students had been much facilitated to serve the society with training programmes to equip them with the necessary skills and knowledge with voluntary work for them to serve the needed and with commendation on their accomplishments in performing voluntary and community services It is our present practice to have different student bodies in school to organize voluntary services as a part of the annual programmes to provide students with the opportunities to serve the community It would be even more constructive if a Social Service Society could be newly formed to act as an individual student body focusing purely on doing different kinds of social and voluntary services It would be even more fruitful and helpful if students could take both a whole person development approach and a deep concern for our community when they contribute themselves in doing voluntary and community services Students should take their contribution to society as indispensable for their personal growth which should include not just doing community services but also their love care and concern for the development of the community

22 Learning Effectiveness Enhancement 221 Achievements
Major and further steps were taken earnestly by the school to carry on with the realization of the four foci emphasized in the 5-year School Development Plan (2012 ndash 2017) including well-developing studentsrsquo self-direct learning practices well-catering for studentsrsquo learning diversities broadening studentsrsquo learning horizons with cross-curricular learning and enhancing studentsrsquo learning in classroom with cooperative learning The following accomplishments were made with the strenuous and persistent collaborative effort contributed by the whole teaching staff
On developing well studentsrsquo self-direct learning practices students were helped in acquiring and developing self-direct learning skills and habits with the implementation of the e-Learning Pilot
Scheme and the making use of the eClass platform students in S1 and S2 were provided with plenty opportunities in the English lessons to familiarize themselves with the use of ipads
to help develop well their self-direct learning abilities and they found their learning of the English language had become doubly effective as the use of ipads could help them achieve their learning tasks and share their learning outcomes promptly and effectively
students were trained in their junior form study to well equip themselves in the use of ipads for self-direct learning as they were taught and drilled in their S1 to S3 Computer Literacy lessons on the basic use of ipads and process apps in order to cultivate their skills habits and confidence in making use of ipads for their self-direct learning
many Liberal Studies Geography and Science teachers had also made a very wide use of ipads in and outside the classrooms to enhance further studentsrsquo capabilities in using ipads for school learning as well as self-direct learning
studentsrsquo use of ipads in school had been much enhanced by the e-Learning Pilot Scheme which helped provide the WiFi network while the school showed its strong support through providing the additional ipads and process apps
students had also made good use of the eClass platform for their self-direct learning as they did their private study with the many self-direct learning packages prepared and uploaded by teachers of different subjects
students could conduct their self-explorative learning more effectively and conveniently in the newly established E-Learning Centre plans and steps to convert the MMLC into a self-access E-Learning Centre were taken since the start of the last academic year with
the major conversion works taken and completed during the Easter Holiday with school funding the newly established E-Learning Centre was installed with a full coverage of high speed WiFi access a
suitable number of 42 ipads and related furniture the E-Learning Centre started to open to students for their self-direct learning with the use of ipads after the Easter Holiday
students took the multi-functional Student TV as a self-direct learning platform and engaged themselves in it as effective learners by either producing or viewing the Student TV programme the True Light Student TV studio was established with a well-trained production team of students responsible for running different
channels under the supervision of a Supervisory Committee of teacher advisors programmes were produced and broadcast according to schedules for students for school news information and knowledge
building and the viewers mostly found the programmes satisfactory for their self-direct learning reading to learn was persistently promoted to facilitate studentsrsquo self-direct learning
prescribed reading booklists for students were duly prepared by different subject panels for each level and uploaded to either the subject web pages or the school library website and students generally found the prescribed reading could facilitate their self-direct learning
suitable i-books had been sought throughout the year and their subscription could only be made when there would be satisfactory i-books with reasonable costs offered in the market

On catering well for studentsrsquo learning diversities teachers had kept on adopting suitable teaching strategies to make classroom learning effective for students of different learning
abilities like arousing studentsrsquo learning motivation strengthening studentsrsquo language abilities providing students with various kinds of
exposure and it was a common practice for teachers to make use of graded questions and differentiated tasks to better match studentsrsquo abilities
preparing the high achievers for higher achievement by giving them more challenging tasks and learning activities during the lessons to provoke their high-order thinking setting bonus questions or worksheets and designing for them more demanding homework assignments
different learning programmes were provided for high achievers and weaker students like offering off-site courses in Chinese English Mathematics Liberal Studies Physics and Biology for NSS high-achieving students to
further enhance their learning abilities in these subjects arranging after-school tutorial classes for those junior form students who were weak in the main subjects
preparatory measures were attempted to tailor-make the school policies on catering for studentsrsquo learning diversities like joining the Learning Circle of Catering for Learning Diversities organized by EDB to keep interflow of ideas with other schools participating in the research on ldquoHong Kong In-service Teachersrsquo Self-efficacy and Readiness for Differentiated Instruction for
Diverse Learnersrsquo organized by the Faculty of Education of The Chinese University of Hong Kong to have a better understanding on the preparedness and readiness of our teachers at catering for learning diversities
taking the initiative within members of the Academic Standing Committee to prepare the school much better in catering for learning diversities like taking steps to further review the school policies and strategies on the issue to conduct a further study on studentsrsquo learning diversities and to coordinate the teaching strategies adopted by different subjects to cater for learning diversities
On broadening studentsrsquo learning horizons with cross-curricular learning the Language Across Curriculum project was implemented promoting cross-curricular learning with English as the teaching medium
a cross-panel Language Across Curriculum Coordinating Team was set up comprising of a Vice-principal four English teachers one Mathematics teachers and one Integrated Science teacher
with the advice and guidance of a hired consultant teachers of the LAC team had worked out and developed a total of 24 cross-curricular learning and teaching packages on English Mathematics and Integrated Science for the junior form students including worksheets on both language and content items as well as interactive activities and games to be used in lessons
these learning and teaching materials would be fully utilized in the new school year while they would also serve as examples for other EMI subjects to develop cross-curricular learning materials with English
the 24 LAC teaching and learning packages with interactive learning activities and graded exercises on English History and Geography were successfully put into practice in the junior form lessons
the annual Cross-curricular Learning Day activities were carried successfully on 21st February providing students with task-oriented learning opportunities to learn more effectively and creatively without subject boundaries like
lsquoThe Changing Face of Centralrsquo (S1) lsquoWhatrsquos on the Menursquo (S2) lsquoField Study in Kingrsquos Parkrsquo (S3) lsquoLearning Positive Traits from Famous Peoplersquo (S4) and lsquoWorking Realityrsquo (S5)
studentsrsquo language proficiency had been greatly enhanced as students had to accomplish tasks like writing and orally presenting reports in their Cross-curricular Learning Day activities
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014
- 16 -
initial steps to develop tailor-made curricula to promote cross-curricular learning were taken as subject panels especially those within the same key learning areas were encouraged to identify suitable cross-curricular topics
across subjects some teachers especially those within the same key learning areas were encouraged to include cross-curricular elements in their
collaborative teaching plans On enhancing studentsrsquo learning in classroom with cooperative learning many teachers had participated quite actively in many professional development activities concerning cooperative learning including
peer lesson observation experience sharing on the practice of the related teaching strategies
many teachers had included cooperative elements in their lessons like including cooperative learning elements in their collaborative teaching plans practicing cooperative learning more in junior form lessons
students were equipped with cooperative learning skills in junior forms Liberal Studies lessons with high demands of interactive learning and creativity were taken as the most appropriate platform for
students to start acquiring and practicing cooperative learning skills in junior forms cooperative learning was also quite frequently applied in S1-S3 classrooms especially by teachers of subjects like English History
Integrated Science and Geography
222 Reflection Studentsrsquo self-directed learning practices had developed quite satisfactorily in the past school year through the wide practice of
e-learning the making good use of the Student TV and the insistence on reading to learn but there is still plenty room for improvement Both teachers and students should have some better understanding of the real benefits and strategies of self-directed learning for
enhancing learning effectiveness There should be more professional development on self-directed learning for teachers including both the philosophies and teaching strategies Teachers should engage students meaningfully and effectively in their self-directed learning to compensate for the lack of sufficient time for students to learn just in the classroom Students on the other hand should still have to develop the habit of self-directed learning so that they could learn more widely and freely beyond the constraints of classroom learning
To develop e-learning for effective self-directed learning it is very necessary to have the sufficient provision of both the hardware and software For hardware more ipads should be provided for students for the convenience of their mobile learning and classroom sharing and plans should be taken to cover the whole school campus with WiFi access Both teachers and students should be encouraged to use the newly established E-Learning Centre for lessons or self-directed learning As for software teachers should be given more room and support to enable them to prepare more e-learning lessons and teaching packages as well as self-access learning materials or packages for studentsrsquo self-directed learning More suitable apps for educational and instructional purposes should have been purchased
The Student TV should still be much better developed as an effective platform for studentsrsquo self-directed learning To produce better programmes both in quantity and quality for self-directed learning more and more students should be trained and supported to become more active in producing and broadcasting self-direct learning programmes for students More broadcasting time should be given while it will be more useful if students could have more and easier accesses to programmes produced by the Student TV
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014

To promote self-directed learning through reading a more enriched reading atmosphere in school should still be enhanced Students should be much encouraged to make good use of the prescribed reading lists for their self-directed academic pursuit by asking them to provide diffused information acquired from prescribed readings to accomplish their assignments or by giving them bonus term marks Persistent efforts in finding and subscribing suitable ibooks for students should still be attempted to facilitate studentsrsquo self-direct learning
The increasing needs in catering for studentsrsquo learning diversities require both the school and the teachers to take more appropriate actions teachers should further develop a better awareness of the importance of catering for learner differences as both effective and
indispensable in helping all students not just the low achievers they should be encouraged to participate actively in learning circles of teachers of the same or other schools to develop suitable and effective strategies to be applied in classrooms for the purpose
the school should take steps to look into the real situation of learning diversities of our students and to work out school-based policies and development programmes to equip the school and the teachers with the necessary knowledge and strategies to enhance studentsrsquo learning through catering for their learning diversities
both the teachers and school should also prepare themselves to provide help and support to those students with special education needs who have been growing in number in recent years
Based on the contemporary success in making use of cross-curricular learning to enhance studentsrsquo learning effectiveness some better measures could still be taken to enrich and improve the Cross Curricular Learning Day activities to refine the attempts at developing and implementing the Language Across Curriculum and to working out a practical school-based curriculum for cross-curricular learning the Cross-curricular Learning Day in providing students with task-oriented or theme-based leaning opportunities should also
integrate other ingredients to develop students as effective learners like learning outside the classroom and enhancing their skills in e-learning mobile learning as well as self-directed learning
cross-curricular learning through Language Across Curriculum should include not just English with History Geography Mathematics and Integrated Science but also with all other EMI academic subjects so that both the language and the academic subjects could reinforce one another in studentsrsquo learning and there should be better coordination to facilitate teachersrsquo cooperation and to incorporate well the LAC lessons into the teaching schedules of the subjects concerned
subject panels should be much encouraged and supported to review their curricula to identify suitable topics and themes for cross-curricular learning in order to work out the school-based tailor-made cross-curricular learning curricula
Cooperative learning should still be further enforced especially in junior forms in order to familiarize students in the earliest stage of the secondary school study with the unique learning skills and styles and teachers should still be much encouraged and facilitated to widely practice cooperative learning by providing them with the necessary materials needed for cooperative learning requiring them to work with each other in collaborative teaching to work out and implement the teaching plans with cooperative learning elements and asking them to start with the junior forms to try out the strategies for cooperative learning

231 Achievements With sufficient preparatory work in the previous year this academic year saw the progressive development of gifted education in True Light Girls College With concerted efforts of the Committee members new initiatives were raised and relevant issues and concerns were explored On the administrative level The Gifted Education Committee was officially formed The committee set up gifted education policy and implemented certain projects in
the year Aiming to identify students gifted in different domains and provide suitable learning opportunities for them talent pools in S2 and S3 were
set up focusing on performance of eight domains namely Chinese English Mathematics Science Music Physical Education Art and Leadership In each domain of each form 16 students were selected as gifted by respective subject teachers or class teachers The talent pools were made accessible for all teachers so that all of them could identify gifted students in certain domains when necessary
Towards the end of the academic year talent pools were updated for the new academic year A system was developed for managing the ongoing pull-out programmes The system categorized the running programmes concerned
on subject-based criteria On students level In this year the nomination process of students to join off-site enrichment and extension programmes provided by Gifted Education
Section of EDB the Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education local tertiary institutions and universities was carried out smoothly A leadership training programme was successfully organized in August 2014 for potential student leaders All S4 students were assigned to join The Hong Kong Award for Young People (AYP) which is a scheme promoting all-round
development and exploring ones talent and potential One committee member teacher was assigned to each of the 4 classes to monitor students completion of the scheme
Two talks were held for students throughout the year One aimed at informing S4 students of the rationale and implementation of AYP Another one is for S2 and S3 students introducing the rationale of talent pool and how students should go all out to develop their talents
On teachers level Teachers were invited to contribute to the development of talent pool During the process they were introduced the definition of
giftedness and some selective criteria of gifted students
On parents level Mr Patrick Lam Associate Director of the Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education was invited to be the guest speaker of a seminar for
parents on Parents Day in February The talk introduced the ideas of giftedness and it received positive responses from the parents

232 Reflection
The goals set were achieved well in the previous academic year It is deemed that improvements on certain areas of the Committee could be made for future development of gifted education in breadth and depth All members of the group should have a basic and unanimous understanding as to how gifted education is defined and how its
development is implemented on the school level It is time for all members to receive further training provided by the Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education Core members of the group should receive more advanced training especially on the administrative level More meetings and informal exchanges should take place for achieving such an aim
With the development of the talent pool it should be introduced to all teaching staff thoroughly so that they are more aware of its existence and use
AYP is to be implemented in both S4 and S5 Last year the completion rate of the scheme was not satisfactory as teachers in charge found it difficult to monitor students progress frequently and regularly Next year AYP ambassadors will be assigned in all S4 and S5 classes It is hoped that they can facilitate the monitoring work as well as the promotional work of relevant activities
Gifted education in classroom is one of the concerns of the Committee A staff development programme regarding high-order thinking skills is to be held in next year helping teachers familiarize themselves with how such skills can be developed among students in classroom
24 Career Education Enrichment
241 Achievements This is the second year of the 5-year School Development Plan 2012-2017 This is a good opportunity for students teachers and parents to understand the importance of career education for the student development through organizing and participating in different programmes This year a wide variety of programmes were organized for all stakeholders to be equipped in career education These should be helpful for students to pursue their own goals with the support from their parents and teachers On enhancing professional development of teachers on career education a staff development programme on Implementation of Career Education in Secondary School was organized for all teachers on 6
January 2014 We invited Dr Ho Yuk Fan the Vice Chairperson of The Hong Kong Association of Careers Masters and Guidance Masters to share the latest information in Career Guidance The teachers were very positive to the programme

career knowledge and experiences Subject panels provided a wide variety of activities to inspire students for the pursuit of their further study and career opportunities such
as visiting RTHK attending a CEO talk from KCS and a public lecture on ldquoExplore the World of Medicinerdquo Some students found the participation in the OLE activities inspired them in setting up their own goals Reflections on goal set up for
study and career can be seen in S6 studentsrsquo Student Learning Profile and the OEA
242 Reflection The school has been promoting career education to the stakeholders at school Even though there were difficulties in the implementation phase it was a good start Some teachers may not fully understand the importance of career education to all students More professional development on career
guidance should be provided to teachers so that they will be better equipped for providing more comprehensive support to the students More CRE activities were organized but the teachers could better help the students to consolidate their learning and relate their
experiences to career planning so as to arouse studentsrsquo awareness to the importance of career planning For the Career Education Curriculum it would be introduced in S3 in 2014-2015 Students could have an earlier awareness which can
help them make a more informed choice for their study and career

3 Learning and Teaching 31 Learning Experiences
Our students have been with pride and perseverance putting the call of the School Mission into their daily learning as they always tend to lsquothink
independentlyrsquo and lsquolearn proactivelyrsquo in their academic pursuit Taking such approaches in learning both in and outside the classroom students find that they could make the most out of their various learning experiences as they striving for the best academic performance
Through their daily learning in classroom students did not just acquire knowledge subject-wise while developing their various generic skills they
could also learn to treasure important universal values when they came across the core elements in value education including moral civic and environmental education which had been immerged with the different subjects they studied These invaluable learning experiences could help students establish correct and positive attitudes towards life which is very useful for them to live and enrich their everyday life and to foster their whole person development
Students became very effective learners in and outside the classroom with the help of information technology When in classrooms students
were highly engaged in each lesson with teachers making the frequent use of various information technology devices like the computing system the electronic whiteboard the Simultaneous Response System and the overhead projector as well as different audio-visual aids to enrich their learning experiences Students could also make use of various e-learning provisions in school to conduct their own self-directed learning outside the classroom In recent years students could study with the e-learning packages uploaded to the eClass platform by their subject teachers and conduct their private study with the help of the computer in the Computer Room Since last Easter students could also use ipads for their self-directed study in the newly-established E-Learning Centre
Junior form studentsrsquo learning in classrooms was also much facilitated with some new ingredients inserted in their lessons For instance students
in S1 and S2 could learn with ipads in English lessons to accomplish their learning tasks and to share promptly and effectively their learning outcomes with classmates Junior form students attending Liberal Studies Integrated Science and Computer Literacy periods would also often find themselves learning lively and actively through ipads
Furthermore junior form students had also come across with a new learning experience in their Language across Curriculum lessons with
subjects like English Mathematics History Geography and Integrated Science Learning with the tailor-made cross-curricular materials which include innovative worksheets as well as interactive games and activities students found it marvelous as their study of the English language and the subject content of Mathematics Science and Humanities could reinforce each other
Drama education was introduced as a new element in the English learning of junior form students with the hope that this integration of the
lsquodramarsquo elements in the English periods would make the lessons more impressive and appealing to students while students could learn in a more creative and interactive way the listening writing reading and speaking skills in the learning of the language
Junior form students had also got used to making use of cooperative learning in class to help maximize their learning effectiveness and outcomes
especially in lessons of English Liberal Studies History and Geography For senior form students there was still a strong tendency for them to take less than three elective subjects in their NSS study In this school year
after their application for dropping elective subjects had been approved after the last Final Examination there are now 58 students in S5 and 92 students in S6 studying less than three elective subjects Meanwhile there are already 11 students in S4 studying only two elective subjects many were S4 repeaters who could only take two elective subjects for their study Moreover there are only 7 students (out of 37) still studied M1 in S6 while a total of 18 (out of 36) had withdrawn their study of M2
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014
- 22 -
With the growing dropping rate of M1 and M2 in S5 and S6 there would only be a class of students admitted to S4 this year given the opportunity to study the Mathematics extensions but this study would only take place after they have been promoted to S5 In the meantime those S6 and S5 students who had withdrawn their study of an elective subject had still to attend supplementary Chinese and English lessons two periods for each language per cycle in the first term or the second term respectively For other spare periods these students had to conduct their self-directed learning in the school library while class and subject teachers were well aware of giving them more and better support through guidance or providing them with more supplementary work or exercises Those students who had withdrawn from studying the Mathematics extension parts had to attend supplementary Mathematics (Core) lessons to concentrate on improving their performance in the subject
Senior form students could also have other learning experiences within their normal lessons like Religious Education lessons for Moral amp Civic
Education PE lessons for Physical Development Career Education lessons in S4 for Career-Related Experiences as well as Aesthetic Development lessons For Career Education though it was not included as normal lessons in S5 and S6 it had still been implemented for the students as immersed programmes conducted in class teachersrsquo periods or assembly time for S5 and S6
Besides learning through the formal curriculum in classrooms students also learned without boundaries outside the classroom They took part
actively in the Cross-curricular Learning Day learning across subject boundaries in the form of thematic study like lsquoThe Changing Face of Centralrsquo (S1) lsquoWhatrsquos on the Menursquo (S2) lsquoField Study in Kingrsquos Parkrsquo (S3) lsquoLearning Positive Traits from Famous Peoplersquo (S4) and lsquoWorking Realityrsquo (S5) Moreover students enjoyed something like a knowledge carnival in the re-organized Inter-House General Quiz when both the House teams and the House members as audience were asked of questions from all the subjects they studied
Students also learned in a lively and creative way and gained significantly when they participated in some exchange or interflow activities or
attended the various enrichment or enhancement courses organized by the school or when they acquired other learning experiences outside the classroom
Students were given the opportunities to learn in other schools when they joined in some student interflow schemes like the Local Student
Exchange Scheme co-organized with Hong Kong True Light Middle School on April 1-3 2014 as well as with Queen Elizabeth School on April 9-10 2014 Students had also twice the time to have interflows with students from Guangzhou True Light Middle School on November 6-7 2013 and April 30 2014 Students who had become buddies of the student visitors from other schools could have especially gone through some brand new and unforgettable learning experiences
The Capacity Enhancement Grant (CEG) and the Diversity Learning (DLG) were well made use of to provide students with extra support to
further enrich their knowledge to enhance better their learning capacity and develop deeper their interests and skills Through CEG there were Enrichment Courses for S1-S3 Gifted Students in Mathematics an Interactive Drama Performance Course for S2 students Drama Courses to enhance S4 and S5 students in their English Learning Chinese Debating Courses for S2 to S4 students Physics Courses on lsquoArchitecture amp Mechanicsrsquo and lsquoElectromagnetismrsquo biotechnology experiments for Biology students in senior forms a Beginner Digital Photography Course and Student TV Training Course Through DLG there included a Learning English through Debating Extension Course a Learning English through Social Issues and Pop Culture Extension Course workshops on Chinese writing and composition Biology courses on lsquoForensic Sciencersquo and lsquoBiotechnology Experimentsrsquo and Mathematics and Liberal Studies enhancement courses for NSS students
Studentsrsquo knowledge horizons were also broadened when they participated in a variety of extra-curricular or co-curricular activities like visits
field trips and study tours abroad like to Singapore in January 2014 on Environmental Historical Cultural and English studies to mainland China (Beijing) for Cultural Studies and to Taiwan on Music Interfow Different subject panels had also worked through their respective academic societies to provide various innovative life-wide learning activities to arouse studentsrsquo interests and to enhance their ability in learning the disciplines Talks of academics or scholars had also been organized to help arouse studentsrsquo social consciousness and academic concerns

32 Teaching Strategies Our teachers had been incessantly acquiring and attempting to put into practice different kinds of teaching strategies to cater for the various
learning needs of our students in order to help them achieve the best learning outcomes Teachers always took up the role of facilitators in classrooms focusing at constructing an interactive classroom in order to arouse studentsrsquo learning motivation and help encourage their proactive learning Students were provided with various stimuli to help their learning like providing them with different scenarios to inspire them to explore every possible method to solve problems asking them graded and high order thinking questions to enhance their creativity and critical thinking skills and giving them carefully designed differentiated and challenging tasks to enrich their useful and meaningful learning opportunities in classrooms Teachers also provided timely and constructive feedbacks and compliments to students as recognition and reinforcement of their learning outcomes
Teachers also tended to have frequent applications of various information technology techniques and devices like the computing systems
visualizers ipads as well as the electronic whiteboards with the simultaneous response system to help reinforce their teaching strategies in creating a more interactive and effective learning environment to make learning and teaching more effective Teachers had been looking into the possibility of making a wider use of e-learning strategies like providing students with e-learning packages and resources through the eClass platform introducing e-textbooks to students and subscribing for them i-books for self-directed learning The first task had been taken for a few years while the other two tasks were still put under study
To improve the teaching strategies on catering for learning diversities our school had joined with other schools in the Learning Circle of Catering
for Learning Diversities organized by EDB to keep an interflow of related ideas and strategies with other schools The school had also participated in the research on ldquoHong Kong In-service Teachersrsquo Self-efficacy and Readiness for Differentiated Instruction for Diverse Learnersrsquo organized by the Faculty of Education of The Chinese University of Hong Kong in order to have a better understanding on the preparedness and readiness of our teachers at catering for learning diversities
Our teachers had also engaged themselves in an active sharing of teaching strategies as they contributed proactively their articles to the
publication of a Collection of Teaching Recollections of Teachers of True Light Girlsrsquo College called lsquoTrue Light Sharingrsquo in the last school year As seen from the four sections in the book teachers of different subjects shared with their colleagues and teachers of other schools their teaching plans lesson tips glowing new ideas in teaching as well as some teaching reflections
Teachers had been actively making use of the Collaborative Teaching Scheme and the Common Free Periods to work together and to learn from
each other for the purpose of refining and further developing their teaching strategies Through the Collaborative Teaching Scheme teachers teaching the same subjects or within the same KLA worked in teams each consisting of two or three teachers to work out and implement together some teaching plans with peer lesson observation and evaluation Specific attention was paid to develop teaching strategies for cross-curricular and cooperative learning while the scheming of student-oriented lessons to enhance active student involvement and learning autonomy was also emphasized with concerns for provoking high-order thinking and catering for learning diversities Common free periods were arranged when setting the timetables for teachers of English Chinese Mathematics and NSS Liberal Studies at each level to enhance their professional teaching collaboration in their lesson preparation and implementation Other subject teachers had mostly taken their own initiative to arrange for themselves the same practice for their professional sharing and development
To further enhance the effectiveness of our teaching strategies in order to bring about satisfactory learning outcomes of students it is still
necessary for our teachers to acquire improve and implement the teaching strategies concerning catering for learning diversities of high achievers low achievers as well as students with special education needs Steps have also to be taken to tailor-make the curriculum of different subjects for meaningful cross-curricular learning Cooperative learning should still be widely practiced not just in junior forms and for only some subjects More importantly teachers should acquire more knowledge and skills in fostering studentsrsquo self-directed learning which includes the use of teaching strategies to facilitate the e-learning and mobile learning of students
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014

33 Assessment Studentsrsquo academic performance and learning outcomes had been continuously assessed by different modes of homework assignments quizzes
term tests and examinations Assessment for learning was greatly emphasized when giving students homework assignments to help consolidate their subject knowledge and
what they had learned in classroom Assignments which included various kinds like workbooks worksheets essay writing surveys projects case studies reports book reviews and newspaper cuttings etc were duly designed with diversified tasks and questions of varied difficulties Improvement could still be made in designing assignments to cater better for studentsrsquo diversified learning needs to adopt wider modes of assessment like self peer and parent assessments and to help students to conduct their self-directed study
To help students to put great emphasis on doing well their homework in order to consolidate their learning outcomes the Homework Submission
Scheme was adopted and implemented in these recent years to make students do and submit their homework assignments properly Together with the homework policies of different subject panels which often included mark deduction for late submission of assignments students had become more punctual and orderly in their homework submission To further encourage students to do well their homework assignments in order to achieve satisfactory learning outcomes the Most Outstanding Homework Performance Award Scheme was still carried out and a total of 44 and 52 students were awarded in the first term and the second term respectively
To have a better supervision from the school management and the subject panel heads on homework assignments to students including the
content and marking of the assignments the assignment inspection policy was carried out which required the subject panel heads to supervise the panel members over their making use of homework assignments in achieving their teaching objectives Panel heads could make use of the standard record forms of assignment inspection to see into the quality and the quantity of the assignments given by teachers and to evaluate the marking of the teachers and the ways they gave the comments and feedbacks The subject panel heads also had to submit their studentsrsquo assignments to the school management for the same kind of inspection
Besides assessment assignments studentsrsquo annual academic performance in school was formally assessed through tests and examinations
which made up the term marks and the examination marks of studentsrsquo annual scores respectively There were two examinations for each level of students every year For tests there were at least two assessments (testassignmentproject) for each subject within each term For junior forms there should be at least one test in the first term and preferably two tests in the second term while for senior forms the two assessments each term should be tests
The New Senior Secondary Curriculum provided teachers with great challenges in different aspects including assessment Teachers had been
especially careful to be accurate in using the standard referencing system to assess students on the levels they attained in different assessments and different subjects Two attempts were still made in the last school year to help teachers to conduct their level marking more confidently The first was to keep joining the HKDSE Mock Examination Papers Exchange Scheme organized by the Association of Principals of Secondary Schools of the Hong Kong Council of the Church of Christ in China Subject teachers who had joined the Scheme found it very helpful to conduct level marking by taking the marking criteria set by other schools as reference and examples The other attempt was to predict for students their levels of attainment in different subjects after the S6 Mid-year Examination and students were given their predicted grades on S6 Parentsrsquo Day as a way to help the students as well as their parents to prepare better for the Mock Examination and HKDSE The school joined for the second time the Pilot Study on Predicted Levels of 2014 Core Subjects (CEML) conducted by the Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority to study on the reliability of our prediction of
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014
- 25 -
studentsrsquo CEML subjects to evaluate teachersrsquo accuracy in level marking while reliable predicted grades will be useful for managing the expectation of students and their parents The School Report of the pilot study showed that there was a satisfactorily high correlation between the predicted grades awarded by our teachers to students and the actual level attained by students in 2014 HKDSE showing that teachers had a good understanding and knowledge on standard referencing and their level marking performance was very reliable
To match much better the level attainment system adopted by the New Senior Secondary Curriculum with the traditional marking system which
was revealed in studentsrsquo Academic Reports it was decided that the passing mark in senior form subjects would be changed from 50 to 40 of the total mark Such a change could also better reflect the possible level attainment obtained by students in HKDSE
Teachers were also very cautious in taking sophisticated procedures in conducting the School-based Assessment in the New Senior Secondary
Curriculum Students were assessed on the same tasks and with the same assessment criteria To achieve this students were given common SBA tasks across classes and the same standard of assessment The same criteria for awarding marks to all students were applied and in doing so consultation among teachers to align the marking criteria was often conducted and trial marking of samples of studentsrsquo work was constantly carried out Marks given were adjusted whenever necessary to ensure consistence of assessment standard Reference materials and archive materials were used to help standardizing marking Proper and sufficient guidance and supervision was provided to students to ensure the quality and authenticity of their work There was feedback and advice on improvement to students after the completion of marking to provide them with a fruitful learning experience

2 Achievements and Reflection on Major Areas of Concern 21 True Light Spirit Cultivation
211 Achievements
Our school has been putting prime emphases on providing quality education for our students which includes very significantly the nurturing of their whole person development through the cultivation in them the True Light spirit Through this lsquoTrue Light Spirit Cultivationrsquo our students will be internalized with the invaluable True Light Girlsrsquo Qualities which include perseverance fitness modesty sacrifice illumination dedication awareness and versatility to live up to the School Motto and to shine forth as the light of the world This lsquoTrue Light Spirit Cultivationrsquo which has been stated as the first major concern in our School Development Plan (2012-2017) matches well with our school vision which aims at bringing up our students who will lsquogrow in loversquo and lsquocontribute to societyrsquo in their all-round development In the second year of the implementation of the School Development Plan notable achievements had been accomplished in further enhancing the spirit of sisterhood upholding and sustaining the fine True Light legacies fostering the religious atmosphere in the school and enhancing studentsrsquo contribution to society in the aspect of lsquoTrue Light Spirit Cultivationrsquo
On further enhancing the spirit of sisterhood the sister class system as bonds amongst the sister classes had been much fortified
S1 Form Association Inauguration Ceremony held on 31 March 2014 provided the good opportunity to strengthen sisterhood of S1 and S4 sister classes as S1 students received great help and support from their elder school sisters in S4 in preparing for the various performances in the ceremony which included choir singing dancing English drama English and Putonghua choral verse speaking
sisterhood among the sister classes of S3 and S6 was much nurtured as S3 students showed their gratitude towards their elder school sisters in S6 by preparing for them hand-made souvenirs upon their graduation
S1 students were provided with care and guidance in school programmes from their senior school sisters S1 students were given help and support from their elder school sisters in S1 Orientation Days elder schoolmates in S3 or S4 served also as student mentors in the S1 Mentoring Programme to help their younger S1 school
sisters to adapt themselves smoothly to their new secondary school life new initiatives were taken to further nurture sisterhood
the newly participated EDB programme called ldquoPupil Ambassador Active Bright and Caringrsquo had been implemented in all levels which involved also cooperation among students of corresponding sister classes
the House System was refined to nurture sisterhood through the cultivation of the House spirit especially with the revived practice of letting each House to hold its own Annual General Meeting

fields to become mentors of their younger sister schoolmates studying at S6 at school offering them guidance and advice in their career planning and further studies
the alumnae who were well-established in the community with their achievements had been invited to share their experience and expertise with the students in talks or school assemblies

On upholding and sustaining the fine True Light legacies students were acquainted with True Light legacies through learning more about the school history
the Religious Education curricula in S1 S4 and S5 had been revised to include school history for students to learn more about the values and beliefs the school had been practicing
students in general could learn more about the True Light legacies by visiting the School Chapel cum School History Archive which displays rich relics and information of the history of our own school True Light Girlsrsquo College and by visiting also the True Light History Gallery with exhibits showing the history of our Alma Mater as well as the constant interflow and cooperation of True Light schools in Guangzhou and Hong Kong while the School Chapel cum School History Archive was taken as the most suitable venue for students in S1 to have school history lessons and for S4 students to conduct their self-directed study on school history
students of S1 S4 and S5 were guided in Religious Education lessons to study the Chinese version of the book ldquoA Light in the
Land of Sinimrdquo (《光在華夏》) written by the school founder Harriet Noyes to know more about the original True Light beliefs and
spirit and to write reflections as assignments through the TLGC 40th Anniversary publication called ldquoEncountering True Lightrdquo (《遇見真光》) which the S6 students received as the
school souvenirs for their graduation the impact of True Light legacies on many True Light people who had shared their testimonies of their True Light experiences in the book was felt more impressively by the graduates who would be more convicted in living up with the True Light spirits even after leaving school
students were facilitated to live up to the ideal True Light values which were reinforced through the moral and civic education they received in and outside the classroom subjects like Chinese Life Education and Religious Education lessons carried some immersed teaching of moral and civic
education which reflected also the True Light values there were even greater opportunities for students to learn more about core and universal values on hearing guest speakers share
their ideas in school assemblies by participating actively in OLE programmes to widen their horizons and by joining educational trips to learn more widely from people of different places in the world
True Light traditions were reinforced with various school practices and programmes as students were familiarized with the traditional True Light songs and hymns they learnt in Music lessons the school followed the True Light tradition to hold for the first time the S6 Form Association Night on 27 June 2014 evening as a rite
of passage for the graduates to share their school memories and to strengthen their bonds with the school and with each other the Lantern Passing Ceremony was held within the S6 Form Association Night as a True Light traditional ritual for members of the
True Light family to witness how the graduates had grown up with the blessings and education of True Light traditions and how these traditions would then be carried on by their school sisters in school as shown by the passing of the True Light Torch from S6 graduates to S5 students in the ceremony
it has been the tradition of our own school for our S6 graduates to have their Farewell Assembly and it was held on S6 last school day 28 February 2014 with the help of the Religious Education Committee
On fostering the religious atmosphere in the school religious elements were integrated in routine and daily school activities
as morning prayers had been said at around 59 times in the last school year usually on Days 3 4 and 6 by Christian teachers and students
there were prayers Bible sharing and hymn singing led by Christian teachers and Student Fellowship members in school assemblies Education Sunday school ceremonies as well as Christmas and Easter Services

with God and with each other while teams relationships and problem solving skills were also nurtured the Religious Education and Music curricula were reviewed and modified as
thematic studies like those on lsquoloversquo and lsquomeanings of lifersquo were included in the Religious Education curriculum for different levels of students to learn about religion in a lively and collective way
hymns with their rich religious meanings were taught and sung in Music lessons Collaboration with preachers from churches in organizing religious activities and leadership training
A network with HKCCC Hop Yat Church (Kowloon Church) Mongkok Church and Mandarin Church which was helpful and supportive to the holding of religious activities in our school
preachers from various neighbouring churches had helped in many of our religious studies like Teacher Retreat Education Sunday Bible sharing and giving religious services
On enhancing studentsrsquo contribution to society community or voluntary service training programmes were designed and implemented to equip S4 students and student leaders with the
necessary skills and techniques and to engage them in providing the services the Service Learning Programme was introduced to S4 students as a part of their school learning and all S4 students had to
participate in the programme so as to broaden their horizons and arouse their awareness of the needs in the society a Leadership Training Programme was arranged for all student organizers to help them design and organize the service
programmes Students of different levels were facilitated to take part in community service programmes to serve the needy

212 Reflection
The traditional and invaluable spirit of sisterhood had been well nurtured and more established in the past school year with some further strengthening of the sister-forms system the continuing growth of mutual care and cooperation between sister-forms and the strengthening of bonds between students and the alumnae
Based on our existing persisting effort in nurturing sisterhood among students and even between our students and alumnae more and different attempts should still have to make to foster sisterhood among students of the same class the same form the same House within the whole school and even with the other True Light Schools in Hong Kong and Guangzhou Such endeavours could be made through the established mechanisms like the class associations the form associations the four Houses and the Student Union within our school while new initiatives should be sought for strengthening sisterhood among the True Light Schools
Sisterhood within our own school could still be further enhanced with various kinds of games activities and competitions organized at inter-class inter-form and inter-House levels including those very popular established practices like the Interclass Rope Skipping Competition the Interclass Tug-of-war Competition the Athletic Meet and the Swimming Gala It could be very useful and meaningful if more different kinds of inter-class inter-form or inter-House activities would be held like choral speaking debates ball games quizzes and drama festival It was good to have the revived attempts like re-organizing the Inter-House General Quiz and for each House to re-hold its own House Annual General Meeting to raise sisterhood in the House levels There are still more things the Houses could do like re-holding Orientation Gathering for S1 House members to foster sisterhood through the enhancement of the House spirit The Student Union may attempt to organize certain events like the Student Festival to enhance the school spirit of all students
Sisterhood could still be much enhanced through the sister-forms system especially for the sister classes of S2 and S5 More opportunities like sharing games competitions etc should still have to be created for students of the sister classes to have much closer encounters communication and cooperation
There had been certain attempts which could help nurturing sisterhood among the True Light Schools like holding student interflows co-organizing overseas study tours and drama workshops attending each otherrsquos school anniversary thanksgiving services and visiting our Alma Mater in Guangzhou Based on these good practices more attempts in the studentsrsquo level could still be tried out like re-holding the Joint True Light Schools Athletic Meet and organizing joint activities or competitions like debates quizzes and even a drama fest Such sisterhood within the True Light schools could facilitate our working together with greater collective efforts to reinforce the True Light legacies and to demonstrate them to the community
Satisfactory work had been done to facilitate students to learn more about the True Light history values and traditions in order to uphold and sustain the True Light legacies in students More creative and meaningful ways could still be attempted to motivate students to have genuine interests to know more about everything concerning True Light Taking True Light history spirit culture traditions and legacies as the main theme students could be asked to do researches or projects on the issue while even different kinds of competitions games days or carnivals could be held for the purpose
The religious atmosphere in the school had been greatly fostered all through the year with morning prayers religious practices in assemblies Student Fellowship activities and most importantly studentsrsquo religious education in classrooms It could still be further enhanced if students would be led to live with religious beliefs and values in their daily life encountering issues of personal and current affairs with the religious faith and perspectives
Students had been much facilitated to serve the society with training programmes to equip them with the necessary skills and knowledge with voluntary work for them to serve the needed and with commendation on their accomplishments in performing voluntary and community services It is our present practice to have different student bodies in school to organize voluntary services as a part of the annual programmes to provide students with the opportunities to serve the community It would be even more constructive if a Social Service Society could be newly formed to act as an individual student body focusing purely on doing different kinds of social and voluntary services It would be even more fruitful and helpful if students could take both a whole person development approach and a deep concern for our community when they contribute themselves in doing voluntary and community services Students should take their contribution to society as indispensable for their personal growth which should include not just doing community services but also their love care and concern for the development of the community

On developing well studentsrsquo self-direct learning practices students were helped in acquiring and developing self-direct learning skills and habits with the implementation of the e-Learning Pilot
Scheme and the making use of the eClass platform students in S1 and S2 were provided with plenty opportunities in the English lessons to familiarize themselves with the use of ipads
to help develop well their self-direct learning abilities and they found their learning of the English language had become doubly effective as the use of ipads could help them achieve their learning tasks and share their learning outcomes promptly and effectively
students were trained in their junior form study to well equip themselves in the use of ipads for self-direct learning as they were taught and drilled in their S1 to S3 Computer Literacy lessons on the basic use of ipads and process apps in order to cultivate their skills habits and confidence in making use of ipads for their self-direct learning
many Liberal Studies Geography and Science teachers had also made a very wide use of ipads in and outside the classrooms to enhance further studentsrsquo capabilities in using ipads for school learning as well as self-direct learning
studentsrsquo use of ipads in school had been much enhanced by the e-Learning Pilot Scheme which helped provide the WiFi network while the school showed its strong support through providing the additional ipads and process apps
students had also made good use of the eClass platform for their self-direct learning as they did their private study with the many self-direct learning packages prepared and uploaded by teachers of different subjects
students could conduct their self-explorative learning more effectively and conveniently in the newly established E-Learning Centre plans and steps to convert the MMLC into a self-access E-Learning Centre were taken since the start of the last academic year with
the major conversion works taken and completed during the Easter Holiday with school funding the newly established E-Learning Centre was installed with a full coverage of high speed WiFi access a
suitable number of 42 ipads and related furniture the E-Learning Centre started to open to students for their self-direct learning with the use of ipads after the Easter Holiday
students took the multi-functional Student TV as a self-direct learning platform and engaged themselves in it as effective learners by either producing or viewing the Student TV programme the True Light Student TV studio was established with a well-trained production team of students responsible for running different
channels under the supervision of a Supervisory Committee of teacher advisors programmes were produced and broadcast according to schedules for students for school news information and knowledge
building and the viewers mostly found the programmes satisfactory for their self-direct learning reading to learn was persistently promoted to facilitate studentsrsquo self-direct learning
prescribed reading booklists for students were duly prepared by different subject panels for each level and uploaded to either the subject web pages or the school library website and students generally found the prescribed reading could facilitate their self-direct learning
suitable i-books had been sought throughout the year and their subscription could only be made when there would be satisfactory i-books with reasonable costs offered in the market

On catering well for studentsrsquo learning diversities teachers had kept on adopting suitable teaching strategies to make classroom learning effective for students of different learning
abilities like arousing studentsrsquo learning motivation strengthening studentsrsquo language abilities providing students with various kinds of
exposure and it was a common practice for teachers to make use of graded questions and differentiated tasks to better match studentsrsquo abilities
preparing the high achievers for higher achievement by giving them more challenging tasks and learning activities during the lessons to provoke their high-order thinking setting bonus questions or worksheets and designing for them more demanding homework assignments
different learning programmes were provided for high achievers and weaker students like offering off-site courses in Chinese English Mathematics Liberal Studies Physics and Biology for NSS high-achieving students to
further enhance their learning abilities in these subjects arranging after-school tutorial classes for those junior form students who were weak in the main subjects
preparatory measures were attempted to tailor-make the school policies on catering for studentsrsquo learning diversities like joining the Learning Circle of Catering for Learning Diversities organized by EDB to keep interflow of ideas with other schools participating in the research on ldquoHong Kong In-service Teachersrsquo Self-efficacy and Readiness for Differentiated Instruction for
Diverse Learnersrsquo organized by the Faculty of Education of The Chinese University of Hong Kong to have a better understanding on the preparedness and readiness of our teachers at catering for learning diversities
taking the initiative within members of the Academic Standing Committee to prepare the school much better in catering for learning diversities like taking steps to further review the school policies and strategies on the issue to conduct a further study on studentsrsquo learning diversities and to coordinate the teaching strategies adopted by different subjects to cater for learning diversities
On broadening studentsrsquo learning horizons with cross-curricular learning the Language Across Curriculum project was implemented promoting cross-curricular learning with English as the teaching medium
a cross-panel Language Across Curriculum Coordinating Team was set up comprising of a Vice-principal four English teachers one Mathematics teachers and one Integrated Science teacher
with the advice and guidance of a hired consultant teachers of the LAC team had worked out and developed a total of 24 cross-curricular learning and teaching packages on English Mathematics and Integrated Science for the junior form students including worksheets on both language and content items as well as interactive activities and games to be used in lessons
these learning and teaching materials would be fully utilized in the new school year while they would also serve as examples for other EMI subjects to develop cross-curricular learning materials with English
the 24 LAC teaching and learning packages with interactive learning activities and graded exercises on English History and Geography were successfully put into practice in the junior form lessons
the annual Cross-curricular Learning Day activities were carried successfully on 21st February providing students with task-oriented learning opportunities to learn more effectively and creatively without subject boundaries like
lsquoThe Changing Face of Centralrsquo (S1) lsquoWhatrsquos on the Menursquo (S2) lsquoField Study in Kingrsquos Parkrsquo (S3) lsquoLearning Positive Traits from Famous Peoplersquo (S4) and lsquoWorking Realityrsquo (S5)
studentsrsquo language proficiency had been greatly enhanced as students had to accomplish tasks like writing and orally presenting reports in their Cross-curricular Learning Day activities
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014

initial steps to develop tailor-made curricula to promote cross-curricular learning were taken as subject panels especially those within the same key learning areas were encouraged to identify suitable cross-curricular topics
across subjects some teachers especially those within the same key learning areas were encouraged to include cross-curricular elements in their
collaborative teaching plans On enhancing studentsrsquo learning in classroom with cooperative learning many teachers had participated quite actively in many professional development activities concerning cooperative learning including
peer lesson observation experience sharing on the practice of the related teaching strategies
many teachers had included cooperative elements in their lessons like including cooperative learning elements in their collaborative teaching plans practicing cooperative learning more in junior form lessons
students were equipped with cooperative learning skills in junior forms Liberal Studies lessons with high demands of interactive learning and creativity were taken as the most appropriate platform for
students to start acquiring and practicing cooperative learning skills in junior forms cooperative learning was also quite frequently applied in S1-S3 classrooms especially by teachers of subjects like English History
Integrated Science and Geography
222 Reflection Studentsrsquo self-directed learning practices had developed quite satisfactorily in the past school year through the wide practice of
e-learning the making good use of the Student TV and the insistence on reading to learn but there is still plenty room for improvement Both teachers and students should have some better understanding of the real benefits and strategies of self-directed learning for
enhancing learning effectiveness There should be more professional development on self-directed learning for teachers including both the philosophies and teaching strategies Teachers should engage students meaningfully and effectively in their self-directed learning to compensate for the lack of sufficient time for students to learn just in the classroom Students on the other hand should still have to develop the habit of self-directed learning so that they could learn more widely and freely beyond the constraints of classroom learning
To develop e-learning for effective self-directed learning it is very necessary to have the sufficient provision of both the hardware and software For hardware more ipads should be provided for students for the convenience of their mobile learning and classroom sharing and plans should be taken to cover the whole school campus with WiFi access Both teachers and students should be encouraged to use the newly established E-Learning Centre for lessons or self-directed learning As for software teachers should be given more room and support to enable them to prepare more e-learning lessons and teaching packages as well as self-access learning materials or packages for studentsrsquo self-directed learning More suitable apps for educational and instructional purposes should have been purchased
The Student TV should still be much better developed as an effective platform for studentsrsquo self-directed learning To produce better programmes both in quantity and quality for self-directed learning more and more students should be trained and supported to become more active in producing and broadcasting self-direct learning programmes for students More broadcasting time should be given while it will be more useful if students could have more and easier accesses to programmes produced by the Student TV

To promote self-directed learning through reading a more enriched reading atmosphere in school should still be enhanced Students should be much encouraged to make good use of the prescribed reading lists for their self-directed academic pursuit by asking them to provide diffused information acquired from prescribed readings to accomplish their assignments or by giving them bonus term marks Persistent efforts in finding and subscribing suitable ibooks for students should still be attempted to facilitate studentsrsquo self-direct learning
The increasing needs in catering for studentsrsquo learning diversities require both the school and the teachers to take more appropriate actions teachers should further develop a better awareness of the importance of catering for learner differences as both effective and
indispensable in helping all students not just the low achievers they should be encouraged to participate actively in learning circles of teachers of the same or other schools to develop suitable and effective strategies to be applied in classrooms for the purpose
the school should take steps to look into the real situation of learning diversities of our students and to work out school-based policies and development programmes to equip the school and the teachers with the necessary knowledge and strategies to enhance studentsrsquo learning through catering for their learning diversities
both the teachers and school should also prepare themselves to provide help and support to those students with special education needs who have been growing in number in recent years
Based on the contemporary success in making use of cross-curricular learning to enhance studentsrsquo learning effectiveness some better measures could still be taken to enrich and improve the Cross Curricular Learning Day activities to refine the attempts at developing and implementing the Language Across Curriculum and to working out a practical school-based curriculum for cross-curricular learning the Cross-curricular Learning Day in providing students with task-oriented or theme-based leaning opportunities should also
integrate other ingredients to develop students as effective learners like learning outside the classroom and enhancing their skills in e-learning mobile learning as well as self-directed learning
cross-curricular learning through Language Across Curriculum should include not just English with History Geography Mathematics and Integrated Science but also with all other EMI academic subjects so that both the language and the academic subjects could reinforce one another in studentsrsquo learning and there should be better coordination to facilitate teachersrsquo cooperation and to incorporate well the LAC lessons into the teaching schedules of the subjects concerned
subject panels should be much encouraged and supported to review their curricula to identify suitable topics and themes for cross-curricular learning in order to work out the school-based tailor-made cross-curricular learning curricula
Cooperative learning should still be further enforced especially in junior forms in order to familiarize students in the earliest stage of the secondary school study with the unique learning skills and styles and teachers should still be much encouraged and facilitated to widely practice cooperative learning by providing them with the necessary materials needed for cooperative learning requiring them to work with each other in collaborative teaching to work out and implement the teaching plans with cooperative learning elements and asking them to start with the junior forms to try out the strategies for cooperative learning

23 Gifted Education Development
231 Achievements With sufficient preparatory work in the previous year this academic year saw the progressive development of gifted education in True Light Girls College With concerted efforts of the Committee members new initiatives were raised and relevant issues and concerns were explored On the administrative level The Gifted Education Committee was officially formed The committee set up gifted education policy and implemented certain projects in
the year Aiming to identify students gifted in different domains and provide suitable learning opportunities for them talent pools in S2 and S3 were
set up focusing on performance of eight domains namely Chinese English Mathematics Science Music Physical Education Art and Leadership In each domain of each form 16 students were selected as gifted by respective subject teachers or class teachers The talent pools were made accessible for all teachers so that all of them could identify gifted students in certain domains when necessary
Towards the end of the academic year talent pools were updated for the new academic year A system was developed for managing the ongoing pull-out programmes The system categorized the running programmes concerned
on subject-based criteria On students level In this year the nomination process of students to join off-site enrichment and extension programmes provided by Gifted Education
Section of EDB the Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education local tertiary institutions and universities was carried out smoothly A leadership training programme was successfully organized in August 2014 for potential student leaders All S4 students were assigned to join The Hong Kong Award for Young People (AYP) which is a scheme promoting all-round
development and exploring ones talent and potential One committee member teacher was assigned to each of the 4 classes to monitor students completion of the scheme
Two talks were held for students throughout the year One aimed at informing S4 students of the rationale and implementation of AYP Another one is for S2 and S3 students introducing the rationale of talent pool and how students should go all out to develop their talents
On teachers level Teachers were invited to contribute to the development of talent pool During the process they were introduced the definition of
giftedness and some selective criteria of gifted students
On parents level Mr Patrick Lam Associate Director of the Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education was invited to be the guest speaker of a seminar for
parents on Parents Day in February The talk introduced the ideas of giftedness and it received positive responses from the parents

232 Reflection
The goals set were achieved well in the previous academic year It is deemed that improvements on certain areas of the Committee could be made for future development of gifted education in breadth and depth All members of the group should have a basic and unanimous understanding as to how gifted education is defined and how its
development is implemented on the school level It is time for all members to receive further training provided by the Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education Core members of the group should receive more advanced training especially on the administrative level More meetings and informal exchanges should take place for achieving such an aim
With the development of the talent pool it should be introduced to all teaching staff thoroughly so that they are more aware of its existence and use
AYP is to be implemented in both S4 and S5 Last year the completion rate of the scheme was not satisfactory as teachers in charge found it difficult to monitor students progress frequently and regularly Next year AYP ambassadors will be assigned in all S4 and S5 classes It is hoped that they can facilitate the monitoring work as well as the promotional work of relevant activities
Gifted education in classroom is one of the concerns of the Committee A staff development programme regarding high-order thinking skills is to be held in next year helping teachers familiarize themselves with how such skills can be developed among students in classroom
24 Career Education Enrichment
241 Achievements This is the second year of the 5-year School Development Plan 2012-2017 This is a good opportunity for students teachers and parents to understand the importance of career education for the student development through organizing and participating in different programmes This year a wide variety of programmes were organized for all stakeholders to be equipped in career education These should be helpful for students to pursue their own goals with the support from their parents and teachers On enhancing professional development of teachers on career education a staff development programme on Implementation of Career Education in Secondary School was organized for all teachers on 6
January 2014 We invited Dr Ho Yuk Fan the Vice Chairperson of The Hong Kong Association of Careers Masters and Guidance Masters to share the latest information in Career Guidance The teachers were very positive to the programme
A workshop was particularly designed for Career Guidance teachers to understand more about the use of the Career Interest Inventory on 14 March 2014
In addition a professional exchange between Methodist College and us was held on 10 April 2014 Ways for effective implementation of the career guidance programmes at school were shared
The Career Guidance Committee attended a talk on how to use the CLP Grant on 27 February 2014

On equipping senior form students for their planning of future career Based on the student evaluation collected last year the S4 curriculum was modified so that more group discussion was introduced
Students could be more involved in the lessons To supplement the formal lessons lots of activities were arranged for S4 students These included Goal Setting Workshop Simulation
Game 踏步大未來生涯規劃工作坊 Mr Work (Simulation) visits to Chow Tai Fook Immigration Service Institute of Training amp
Development Centaline K11-Art Mall and Mock Court Trial Over 10 programmes were offered to both S5 and S6 students For S6 students there were JUPAS Choice Workshop JUPAS sharing

Japanese and Korean Culture Workshops visits to RTHK and Chinese Cuisine Training Institute were arranged to widen studentsrsquo exposures
On helping students set clear goals on future study and career The QEF project was completed on 30 April 2014 Programmes were arranged for students teachers and parents to enrich their
career knowledge and experiences Subject panels provided a wide variety of activities to inspire students for the pursuit of their further study and career opportunities such
as visiting RTHK attending a CEO talk from KCS and a public lecture on ldquoExplore the World of Medicinerdquo Some students found the participation in the OLE activities inspired them in setting up their own goals Reflections on goal set up for
study and career can be seen in S6 studentsrsquo Student Learning Profile and the OEA
242 Reflection The school has been promoting career education to the stakeholders at school Even though there were difficulties in the implementation phase it was a good start Some teachers may not fully understand the importance of career education to all students More professional development on career
guidance should be provided to teachers so that they will be better equipped for providing more comprehensive support to the students More CRE activities were organized but the teachers could better help the students to consolidate their learning and relate their
experiences to career planning so as to arouse studentsrsquo awareness to the importance of career planning For the Career Education Curriculum it would be introduced in S3 in 2014-2015 Students could have an earlier awareness which can
help them make a more informed choice for their study and career

3 Learning and Teaching 31 Learning Experiences
Our students have been with pride and perseverance putting the call of the School Mission into their daily learning as they always tend to lsquothink
independentlyrsquo and lsquolearn proactivelyrsquo in their academic pursuit Taking such approaches in learning both in and outside the classroom students find that they could make the most out of their various learning experiences as they striving for the best academic performance
Through their daily learning in classroom students did not just acquire knowledge subject-wise while developing their various generic skills they
could also learn to treasure important universal values when they came across the core elements in value education including moral civic and environmental education which had been immerged with the different subjects they studied These invaluable learning experiences could help students establish correct and positive attitudes towards life which is very useful for them to live and enrich their everyday life and to foster their whole person development
Students became very effective learners in and outside the classroom with the help of information technology When in classrooms students
were highly engaged in each lesson with teachers making the frequent use of various information technology devices like the computing system the electronic whiteboard the Simultaneous Response System and the overhead projector as well as different audio-visual aids to enrich their learning experiences Students could also make use of various e-learning provisions in school to conduct their own self-directed learning outside the classroom In recent years students could study with the e-learning packages uploaded to the eClass platform by their subject teachers and conduct their private study with the help of the computer in the Computer Room Since last Easter students could also use ipads for their self-directed study in the newly-established E-Learning Centre
Junior form studentsrsquo learning in classrooms was also much facilitated with some new ingredients inserted in their lessons For instance students
in S1 and S2 could learn with ipads in English lessons to accomplish their learning tasks and to share promptly and effectively their learning outcomes with classmates Junior form students attending Liberal Studies Integrated Science and Computer Literacy periods would also often find themselves learning lively and actively through ipads
Furthermore junior form students had also come across with a new learning experience in their Language across Curriculum lessons with
subjects like English Mathematics History Geography and Integrated Science Learning with the tailor-made cross-curricular materials which include innovative worksheets as well as interactive games and activities students found it marvelous as their study of the English language and the subject content of Mathematics Science and Humanities could reinforce each other
Drama education was introduced as a new element in the English learning of junior form students with the hope that this integration of the
lsquodramarsquo elements in the English periods would make the lessons more impressive and appealing to students while students could learn in a more creative and interactive way the listening writing reading and speaking skills in the learning of the language
Junior form students had also got used to making use of cooperative learning in class to help maximize their learning effectiveness and outcomes
especially in lessons of English Liberal Studies History and Geography For senior form students there was still a strong tendency for them to take less than three elective subjects in their NSS study In this school year
after their application for dropping elective subjects had been approved after the last Final Examination there are now 58 students in S5 and 92 students in S6 studying less than three elective subjects Meanwhile there are already 11 students in S4 studying only two elective subjects many were S4 repeaters who could only take two elective subjects for their study Moreover there are only 7 students (out of 37) still studied M1 in S6 while a total of 18 (out of 36) had withdrawn their study of M2
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014
- 22 -
With the growing dropping rate of M1 and M2 in S5 and S6 there would only be a class of students admitted to S4 this year given the opportunity to study the Mathematics extensions but this study would only take place after they have been promoted to S5 In the meantime those S6 and S5 students who had withdrawn their study of an elective subject had still to attend supplementary Chinese and English lessons two periods for each language per cycle in the first term or the second term respectively For other spare periods these students had to conduct their self-directed learning in the school library while class and subject teachers were well aware of giving them more and better support through guidance or providing them with more supplementary work or exercises Those students who had withdrawn from studying the Mathematics extension parts had to attend supplementary Mathematics (Core) lessons to concentrate on improving their performance in the subject
Senior form students could also have other learning experiences within their normal lessons like Religious Education lessons for Moral amp Civic
Education PE lessons for Physical Development Career Education lessons in S4 for Career-Related Experiences as well as Aesthetic Development lessons For Career Education though it was not included as normal lessons in S5 and S6 it had still been implemented for the students as immersed programmes conducted in class teachersrsquo periods or assembly time for S5 and S6
Besides learning through the formal curriculum in classrooms students also learned without boundaries outside the classroom They took part
actively in the Cross-curricular Learning Day learning across subject boundaries in the form of thematic study like lsquoThe Changing Face of Centralrsquo (S1) lsquoWhatrsquos on the Menursquo (S2) lsquoField Study in Kingrsquos Parkrsquo (S3) lsquoLearning Positive Traits from Famous Peoplersquo (S4) and lsquoWorking Realityrsquo (S5) Moreover students enjoyed something like a knowledge carnival in the re-organized Inter-House General Quiz when both the House teams and the House members as audience were asked of questions from all the subjects they studied
Students also learned in a lively and creative way and gained significantly when they participated in some exchange or interflow activities or
attended the various enrichment or enhancement courses organized by the school or when they acquired other learning experiences outside the classroom
Students were given the opportunities to learn in other schools when they joined in some student interflow schemes like the Local Student
Exchange Scheme co-organized with Hong Kong True Light Middle School on April 1-3 2014 as well as with Queen Elizabeth School on April 9-10 2014 Students had also twice the time to have interflows with students from Guangzhou True Light Middle School on November 6-7 2013 and April 30 2014 Students who had become buddies of the student visitors from other schools could have especially gone through some brand new and unforgettable learning experiences
The Capacity Enhancement Grant (CEG) and the Diversity Learning (DLG) were well made use of to provide students with extra support to
further enrich their knowledge to enhance better their learning capacity and develop deeper their interests and skills Through CEG there were Enrichment Courses for S1-S3 Gifted Students in Mathematics an Interactive Drama Performance Course for S2 students Drama Courses to enhance S4 and S5 students in their English Learning Chinese Debating Courses for S2 to S4 students Physics Courses on lsquoArchitecture amp Mechanicsrsquo and lsquoElectromagnetismrsquo biotechnology experiments for Biology students in senior forms a Beginner Digital Photography Course and Student TV Training Course Through DLG there included a Learning English through Debating Extension Course a Learning English through Social Issues and Pop Culture Extension Course workshops on Chinese writing and composition Biology courses on lsquoForensic Sciencersquo and lsquoBiotechnology Experimentsrsquo and Mathematics and Liberal Studies enhancement courses for NSS students
Studentsrsquo knowledge horizons were also broadened when they participated in a variety of extra-curricular or co-curricular activities like visits
field trips and study tours abroad like to Singapore in January 2014 on Environmental Historical Cultural and English studies to mainland China (Beijing) for Cultural Studies and to Taiwan on Music Interfow Different subject panels had also worked through their respective academic societies to provide various innovative life-wide learning activities to arouse studentsrsquo interests and to enhance their ability in learning the disciplines Talks of academics or scholars had also been organized to help arouse studentsrsquo social consciousness and academic concerns

32 Teaching Strategies Our teachers had been incessantly acquiring and attempting to put into practice different kinds of teaching strategies to cater for the various
learning needs of our students in order to help them achieve the best learning outcomes Teachers always took up the role of facilitators in classrooms focusing at constructing an interactive classroom in order to arouse studentsrsquo learning motivation and help encourage their proactive learning Students were provided with various stimuli to help their learning like providing them with different scenarios to inspire them to explore every possible method to solve problems asking them graded and high order thinking questions to enhance their creativity and critical thinking skills and giving them carefully designed differentiated and challenging tasks to enrich their useful and meaningful learning opportunities in classrooms Teachers also provided timely and constructive feedbacks and compliments to students as recognition and reinforcement of their learning outcomes
Teachers also tended to have frequent applications of various information technology techniques and devices like the computing systems
visualizers ipads as well as the electronic whiteboards with the simultaneous response system to help reinforce their teaching strategies in creating a more interactive and effective learning environment to make learning and teaching more effective Teachers had been looking into the possibility of making a wider use of e-learning strategies like providing students with e-learning packages and resources through the eClass platform introducing e-textbooks to students and subscribing for them i-books for self-directed learning The first task had been taken for a few years while the other two tasks were still put under study
To improve the teaching strategies on catering for learning diversities our school had joined with other schools in the Learning Circle of Catering
for Learning Diversities organized by EDB to keep an interflow of related ideas and strategies with other schools The school had also participated in the research on ldquoHong Kong In-service Teachersrsquo Self-efficacy and Readiness for Differentiated Instruction for Diverse Learnersrsquo organized by the Faculty of Education of The Chinese University of Hong Kong in order to have a better understanding on the preparedness and readiness of our teachers at catering for learning diversities
Our teachers had also engaged themselves in an active sharing of teaching strategies as they contributed proactively their articles to the
publication of a Collection of Teaching Recollections of Teachers of True Light Girlsrsquo College called lsquoTrue Light Sharingrsquo in the last school year As seen from the four sections in the book teachers of different subjects shared with their colleagues and teachers of other schools their teaching plans lesson tips glowing new ideas in teaching as well as some teaching reflections
Teachers had been actively making use of the Collaborative Teaching Scheme and the Common Free Periods to work together and to learn from
each other for the purpose of refining and further developing their teaching strategies Through the Collaborative Teaching Scheme teachers teaching the same subjects or within the same KLA worked in teams each consisting of two or three teachers to work out and implement together some teaching plans with peer lesson observation and evaluation Specific attention was paid to develop teaching strategies for cross-curricular and cooperative learning while the scheming of student-oriented lessons to enhance active student involvement and learning autonomy was also emphasized with concerns for provoking high-order thinking and catering for learning diversities Common free periods were arranged when setting the timetables for teachers of English Chinese Mathematics and NSS Liberal Studies at each level to enhance their professional teaching collaboration in their lesson preparation and implementation Other subject teachers had mostly taken their own initiative to arrange for themselves the same practice for their professional sharing and development
To further enhance the effectiveness of our teaching strategies in order to bring about satisfactory learning outcomes of students it is still
necessary for our teachers to acquire improve and implement the teaching strategies concerning catering for learning diversities of high achievers low achievers as well as students with special education needs Steps have also to be taken to tailor-make the curriculum of different subjects for meaningful cross-curricular learning Cooperative learning should still be widely practiced not just in junior forms and for only some subjects More importantly teachers should acquire more knowledge and skills in fostering studentsrsquo self-directed learning which includes the use of teaching strategies to facilitate the e-learning and mobile learning of students
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014

33 Assessment Studentsrsquo academic performance and learning outcomes had been continuously assessed by different modes of homework assignments quizzes
term tests and examinations Assessment for learning was greatly emphasized when giving students homework assignments to help consolidate their subject knowledge and
what they had learned in classroom Assignments which included various kinds like workbooks worksheets essay writing surveys projects case studies reports book reviews and newspaper cuttings etc were duly designed with diversified tasks and questions of varied difficulties Improvement could still be made in designing assignments to cater better for studentsrsquo diversified learning needs to adopt wider modes of assessment like self peer and parent assessments and to help students to conduct their self-directed study
To help students to put great emphasis on doing well their homework in order to consolidate their learning outcomes the Homework Submission
Scheme was adopted and implemented in these recent years to make students do and submit their homework assignments properly Together with the homework policies of different subject panels which often included mark deduction for late submission of assignments students had become more punctual and orderly in their homework submission To further encourage students to do well their homework assignments in order to achieve satisfactory learning outcomes the Most Outstanding Homework Performance Award Scheme was still carried out and a total of 44 and 52 students were awarded in the first term and the second term respectively
To have a better supervision from the school management and the subject panel heads on homework assignments to students including the
content and marking of the assignments the assignment inspection policy was carried out which required the subject panel heads to supervise the panel members over their making use of homework assignments in achieving their teaching objectives Panel heads could make use of the standard record forms of assignment inspection to see into the quality and the quantity of the assignments given by teachers and to evaluate the marking of the teachers and the ways they gave the comments and feedbacks The subject panel heads also had to submit their studentsrsquo assignments to the school management for the same kind of inspection
Besides assessment assignments studentsrsquo annual academic performance in school was formally assessed through tests and examinations
which made up the term marks and the examination marks of studentsrsquo annual scores respectively There were two examinations for each level of students every year For tests there were at least two assessments (testassignmentproject) for each subject within each term For junior forms there should be at least one test in the first term and preferably two tests in the second term while for senior forms the two assessments each term should be tests
The New Senior Secondary Curriculum provided teachers with great challenges in different aspects including assessment Teachers had been
especially careful to be accurate in using the standard referencing system to assess students on the levels they attained in different assessments and different subjects Two attempts were still made in the last school year to help teachers to conduct their level marking more confidently The first was to keep joining the HKDSE Mock Examination Papers Exchange Scheme organized by the Association of Principals of Secondary Schools of the Hong Kong Council of the Church of Christ in China Subject teachers who had joined the Scheme found it very helpful to conduct level marking by taking the marking criteria set by other schools as reference and examples The other attempt was to predict for students their levels of attainment in different subjects after the S6 Mid-year Examination and students were given their predicted grades on S6 Parentsrsquo Day as a way to help the students as well as their parents to prepare better for the Mock Examination and HKDSE The school joined for the second time the Pilot Study on Predicted Levels of 2014 Core Subjects (CEML) conducted by the Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority to study on the reliability of our prediction of
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014
- 25 -
studentsrsquo CEML subjects to evaluate teachersrsquo accuracy in level marking while reliable predicted grades will be useful for managing the expectation of students and their parents The School Report of the pilot study showed that there was a satisfactorily high correlation between the predicted grades awarded by our teachers to students and the actual level attained by students in 2014 HKDSE showing that teachers had a good understanding and knowledge on standard referencing and their level marking performance was very reliable
To match much better the level attainment system adopted by the New Senior Secondary Curriculum with the traditional marking system which
was revealed in studentsrsquo Academic Reports it was decided that the passing mark in senior form subjects would be changed from 50 to 40 of the total mark Such a change could also better reflect the possible level attainment obtained by students in HKDSE
Teachers were also very cautious in taking sophisticated procedures in conducting the School-based Assessment in the New Senior Secondary
Curriculum Students were assessed on the same tasks and with the same assessment criteria To achieve this students were given common SBA tasks across classes and the same standard of assessment The same criteria for awarding marks to all students were applied and in doing so consultation among teachers to align the marking criteria was often conducted and trial marking of samples of studentsrsquo work was constantly carried out Marks given were adjusted whenever necessary to ensure consistence of assessment standard Reference materials and archive materials were used to help standardizing marking Proper and sufficient guidance and supervision was provided to students to ensure the quality and authenticity of their work There was feedback and advice on improvement to students after the completion of marking to provide them with a fruitful learning experience

On upholding and sustaining the fine True Light legacies students were acquainted with True Light legacies through learning more about the school history
the Religious Education curricula in S1 S4 and S5 had been revised to include school history for students to learn more about the values and beliefs the school had been practicing
students in general could learn more about the True Light legacies by visiting the School Chapel cum School History Archive which displays rich relics and information of the history of our own school True Light Girlsrsquo College and by visiting also the True Light History Gallery with exhibits showing the history of our Alma Mater as well as the constant interflow and cooperation of True Light schools in Guangzhou and Hong Kong while the School Chapel cum School History Archive was taken as the most suitable venue for students in S1 to have school history lessons and for S4 students to conduct their self-directed study on school history
students of S1 S4 and S5 were guided in Religious Education lessons to study the Chinese version of the book ldquoA Light in the
Land of Sinimrdquo (《光在華夏》) written by the school founder Harriet Noyes to know more about the original True Light beliefs and
spirit and to write reflections as assignments through the TLGC 40th Anniversary publication called ldquoEncountering True Lightrdquo (《遇見真光》) which the S6 students received as the
school souvenirs for their graduation the impact of True Light legacies on many True Light people who had shared their testimonies of their True Light experiences in the book was felt more impressively by the graduates who would be more convicted in living up with the True Light spirits even after leaving school
students were facilitated to live up to the ideal True Light values which were reinforced through the moral and civic education they received in and outside the classroom subjects like Chinese Life Education and Religious Education lessons carried some immersed teaching of moral and civic
education which reflected also the True Light values there were even greater opportunities for students to learn more about core and universal values on hearing guest speakers share
their ideas in school assemblies by participating actively in OLE programmes to widen their horizons and by joining educational trips to learn more widely from people of different places in the world
True Light traditions were reinforced with various school practices and programmes as students were familiarized with the traditional True Light songs and hymns they learnt in Music lessons the school followed the True Light tradition to hold for the first time the S6 Form Association Night on 27 June 2014 evening as a rite
of passage for the graduates to share their school memories and to strengthen their bonds with the school and with each other the Lantern Passing Ceremony was held within the S6 Form Association Night as a True Light traditional ritual for members of the
True Light family to witness how the graduates had grown up with the blessings and education of True Light traditions and how these traditions would then be carried on by their school sisters in school as shown by the passing of the True Light Torch from S6 graduates to S5 students in the ceremony
it has been the tradition of our own school for our S6 graduates to have their Farewell Assembly and it was held on S6 last school day 28 February 2014 with the help of the Religious Education Committee
On fostering the religious atmosphere in the school religious elements were integrated in routine and daily school activities
as morning prayers had been said at around 59 times in the last school year usually on Days 3 4 and 6 by Christian teachers and students
there were prayers Bible sharing and hymn singing led by Christian teachers and Student Fellowship members in school assemblies Education Sunday school ceremonies as well as Christmas and Easter Services

the Student Fellowship played its key role in fostering the religious atmosphere the Junior Fellowship and the Senior Fellowship met regularly for religious activities and sharing the student official members of the two Fellowships had their frequent religious sharing meetings a Gospel Day was organized before the Christmas holidays for students and teachers the LIGHT Summer Camp (4-672014) and a Training Day Camp (2982014) were held to help students reflect on relationships
with God and with each other while teams relationships and problem solving skills were also nurtured the Religious Education and Music curricula were reviewed and modified as
thematic studies like those on lsquoloversquo and lsquomeanings of lifersquo were included in the Religious Education curriculum for different levels of students to learn about religion in a lively and collective way
hymns with their rich religious meanings were taught and sung in Music lessons Collaboration with preachers from churches in organizing religious activities and leadership training
A network with HKCCC Hop Yat Church (Kowloon Church) Mongkok Church and Mandarin Church which was helpful and supportive to the holding of religious activities in our school
preachers from various neighbouring churches had helped in many of our religious studies like Teacher Retreat Education Sunday Bible sharing and giving religious services
On enhancing studentsrsquo contribution to society community or voluntary service training programmes were designed and implemented to equip S4 students and student leaders with the
necessary skills and techniques and to engage them in providing the services the Service Learning Programme was introduced to S4 students as a part of their school learning and all S4 students had to
participate in the programme so as to broaden their horizons and arouse their awareness of the needs in the society a Leadership Training Programme was arranged for all student organizers to help them design and organize the service
programmes Students of different levels were facilitated to take part in community service programmes to serve the needy
voluntary services for the elderly and flags selling activities had been organized by the Students Social Service Corps the Oxfam Club had organized charity programmes like Charity Cafeacute and Hunger Banquet the Community Youth Club Zonta Z Club Red Cross Youth Unit Girl Guides Junior Police Call Road Safety Patrol had organized
various programmes for students to serve the community through activities like blood donation flags selling charity sales and health projects for the elderly
A comprehensive recording and awarding system was implemented as recognition and commendation of studentsrsquo participation and accomplishments in performing community or voluntary services the school had joined the lsquoVolunteer Movementrsquo of the Steering Committee on Promotion of Volunteer Service of the Social Welfare
Department with the scheme of awarding certificates to our students according to their accumulated number of service hours our school was also one of the Heart-to-Heart Project Schools of the Hong Kong Federation of Youth Group and our students of
different levels had kept a very good record of service hours

212 Reflection
The traditional and invaluable spirit of sisterhood had been well nurtured and more established in the past school year with some further strengthening of the sister-forms system the continuing growth of mutual care and cooperation between sister-forms and the strengthening of bonds between students and the alumnae
Based on our existing persisting effort in nurturing sisterhood among students and even between our students and alumnae more and different attempts should still have to make to foster sisterhood among students of the same class the same form the same House within the whole school and even with the other True Light Schools in Hong Kong and Guangzhou Such endeavours could be made through the established mechanisms like the class associations the form associations the four Houses and the Student Union within our school while new initiatives should be sought for strengthening sisterhood among the True Light Schools
Sisterhood within our own school could still be further enhanced with various kinds of games activities and competitions organized at inter-class inter-form and inter-House levels including those very popular established practices like the Interclass Rope Skipping Competition the Interclass Tug-of-war Competition the Athletic Meet and the Swimming Gala It could be very useful and meaningful if more different kinds of inter-class inter-form or inter-House activities would be held like choral speaking debates ball games quizzes and drama festival It was good to have the revived attempts like re-organizing the Inter-House General Quiz and for each House to re-hold its own House Annual General Meeting to raise sisterhood in the House levels There are still more things the Houses could do like re-holding Orientation Gathering for S1 House members to foster sisterhood through the enhancement of the House spirit The Student Union may attempt to organize certain events like the Student Festival to enhance the school spirit of all students
Sisterhood could still be much enhanced through the sister-forms system especially for the sister classes of S2 and S5 More opportunities like sharing games competitions etc should still have to be created for students of the sister classes to have much closer encounters communication and cooperation
There had been certain attempts which could help nurturing sisterhood among the True Light Schools like holding student interflows co-organizing overseas study tours and drama workshops attending each otherrsquos school anniversary thanksgiving services and visiting our Alma Mater in Guangzhou Based on these good practices more attempts in the studentsrsquo level could still be tried out like re-holding the Joint True Light Schools Athletic Meet and organizing joint activities or competitions like debates quizzes and even a drama fest Such sisterhood within the True Light schools could facilitate our working together with greater collective efforts to reinforce the True Light legacies and to demonstrate them to the community
Satisfactory work had been done to facilitate students to learn more about the True Light history values and traditions in order to uphold and sustain the True Light legacies in students More creative and meaningful ways could still be attempted to motivate students to have genuine interests to know more about everything concerning True Light Taking True Light history spirit culture traditions and legacies as the main theme students could be asked to do researches or projects on the issue while even different kinds of competitions games days or carnivals could be held for the purpose
The religious atmosphere in the school had been greatly fostered all through the year with morning prayers religious practices in assemblies Student Fellowship activities and most importantly studentsrsquo religious education in classrooms It could still be further enhanced if students would be led to live with religious beliefs and values in their daily life encountering issues of personal and current affairs with the religious faith and perspectives
Students had been much facilitated to serve the society with training programmes to equip them with the necessary skills and knowledge with voluntary work for them to serve the needed and with commendation on their accomplishments in performing voluntary and community services It is our present practice to have different student bodies in school to organize voluntary services as a part of the annual programmes to provide students with the opportunities to serve the community It would be even more constructive if a Social Service Society could be newly formed to act as an individual student body focusing purely on doing different kinds of social and voluntary services It would be even more fruitful and helpful if students could take both a whole person development approach and a deep concern for our community when they contribute themselves in doing voluntary and community services Students should take their contribution to society as indispensable for their personal growth which should include not just doing community services but also their love care and concern for the development of the community

On developing well studentsrsquo self-direct learning practices students were helped in acquiring and developing self-direct learning skills and habits with the implementation of the e-Learning Pilot
Scheme and the making use of the eClass platform students in S1 and S2 were provided with plenty opportunities in the English lessons to familiarize themselves with the use of ipads
to help develop well their self-direct learning abilities and they found their learning of the English language had become doubly effective as the use of ipads could help them achieve their learning tasks and share their learning outcomes promptly and effectively
students were trained in their junior form study to well equip themselves in the use of ipads for self-direct learning as they were taught and drilled in their S1 to S3 Computer Literacy lessons on the basic use of ipads and process apps in order to cultivate their skills habits and confidence in making use of ipads for their self-direct learning
many Liberal Studies Geography and Science teachers had also made a very wide use of ipads in and outside the classrooms to enhance further studentsrsquo capabilities in using ipads for school learning as well as self-direct learning
studentsrsquo use of ipads in school had been much enhanced by the e-Learning Pilot Scheme which helped provide the WiFi network while the school showed its strong support through providing the additional ipads and process apps
students had also made good use of the eClass platform for their self-direct learning as they did their private study with the many self-direct learning packages prepared and uploaded by teachers of different subjects
students could conduct their self-explorative learning more effectively and conveniently in the newly established E-Learning Centre plans and steps to convert the MMLC into a self-access E-Learning Centre were taken since the start of the last academic year with
the major conversion works taken and completed during the Easter Holiday with school funding the newly established E-Learning Centre was installed with a full coverage of high speed WiFi access a
suitable number of 42 ipads and related furniture the E-Learning Centre started to open to students for their self-direct learning with the use of ipads after the Easter Holiday
students took the multi-functional Student TV as a self-direct learning platform and engaged themselves in it as effective learners by either producing or viewing the Student TV programme the True Light Student TV studio was established with a well-trained production team of students responsible for running different
channels under the supervision of a Supervisory Committee of teacher advisors programmes were produced and broadcast according to schedules for students for school news information and knowledge
building and the viewers mostly found the programmes satisfactory for their self-direct learning reading to learn was persistently promoted to facilitate studentsrsquo self-direct learning
prescribed reading booklists for students were duly prepared by different subject panels for each level and uploaded to either the subject web pages or the school library website and students generally found the prescribed reading could facilitate their self-direct learning
suitable i-books had been sought throughout the year and their subscription could only be made when there would be satisfactory i-books with reasonable costs offered in the market

On catering well for studentsrsquo learning diversities teachers had kept on adopting suitable teaching strategies to make classroom learning effective for students of different learning
abilities like arousing studentsrsquo learning motivation strengthening studentsrsquo language abilities providing students with various kinds of
exposure and it was a common practice for teachers to make use of graded questions and differentiated tasks to better match studentsrsquo abilities
preparing the high achievers for higher achievement by giving them more challenging tasks and learning activities during the lessons to provoke their high-order thinking setting bonus questions or worksheets and designing for them more demanding homework assignments
different learning programmes were provided for high achievers and weaker students like offering off-site courses in Chinese English Mathematics Liberal Studies Physics and Biology for NSS high-achieving students to
further enhance their learning abilities in these subjects arranging after-school tutorial classes for those junior form students who were weak in the main subjects
preparatory measures were attempted to tailor-make the school policies on catering for studentsrsquo learning diversities like joining the Learning Circle of Catering for Learning Diversities organized by EDB to keep interflow of ideas with other schools participating in the research on ldquoHong Kong In-service Teachersrsquo Self-efficacy and Readiness for Differentiated Instruction for
Diverse Learnersrsquo organized by the Faculty of Education of The Chinese University of Hong Kong to have a better understanding on the preparedness and readiness of our teachers at catering for learning diversities
taking the initiative within members of the Academic Standing Committee to prepare the school much better in catering for learning diversities like taking steps to further review the school policies and strategies on the issue to conduct a further study on studentsrsquo learning diversities and to coordinate the teaching strategies adopted by different subjects to cater for learning diversities
On broadening studentsrsquo learning horizons with cross-curricular learning the Language Across Curriculum project was implemented promoting cross-curricular learning with English as the teaching medium
a cross-panel Language Across Curriculum Coordinating Team was set up comprising of a Vice-principal four English teachers one Mathematics teachers and one Integrated Science teacher
with the advice and guidance of a hired consultant teachers of the LAC team had worked out and developed a total of 24 cross-curricular learning and teaching packages on English Mathematics and Integrated Science for the junior form students including worksheets on both language and content items as well as interactive activities and games to be used in lessons
these learning and teaching materials would be fully utilized in the new school year while they would also serve as examples for other EMI subjects to develop cross-curricular learning materials with English
the 24 LAC teaching and learning packages with interactive learning activities and graded exercises on English History and Geography were successfully put into practice in the junior form lessons
the annual Cross-curricular Learning Day activities were carried successfully on 21st February providing students with task-oriented learning opportunities to learn more effectively and creatively without subject boundaries like
lsquoThe Changing Face of Centralrsquo (S1) lsquoWhatrsquos on the Menursquo (S2) lsquoField Study in Kingrsquos Parkrsquo (S3) lsquoLearning Positive Traits from Famous Peoplersquo (S4) and lsquoWorking Realityrsquo (S5)
studentsrsquo language proficiency had been greatly enhanced as students had to accomplish tasks like writing and orally presenting reports in their Cross-curricular Learning Day activities
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014
- 16 -
initial steps to develop tailor-made curricula to promote cross-curricular learning were taken as subject panels especially those within the same key learning areas were encouraged to identify suitable cross-curricular topics
across subjects some teachers especially those within the same key learning areas were encouraged to include cross-curricular elements in their
collaborative teaching plans On enhancing studentsrsquo learning in classroom with cooperative learning many teachers had participated quite actively in many professional development activities concerning cooperative learning including
peer lesson observation experience sharing on the practice of the related teaching strategies
many teachers had included cooperative elements in their lessons like including cooperative learning elements in their collaborative teaching plans practicing cooperative learning more in junior form lessons
students were equipped with cooperative learning skills in junior forms Liberal Studies lessons with high demands of interactive learning and creativity were taken as the most appropriate platform for
students to start acquiring and practicing cooperative learning skills in junior forms cooperative learning was also quite frequently applied in S1-S3 classrooms especially by teachers of subjects like English History
Integrated Science and Geography
222 Reflection Studentsrsquo self-directed learning practices had developed quite satisfactorily in the past school year through the wide practice of
e-learning the making good use of the Student TV and the insistence on reading to learn but there is still plenty room for improvement Both teachers and students should have some better understanding of the real benefits and strategies of self-directed learning for
enhancing learning effectiveness There should be more professional development on self-directed learning for teachers including both the philosophies and teaching strategies Teachers should engage students meaningfully and effectively in their self-directed learning to compensate for the lack of sufficient time for students to learn just in the classroom Students on the other hand should still have to develop the habit of self-directed learning so that they could learn more widely and freely beyond the constraints of classroom learning
To develop e-learning for effective self-directed learning it is very necessary to have the sufficient provision of both the hardware and software For hardware more ipads should be provided for students for the convenience of their mobile learning and classroom sharing and plans should be taken to cover the whole school campus with WiFi access Both teachers and students should be encouraged to use the newly established E-Learning Centre for lessons or self-directed learning As for software teachers should be given more room and support to enable them to prepare more e-learning lessons and teaching packages as well as self-access learning materials or packages for studentsrsquo self-directed learning More suitable apps for educational and instructional purposes should have been purchased
The Student TV should still be much better developed as an effective platform for studentsrsquo self-directed learning To produce better programmes both in quantity and quality for self-directed learning more and more students should be trained and supported to become more active in producing and broadcasting self-direct learning programmes for students More broadcasting time should be given while it will be more useful if students could have more and easier accesses to programmes produced by the Student TV

To promote self-directed learning through reading a more enriched reading atmosphere in school should still be enhanced Students should be much encouraged to make good use of the prescribed reading lists for their self-directed academic pursuit by asking them to provide diffused information acquired from prescribed readings to accomplish their assignments or by giving them bonus term marks Persistent efforts in finding and subscribing suitable ibooks for students should still be attempted to facilitate studentsrsquo self-direct learning
The increasing needs in catering for studentsrsquo learning diversities require both the school and the teachers to take more appropriate actions teachers should further develop a better awareness of the importance of catering for learner differences as both effective and
indispensable in helping all students not just the low achievers they should be encouraged to participate actively in learning circles of teachers of the same or other schools to develop suitable and effective strategies to be applied in classrooms for the purpose
the school should take steps to look into the real situation of learning diversities of our students and to work out school-based policies and development programmes to equip the school and the teachers with the necessary knowledge and strategies to enhance studentsrsquo learning through catering for their learning diversities
both the teachers and school should also prepare themselves to provide help and support to those students with special education needs who have been growing in number in recent years
Based on the contemporary success in making use of cross-curricular learning to enhance studentsrsquo learning effectiveness some better measures could still be taken to enrich and improve the Cross Curricular Learning Day activities to refine the attempts at developing and implementing the Language Across Curriculum and to working out a practical school-based curriculum for cross-curricular learning the Cross-curricular Learning Day in providing students with task-oriented or theme-based leaning opportunities should also
integrate other ingredients to develop students as effective learners like learning outside the classroom and enhancing their skills in e-learning mobile learning as well as self-directed learning
cross-curricular learning through Language Across Curriculum should include not just English with History Geography Mathematics and Integrated Science but also with all other EMI academic subjects so that both the language and the academic subjects could reinforce one another in studentsrsquo learning and there should be better coordination to facilitate teachersrsquo cooperation and to incorporate well the LAC lessons into the teaching schedules of the subjects concerned
subject panels should be much encouraged and supported to review their curricula to identify suitable topics and themes for cross-curricular learning in order to work out the school-based tailor-made cross-curricular learning curricula
Cooperative learning should still be further enforced especially in junior forms in order to familiarize students in the earliest stage of the secondary school study with the unique learning skills and styles and teachers should still be much encouraged and facilitated to widely practice cooperative learning by providing them with the necessary materials needed for cooperative learning requiring them to work with each other in collaborative teaching to work out and implement the teaching plans with cooperative learning elements and asking them to start with the junior forms to try out the strategies for cooperative learning

23 Gifted Education Development
231 Achievements With sufficient preparatory work in the previous year this academic year saw the progressive development of gifted education in True Light Girls College With concerted efforts of the Committee members new initiatives were raised and relevant issues and concerns were explored On the administrative level The Gifted Education Committee was officially formed The committee set up gifted education policy and implemented certain projects in
the year Aiming to identify students gifted in different domains and provide suitable learning opportunities for them talent pools in S2 and S3 were
set up focusing on performance of eight domains namely Chinese English Mathematics Science Music Physical Education Art and Leadership In each domain of each form 16 students were selected as gifted by respective subject teachers or class teachers The talent pools were made accessible for all teachers so that all of them could identify gifted students in certain domains when necessary
Towards the end of the academic year talent pools were updated for the new academic year A system was developed for managing the ongoing pull-out programmes The system categorized the running programmes concerned
on subject-based criteria On students level In this year the nomination process of students to join off-site enrichment and extension programmes provided by Gifted Education
Section of EDB the Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education local tertiary institutions and universities was carried out smoothly A leadership training programme was successfully organized in August 2014 for potential student leaders All S4 students were assigned to join The Hong Kong Award for Young People (AYP) which is a scheme promoting all-round
development and exploring ones talent and potential One committee member teacher was assigned to each of the 4 classes to monitor students completion of the scheme
Two talks were held for students throughout the year One aimed at informing S4 students of the rationale and implementation of AYP Another one is for S2 and S3 students introducing the rationale of talent pool and how students should go all out to develop their talents
On teachers level Teachers were invited to contribute to the development of talent pool During the process they were introduced the definition of
giftedness and some selective criteria of gifted students
On parents level Mr Patrick Lam Associate Director of the Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education was invited to be the guest speaker of a seminar for
parents on Parents Day in February The talk introduced the ideas of giftedness and it received positive responses from the parents

232 Reflection
The goals set were achieved well in the previous academic year It is deemed that improvements on certain areas of the Committee could be made for future development of gifted education in breadth and depth All members of the group should have a basic and unanimous understanding as to how gifted education is defined and how its
development is implemented on the school level It is time for all members to receive further training provided by the Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education Core members of the group should receive more advanced training especially on the administrative level More meetings and informal exchanges should take place for achieving such an aim
With the development of the talent pool it should be introduced to all teaching staff thoroughly so that they are more aware of its existence and use
AYP is to be implemented in both S4 and S5 Last year the completion rate of the scheme was not satisfactory as teachers in charge found it difficult to monitor students progress frequently and regularly Next year AYP ambassadors will be assigned in all S4 and S5 classes It is hoped that they can facilitate the monitoring work as well as the promotional work of relevant activities
Gifted education in classroom is one of the concerns of the Committee A staff development programme regarding high-order thinking skills is to be held in next year helping teachers familiarize themselves with how such skills can be developed among students in classroom
24 Career Education Enrichment
241 Achievements This is the second year of the 5-year School Development Plan 2012-2017 This is a good opportunity for students teachers and parents to understand the importance of career education for the student development through organizing and participating in different programmes This year a wide variety of programmes were organized for all stakeholders to be equipped in career education These should be helpful for students to pursue their own goals with the support from their parents and teachers On enhancing professional development of teachers on career education a staff development programme on Implementation of Career Education in Secondary School was organized for all teachers on 6
January 2014 We invited Dr Ho Yuk Fan the Vice Chairperson of The Hong Kong Association of Careers Masters and Guidance Masters to share the latest information in Career Guidance The teachers were very positive to the programme
A workshop was particularly designed for Career Guidance teachers to understand more about the use of the Career Interest Inventory on 14 March 2014
In addition a professional exchange between Methodist College and us was held on 10 April 2014 Ways for effective implementation of the career guidance programmes at school were shared
The Career Guidance Committee attended a talk on how to use the CLP Grant on 27 February 2014

On equipping senior form students for their planning of future career Based on the student evaluation collected last year the S4 curriculum was modified so that more group discussion was introduced
Students could be more involved in the lessons To supplement the formal lessons lots of activities were arranged for S4 students These included Goal Setting Workshop Simulation
Game 踏步大未來生涯規劃工作坊 Mr Work (Simulation) visits to Chow Tai Fook Immigration Service Institute of Training amp
Development Centaline K11-Art Mall and Mock Court Trial Over 10 programmes were offered to both S5 and S6 students For S6 students there were JUPAS Choice Workshop JUPAS sharing
night Mock DSE Result Release Workshop Career talk on CUSCS and VTC For S5 students there were Goal Setting Workshop Mr

On arousing the awareness of the importance of career planning in junior forms
Programmes were designed for all junior form levels For S3 there were money management workshop Subject Choice Workshop 財
智 GOAL飛 Workshop S2 was Career Planning Workshop There were also Career Quiz for S1 to S3 students
True Light Bonds was one of the most important programmes for S1 and S4 students designed by the Career Guidance Committee Both S1 and S4 students were given an opportunity to brainstorm their future career they would like to pursue
Japanese and Korean Culture Workshops visits to RTHK and Chinese Cuisine Training Institute were arranged to widen studentsrsquo exposures
On helping students set clear goals on future study and career The QEF project was completed on 30 April 2014 Programmes were arranged for students teachers and parents to enrich their
career knowledge and experiences Subject panels provided a wide variety of activities to inspire students for the pursuit of their further study and career opportunities such
as visiting RTHK attending a CEO talk from KCS and a public lecture on ldquoExplore the World of Medicinerdquo Some students found the participation in the OLE activities inspired them in setting up their own goals Reflections on goal set up for
study and career can be seen in S6 studentsrsquo Student Learning Profile and the OEA
242 Reflection The school has been promoting career education to the stakeholders at school Even though there were difficulties in the implementation phase it was a good start Some teachers may not fully understand the importance of career education to all students More professional development on career
guidance should be provided to teachers so that they will be better equipped for providing more comprehensive support to the students More CRE activities were organized but the teachers could better help the students to consolidate their learning and relate their
experiences to career planning so as to arouse studentsrsquo awareness to the importance of career planning For the Career Education Curriculum it would be introduced in S3 in 2014-2015 Students could have an earlier awareness which can
help them make a more informed choice for their study and career

3 Learning and Teaching 31 Learning Experiences
Our students have been with pride and perseverance putting the call of the School Mission into their daily learning as they always tend to lsquothink
independentlyrsquo and lsquolearn proactivelyrsquo in their academic pursuit Taking such approaches in learning both in and outside the classroom students find that they could make the most out of their various learning experiences as they striving for the best academic performance
Through their daily learning in classroom students did not just acquire knowledge subject-wise while developing their various generic skills they
could also learn to treasure important universal values when they came across the core elements in value education including moral civic and environmental education which had been immerged with the different subjects they studied These invaluable learning experiences could help students establish correct and positive attitudes towards life which is very useful for them to live and enrich their everyday life and to foster their whole person development
Students became very effective learners in and outside the classroom with the help of information technology When in classrooms students
were highly engaged in each lesson with teachers making the frequent use of various information technology devices like the computing system the electronic whiteboard the Simultaneous Response System and the overhead projector as well as different audio-visual aids to enrich their learning experiences Students could also make use of various e-learning provisions in school to conduct their own self-directed learning outside the classroom In recent years students could study with the e-learning packages uploaded to the eClass platform by their subject teachers and conduct their private study with the help of the computer in the Computer Room Since last Easter students could also use ipads for their self-directed study in the newly-established E-Learning Centre
Junior form studentsrsquo learning in classrooms was also much facilitated with some new ingredients inserted in their lessons For instance students
in S1 and S2 could learn with ipads in English lessons to accomplish their learning tasks and to share promptly and effectively their learning outcomes with classmates Junior form students attending Liberal Studies Integrated Science and Computer Literacy periods would also often find themselves learning lively and actively through ipads
Furthermore junior form students had also come across with a new learning experience in their Language across Curriculum lessons with
subjects like English Mathematics History Geography and Integrated Science Learning with the tailor-made cross-curricular materials which include innovative worksheets as well as interactive games and activities students found it marvelous as their study of the English language and the subject content of Mathematics Science and Humanities could reinforce each other
Drama education was introduced as a new element in the English learning of junior form students with the hope that this integration of the
lsquodramarsquo elements in the English periods would make the lessons more impressive and appealing to students while students could learn in a more creative and interactive way the listening writing reading and speaking skills in the learning of the language
Junior form students had also got used to making use of cooperative learning in class to help maximize their learning effectiveness and outcomes
especially in lessons of English Liberal Studies History and Geography For senior form students there was still a strong tendency for them to take less than three elective subjects in their NSS study In this school year
after their application for dropping elective subjects had been approved after the last Final Examination there are now 58 students in S5 and 92 students in S6 studying less than three elective subjects Meanwhile there are already 11 students in S4 studying only two elective subjects many were S4 repeaters who could only take two elective subjects for their study Moreover there are only 7 students (out of 37) still studied M1 in S6 while a total of 18 (out of 36) had withdrawn their study of M2
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014
- 22 -
With the growing dropping rate of M1 and M2 in S5 and S6 there would only be a class of students admitted to S4 this year given the opportunity to study the Mathematics extensions but this study would only take place after they have been promoted to S5 In the meantime those S6 and S5 students who had withdrawn their study of an elective subject had still to attend supplementary Chinese and English lessons two periods for each language per cycle in the first term or the second term respectively For other spare periods these students had to conduct their self-directed learning in the school library while class and subject teachers were well aware of giving them more and better support through guidance or providing them with more supplementary work or exercises Those students who had withdrawn from studying the Mathematics extension parts had to attend supplementary Mathematics (Core) lessons to concentrate on improving their performance in the subject
Senior form students could also have other learning experiences within their normal lessons like Religious Education lessons for Moral amp Civic
Education PE lessons for Physical Development Career Education lessons in S4 for Career-Related Experiences as well as Aesthetic Development lessons For Career Education though it was not included as normal lessons in S5 and S6 it had still been implemented for the students as immersed programmes conducted in class teachersrsquo periods or assembly time for S5 and S6
Besides learning through the formal curriculum in classrooms students also learned without boundaries outside the classroom They took part
actively in the Cross-curricular Learning Day learning across subject boundaries in the form of thematic study like lsquoThe Changing Face of Centralrsquo (S1) lsquoWhatrsquos on the Menursquo (S2) lsquoField Study in Kingrsquos Parkrsquo (S3) lsquoLearning Positive Traits from Famous Peoplersquo (S4) and lsquoWorking Realityrsquo (S5) Moreover students enjoyed something like a knowledge carnival in the re-organized Inter-House General Quiz when both the House teams and the House members as audience were asked of questions from all the subjects they studied
Students also learned in a lively and creative way and gained significantly when they participated in some exchange or interflow activities or
attended the various enrichment or enhancement courses organized by the school or when they acquired other learning experiences outside the classroom
Students were given the opportunities to learn in other schools when they joined in some student interflow schemes like the Local Student
Exchange Scheme co-organized with Hong Kong True Light Middle School on April 1-3 2014 as well as with Queen Elizabeth School on April 9-10 2014 Students had also twice the time to have interflows with students from Guangzhou True Light Middle School on November 6-7 2013 and April 30 2014 Students who had become buddies of the student visitors from other schools could have especially gone through some brand new and unforgettable learning experiences
The Capacity Enhancement Grant (CEG) and the Diversity Learning (DLG) were well made use of to provide students with extra support to
further enrich their knowledge to enhance better their learning capacity and develop deeper their interests and skills Through CEG there were Enrichment Courses for S1-S3 Gifted Students in Mathematics an Interactive Drama Performance Course for S2 students Drama Courses to enhance S4 and S5 students in their English Learning Chinese Debating Courses for S2 to S4 students Physics Courses on lsquoArchitecture amp Mechanicsrsquo and lsquoElectromagnetismrsquo biotechnology experiments for Biology students in senior forms a Beginner Digital Photography Course and Student TV Training Course Through DLG there included a Learning English through Debating Extension Course a Learning English through Social Issues and Pop Culture Extension Course workshops on Chinese writing and composition Biology courses on lsquoForensic Sciencersquo and lsquoBiotechnology Experimentsrsquo and Mathematics and Liberal Studies enhancement courses for NSS students
Studentsrsquo knowledge horizons were also broadened when they participated in a variety of extra-curricular or co-curricular activities like visits
field trips and study tours abroad like to Singapore in January 2014 on Environmental Historical Cultural and English studies to mainland China (Beijing) for Cultural Studies and to Taiwan on Music Interfow Different subject panels had also worked through their respective academic societies to provide various innovative life-wide learning activities to arouse studentsrsquo interests and to enhance their ability in learning the disciplines Talks of academics or scholars had also been organized to help arouse studentsrsquo social consciousness and academic concerns

32 Teaching Strategies Our teachers had been incessantly acquiring and attempting to put into practice different kinds of teaching strategies to cater for the various
learning needs of our students in order to help them achieve the best learning outcomes Teachers always took up the role of facilitators in classrooms focusing at constructing an interactive classroom in order to arouse studentsrsquo learning motivation and help encourage their proactive learning Students were provided with various stimuli to help their learning like providing them with different scenarios to inspire them to explore every possible method to solve problems asking them graded and high order thinking questions to enhance their creativity and critical thinking skills and giving them carefully designed differentiated and challenging tasks to enrich their useful and meaningful learning opportunities in classrooms Teachers also provided timely and constructive feedbacks and compliments to students as recognition and reinforcement of their learning outcomes
Teachers also tended to have frequent applications of various information technology techniques and devices like the computing systems
visualizers ipads as well as the electronic whiteboards with the simultaneous response system to help reinforce their teaching strategies in creating a more interactive and effective learning environment to make learning and teaching more effective Teachers had been looking into the possibility of making a wider use of e-learning strategies like providing students with e-learning packages and resources through the eClass platform introducing e-textbooks to students and subscribing for them i-books for self-directed learning The first task had been taken for a few years while the other two tasks were still put under study
To improve the teaching strategies on catering for learning diversities our school had joined with other schools in the Learning Circle of Catering
for Learning Diversities organized by EDB to keep an interflow of related ideas and strategies with other schools The school had also participated in the research on ldquoHong Kong In-service Teachersrsquo Self-efficacy and Readiness for Differentiated Instruction for Diverse Learnersrsquo organized by the Faculty of Education of The Chinese University of Hong Kong in order to have a better understanding on the preparedness and readiness of our teachers at catering for learning diversities
Our teachers had also engaged themselves in an active sharing of teaching strategies as they contributed proactively their articles to the
publication of a Collection of Teaching Recollections of Teachers of True Light Girlsrsquo College called lsquoTrue Light Sharingrsquo in the last school year As seen from the four sections in the book teachers of different subjects shared with their colleagues and teachers of other schools their teaching plans lesson tips glowing new ideas in teaching as well as some teaching reflections
Teachers had been actively making use of the Collaborative Teaching Scheme and the Common Free Periods to work together and to learn from
each other for the purpose of refining and further developing their teaching strategies Through the Collaborative Teaching Scheme teachers teaching the same subjects or within the same KLA worked in teams each consisting of two or three teachers to work out and implement together some teaching plans with peer lesson observation and evaluation Specific attention was paid to develop teaching strategies for cross-curricular and cooperative learning while the scheming of student-oriented lessons to enhance active student involvement and learning autonomy was also emphasized with concerns for provoking high-order thinking and catering for learning diversities Common free periods were arranged when setting the timetables for teachers of English Chinese Mathematics and NSS Liberal Studies at each level to enhance their professional teaching collaboration in their lesson preparation and implementation Other subject teachers had mostly taken their own initiative to arrange for themselves the same practice for their professional sharing and development
To further enhance the effectiveness of our teaching strategies in order to bring about satisfactory learning outcomes of students it is still
necessary for our teachers to acquire improve and implement the teaching strategies concerning catering for learning diversities of high achievers low achievers as well as students with special education needs Steps have also to be taken to tailor-make the curriculum of different subjects for meaningful cross-curricular learning Cooperative learning should still be widely practiced not just in junior forms and for only some subjects More importantly teachers should acquire more knowledge and skills in fostering studentsrsquo self-directed learning which includes the use of teaching strategies to facilitate the e-learning and mobile learning of students
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014

33 Assessment Studentsrsquo academic performance and learning outcomes had been continuously assessed by different modes of homework assignments quizzes
term tests and examinations Assessment for learning was greatly emphasized when giving students homework assignments to help consolidate their subject knowledge and
what they had learned in classroom Assignments which included various kinds like workbooks worksheets essay writing surveys projects case studies reports book reviews and newspaper cuttings etc were duly designed with diversified tasks and questions of varied difficulties Improvement could still be made in designing assignments to cater better for studentsrsquo diversified learning needs to adopt wider modes of assessment like self peer and parent assessments and to help students to conduct their self-directed study
To help students to put great emphasis on doing well their homework in order to consolidate their learning outcomes the Homework Submission
Scheme was adopted and implemented in these recent years to make students do and submit their homework assignments properly Together with the homework policies of different subject panels which often included mark deduction for late submission of assignments students had become more punctual and orderly in their homework submission To further encourage students to do well their homework assignments in order to achieve satisfactory learning outcomes the Most Outstanding Homework Performance Award Scheme was still carried out and a total of 44 and 52 students were awarded in the first term and the second term respectively
To have a better supervision from the school management and the subject panel heads on homework assignments to students including the
content and marking of the assignments the assignment inspection policy was carried out which required the subject panel heads to supervise the panel members over their making use of homework assignments in achieving their teaching objectives Panel heads could make use of the standard record forms of assignment inspection to see into the quality and the quantity of the assignments given by teachers and to evaluate the marking of the teachers and the ways they gave the comments and feedbacks The subject panel heads also had to submit their studentsrsquo assignments to the school management for the same kind of inspection
Besides assessment assignments studentsrsquo annual academic performance in school was formally assessed through tests and examinations
which made up the term marks and the examination marks of studentsrsquo annual scores respectively There were two examinations for each level of students every year For tests there were at least two assessments (testassignmentproject) for each subject within each term For junior forms there should be at least one test in the first term and preferably two tests in the second term while for senior forms the two assessments each term should be tests
The New Senior Secondary Curriculum provided teachers with great challenges in different aspects including assessment Teachers had been
especially careful to be accurate in using the standard referencing system to assess students on the levels they attained in different assessments and different subjects Two attempts were still made in the last school year to help teachers to conduct their level marking more confidently The first was to keep joining the HKDSE Mock Examination Papers Exchange Scheme organized by the Association of Principals of Secondary Schools of the Hong Kong Council of the Church of Christ in China Subject teachers who had joined the Scheme found it very helpful to conduct level marking by taking the marking criteria set by other schools as reference and examples The other attempt was to predict for students their levels of attainment in different subjects after the S6 Mid-year Examination and students were given their predicted grades on S6 Parentsrsquo Day as a way to help the students as well as their parents to prepare better for the Mock Examination and HKDSE The school joined for the second time the Pilot Study on Predicted Levels of 2014 Core Subjects (CEML) conducted by the Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority to study on the reliability of our prediction of
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014
- 25 -
studentsrsquo CEML subjects to evaluate teachersrsquo accuracy in level marking while reliable predicted grades will be useful for managing the expectation of students and their parents The School Report of the pilot study showed that there was a satisfactorily high correlation between the predicted grades awarded by our teachers to students and the actual level attained by students in 2014 HKDSE showing that teachers had a good understanding and knowledge on standard referencing and their level marking performance was very reliable
To match much better the level attainment system adopted by the New Senior Secondary Curriculum with the traditional marking system which
was revealed in studentsrsquo Academic Reports it was decided that the passing mark in senior form subjects would be changed from 50 to 40 of the total mark Such a change could also better reflect the possible level attainment obtained by students in HKDSE
Teachers were also very cautious in taking sophisticated procedures in conducting the School-based Assessment in the New Senior Secondary
Curriculum Students were assessed on the same tasks and with the same assessment criteria To achieve this students were given common SBA tasks across classes and the same standard of assessment The same criteria for awarding marks to all students were applied and in doing so consultation among teachers to align the marking criteria was often conducted and trial marking of samples of studentsrsquo work was constantly carried out Marks given were adjusted whenever necessary to ensure consistence of assessment standard Reference materials and archive materials were used to help standardizing marking Proper and sufficient guidance and supervision was provided to students to ensure the quality and authenticity of their work There was feedback and advice on improvement to students after the completion of marking to provide them with a fruitful learning experience

the Student Fellowship played its key role in fostering the religious atmosphere the Junior Fellowship and the Senior Fellowship met regularly for religious activities and sharing the student official members of the two Fellowships had their frequent religious sharing meetings a Gospel Day was organized before the Christmas holidays for students and teachers the LIGHT Summer Camp (4-672014) and a Training Day Camp (2982014) were held to help students reflect on relationships
with God and with each other while teams relationships and problem solving skills were also nurtured the Religious Education and Music curricula were reviewed and modified as
thematic studies like those on lsquoloversquo and lsquomeanings of lifersquo were included in the Religious Education curriculum for different levels of students to learn about religion in a lively and collective way
hymns with their rich religious meanings were taught and sung in Music lessons Collaboration with preachers from churches in organizing religious activities and leadership training
A network with HKCCC Hop Yat Church (Kowloon Church) Mongkok Church and Mandarin Church which was helpful and supportive to the holding of religious activities in our school
preachers from various neighbouring churches had helped in many of our religious studies like Teacher Retreat Education Sunday Bible sharing and giving religious services
On enhancing studentsrsquo contribution to society community or voluntary service training programmes were designed and implemented to equip S4 students and student leaders with the
necessary skills and techniques and to engage them in providing the services the Service Learning Programme was introduced to S4 students as a part of their school learning and all S4 students had to
participate in the programme so as to broaden their horizons and arouse their awareness of the needs in the society a Leadership Training Programme was arranged for all student organizers to help them design and organize the service
programmes Students of different levels were facilitated to take part in community service programmes to serve the needy

212 Reflection
The traditional and invaluable spirit of sisterhood had been well nurtured and more established in the past school year with some further strengthening of the sister-forms system the continuing growth of mutual care and cooperation between sister-forms and the strengthening of bonds between students and the alumnae
Based on our existing persisting effort in nurturing sisterhood among students and even between our students and alumnae more and different attempts should still have to make to foster sisterhood among students of the same class the same form the same House within the whole school and even with the other True Light Schools in Hong Kong and Guangzhou Such endeavours could be made through the established mechanisms like the class associations the form associations the four Houses and the Student Union within our school while new initiatives should be sought for strengthening sisterhood among the True Light Schools
Sisterhood within our own school could still be further enhanced with various kinds of games activities and competitions organized at inter-class inter-form and inter-House levels including those very popular established practices like the Interclass Rope Skipping Competition the Interclass Tug-of-war Competition the Athletic Meet and the Swimming Gala It could be very useful and meaningful if more different kinds of inter-class inter-form or inter-House activities would be held like choral speaking debates ball games quizzes and drama festival It was good to have the revived attempts like re-organizing the Inter-House General Quiz and for each House to re-hold its own House Annual General Meeting to raise sisterhood in the House levels There are still more things the Houses could do like re-holding Orientation Gathering for S1 House members to foster sisterhood through the enhancement of the House spirit The Student Union may attempt to organize certain events like the Student Festival to enhance the school spirit of all students
Sisterhood could still be much enhanced through the sister-forms system especially for the sister classes of S2 and S5 More opportunities like sharing games competitions etc should still have to be created for students of the sister classes to have much closer encounters communication and cooperation
There had been certain attempts which could help nurturing sisterhood among the True Light Schools like holding student interflows co-organizing overseas study tours and drama workshops attending each otherrsquos school anniversary thanksgiving services and visiting our Alma Mater in Guangzhou Based on these good practices more attempts in the studentsrsquo level could still be tried out like re-holding the Joint True Light Schools Athletic Meet and organizing joint activities or competitions like debates quizzes and even a drama fest Such sisterhood within the True Light schools could facilitate our working together with greater collective efforts to reinforce the True Light legacies and to demonstrate them to the community
Satisfactory work had been done to facilitate students to learn more about the True Light history values and traditions in order to uphold and sustain the True Light legacies in students More creative and meaningful ways could still be attempted to motivate students to have genuine interests to know more about everything concerning True Light Taking True Light history spirit culture traditions and legacies as the main theme students could be asked to do researches or projects on the issue while even different kinds of competitions games days or carnivals could be held for the purpose
The religious atmosphere in the school had been greatly fostered all through the year with morning prayers religious practices in assemblies Student Fellowship activities and most importantly studentsrsquo religious education in classrooms It could still be further enhanced if students would be led to live with religious beliefs and values in their daily life encountering issues of personal and current affairs with the religious faith and perspectives
Students had been much facilitated to serve the society with training programmes to equip them with the necessary skills and knowledge with voluntary work for them to serve the needed and with commendation on their accomplishments in performing voluntary and community services It is our present practice to have different student bodies in school to organize voluntary services as a part of the annual programmes to provide students with the opportunities to serve the community It would be even more constructive if a Social Service Society could be newly formed to act as an individual student body focusing purely on doing different kinds of social and voluntary services It would be even more fruitful and helpful if students could take both a whole person development approach and a deep concern for our community when they contribute themselves in doing voluntary and community services Students should take their contribution to society as indispensable for their personal growth which should include not just doing community services but also their love care and concern for the development of the community

Major and further steps were taken earnestly by the school to carry on with the realization of the four foci emphasized in the 5-year School Development Plan (2012 ndash 2017) including well-developing studentsrsquo self-direct learning practices well-catering for studentsrsquo learning diversities broadening studentsrsquo learning horizons with cross-curricular learning and enhancing studentsrsquo learning in classroom with cooperative learning The following accomplishments were made with the strenuous and persistent collaborative effort contributed by the whole teaching staff
On developing well studentsrsquo self-direct learning practices students were helped in acquiring and developing self-direct learning skills and habits with the implementation of the e-Learning Pilot
Scheme and the making use of the eClass platform students in S1 and S2 were provided with plenty opportunities in the English lessons to familiarize themselves with the use of ipads
to help develop well their self-direct learning abilities and they found their learning of the English language had become doubly effective as the use of ipads could help them achieve their learning tasks and share their learning outcomes promptly and effectively
students were trained in their junior form study to well equip themselves in the use of ipads for self-direct learning as they were taught and drilled in their S1 to S3 Computer Literacy lessons on the basic use of ipads and process apps in order to cultivate their skills habits and confidence in making use of ipads for their self-direct learning
many Liberal Studies Geography and Science teachers had also made a very wide use of ipads in and outside the classrooms to enhance further studentsrsquo capabilities in using ipads for school learning as well as self-direct learning
studentsrsquo use of ipads in school had been much enhanced by the e-Learning Pilot Scheme which helped provide the WiFi network while the school showed its strong support through providing the additional ipads and process apps
students had also made good use of the eClass platform for their self-direct learning as they did their private study with the many self-direct learning packages prepared and uploaded by teachers of different subjects
students could conduct their self-explorative learning more effectively and conveniently in the newly established E-Learning Centre plans and steps to convert the MMLC into a self-access E-Learning Centre were taken since the start of the last academic year with
the major conversion works taken and completed during the Easter Holiday with school funding the newly established E-Learning Centre was installed with a full coverage of high speed WiFi access a
suitable number of 42 ipads and related furniture the E-Learning Centre started to open to students for their self-direct learning with the use of ipads after the Easter Holiday
students took the multi-functional Student TV as a self-direct learning platform and engaged themselves in it as effective learners by either producing or viewing the Student TV programme the True Light Student TV studio was established with a well-trained production team of students responsible for running different
channels under the supervision of a Supervisory Committee of teacher advisors programmes were produced and broadcast according to schedules for students for school news information and knowledge
building and the viewers mostly found the programmes satisfactory for their self-direct learning reading to learn was persistently promoted to facilitate studentsrsquo self-direct learning
prescribed reading booklists for students were duly prepared by different subject panels for each level and uploaded to either the subject web pages or the school library website and students generally found the prescribed reading could facilitate their self-direct learning
suitable i-books had been sought throughout the year and their subscription could only be made when there would be satisfactory i-books with reasonable costs offered in the market

On catering well for studentsrsquo learning diversities teachers had kept on adopting suitable teaching strategies to make classroom learning effective for students of different learning
abilities like arousing studentsrsquo learning motivation strengthening studentsrsquo language abilities providing students with various kinds of
exposure and it was a common practice for teachers to make use of graded questions and differentiated tasks to better match studentsrsquo abilities
preparing the high achievers for higher achievement by giving them more challenging tasks and learning activities during the lessons to provoke their high-order thinking setting bonus questions or worksheets and designing for them more demanding homework assignments
different learning programmes were provided for high achievers and weaker students like offering off-site courses in Chinese English Mathematics Liberal Studies Physics and Biology for NSS high-achieving students to
further enhance their learning abilities in these subjects arranging after-school tutorial classes for those junior form students who were weak in the main subjects
preparatory measures were attempted to tailor-make the school policies on catering for studentsrsquo learning diversities like joining the Learning Circle of Catering for Learning Diversities organized by EDB to keep interflow of ideas with other schools participating in the research on ldquoHong Kong In-service Teachersrsquo Self-efficacy and Readiness for Differentiated Instruction for
Diverse Learnersrsquo organized by the Faculty of Education of The Chinese University of Hong Kong to have a better understanding on the preparedness and readiness of our teachers at catering for learning diversities
taking the initiative within members of the Academic Standing Committee to prepare the school much better in catering for learning diversities like taking steps to further review the school policies and strategies on the issue to conduct a further study on studentsrsquo learning diversities and to coordinate the teaching strategies adopted by different subjects to cater for learning diversities
On broadening studentsrsquo learning horizons with cross-curricular learning the Language Across Curriculum project was implemented promoting cross-curricular learning with English as the teaching medium
a cross-panel Language Across Curriculum Coordinating Team was set up comprising of a Vice-principal four English teachers one Mathematics teachers and one Integrated Science teacher
with the advice and guidance of a hired consultant teachers of the LAC team had worked out and developed a total of 24 cross-curricular learning and teaching packages on English Mathematics and Integrated Science for the junior form students including worksheets on both language and content items as well as interactive activities and games to be used in lessons
these learning and teaching materials would be fully utilized in the new school year while they would also serve as examples for other EMI subjects to develop cross-curricular learning materials with English
the 24 LAC teaching and learning packages with interactive learning activities and graded exercises on English History and Geography were successfully put into practice in the junior form lessons
the annual Cross-curricular Learning Day activities were carried successfully on 21st February providing students with task-oriented learning opportunities to learn more effectively and creatively without subject boundaries like
lsquoThe Changing Face of Centralrsquo (S1) lsquoWhatrsquos on the Menursquo (S2) lsquoField Study in Kingrsquos Parkrsquo (S3) lsquoLearning Positive Traits from Famous Peoplersquo (S4) and lsquoWorking Realityrsquo (S5)
studentsrsquo language proficiency had been greatly enhanced as students had to accomplish tasks like writing and orally presenting reports in their Cross-curricular Learning Day activities
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014
- 16 -
initial steps to develop tailor-made curricula to promote cross-curricular learning were taken as subject panels especially those within the same key learning areas were encouraged to identify suitable cross-curricular topics
across subjects some teachers especially those within the same key learning areas were encouraged to include cross-curricular elements in their
collaborative teaching plans On enhancing studentsrsquo learning in classroom with cooperative learning many teachers had participated quite actively in many professional development activities concerning cooperative learning including
peer lesson observation experience sharing on the practice of the related teaching strategies
many teachers had included cooperative elements in their lessons like including cooperative learning elements in their collaborative teaching plans practicing cooperative learning more in junior form lessons
students were equipped with cooperative learning skills in junior forms Liberal Studies lessons with high demands of interactive learning and creativity were taken as the most appropriate platform for
students to start acquiring and practicing cooperative learning skills in junior forms cooperative learning was also quite frequently applied in S1-S3 classrooms especially by teachers of subjects like English History
Integrated Science and Geography
222 Reflection Studentsrsquo self-directed learning practices had developed quite satisfactorily in the past school year through the wide practice of
e-learning the making good use of the Student TV and the insistence on reading to learn but there is still plenty room for improvement Both teachers and students should have some better understanding of the real benefits and strategies of self-directed learning for
enhancing learning effectiveness There should be more professional development on self-directed learning for teachers including both the philosophies and teaching strategies Teachers should engage students meaningfully and effectively in their self-directed learning to compensate for the lack of sufficient time for students to learn just in the classroom Students on the other hand should still have to develop the habit of self-directed learning so that they could learn more widely and freely beyond the constraints of classroom learning
To develop e-learning for effective self-directed learning it is very necessary to have the sufficient provision of both the hardware and software For hardware more ipads should be provided for students for the convenience of their mobile learning and classroom sharing and plans should be taken to cover the whole school campus with WiFi access Both teachers and students should be encouraged to use the newly established E-Learning Centre for lessons or self-directed learning As for software teachers should be given more room and support to enable them to prepare more e-learning lessons and teaching packages as well as self-access learning materials or packages for studentsrsquo self-directed learning More suitable apps for educational and instructional purposes should have been purchased
The Student TV should still be much better developed as an effective platform for studentsrsquo self-directed learning To produce better programmes both in quantity and quality for self-directed learning more and more students should be trained and supported to become more active in producing and broadcasting self-direct learning programmes for students More broadcasting time should be given while it will be more useful if students could have more and easier accesses to programmes produced by the Student TV

To promote self-directed learning through reading a more enriched reading atmosphere in school should still be enhanced Students should be much encouraged to make good use of the prescribed reading lists for their self-directed academic pursuit by asking them to provide diffused information acquired from prescribed readings to accomplish their assignments or by giving them bonus term marks Persistent efforts in finding and subscribing suitable ibooks for students should still be attempted to facilitate studentsrsquo self-direct learning
The increasing needs in catering for studentsrsquo learning diversities require both the school and the teachers to take more appropriate actions teachers should further develop a better awareness of the importance of catering for learner differences as both effective and
indispensable in helping all students not just the low achievers they should be encouraged to participate actively in learning circles of teachers of the same or other schools to develop suitable and effective strategies to be applied in classrooms for the purpose
the school should take steps to look into the real situation of learning diversities of our students and to work out school-based policies and development programmes to equip the school and the teachers with the necessary knowledge and strategies to enhance studentsrsquo learning through catering for their learning diversities
both the teachers and school should also prepare themselves to provide help and support to those students with special education needs who have been growing in number in recent years
Based on the contemporary success in making use of cross-curricular learning to enhance studentsrsquo learning effectiveness some better measures could still be taken to enrich and improve the Cross Curricular Learning Day activities to refine the attempts at developing and implementing the Language Across Curriculum and to working out a practical school-based curriculum for cross-curricular learning the Cross-curricular Learning Day in providing students with task-oriented or theme-based leaning opportunities should also
integrate other ingredients to develop students as effective learners like learning outside the classroom and enhancing their skills in e-learning mobile learning as well as self-directed learning
cross-curricular learning through Language Across Curriculum should include not just English with History Geography Mathematics and Integrated Science but also with all other EMI academic subjects so that both the language and the academic subjects could reinforce one another in studentsrsquo learning and there should be better coordination to facilitate teachersrsquo cooperation and to incorporate well the LAC lessons into the teaching schedules of the subjects concerned
subject panels should be much encouraged and supported to review their curricula to identify suitable topics and themes for cross-curricular learning in order to work out the school-based tailor-made cross-curricular learning curricula
Cooperative learning should still be further enforced especially in junior forms in order to familiarize students in the earliest stage of the secondary school study with the unique learning skills and styles and teachers should still be much encouraged and facilitated to widely practice cooperative learning by providing them with the necessary materials needed for cooperative learning requiring them to work with each other in collaborative teaching to work out and implement the teaching plans with cooperative learning elements and asking them to start with the junior forms to try out the strategies for cooperative learning

23 Gifted Education Development
231 Achievements With sufficient preparatory work in the previous year this academic year saw the progressive development of gifted education in True Light Girls College With concerted efforts of the Committee members new initiatives were raised and relevant issues and concerns were explored On the administrative level The Gifted Education Committee was officially formed The committee set up gifted education policy and implemented certain projects in
the year Aiming to identify students gifted in different domains and provide suitable learning opportunities for them talent pools in S2 and S3 were
set up focusing on performance of eight domains namely Chinese English Mathematics Science Music Physical Education Art and Leadership In each domain of each form 16 students were selected as gifted by respective subject teachers or class teachers The talent pools were made accessible for all teachers so that all of them could identify gifted students in certain domains when necessary
Towards the end of the academic year talent pools were updated for the new academic year A system was developed for managing the ongoing pull-out programmes The system categorized the running programmes concerned
on subject-based criteria On students level In this year the nomination process of students to join off-site enrichment and extension programmes provided by Gifted Education
Section of EDB the Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education local tertiary institutions and universities was carried out smoothly A leadership training programme was successfully organized in August 2014 for potential student leaders All S4 students were assigned to join The Hong Kong Award for Young People (AYP) which is a scheme promoting all-round
development and exploring ones talent and potential One committee member teacher was assigned to each of the 4 classes to monitor students completion of the scheme
Two talks were held for students throughout the year One aimed at informing S4 students of the rationale and implementation of AYP Another one is for S2 and S3 students introducing the rationale of talent pool and how students should go all out to develop their talents
On teachers level Teachers were invited to contribute to the development of talent pool During the process they were introduced the definition of
giftedness and some selective criteria of gifted students
On parents level Mr Patrick Lam Associate Director of the Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education was invited to be the guest speaker of a seminar for
parents on Parents Day in February The talk introduced the ideas of giftedness and it received positive responses from the parents

232 Reflection
The goals set were achieved well in the previous academic year It is deemed that improvements on certain areas of the Committee could be made for future development of gifted education in breadth and depth All members of the group should have a basic and unanimous understanding as to how gifted education is defined and how its
development is implemented on the school level It is time for all members to receive further training provided by the Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education Core members of the group should receive more advanced training especially on the administrative level More meetings and informal exchanges should take place for achieving such an aim
With the development of the talent pool it should be introduced to all teaching staff thoroughly so that they are more aware of its existence and use
AYP is to be implemented in both S4 and S5 Last year the completion rate of the scheme was not satisfactory as teachers in charge found it difficult to monitor students progress frequently and regularly Next year AYP ambassadors will be assigned in all S4 and S5 classes It is hoped that they can facilitate the monitoring work as well as the promotional work of relevant activities
Gifted education in classroom is one of the concerns of the Committee A staff development programme regarding high-order thinking skills is to be held in next year helping teachers familiarize themselves with how such skills can be developed among students in classroom
24 Career Education Enrichment
241 Achievements This is the second year of the 5-year School Development Plan 2012-2017 This is a good opportunity for students teachers and parents to understand the importance of career education for the student development through organizing and participating in different programmes This year a wide variety of programmes were organized for all stakeholders to be equipped in career education These should be helpful for students to pursue their own goals with the support from their parents and teachers On enhancing professional development of teachers on career education a staff development programme on Implementation of Career Education in Secondary School was organized for all teachers on 6
January 2014 We invited Dr Ho Yuk Fan the Vice Chairperson of The Hong Kong Association of Careers Masters and Guidance Masters to share the latest information in Career Guidance The teachers were very positive to the programme
A workshop was particularly designed for Career Guidance teachers to understand more about the use of the Career Interest Inventory on 14 March 2014
In addition a professional exchange between Methodist College and us was held on 10 April 2014 Ways for effective implementation of the career guidance programmes at school were shared
The Career Guidance Committee attended a talk on how to use the CLP Grant on 27 February 2014

On equipping senior form students for their planning of future career Based on the student evaluation collected last year the S4 curriculum was modified so that more group discussion was introduced
Students could be more involved in the lessons To supplement the formal lessons lots of activities were arranged for S4 students These included Goal Setting Workshop Simulation
Game 踏步大未來生涯規劃工作坊 Mr Work (Simulation) visits to Chow Tai Fook Immigration Service Institute of Training amp
Development Centaline K11-Art Mall and Mock Court Trial Over 10 programmes were offered to both S5 and S6 students For S6 students there were JUPAS Choice Workshop JUPAS sharing
night Mock DSE Result Release Workshop Career talk on CUSCS and VTC For S5 students there were Goal Setting Workshop Mr
IN 見工真人 SHOW Working Reality and JUPAS Workshop
On arousing the awareness of the importance of career planning in junior forms
Programmes were designed for all junior form levels For S3 there were money management workshop Subject Choice Workshop 財
智 GOAL飛 Workshop S2 was Career Planning Workshop There were also Career Quiz for S1 to S3 students
True Light Bonds was one of the most important programmes for S1 and S4 students designed by the Career Guidance Committee Both S1 and S4 students were given an opportunity to brainstorm their future career they would like to pursue
Japanese and Korean Culture Workshops visits to RTHK and Chinese Cuisine Training Institute were arranged to widen studentsrsquo exposures
On helping students set clear goals on future study and career The QEF project was completed on 30 April 2014 Programmes were arranged for students teachers and parents to enrich their
career knowledge and experiences Subject panels provided a wide variety of activities to inspire students for the pursuit of their further study and career opportunities such
as visiting RTHK attending a CEO talk from KCS and a public lecture on ldquoExplore the World of Medicinerdquo Some students found the participation in the OLE activities inspired them in setting up their own goals Reflections on goal set up for
study and career can be seen in S6 studentsrsquo Student Learning Profile and the OEA
242 Reflection The school has been promoting career education to the stakeholders at school Even though there were difficulties in the implementation phase it was a good start Some teachers may not fully understand the importance of career education to all students More professional development on career
guidance should be provided to teachers so that they will be better equipped for providing more comprehensive support to the students More CRE activities were organized but the teachers could better help the students to consolidate their learning and relate their
experiences to career planning so as to arouse studentsrsquo awareness to the importance of career planning For the Career Education Curriculum it would be introduced in S3 in 2014-2015 Students could have an earlier awareness which can
help them make a more informed choice for their study and career

3 Learning and Teaching 31 Learning Experiences
Our students have been with pride and perseverance putting the call of the School Mission into their daily learning as they always tend to lsquothink
independentlyrsquo and lsquolearn proactivelyrsquo in their academic pursuit Taking such approaches in learning both in and outside the classroom students find that they could make the most out of their various learning experiences as they striving for the best academic performance
Through their daily learning in classroom students did not just acquire knowledge subject-wise while developing their various generic skills they
could also learn to treasure important universal values when they came across the core elements in value education including moral civic and environmental education which had been immerged with the different subjects they studied These invaluable learning experiences could help students establish correct and positive attitudes towards life which is very useful for them to live and enrich their everyday life and to foster their whole person development
Students became very effective learners in and outside the classroom with the help of information technology When in classrooms students
were highly engaged in each lesson with teachers making the frequent use of various information technology devices like the computing system the electronic whiteboard the Simultaneous Response System and the overhead projector as well as different audio-visual aids to enrich their learning experiences Students could also make use of various e-learning provisions in school to conduct their own self-directed learning outside the classroom In recent years students could study with the e-learning packages uploaded to the eClass platform by their subject teachers and conduct their private study with the help of the computer in the Computer Room Since last Easter students could also use ipads for their self-directed study in the newly-established E-Learning Centre
Junior form studentsrsquo learning in classrooms was also much facilitated with some new ingredients inserted in their lessons For instance students
in S1 and S2 could learn with ipads in English lessons to accomplish their learning tasks and to share promptly and effectively their learning outcomes with classmates Junior form students attending Liberal Studies Integrated Science and Computer Literacy periods would also often find themselves learning lively and actively through ipads
Furthermore junior form students had also come across with a new learning experience in their Language across Curriculum lessons with
subjects like English Mathematics History Geography and Integrated Science Learning with the tailor-made cross-curricular materials which include innovative worksheets as well as interactive games and activities students found it marvelous as their study of the English language and the subject content of Mathematics Science and Humanities could reinforce each other
Drama education was introduced as a new element in the English learning of junior form students with the hope that this integration of the
lsquodramarsquo elements in the English periods would make the lessons more impressive and appealing to students while students could learn in a more creative and interactive way the listening writing reading and speaking skills in the learning of the language
Junior form students had also got used to making use of cooperative learning in class to help maximize their learning effectiveness and outcomes
especially in lessons of English Liberal Studies History and Geography For senior form students there was still a strong tendency for them to take less than three elective subjects in their NSS study In this school year
after their application for dropping elective subjects had been approved after the last Final Examination there are now 58 students in S5 and 92 students in S6 studying less than three elective subjects Meanwhile there are already 11 students in S4 studying only two elective subjects many were S4 repeaters who could only take two elective subjects for their study Moreover there are only 7 students (out of 37) still studied M1 in S6 while a total of 18 (out of 36) had withdrawn their study of M2
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014
- 22 -
With the growing dropping rate of M1 and M2 in S5 and S6 there would only be a class of students admitted to S4 this year given the opportunity to study the Mathematics extensions but this study would only take place after they have been promoted to S5 In the meantime those S6 and S5 students who had withdrawn their study of an elective subject had still to attend supplementary Chinese and English lessons two periods for each language per cycle in the first term or the second term respectively For other spare periods these students had to conduct their self-directed learning in the school library while class and subject teachers were well aware of giving them more and better support through guidance or providing them with more supplementary work or exercises Those students who had withdrawn from studying the Mathematics extension parts had to attend supplementary Mathematics (Core) lessons to concentrate on improving their performance in the subject
Senior form students could also have other learning experiences within their normal lessons like Religious Education lessons for Moral amp Civic
Education PE lessons for Physical Development Career Education lessons in S4 for Career-Related Experiences as well as Aesthetic Development lessons For Career Education though it was not included as normal lessons in S5 and S6 it had still been implemented for the students as immersed programmes conducted in class teachersrsquo periods or assembly time for S5 and S6
Besides learning through the formal curriculum in classrooms students also learned without boundaries outside the classroom They took part
actively in the Cross-curricular Learning Day learning across subject boundaries in the form of thematic study like lsquoThe Changing Face of Centralrsquo (S1) lsquoWhatrsquos on the Menursquo (S2) lsquoField Study in Kingrsquos Parkrsquo (S3) lsquoLearning Positive Traits from Famous Peoplersquo (S4) and lsquoWorking Realityrsquo (S5) Moreover students enjoyed something like a knowledge carnival in the re-organized Inter-House General Quiz when both the House teams and the House members as audience were asked of questions from all the subjects they studied
Students also learned in a lively and creative way and gained significantly when they participated in some exchange or interflow activities or
attended the various enrichment or enhancement courses organized by the school or when they acquired other learning experiences outside the classroom
Students were given the opportunities to learn in other schools when they joined in some student interflow schemes like the Local Student
Exchange Scheme co-organized with Hong Kong True Light Middle School on April 1-3 2014 as well as with Queen Elizabeth School on April 9-10 2014 Students had also twice the time to have interflows with students from Guangzhou True Light Middle School on November 6-7 2013 and April 30 2014 Students who had become buddies of the student visitors from other schools could have especially gone through some brand new and unforgettable learning experiences
The Capacity Enhancement Grant (CEG) and the Diversity Learning (DLG) were well made use of to provide students with extra support to
further enrich their knowledge to enhance better their learning capacity and develop deeper their interests and skills Through CEG there were Enrichment Courses for S1-S3 Gifted Students in Mathematics an Interactive Drama Performance Course for S2 students Drama Courses to enhance S4 and S5 students in their English Learning Chinese Debating Courses for S2 to S4 students Physics Courses on lsquoArchitecture amp Mechanicsrsquo and lsquoElectromagnetismrsquo biotechnology experiments for Biology students in senior forms a Beginner Digital Photography Course and Student TV Training Course Through DLG there included a Learning English through Debating Extension Course a Learning English through Social Issues and Pop Culture Extension Course workshops on Chinese writing and composition Biology courses on lsquoForensic Sciencersquo and lsquoBiotechnology Experimentsrsquo and Mathematics and Liberal Studies enhancement courses for NSS students
Studentsrsquo knowledge horizons were also broadened when they participated in a variety of extra-curricular or co-curricular activities like visits
field trips and study tours abroad like to Singapore in January 2014 on Environmental Historical Cultural and English studies to mainland China (Beijing) for Cultural Studies and to Taiwan on Music Interfow Different subject panels had also worked through their respective academic societies to provide various innovative life-wide learning activities to arouse studentsrsquo interests and to enhance their ability in learning the disciplines Talks of academics or scholars had also been organized to help arouse studentsrsquo social consciousness and academic concerns

32 Teaching Strategies Our teachers had been incessantly acquiring and attempting to put into practice different kinds of teaching strategies to cater for the various
learning needs of our students in order to help them achieve the best learning outcomes Teachers always took up the role of facilitators in classrooms focusing at constructing an interactive classroom in order to arouse studentsrsquo learning motivation and help encourage their proactive learning Students were provided with various stimuli to help their learning like providing them with different scenarios to inspire them to explore every possible method to solve problems asking them graded and high order thinking questions to enhance their creativity and critical thinking skills and giving them carefully designed differentiated and challenging tasks to enrich their useful and meaningful learning opportunities in classrooms Teachers also provided timely and constructive feedbacks and compliments to students as recognition and reinforcement of their learning outcomes
Teachers also tended to have frequent applications of various information technology techniques and devices like the computing systems
visualizers ipads as well as the electronic whiteboards with the simultaneous response system to help reinforce their teaching strategies in creating a more interactive and effective learning environment to make learning and teaching more effective Teachers had been looking into the possibility of making a wider use of e-learning strategies like providing students with e-learning packages and resources through the eClass platform introducing e-textbooks to students and subscribing for them i-books for self-directed learning The first task had been taken for a few years while the other two tasks were still put under study
To improve the teaching strategies on catering for learning diversities our school had joined with other schools in the Learning Circle of Catering
for Learning Diversities organized by EDB to keep an interflow of related ideas and strategies with other schools The school had also participated in the research on ldquoHong Kong In-service Teachersrsquo Self-efficacy and Readiness for Differentiated Instruction for Diverse Learnersrsquo organized by the Faculty of Education of The Chinese University of Hong Kong in order to have a better understanding on the preparedness and readiness of our teachers at catering for learning diversities
Our teachers had also engaged themselves in an active sharing of teaching strategies as they contributed proactively their articles to the
publication of a Collection of Teaching Recollections of Teachers of True Light Girlsrsquo College called lsquoTrue Light Sharingrsquo in the last school year As seen from the four sections in the book teachers of different subjects shared with their colleagues and teachers of other schools their teaching plans lesson tips glowing new ideas in teaching as well as some teaching reflections
Teachers had been actively making use of the Collaborative Teaching Scheme and the Common Free Periods to work together and to learn from
each other for the purpose of refining and further developing their teaching strategies Through the Collaborative Teaching Scheme teachers teaching the same subjects or within the same KLA worked in teams each consisting of two or three teachers to work out and implement together some teaching plans with peer lesson observation and evaluation Specific attention was paid to develop teaching strategies for cross-curricular and cooperative learning while the scheming of student-oriented lessons to enhance active student involvement and learning autonomy was also emphasized with concerns for provoking high-order thinking and catering for learning diversities Common free periods were arranged when setting the timetables for teachers of English Chinese Mathematics and NSS Liberal Studies at each level to enhance their professional teaching collaboration in their lesson preparation and implementation Other subject teachers had mostly taken their own initiative to arrange for themselves the same practice for their professional sharing and development
To further enhance the effectiveness of our teaching strategies in order to bring about satisfactory learning outcomes of students it is still
necessary for our teachers to acquire improve and implement the teaching strategies concerning catering for learning diversities of high achievers low achievers as well as students with special education needs Steps have also to be taken to tailor-make the curriculum of different subjects for meaningful cross-curricular learning Cooperative learning should still be widely practiced not just in junior forms and for only some subjects More importantly teachers should acquire more knowledge and skills in fostering studentsrsquo self-directed learning which includes the use of teaching strategies to facilitate the e-learning and mobile learning of students
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014

33 Assessment Studentsrsquo academic performance and learning outcomes had been continuously assessed by different modes of homework assignments quizzes
term tests and examinations Assessment for learning was greatly emphasized when giving students homework assignments to help consolidate their subject knowledge and
what they had learned in classroom Assignments which included various kinds like workbooks worksheets essay writing surveys projects case studies reports book reviews and newspaper cuttings etc were duly designed with diversified tasks and questions of varied difficulties Improvement could still be made in designing assignments to cater better for studentsrsquo diversified learning needs to adopt wider modes of assessment like self peer and parent assessments and to help students to conduct their self-directed study
To help students to put great emphasis on doing well their homework in order to consolidate their learning outcomes the Homework Submission
Scheme was adopted and implemented in these recent years to make students do and submit their homework assignments properly Together with the homework policies of different subject panels which often included mark deduction for late submission of assignments students had become more punctual and orderly in their homework submission To further encourage students to do well their homework assignments in order to achieve satisfactory learning outcomes the Most Outstanding Homework Performance Award Scheme was still carried out and a total of 44 and 52 students were awarded in the first term and the second term respectively
To have a better supervision from the school management and the subject panel heads on homework assignments to students including the
content and marking of the assignments the assignment inspection policy was carried out which required the subject panel heads to supervise the panel members over their making use of homework assignments in achieving their teaching objectives Panel heads could make use of the standard record forms of assignment inspection to see into the quality and the quantity of the assignments given by teachers and to evaluate the marking of the teachers and the ways they gave the comments and feedbacks The subject panel heads also had to submit their studentsrsquo assignments to the school management for the same kind of inspection
Besides assessment assignments studentsrsquo annual academic performance in school was formally assessed through tests and examinations
which made up the term marks and the examination marks of studentsrsquo annual scores respectively There were two examinations for each level of students every year For tests there were at least two assessments (testassignmentproject) for each subject within each term For junior forms there should be at least one test in the first term and preferably two tests in the second term while for senior forms the two assessments each term should be tests
The New Senior Secondary Curriculum provided teachers with great challenges in different aspects including assessment Teachers had been
especially careful to be accurate in using the standard referencing system to assess students on the levels they attained in different assessments and different subjects Two attempts were still made in the last school year to help teachers to conduct their level marking more confidently The first was to keep joining the HKDSE Mock Examination Papers Exchange Scheme organized by the Association of Principals of Secondary Schools of the Hong Kong Council of the Church of Christ in China Subject teachers who had joined the Scheme found it very helpful to conduct level marking by taking the marking criteria set by other schools as reference and examples The other attempt was to predict for students their levels of attainment in different subjects after the S6 Mid-year Examination and students were given their predicted grades on S6 Parentsrsquo Day as a way to help the students as well as their parents to prepare better for the Mock Examination and HKDSE The school joined for the second time the Pilot Study on Predicted Levels of 2014 Core Subjects (CEML) conducted by the Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority to study on the reliability of our prediction of
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014
- 25 -
studentsrsquo CEML subjects to evaluate teachersrsquo accuracy in level marking while reliable predicted grades will be useful for managing the expectation of students and their parents The School Report of the pilot study showed that there was a satisfactorily high correlation between the predicted grades awarded by our teachers to students and the actual level attained by students in 2014 HKDSE showing that teachers had a good understanding and knowledge on standard referencing and their level marking performance was very reliable
To match much better the level attainment system adopted by the New Senior Secondary Curriculum with the traditional marking system which
was revealed in studentsrsquo Academic Reports it was decided that the passing mark in senior form subjects would be changed from 50 to 40 of the total mark Such a change could also better reflect the possible level attainment obtained by students in HKDSE
Teachers were also very cautious in taking sophisticated procedures in conducting the School-based Assessment in the New Senior Secondary
Curriculum Students were assessed on the same tasks and with the same assessment criteria To achieve this students were given common SBA tasks across classes and the same standard of assessment The same criteria for awarding marks to all students were applied and in doing so consultation among teachers to align the marking criteria was often conducted and trial marking of samples of studentsrsquo work was constantly carried out Marks given were adjusted whenever necessary to ensure consistence of assessment standard Reference materials and archive materials were used to help standardizing marking Proper and sufficient guidance and supervision was provided to students to ensure the quality and authenticity of their work There was feedback and advice on improvement to students after the completion of marking to provide them with a fruitful learning experience

212 Reflection
The traditional and invaluable spirit of sisterhood had been well nurtured and more established in the past school year with some further strengthening of the sister-forms system the continuing growth of mutual care and cooperation between sister-forms and the strengthening of bonds between students and the alumnae
Based on our existing persisting effort in nurturing sisterhood among students and even between our students and alumnae more and different attempts should still have to make to foster sisterhood among students of the same class the same form the same House within the whole school and even with the other True Light Schools in Hong Kong and Guangzhou Such endeavours could be made through the established mechanisms like the class associations the form associations the four Houses and the Student Union within our school while new initiatives should be sought for strengthening sisterhood among the True Light Schools
Sisterhood within our own school could still be further enhanced with various kinds of games activities and competitions organized at inter-class inter-form and inter-House levels including those very popular established practices like the Interclass Rope Skipping Competition the Interclass Tug-of-war Competition the Athletic Meet and the Swimming Gala It could be very useful and meaningful if more different kinds of inter-class inter-form or inter-House activities would be held like choral speaking debates ball games quizzes and drama festival It was good to have the revived attempts like re-organizing the Inter-House General Quiz and for each House to re-hold its own House Annual General Meeting to raise sisterhood in the House levels There are still more things the Houses could do like re-holding Orientation Gathering for S1 House members to foster sisterhood through the enhancement of the House spirit The Student Union may attempt to organize certain events like the Student Festival to enhance the school spirit of all students
Sisterhood could still be much enhanced through the sister-forms system especially for the sister classes of S2 and S5 More opportunities like sharing games competitions etc should still have to be created for students of the sister classes to have much closer encounters communication and cooperation
There had been certain attempts which could help nurturing sisterhood among the True Light Schools like holding student interflows co-organizing overseas study tours and drama workshops attending each otherrsquos school anniversary thanksgiving services and visiting our Alma Mater in Guangzhou Based on these good practices more attempts in the studentsrsquo level could still be tried out like re-holding the Joint True Light Schools Athletic Meet and organizing joint activities or competitions like debates quizzes and even a drama fest Such sisterhood within the True Light schools could facilitate our working together with greater collective efforts to reinforce the True Light legacies and to demonstrate them to the community
Satisfactory work had been done to facilitate students to learn more about the True Light history values and traditions in order to uphold and sustain the True Light legacies in students More creative and meaningful ways could still be attempted to motivate students to have genuine interests to know more about everything concerning True Light Taking True Light history spirit culture traditions and legacies as the main theme students could be asked to do researches or projects on the issue while even different kinds of competitions games days or carnivals could be held for the purpose
The religious atmosphere in the school had been greatly fostered all through the year with morning prayers religious practices in assemblies Student Fellowship activities and most importantly studentsrsquo religious education in classrooms It could still be further enhanced if students would be led to live with religious beliefs and values in their daily life encountering issues of personal and current affairs with the religious faith and perspectives
Students had been much facilitated to serve the society with training programmes to equip them with the necessary skills and knowledge with voluntary work for them to serve the needed and with commendation on their accomplishments in performing voluntary and community services It is our present practice to have different student bodies in school to organize voluntary services as a part of the annual programmes to provide students with the opportunities to serve the community It would be even more constructive if a Social Service Society could be newly formed to act as an individual student body focusing purely on doing different kinds of social and voluntary services It would be even more fruitful and helpful if students could take both a whole person development approach and a deep concern for our community when they contribute themselves in doing voluntary and community services Students should take their contribution to society as indispensable for their personal growth which should include not just doing community services but also their love care and concern for the development of the community

22 Learning Effectiveness Enhancement 221 Achievements
Major and further steps were taken earnestly by the school to carry on with the realization of the four foci emphasized in the 5-year School Development Plan (2012 ndash 2017) including well-developing studentsrsquo self-direct learning practices well-catering for studentsrsquo learning diversities broadening studentsrsquo learning horizons with cross-curricular learning and enhancing studentsrsquo learning in classroom with cooperative learning The following accomplishments were made with the strenuous and persistent collaborative effort contributed by the whole teaching staff
On developing well studentsrsquo self-direct learning practices students were helped in acquiring and developing self-direct learning skills and habits with the implementation of the e-Learning Pilot
Scheme and the making use of the eClass platform students in S1 and S2 were provided with plenty opportunities in the English lessons to familiarize themselves with the use of ipads
to help develop well their self-direct learning abilities and they found their learning of the English language had become doubly effective as the use of ipads could help them achieve their learning tasks and share their learning outcomes promptly and effectively
students were trained in their junior form study to well equip themselves in the use of ipads for self-direct learning as they were taught and drilled in their S1 to S3 Computer Literacy lessons on the basic use of ipads and process apps in order to cultivate their skills habits and confidence in making use of ipads for their self-direct learning
many Liberal Studies Geography and Science teachers had also made a very wide use of ipads in and outside the classrooms to enhance further studentsrsquo capabilities in using ipads for school learning as well as self-direct learning
studentsrsquo use of ipads in school had been much enhanced by the e-Learning Pilot Scheme which helped provide the WiFi network while the school showed its strong support through providing the additional ipads and process apps
students had also made good use of the eClass platform for their self-direct learning as they did their private study with the many self-direct learning packages prepared and uploaded by teachers of different subjects
students could conduct their self-explorative learning more effectively and conveniently in the newly established E-Learning Centre plans and steps to convert the MMLC into a self-access E-Learning Centre were taken since the start of the last academic year with
the major conversion works taken and completed during the Easter Holiday with school funding the newly established E-Learning Centre was installed with a full coverage of high speed WiFi access a
suitable number of 42 ipads and related furniture the E-Learning Centre started to open to students for their self-direct learning with the use of ipads after the Easter Holiday
students took the multi-functional Student TV as a self-direct learning platform and engaged themselves in it as effective learners by either producing or viewing the Student TV programme the True Light Student TV studio was established with a well-trained production team of students responsible for running different
channels under the supervision of a Supervisory Committee of teacher advisors programmes were produced and broadcast according to schedules for students for school news information and knowledge
building and the viewers mostly found the programmes satisfactory for their self-direct learning reading to learn was persistently promoted to facilitate studentsrsquo self-direct learning
prescribed reading booklists for students were duly prepared by different subject panels for each level and uploaded to either the subject web pages or the school library website and students generally found the prescribed reading could facilitate their self-direct learning
suitable i-books had been sought throughout the year and their subscription could only be made when there would be satisfactory i-books with reasonable costs offered in the market

On catering well for studentsrsquo learning diversities teachers had kept on adopting suitable teaching strategies to make classroom learning effective for students of different learning
abilities like arousing studentsrsquo learning motivation strengthening studentsrsquo language abilities providing students with various kinds of
exposure and it was a common practice for teachers to make use of graded questions and differentiated tasks to better match studentsrsquo abilities
preparing the high achievers for higher achievement by giving them more challenging tasks and learning activities during the lessons to provoke their high-order thinking setting bonus questions or worksheets and designing for them more demanding homework assignments
different learning programmes were provided for high achievers and weaker students like offering off-site courses in Chinese English Mathematics Liberal Studies Physics and Biology for NSS high-achieving students to
further enhance their learning abilities in these subjects arranging after-school tutorial classes for those junior form students who were weak in the main subjects
preparatory measures were attempted to tailor-make the school policies on catering for studentsrsquo learning diversities like joining the Learning Circle of Catering for Learning Diversities organized by EDB to keep interflow of ideas with other schools participating in the research on ldquoHong Kong In-service Teachersrsquo Self-efficacy and Readiness for Differentiated Instruction for
Diverse Learnersrsquo organized by the Faculty of Education of The Chinese University of Hong Kong to have a better understanding on the preparedness and readiness of our teachers at catering for learning diversities
taking the initiative within members of the Academic Standing Committee to prepare the school much better in catering for learning diversities like taking steps to further review the school policies and strategies on the issue to conduct a further study on studentsrsquo learning diversities and to coordinate the teaching strategies adopted by different subjects to cater for learning diversities
On broadening studentsrsquo learning horizons with cross-curricular learning the Language Across Curriculum project was implemented promoting cross-curricular learning with English as the teaching medium
a cross-panel Language Across Curriculum Coordinating Team was set up comprising of a Vice-principal four English teachers one Mathematics teachers and one Integrated Science teacher
with the advice and guidance of a hired consultant teachers of the LAC team had worked out and developed a total of 24 cross-curricular learning and teaching packages on English Mathematics and Integrated Science for the junior form students including worksheets on both language and content items as well as interactive activities and games to be used in lessons
these learning and teaching materials would be fully utilized in the new school year while they would also serve as examples for other EMI subjects to develop cross-curricular learning materials with English
the 24 LAC teaching and learning packages with interactive learning activities and graded exercises on English History and Geography were successfully put into practice in the junior form lessons
the annual Cross-curricular Learning Day activities were carried successfully on 21st February providing students with task-oriented learning opportunities to learn more effectively and creatively without subject boundaries like
lsquoThe Changing Face of Centralrsquo (S1) lsquoWhatrsquos on the Menursquo (S2) lsquoField Study in Kingrsquos Parkrsquo (S3) lsquoLearning Positive Traits from Famous Peoplersquo (S4) and lsquoWorking Realityrsquo (S5)
studentsrsquo language proficiency had been greatly enhanced as students had to accomplish tasks like writing and orally presenting reports in their Cross-curricular Learning Day activities
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014
- 16 -
initial steps to develop tailor-made curricula to promote cross-curricular learning were taken as subject panels especially those within the same key learning areas were encouraged to identify suitable cross-curricular topics
across subjects some teachers especially those within the same key learning areas were encouraged to include cross-curricular elements in their
collaborative teaching plans On enhancing studentsrsquo learning in classroom with cooperative learning many teachers had participated quite actively in many professional development activities concerning cooperative learning including
peer lesson observation experience sharing on the practice of the related teaching strategies
many teachers had included cooperative elements in their lessons like including cooperative learning elements in their collaborative teaching plans practicing cooperative learning more in junior form lessons
students were equipped with cooperative learning skills in junior forms Liberal Studies lessons with high demands of interactive learning and creativity were taken as the most appropriate platform for
students to start acquiring and practicing cooperative learning skills in junior forms cooperative learning was also quite frequently applied in S1-S3 classrooms especially by teachers of subjects like English History
Integrated Science and Geography
222 Reflection Studentsrsquo self-directed learning practices had developed quite satisfactorily in the past school year through the wide practice of
e-learning the making good use of the Student TV and the insistence on reading to learn but there is still plenty room for improvement Both teachers and students should have some better understanding of the real benefits and strategies of self-directed learning for
enhancing learning effectiveness There should be more professional development on self-directed learning for teachers including both the philosophies and teaching strategies Teachers should engage students meaningfully and effectively in their self-directed learning to compensate for the lack of sufficient time for students to learn just in the classroom Students on the other hand should still have to develop the habit of self-directed learning so that they could learn more widely and freely beyond the constraints of classroom learning
To develop e-learning for effective self-directed learning it is very necessary to have the sufficient provision of both the hardware and software For hardware more ipads should be provided for students for the convenience of their mobile learning and classroom sharing and plans should be taken to cover the whole school campus with WiFi access Both teachers and students should be encouraged to use the newly established E-Learning Centre for lessons or self-directed learning As for software teachers should be given more room and support to enable them to prepare more e-learning lessons and teaching packages as well as self-access learning materials or packages for studentsrsquo self-directed learning More suitable apps for educational and instructional purposes should have been purchased
The Student TV should still be much better developed as an effective platform for studentsrsquo self-directed learning To produce better programmes both in quantity and quality for self-directed learning more and more students should be trained and supported to become more active in producing and broadcasting self-direct learning programmes for students More broadcasting time should be given while it will be more useful if students could have more and easier accesses to programmes produced by the Student TV

To promote self-directed learning through reading a more enriched reading atmosphere in school should still be enhanced Students should be much encouraged to make good use of the prescribed reading lists for their self-directed academic pursuit by asking them to provide diffused information acquired from prescribed readings to accomplish their assignments or by giving them bonus term marks Persistent efforts in finding and subscribing suitable ibooks for students should still be attempted to facilitate studentsrsquo self-direct learning
The increasing needs in catering for studentsrsquo learning diversities require both the school and the teachers to take more appropriate actions teachers should further develop a better awareness of the importance of catering for learner differences as both effective and
indispensable in helping all students not just the low achievers they should be encouraged to participate actively in learning circles of teachers of the same or other schools to develop suitable and effective strategies to be applied in classrooms for the purpose
the school should take steps to look into the real situation of learning diversities of our students and to work out school-based policies and development programmes to equip the school and the teachers with the necessary knowledge and strategies to enhance studentsrsquo learning through catering for their learning diversities
both the teachers and school should also prepare themselves to provide help and support to those students with special education needs who have been growing in number in recent years
Based on the contemporary success in making use of cross-curricular learning to enhance studentsrsquo learning effectiveness some better measures could still be taken to enrich and improve the Cross Curricular Learning Day activities to refine the attempts at developing and implementing the Language Across Curriculum and to working out a practical school-based curriculum for cross-curricular learning the Cross-curricular Learning Day in providing students with task-oriented or theme-based leaning opportunities should also
integrate other ingredients to develop students as effective learners like learning outside the classroom and enhancing their skills in e-learning mobile learning as well as self-directed learning
cross-curricular learning through Language Across Curriculum should include not just English with History Geography Mathematics and Integrated Science but also with all other EMI academic subjects so that both the language and the academic subjects could reinforce one another in studentsrsquo learning and there should be better coordination to facilitate teachersrsquo cooperation and to incorporate well the LAC lessons into the teaching schedules of the subjects concerned
subject panels should be much encouraged and supported to review their curricula to identify suitable topics and themes for cross-curricular learning in order to work out the school-based tailor-made cross-curricular learning curricula
Cooperative learning should still be further enforced especially in junior forms in order to familiarize students in the earliest stage of the secondary school study with the unique learning skills and styles and teachers should still be much encouraged and facilitated to widely practice cooperative learning by providing them with the necessary materials needed for cooperative learning requiring them to work with each other in collaborative teaching to work out and implement the teaching plans with cooperative learning elements and asking them to start with the junior forms to try out the strategies for cooperative learning

23 Gifted Education Development
231 Achievements With sufficient preparatory work in the previous year this academic year saw the progressive development of gifted education in True Light Girls College With concerted efforts of the Committee members new initiatives were raised and relevant issues and concerns were explored On the administrative level The Gifted Education Committee was officially formed The committee set up gifted education policy and implemented certain projects in
the year Aiming to identify students gifted in different domains and provide suitable learning opportunities for them talent pools in S2 and S3 were
set up focusing on performance of eight domains namely Chinese English Mathematics Science Music Physical Education Art and Leadership In each domain of each form 16 students were selected as gifted by respective subject teachers or class teachers The talent pools were made accessible for all teachers so that all of them could identify gifted students in certain domains when necessary
Towards the end of the academic year talent pools were updated for the new academic year A system was developed for managing the ongoing pull-out programmes The system categorized the running programmes concerned
on subject-based criteria On students level In this year the nomination process of students to join off-site enrichment and extension programmes provided by Gifted Education
Section of EDB the Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education local tertiary institutions and universities was carried out smoothly A leadership training programme was successfully organized in August 2014 for potential student leaders All S4 students were assigned to join The Hong Kong Award for Young People (AYP) which is a scheme promoting all-round
development and exploring ones talent and potential One committee member teacher was assigned to each of the 4 classes to monitor students completion of the scheme
Two talks were held for students throughout the year One aimed at informing S4 students of the rationale and implementation of AYP Another one is for S2 and S3 students introducing the rationale of talent pool and how students should go all out to develop their talents
On teachers level Teachers were invited to contribute to the development of talent pool During the process they were introduced the definition of
giftedness and some selective criteria of gifted students
On parents level Mr Patrick Lam Associate Director of the Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education was invited to be the guest speaker of a seminar for
parents on Parents Day in February The talk introduced the ideas of giftedness and it received positive responses from the parents

232 Reflection
The goals set were achieved well in the previous academic year It is deemed that improvements on certain areas of the Committee could be made for future development of gifted education in breadth and depth All members of the group should have a basic and unanimous understanding as to how gifted education is defined and how its
development is implemented on the school level It is time for all members to receive further training provided by the Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education Core members of the group should receive more advanced training especially on the administrative level More meetings and informal exchanges should take place for achieving such an aim
With the development of the talent pool it should be introduced to all teaching staff thoroughly so that they are more aware of its existence and use
AYP is to be implemented in both S4 and S5 Last year the completion rate of the scheme was not satisfactory as teachers in charge found it difficult to monitor students progress frequently and regularly Next year AYP ambassadors will be assigned in all S4 and S5 classes It is hoped that they can facilitate the monitoring work as well as the promotional work of relevant activities
Gifted education in classroom is one of the concerns of the Committee A staff development programme regarding high-order thinking skills is to be held in next year helping teachers familiarize themselves with how such skills can be developed among students in classroom
24 Career Education Enrichment
241 Achievements This is the second year of the 5-year School Development Plan 2012-2017 This is a good opportunity for students teachers and parents to understand the importance of career education for the student development through organizing and participating in different programmes This year a wide variety of programmes were organized for all stakeholders to be equipped in career education These should be helpful for students to pursue their own goals with the support from their parents and teachers On enhancing professional development of teachers on career education a staff development programme on Implementation of Career Education in Secondary School was organized for all teachers on 6
January 2014 We invited Dr Ho Yuk Fan the Vice Chairperson of The Hong Kong Association of Careers Masters and Guidance Masters to share the latest information in Career Guidance The teachers were very positive to the programme
A workshop was particularly designed for Career Guidance teachers to understand more about the use of the Career Interest Inventory on 14 March 2014
In addition a professional exchange between Methodist College and us was held on 10 April 2014 Ways for effective implementation of the career guidance programmes at school were shared
The Career Guidance Committee attended a talk on how to use the CLP Grant on 27 February 2014

On equipping senior form students for their planning of future career Based on the student evaluation collected last year the S4 curriculum was modified so that more group discussion was introduced
Students could be more involved in the lessons To supplement the formal lessons lots of activities were arranged for S4 students These included Goal Setting Workshop Simulation
Game 踏步大未來生涯規劃工作坊 Mr Work (Simulation) visits to Chow Tai Fook Immigration Service Institute of Training amp
Development Centaline K11-Art Mall and Mock Court Trial Over 10 programmes were offered to both S5 and S6 students For S6 students there were JUPAS Choice Workshop JUPAS sharing
night Mock DSE Result Release Workshop Career talk on CUSCS and VTC For S5 students there were Goal Setting Workshop Mr

On arousing the awareness of the importance of career planning in junior forms
Programmes were designed for all junior form levels For S3 there were money management workshop Subject Choice Workshop 財
智 GOAL飛 Workshop S2 was Career Planning Workshop There were also Career Quiz for S1 to S3 students
True Light Bonds was one of the most important programmes for S1 and S4 students designed by the Career Guidance Committee Both S1 and S4 students were given an opportunity to brainstorm their future career they would like to pursue
Japanese and Korean Culture Workshops visits to RTHK and Chinese Cuisine Training Institute were arranged to widen studentsrsquo exposures
On helping students set clear goals on future study and career The QEF project was completed on 30 April 2014 Programmes were arranged for students teachers and parents to enrich their
career knowledge and experiences Subject panels provided a wide variety of activities to inspire students for the pursuit of their further study and career opportunities such
as visiting RTHK attending a CEO talk from KCS and a public lecture on ldquoExplore the World of Medicinerdquo Some students found the participation in the OLE activities inspired them in setting up their own goals Reflections on goal set up for
study and career can be seen in S6 studentsrsquo Student Learning Profile and the OEA
242 Reflection The school has been promoting career education to the stakeholders at school Even though there were difficulties in the implementation phase it was a good start Some teachers may not fully understand the importance of career education to all students More professional development on career
guidance should be provided to teachers so that they will be better equipped for providing more comprehensive support to the students More CRE activities were organized but the teachers could better help the students to consolidate their learning and relate their
experiences to career planning so as to arouse studentsrsquo awareness to the importance of career planning For the Career Education Curriculum it would be introduced in S3 in 2014-2015 Students could have an earlier awareness which can
help them make a more informed choice for their study and career

3 Learning and Teaching 31 Learning Experiences
Our students have been with pride and perseverance putting the call of the School Mission into their daily learning as they always tend to lsquothink
independentlyrsquo and lsquolearn proactivelyrsquo in their academic pursuit Taking such approaches in learning both in and outside the classroom students find that they could make the most out of their various learning experiences as they striving for the best academic performance
Through their daily learning in classroom students did not just acquire knowledge subject-wise while developing their various generic skills they
could also learn to treasure important universal values when they came across the core elements in value education including moral civic and environmental education which had been immerged with the different subjects they studied These invaluable learning experiences could help students establish correct and positive attitudes towards life which is very useful for them to live and enrich their everyday life and to foster their whole person development
Students became very effective learners in and outside the classroom with the help of information technology When in classrooms students
were highly engaged in each lesson with teachers making the frequent use of various information technology devices like the computing system the electronic whiteboard the Simultaneous Response System and the overhead projector as well as different audio-visual aids to enrich their learning experiences Students could also make use of various e-learning provisions in school to conduct their own self-directed learning outside the classroom In recent years students could study with the e-learning packages uploaded to the eClass platform by their subject teachers and conduct their private study with the help of the computer in the Computer Room Since last Easter students could also use ipads for their self-directed study in the newly-established E-Learning Centre
Junior form studentsrsquo learning in classrooms was also much facilitated with some new ingredients inserted in their lessons For instance students
in S1 and S2 could learn with ipads in English lessons to accomplish their learning tasks and to share promptly and effectively their learning outcomes with classmates Junior form students attending Liberal Studies Integrated Science and Computer Literacy periods would also often find themselves learning lively and actively through ipads
Furthermore junior form students had also come across with a new learning experience in their Language across Curriculum lessons with
subjects like English Mathematics History Geography and Integrated Science Learning with the tailor-made cross-curricular materials which include innovative worksheets as well as interactive games and activities students found it marvelous as their study of the English language and the subject content of Mathematics Science and Humanities could reinforce each other
Drama education was introduced as a new element in the English learning of junior form students with the hope that this integration of the
lsquodramarsquo elements in the English periods would make the lessons more impressive and appealing to students while students could learn in a more creative and interactive way the listening writing reading and speaking skills in the learning of the language
Junior form students had also got used to making use of cooperative learning in class to help maximize their learning effectiveness and outcomes
especially in lessons of English Liberal Studies History and Geography For senior form students there was still a strong tendency for them to take less than three elective subjects in their NSS study In this school year
after their application for dropping elective subjects had been approved after the last Final Examination there are now 58 students in S5 and 92 students in S6 studying less than three elective subjects Meanwhile there are already 11 students in S4 studying only two elective subjects many were S4 repeaters who could only take two elective subjects for their study Moreover there are only 7 students (out of 37) still studied M1 in S6 while a total of 18 (out of 36) had withdrawn their study of M2
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014
- 22 -
With the growing dropping rate of M1 and M2 in S5 and S6 there would only be a class of students admitted to S4 this year given the opportunity to study the Mathematics extensions but this study would only take place after they have been promoted to S5 In the meantime those S6 and S5 students who had withdrawn their study of an elective subject had still to attend supplementary Chinese and English lessons two periods for each language per cycle in the first term or the second term respectively For other spare periods these students had to conduct their self-directed learning in the school library while class and subject teachers were well aware of giving them more and better support through guidance or providing them with more supplementary work or exercises Those students who had withdrawn from studying the Mathematics extension parts had to attend supplementary Mathematics (Core) lessons to concentrate on improving their performance in the subject
Senior form students could also have other learning experiences within their normal lessons like Religious Education lessons for Moral amp Civic
Education PE lessons for Physical Development Career Education lessons in S4 for Career-Related Experiences as well as Aesthetic Development lessons For Career Education though it was not included as normal lessons in S5 and S6 it had still been implemented for the students as immersed programmes conducted in class teachersrsquo periods or assembly time for S5 and S6
Besides learning through the formal curriculum in classrooms students also learned without boundaries outside the classroom They took part
actively in the Cross-curricular Learning Day learning across subject boundaries in the form of thematic study like lsquoThe Changing Face of Centralrsquo (S1) lsquoWhatrsquos on the Menursquo (S2) lsquoField Study in Kingrsquos Parkrsquo (S3) lsquoLearning Positive Traits from Famous Peoplersquo (S4) and lsquoWorking Realityrsquo (S5) Moreover students enjoyed something like a knowledge carnival in the re-organized Inter-House General Quiz when both the House teams and the House members as audience were asked of questions from all the subjects they studied
Students also learned in a lively and creative way and gained significantly when they participated in some exchange or interflow activities or
attended the various enrichment or enhancement courses organized by the school or when they acquired other learning experiences outside the classroom
Students were given the opportunities to learn in other schools when they joined in some student interflow schemes like the Local Student
Exchange Scheme co-organized with Hong Kong True Light Middle School on April 1-3 2014 as well as with Queen Elizabeth School on April 9-10 2014 Students had also twice the time to have interflows with students from Guangzhou True Light Middle School on November 6-7 2013 and April 30 2014 Students who had become buddies of the student visitors from other schools could have especially gone through some brand new and unforgettable learning experiences
The Capacity Enhancement Grant (CEG) and the Diversity Learning (DLG) were well made use of to provide students with extra support to
further enrich their knowledge to enhance better their learning capacity and develop deeper their interests and skills Through CEG there were Enrichment Courses for S1-S3 Gifted Students in Mathematics an Interactive Drama Performance Course for S2 students Drama Courses to enhance S4 and S5 students in their English Learning Chinese Debating Courses for S2 to S4 students Physics Courses on lsquoArchitecture amp Mechanicsrsquo and lsquoElectromagnetismrsquo biotechnology experiments for Biology students in senior forms a Beginner Digital Photography Course and Student TV Training Course Through DLG there included a Learning English through Debating Extension Course a Learning English through Social Issues and Pop Culture Extension Course workshops on Chinese writing and composition Biology courses on lsquoForensic Sciencersquo and lsquoBiotechnology Experimentsrsquo and Mathematics and Liberal Studies enhancement courses for NSS students
Studentsrsquo knowledge horizons were also broadened when they participated in a variety of extra-curricular or co-curricular activities like visits
field trips and study tours abroad like to Singapore in January 2014 on Environmental Historical Cultural and English studies to mainland China (Beijing) for Cultural Studies and to Taiwan on Music Interfow Different subject panels had also worked through their respective academic societies to provide various innovative life-wide learning activities to arouse studentsrsquo interests and to enhance their ability in learning the disciplines Talks of academics or scholars had also been organized to help arouse studentsrsquo social consciousness and academic concerns

32 Teaching Strategies Our teachers had been incessantly acquiring and attempting to put into practice different kinds of teaching strategies to cater for the various
learning needs of our students in order to help them achieve the best learning outcomes Teachers always took up the role of facilitators in classrooms focusing at constructing an interactive classroom in order to arouse studentsrsquo learning motivation and help encourage their proactive learning Students were provided with various stimuli to help their learning like providing them with different scenarios to inspire them to explore every possible method to solve problems asking them graded and high order thinking questions to enhance their creativity and critical thinking skills and giving them carefully designed differentiated and challenging tasks to enrich their useful and meaningful learning opportunities in classrooms Teachers also provided timely and constructive feedbacks and compliments to students as recognition and reinforcement of their learning outcomes
Teachers also tended to have frequent applications of various information technology techniques and devices like the computing systems
visualizers ipads as well as the electronic whiteboards with the simultaneous response system to help reinforce their teaching strategies in creating a more interactive and effective learning environment to make learning and teaching more effective Teachers had been looking into the possibility of making a wider use of e-learning strategies like providing students with e-learning packages and resources through the eClass platform introducing e-textbooks to students and subscribing for them i-books for self-directed learning The first task had been taken for a few years while the other two tasks were still put under study
To improve the teaching strategies on catering for learning diversities our school had joined with other schools in the Learning Circle of Catering
for Learning Diversities organized by EDB to keep an interflow of related ideas and strategies with other schools The school had also participated in the research on ldquoHong Kong In-service Teachersrsquo Self-efficacy and Readiness for Differentiated Instruction for Diverse Learnersrsquo organized by the Faculty of Education of The Chinese University of Hong Kong in order to have a better understanding on the preparedness and readiness of our teachers at catering for learning diversities
Our teachers had also engaged themselves in an active sharing of teaching strategies as they contributed proactively their articles to the
publication of a Collection of Teaching Recollections of Teachers of True Light Girlsrsquo College called lsquoTrue Light Sharingrsquo in the last school year As seen from the four sections in the book teachers of different subjects shared with their colleagues and teachers of other schools their teaching plans lesson tips glowing new ideas in teaching as well as some teaching reflections
Teachers had been actively making use of the Collaborative Teaching Scheme and the Common Free Periods to work together and to learn from
each other for the purpose of refining and further developing their teaching strategies Through the Collaborative Teaching Scheme teachers teaching the same subjects or within the same KLA worked in teams each consisting of two or three teachers to work out and implement together some teaching plans with peer lesson observation and evaluation Specific attention was paid to develop teaching strategies for cross-curricular and cooperative learning while the scheming of student-oriented lessons to enhance active student involvement and learning autonomy was also emphasized with concerns for provoking high-order thinking and catering for learning diversities Common free periods were arranged when setting the timetables for teachers of English Chinese Mathematics and NSS Liberal Studies at each level to enhance their professional teaching collaboration in their lesson preparation and implementation Other subject teachers had mostly taken their own initiative to arrange for themselves the same practice for their professional sharing and development
To further enhance the effectiveness of our teaching strategies in order to bring about satisfactory learning outcomes of students it is still
necessary for our teachers to acquire improve and implement the teaching strategies concerning catering for learning diversities of high achievers low achievers as well as students with special education needs Steps have also to be taken to tailor-make the curriculum of different subjects for meaningful cross-curricular learning Cooperative learning should still be widely practiced not just in junior forms and for only some subjects More importantly teachers should acquire more knowledge and skills in fostering studentsrsquo self-directed learning which includes the use of teaching strategies to facilitate the e-learning and mobile learning of students
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014

33 Assessment Studentsrsquo academic performance and learning outcomes had been continuously assessed by different modes of homework assignments quizzes
term tests and examinations Assessment for learning was greatly emphasized when giving students homework assignments to help consolidate their subject knowledge and
what they had learned in classroom Assignments which included various kinds like workbooks worksheets essay writing surveys projects case studies reports book reviews and newspaper cuttings etc were duly designed with diversified tasks and questions of varied difficulties Improvement could still be made in designing assignments to cater better for studentsrsquo diversified learning needs to adopt wider modes of assessment like self peer and parent assessments and to help students to conduct their self-directed study
To help students to put great emphasis on doing well their homework in order to consolidate their learning outcomes the Homework Submission
Scheme was adopted and implemented in these recent years to make students do and submit their homework assignments properly Together with the homework policies of different subject panels which often included mark deduction for late submission of assignments students had become more punctual and orderly in their homework submission To further encourage students to do well their homework assignments in order to achieve satisfactory learning outcomes the Most Outstanding Homework Performance Award Scheme was still carried out and a total of 44 and 52 students were awarded in the first term and the second term respectively
To have a better supervision from the school management and the subject panel heads on homework assignments to students including the
content and marking of the assignments the assignment inspection policy was carried out which required the subject panel heads to supervise the panel members over their making use of homework assignments in achieving their teaching objectives Panel heads could make use of the standard record forms of assignment inspection to see into the quality and the quantity of the assignments given by teachers and to evaluate the marking of the teachers and the ways they gave the comments and feedbacks The subject panel heads also had to submit their studentsrsquo assignments to the school management for the same kind of inspection
Besides assessment assignments studentsrsquo annual academic performance in school was formally assessed through tests and examinations
which made up the term marks and the examination marks of studentsrsquo annual scores respectively There were two examinations for each level of students every year For tests there were at least two assessments (testassignmentproject) for each subject within each term For junior forms there should be at least one test in the first term and preferably two tests in the second term while for senior forms the two assessments each term should be tests
The New Senior Secondary Curriculum provided teachers with great challenges in different aspects including assessment Teachers had been
especially careful to be accurate in using the standard referencing system to assess students on the levels they attained in different assessments and different subjects Two attempts were still made in the last school year to help teachers to conduct their level marking more confidently The first was to keep joining the HKDSE Mock Examination Papers Exchange Scheme organized by the Association of Principals of Secondary Schools of the Hong Kong Council of the Church of Christ in China Subject teachers who had joined the Scheme found it very helpful to conduct level marking by taking the marking criteria set by other schools as reference and examples The other attempt was to predict for students their levels of attainment in different subjects after the S6 Mid-year Examination and students were given their predicted grades on S6 Parentsrsquo Day as a way to help the students as well as their parents to prepare better for the Mock Examination and HKDSE The school joined for the second time the Pilot Study on Predicted Levels of 2014 Core Subjects (CEML) conducted by the Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority to study on the reliability of our prediction of
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014
- 25 -
studentsrsquo CEML subjects to evaluate teachersrsquo accuracy in level marking while reliable predicted grades will be useful for managing the expectation of students and their parents The School Report of the pilot study showed that there was a satisfactorily high correlation between the predicted grades awarded by our teachers to students and the actual level attained by students in 2014 HKDSE showing that teachers had a good understanding and knowledge on standard referencing and their level marking performance was very reliable
To match much better the level attainment system adopted by the New Senior Secondary Curriculum with the traditional marking system which
was revealed in studentsrsquo Academic Reports it was decided that the passing mark in senior form subjects would be changed from 50 to 40 of the total mark Such a change could also better reflect the possible level attainment obtained by students in HKDSE
Teachers were also very cautious in taking sophisticated procedures in conducting the School-based Assessment in the New Senior Secondary
Curriculum Students were assessed on the same tasks and with the same assessment criteria To achieve this students were given common SBA tasks across classes and the same standard of assessment The same criteria for awarding marks to all students were applied and in doing so consultation among teachers to align the marking criteria was often conducted and trial marking of samples of studentsrsquo work was constantly carried out Marks given were adjusted whenever necessary to ensure consistence of assessment standard Reference materials and archive materials were used to help standardizing marking Proper and sufficient guidance and supervision was provided to students to ensure the quality and authenticity of their work There was feedback and advice on improvement to students after the completion of marking to provide them with a fruitful learning experience

22 Learning Effectiveness Enhancement 221 Achievements
Major and further steps were taken earnestly by the school to carry on with the realization of the four foci emphasized in the 5-year School Development Plan (2012 ndash 2017) including well-developing studentsrsquo self-direct learning practices well-catering for studentsrsquo learning diversities broadening studentsrsquo learning horizons with cross-curricular learning and enhancing studentsrsquo learning in classroom with cooperative learning The following accomplishments were made with the strenuous and persistent collaborative effort contributed by the whole teaching staff
On developing well studentsrsquo self-direct learning practices students were helped in acquiring and developing self-direct learning skills and habits with the implementation of the e-Learning Pilot
Scheme and the making use of the eClass platform students in S1 and S2 were provided with plenty opportunities in the English lessons to familiarize themselves with the use of ipads
to help develop well their self-direct learning abilities and they found their learning of the English language had become doubly effective as the use of ipads could help them achieve their learning tasks and share their learning outcomes promptly and effectively
students were trained in their junior form study to well equip themselves in the use of ipads for self-direct learning as they were taught and drilled in their S1 to S3 Computer Literacy lessons on the basic use of ipads and process apps in order to cultivate their skills habits and confidence in making use of ipads for their self-direct learning
many Liberal Studies Geography and Science teachers had also made a very wide use of ipads in and outside the classrooms to enhance further studentsrsquo capabilities in using ipads for school learning as well as self-direct learning
studentsrsquo use of ipads in school had been much enhanced by the e-Learning Pilot Scheme which helped provide the WiFi network while the school showed its strong support through providing the additional ipads and process apps
students had also made good use of the eClass platform for their self-direct learning as they did their private study with the many self-direct learning packages prepared and uploaded by teachers of different subjects
students could conduct their self-explorative learning more effectively and conveniently in the newly established E-Learning Centre plans and steps to convert the MMLC into a self-access E-Learning Centre were taken since the start of the last academic year with
the major conversion works taken and completed during the Easter Holiday with school funding the newly established E-Learning Centre was installed with a full coverage of high speed WiFi access a
suitable number of 42 ipads and related furniture the E-Learning Centre started to open to students for their self-direct learning with the use of ipads after the Easter Holiday
students took the multi-functional Student TV as a self-direct learning platform and engaged themselves in it as effective learners by either producing or viewing the Student TV programme the True Light Student TV studio was established with a well-trained production team of students responsible for running different
channels under the supervision of a Supervisory Committee of teacher advisors programmes were produced and broadcast according to schedules for students for school news information and knowledge
building and the viewers mostly found the programmes satisfactory for their self-direct learning reading to learn was persistently promoted to facilitate studentsrsquo self-direct learning
prescribed reading booklists for students were duly prepared by different subject panels for each level and uploaded to either the subject web pages or the school library website and students generally found the prescribed reading could facilitate their self-direct learning
suitable i-books had been sought throughout the year and their subscription could only be made when there would be satisfactory i-books with reasonable costs offered in the market
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014

On catering well for studentsrsquo learning diversities teachers had kept on adopting suitable teaching strategies to make classroom learning effective for students of different learning
abilities like arousing studentsrsquo learning motivation strengthening studentsrsquo language abilities providing students with various kinds of
exposure and it was a common practice for teachers to make use of graded questions and differentiated tasks to better match studentsrsquo abilities
preparing the high achievers for higher achievement by giving them more challenging tasks and learning activities during the lessons to provoke their high-order thinking setting bonus questions or worksheets and designing for them more demanding homework assignments
different learning programmes were provided for high achievers and weaker students like offering off-site courses in Chinese English Mathematics Liberal Studies Physics and Biology for NSS high-achieving students to
further enhance their learning abilities in these subjects arranging after-school tutorial classes for those junior form students who were weak in the main subjects
preparatory measures were attempted to tailor-make the school policies on catering for studentsrsquo learning diversities like joining the Learning Circle of Catering for Learning Diversities organized by EDB to keep interflow of ideas with other schools participating in the research on ldquoHong Kong In-service Teachersrsquo Self-efficacy and Readiness for Differentiated Instruction for
Diverse Learnersrsquo organized by the Faculty of Education of The Chinese University of Hong Kong to have a better understanding on the preparedness and readiness of our teachers at catering for learning diversities
taking the initiative within members of the Academic Standing Committee to prepare the school much better in catering for learning diversities like taking steps to further review the school policies and strategies on the issue to conduct a further study on studentsrsquo learning diversities and to coordinate the teaching strategies adopted by different subjects to cater for learning diversities
On broadening studentsrsquo learning horizons with cross-curricular learning the Language Across Curriculum project was implemented promoting cross-curricular learning with English as the teaching medium
a cross-panel Language Across Curriculum Coordinating Team was set up comprising of a Vice-principal four English teachers one Mathematics teachers and one Integrated Science teacher
with the advice and guidance of a hired consultant teachers of the LAC team had worked out and developed a total of 24 cross-curricular learning and teaching packages on English Mathematics and Integrated Science for the junior form students including worksheets on both language and content items as well as interactive activities and games to be used in lessons
these learning and teaching materials would be fully utilized in the new school year while they would also serve as examples for other EMI subjects to develop cross-curricular learning materials with English
the 24 LAC teaching and learning packages with interactive learning activities and graded exercises on English History and Geography were successfully put into practice in the junior form lessons
the annual Cross-curricular Learning Day activities were carried successfully on 21st February providing students with task-oriented learning opportunities to learn more effectively and creatively without subject boundaries like
lsquoThe Changing Face of Centralrsquo (S1) lsquoWhatrsquos on the Menursquo (S2) lsquoField Study in Kingrsquos Parkrsquo (S3) lsquoLearning Positive Traits from Famous Peoplersquo (S4) and lsquoWorking Realityrsquo (S5)
studentsrsquo language proficiency had been greatly enhanced as students had to accomplish tasks like writing and orally presenting reports in their Cross-curricular Learning Day activities
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014
- 16 -
initial steps to develop tailor-made curricula to promote cross-curricular learning were taken as subject panels especially those within the same key learning areas were encouraged to identify suitable cross-curricular topics
across subjects some teachers especially those within the same key learning areas were encouraged to include cross-curricular elements in their
collaborative teaching plans On enhancing studentsrsquo learning in classroom with cooperative learning many teachers had participated quite actively in many professional development activities concerning cooperative learning including
peer lesson observation experience sharing on the practice of the related teaching strategies
many teachers had included cooperative elements in their lessons like including cooperative learning elements in their collaborative teaching plans practicing cooperative learning more in junior form lessons
students were equipped with cooperative learning skills in junior forms Liberal Studies lessons with high demands of interactive learning and creativity were taken as the most appropriate platform for
students to start acquiring and practicing cooperative learning skills in junior forms cooperative learning was also quite frequently applied in S1-S3 classrooms especially by teachers of subjects like English History
Integrated Science and Geography
222 Reflection Studentsrsquo self-directed learning practices had developed quite satisfactorily in the past school year through the wide practice of
e-learning the making good use of the Student TV and the insistence on reading to learn but there is still plenty room for improvement Both teachers and students should have some better understanding of the real benefits and strategies of self-directed learning for
enhancing learning effectiveness There should be more professional development on self-directed learning for teachers including both the philosophies and teaching strategies Teachers should engage students meaningfully and effectively in their self-directed learning to compensate for the lack of sufficient time for students to learn just in the classroom Students on the other hand should still have to develop the habit of self-directed learning so that they could learn more widely and freely beyond the constraints of classroom learning
To develop e-learning for effective self-directed learning it is very necessary to have the sufficient provision of both the hardware and software For hardware more ipads should be provided for students for the convenience of their mobile learning and classroom sharing and plans should be taken to cover the whole school campus with WiFi access Both teachers and students should be encouraged to use the newly established E-Learning Centre for lessons or self-directed learning As for software teachers should be given more room and support to enable them to prepare more e-learning lessons and teaching packages as well as self-access learning materials or packages for studentsrsquo self-directed learning More suitable apps for educational and instructional purposes should have been purchased
The Student TV should still be much better developed as an effective platform for studentsrsquo self-directed learning To produce better programmes both in quantity and quality for self-directed learning more and more students should be trained and supported to become more active in producing and broadcasting self-direct learning programmes for students More broadcasting time should be given while it will be more useful if students could have more and easier accesses to programmes produced by the Student TV

To promote self-directed learning through reading a more enriched reading atmosphere in school should still be enhanced Students should be much encouraged to make good use of the prescribed reading lists for their self-directed academic pursuit by asking them to provide diffused information acquired from prescribed readings to accomplish their assignments or by giving them bonus term marks Persistent efforts in finding and subscribing suitable ibooks for students should still be attempted to facilitate studentsrsquo self-direct learning
The increasing needs in catering for studentsrsquo learning diversities require both the school and the teachers to take more appropriate actions teachers should further develop a better awareness of the importance of catering for learner differences as both effective and
indispensable in helping all students not just the low achievers they should be encouraged to participate actively in learning circles of teachers of the same or other schools to develop suitable and effective strategies to be applied in classrooms for the purpose
the school should take steps to look into the real situation of learning diversities of our students and to work out school-based policies and development programmes to equip the school and the teachers with the necessary knowledge and strategies to enhance studentsrsquo learning through catering for their learning diversities
both the teachers and school should also prepare themselves to provide help and support to those students with special education needs who have been growing in number in recent years
Based on the contemporary success in making use of cross-curricular learning to enhance studentsrsquo learning effectiveness some better measures could still be taken to enrich and improve the Cross Curricular Learning Day activities to refine the attempts at developing and implementing the Language Across Curriculum and to working out a practical school-based curriculum for cross-curricular learning the Cross-curricular Learning Day in providing students with task-oriented or theme-based leaning opportunities should also
integrate other ingredients to develop students as effective learners like learning outside the classroom and enhancing their skills in e-learning mobile learning as well as self-directed learning
cross-curricular learning through Language Across Curriculum should include not just English with History Geography Mathematics and Integrated Science but also with all other EMI academic subjects so that both the language and the academic subjects could reinforce one another in studentsrsquo learning and there should be better coordination to facilitate teachersrsquo cooperation and to incorporate well the LAC lessons into the teaching schedules of the subjects concerned
subject panels should be much encouraged and supported to review their curricula to identify suitable topics and themes for cross-curricular learning in order to work out the school-based tailor-made cross-curricular learning curricula
Cooperative learning should still be further enforced especially in junior forms in order to familiarize students in the earliest stage of the secondary school study with the unique learning skills and styles and teachers should still be much encouraged and facilitated to widely practice cooperative learning by providing them with the necessary materials needed for cooperative learning requiring them to work with each other in collaborative teaching to work out and implement the teaching plans with cooperative learning elements and asking them to start with the junior forms to try out the strategies for cooperative learning

23 Gifted Education Development
231 Achievements With sufficient preparatory work in the previous year this academic year saw the progressive development of gifted education in True Light Girls College With concerted efforts of the Committee members new initiatives were raised and relevant issues and concerns were explored On the administrative level The Gifted Education Committee was officially formed The committee set up gifted education policy and implemented certain projects in
the year Aiming to identify students gifted in different domains and provide suitable learning opportunities for them talent pools in S2 and S3 were
set up focusing on performance of eight domains namely Chinese English Mathematics Science Music Physical Education Art and Leadership In each domain of each form 16 students were selected as gifted by respective subject teachers or class teachers The talent pools were made accessible for all teachers so that all of them could identify gifted students in certain domains when necessary
Towards the end of the academic year talent pools were updated for the new academic year A system was developed for managing the ongoing pull-out programmes The system categorized the running programmes concerned
on subject-based criteria On students level In this year the nomination process of students to join off-site enrichment and extension programmes provided by Gifted Education
Section of EDB the Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education local tertiary institutions and universities was carried out smoothly A leadership training programme was successfully organized in August 2014 for potential student leaders All S4 students were assigned to join The Hong Kong Award for Young People (AYP) which is a scheme promoting all-round
development and exploring ones talent and potential One committee member teacher was assigned to each of the 4 classes to monitor students completion of the scheme
Two talks were held for students throughout the year One aimed at informing S4 students of the rationale and implementation of AYP Another one is for S2 and S3 students introducing the rationale of talent pool and how students should go all out to develop their talents
On teachers level Teachers were invited to contribute to the development of talent pool During the process they were introduced the definition of
giftedness and some selective criteria of gifted students
On parents level Mr Patrick Lam Associate Director of the Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education was invited to be the guest speaker of a seminar for
parents on Parents Day in February The talk introduced the ideas of giftedness and it received positive responses from the parents

232 Reflection
The goals set were achieved well in the previous academic year It is deemed that improvements on certain areas of the Committee could be made for future development of gifted education in breadth and depth All members of the group should have a basic and unanimous understanding as to how gifted education is defined and how its
development is implemented on the school level It is time for all members to receive further training provided by the Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education Core members of the group should receive more advanced training especially on the administrative level More meetings and informal exchanges should take place for achieving such an aim
With the development of the talent pool it should be introduced to all teaching staff thoroughly so that they are more aware of its existence and use
AYP is to be implemented in both S4 and S5 Last year the completion rate of the scheme was not satisfactory as teachers in charge found it difficult to monitor students progress frequently and regularly Next year AYP ambassadors will be assigned in all S4 and S5 classes It is hoped that they can facilitate the monitoring work as well as the promotional work of relevant activities
Gifted education in classroom is one of the concerns of the Committee A staff development programme regarding high-order thinking skills is to be held in next year helping teachers familiarize themselves with how such skills can be developed among students in classroom
24 Career Education Enrichment
241 Achievements This is the second year of the 5-year School Development Plan 2012-2017 This is a good opportunity for students teachers and parents to understand the importance of career education for the student development through organizing and participating in different programmes This year a wide variety of programmes were organized for all stakeholders to be equipped in career education These should be helpful for students to pursue their own goals with the support from their parents and teachers On enhancing professional development of teachers on career education a staff development programme on Implementation of Career Education in Secondary School was organized for all teachers on 6

study and career can be seen in S6 studentsrsquo Student Learning Profile and the OEA
242 Reflection The school has been promoting career education to the stakeholders at school Even though there were difficulties in the implementation phase it was a good start Some teachers may not fully understand the importance of career education to all students More professional development on career
guidance should be provided to teachers so that they will be better equipped for providing more comprehensive support to the students More CRE activities were organized but the teachers could better help the students to consolidate their learning and relate their
experiences to career planning so as to arouse studentsrsquo awareness to the importance of career planning For the Career Education Curriculum it would be introduced in S3 in 2014-2015 Students could have an earlier awareness which can
help them make a more informed choice for their study and career

3 Learning and Teaching 31 Learning Experiences
Our students have been with pride and perseverance putting the call of the School Mission into their daily learning as they always tend to lsquothink
independentlyrsquo and lsquolearn proactivelyrsquo in their academic pursuit Taking such approaches in learning both in and outside the classroom students find that they could make the most out of their various learning experiences as they striving for the best academic performance
Through their daily learning in classroom students did not just acquire knowledge subject-wise while developing their various generic skills they
could also learn to treasure important universal values when they came across the core elements in value education including moral civic and environmental education which had been immerged with the different subjects they studied These invaluable learning experiences could help students establish correct and positive attitudes towards life which is very useful for them to live and enrich their everyday life and to foster their whole person development
Students became very effective learners in and outside the classroom with the help of information technology When in classrooms students
were highly engaged in each lesson with teachers making the frequent use of various information technology devices like the computing system the electronic whiteboard the Simultaneous Response System and the overhead projector as well as different audio-visual aids to enrich their learning experiences Students could also make use of various e-learning provisions in school to conduct their own self-directed learning outside the classroom In recent years students could study with the e-learning packages uploaded to the eClass platform by their subject teachers and conduct their private study with the help of the computer in the Computer Room Since last Easter students could also use ipads for their self-directed study in the newly-established E-Learning Centre
Junior form studentsrsquo learning in classrooms was also much facilitated with some new ingredients inserted in their lessons For instance students
in S1 and S2 could learn with ipads in English lessons to accomplish their learning tasks and to share promptly and effectively their learning outcomes with classmates Junior form students attending Liberal Studies Integrated Science and Computer Literacy periods would also often find themselves learning lively and actively through ipads
Furthermore junior form students had also come across with a new learning experience in their Language across Curriculum lessons with
subjects like English Mathematics History Geography and Integrated Science Learning with the tailor-made cross-curricular materials which include innovative worksheets as well as interactive games and activities students found it marvelous as their study of the English language and the subject content of Mathematics Science and Humanities could reinforce each other
Drama education was introduced as a new element in the English learning of junior form students with the hope that this integration of the
lsquodramarsquo elements in the English periods would make the lessons more impressive and appealing to students while students could learn in a more creative and interactive way the listening writing reading and speaking skills in the learning of the language
Junior form students had also got used to making use of cooperative learning in class to help maximize their learning effectiveness and outcomes
especially in lessons of English Liberal Studies History and Geography For senior form students there was still a strong tendency for them to take less than three elective subjects in their NSS study In this school year
after their application for dropping elective subjects had been approved after the last Final Examination there are now 58 students in S5 and 92 students in S6 studying less than three elective subjects Meanwhile there are already 11 students in S4 studying only two elective subjects many were S4 repeaters who could only take two elective subjects for their study Moreover there are only 7 students (out of 37) still studied M1 in S6 while a total of 18 (out of 36) had withdrawn their study of M2
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014
- 22 -
With the growing dropping rate of M1 and M2 in S5 and S6 there would only be a class of students admitted to S4 this year given the opportunity to study the Mathematics extensions but this study would only take place after they have been promoted to S5 In the meantime those S6 and S5 students who had withdrawn their study of an elective subject had still to attend supplementary Chinese and English lessons two periods for each language per cycle in the first term or the second term respectively For other spare periods these students had to conduct their self-directed learning in the school library while class and subject teachers were well aware of giving them more and better support through guidance or providing them with more supplementary work or exercises Those students who had withdrawn from studying the Mathematics extension parts had to attend supplementary Mathematics (Core) lessons to concentrate on improving their performance in the subject
Senior form students could also have other learning experiences within their normal lessons like Religious Education lessons for Moral amp Civic
Education PE lessons for Physical Development Career Education lessons in S4 for Career-Related Experiences as well as Aesthetic Development lessons For Career Education though it was not included as normal lessons in S5 and S6 it had still been implemented for the students as immersed programmes conducted in class teachersrsquo periods or assembly time for S5 and S6
Besides learning through the formal curriculum in classrooms students also learned without boundaries outside the classroom They took part
actively in the Cross-curricular Learning Day learning across subject boundaries in the form of thematic study like lsquoThe Changing Face of Centralrsquo (S1) lsquoWhatrsquos on the Menursquo (S2) lsquoField Study in Kingrsquos Parkrsquo (S3) lsquoLearning Positive Traits from Famous Peoplersquo (S4) and lsquoWorking Realityrsquo (S5) Moreover students enjoyed something like a knowledge carnival in the re-organized Inter-House General Quiz when both the House teams and the House members as audience were asked of questions from all the subjects they studied
Students also learned in a lively and creative way and gained significantly when they participated in some exchange or interflow activities or
attended the various enrichment or enhancement courses organized by the school or when they acquired other learning experiences outside the classroom
Students were given the opportunities to learn in other schools when they joined in some student interflow schemes like the Local Student
Exchange Scheme co-organized with Hong Kong True Light Middle School on April 1-3 2014 as well as with Queen Elizabeth School on April 9-10 2014 Students had also twice the time to have interflows with students from Guangzhou True Light Middle School on November 6-7 2013 and April 30 2014 Students who had become buddies of the student visitors from other schools could have especially gone through some brand new and unforgettable learning experiences
The Capacity Enhancement Grant (CEG) and the Diversity Learning (DLG) were well made use of to provide students with extra support to
further enrich their knowledge to enhance better their learning capacity and develop deeper their interests and skills Through CEG there were Enrichment Courses for S1-S3 Gifted Students in Mathematics an Interactive Drama Performance Course for S2 students Drama Courses to enhance S4 and S5 students in their English Learning Chinese Debating Courses for S2 to S4 students Physics Courses on lsquoArchitecture amp Mechanicsrsquo and lsquoElectromagnetismrsquo biotechnology experiments for Biology students in senior forms a Beginner Digital Photography Course and Student TV Training Course Through DLG there included a Learning English through Debating Extension Course a Learning English through Social Issues and Pop Culture Extension Course workshops on Chinese writing and composition Biology courses on lsquoForensic Sciencersquo and lsquoBiotechnology Experimentsrsquo and Mathematics and Liberal Studies enhancement courses for NSS students
Studentsrsquo knowledge horizons were also broadened when they participated in a variety of extra-curricular or co-curricular activities like visits
field trips and study tours abroad like to Singapore in January 2014 on Environmental Historical Cultural and English studies to mainland China (Beijing) for Cultural Studies and to Taiwan on Music Interfow Different subject panels had also worked through their respective academic societies to provide various innovative life-wide learning activities to arouse studentsrsquo interests and to enhance their ability in learning the disciplines Talks of academics or scholars had also been organized to help arouse studentsrsquo social consciousness and academic concerns

32 Teaching Strategies Our teachers had been incessantly acquiring and attempting to put into practice different kinds of teaching strategies to cater for the various
learning needs of our students in order to help them achieve the best learning outcomes Teachers always took up the role of facilitators in classrooms focusing at constructing an interactive classroom in order to arouse studentsrsquo learning motivation and help encourage their proactive learning Students were provided with various stimuli to help their learning like providing them with different scenarios to inspire them to explore every possible method to solve problems asking them graded and high order thinking questions to enhance their creativity and critical thinking skills and giving them carefully designed differentiated and challenging tasks to enrich their useful and meaningful learning opportunities in classrooms Teachers also provided timely and constructive feedbacks and compliments to students as recognition and reinforcement of their learning outcomes
Teachers also tended to have frequent applications of various information technology techniques and devices like the computing systems
visualizers ipads as well as the electronic whiteboards with the simultaneous response system to help reinforce their teaching strategies in creating a more interactive and effective learning environment to make learning and teaching more effective Teachers had been looking into the possibility of making a wider use of e-learning strategies like providing students with e-learning packages and resources through the eClass platform introducing e-textbooks to students and subscribing for them i-books for self-directed learning The first task had been taken for a few years while the other two tasks were still put under study
To improve the teaching strategies on catering for learning diversities our school had joined with other schools in the Learning Circle of Catering
for Learning Diversities organized by EDB to keep an interflow of related ideas and strategies with other schools The school had also participated in the research on ldquoHong Kong In-service Teachersrsquo Self-efficacy and Readiness for Differentiated Instruction for Diverse Learnersrsquo organized by the Faculty of Education of The Chinese University of Hong Kong in order to have a better understanding on the preparedness and readiness of our teachers at catering for learning diversities
Our teachers had also engaged themselves in an active sharing of teaching strategies as they contributed proactively their articles to the
publication of a Collection of Teaching Recollections of Teachers of True Light Girlsrsquo College called lsquoTrue Light Sharingrsquo in the last school year As seen from the four sections in the book teachers of different subjects shared with their colleagues and teachers of other schools their teaching plans lesson tips glowing new ideas in teaching as well as some teaching reflections
Teachers had been actively making use of the Collaborative Teaching Scheme and the Common Free Periods to work together and to learn from
each other for the purpose of refining and further developing their teaching strategies Through the Collaborative Teaching Scheme teachers teaching the same subjects or within the same KLA worked in teams each consisting of two or three teachers to work out and implement together some teaching plans with peer lesson observation and evaluation Specific attention was paid to develop teaching strategies for cross-curricular and cooperative learning while the scheming of student-oriented lessons to enhance active student involvement and learning autonomy was also emphasized with concerns for provoking high-order thinking and catering for learning diversities Common free periods were arranged when setting the timetables for teachers of English Chinese Mathematics and NSS Liberal Studies at each level to enhance their professional teaching collaboration in their lesson preparation and implementation Other subject teachers had mostly taken their own initiative to arrange for themselves the same practice for their professional sharing and development
To further enhance the effectiveness of our teaching strategies in order to bring about satisfactory learning outcomes of students it is still
necessary for our teachers to acquire improve and implement the teaching strategies concerning catering for learning diversities of high achievers low achievers as well as students with special education needs Steps have also to be taken to tailor-make the curriculum of different subjects for meaningful cross-curricular learning Cooperative learning should still be widely practiced not just in junior forms and for only some subjects More importantly teachers should acquire more knowledge and skills in fostering studentsrsquo self-directed learning which includes the use of teaching strategies to facilitate the e-learning and mobile learning of students
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014

33 Assessment Studentsrsquo academic performance and learning outcomes had been continuously assessed by different modes of homework assignments quizzes
term tests and examinations Assessment for learning was greatly emphasized when giving students homework assignments to help consolidate their subject knowledge and
what they had learned in classroom Assignments which included various kinds like workbooks worksheets essay writing surveys projects case studies reports book reviews and newspaper cuttings etc were duly designed with diversified tasks and questions of varied difficulties Improvement could still be made in designing assignments to cater better for studentsrsquo diversified learning needs to adopt wider modes of assessment like self peer and parent assessments and to help students to conduct their self-directed study
To help students to put great emphasis on doing well their homework in order to consolidate their learning outcomes the Homework Submission
Scheme was adopted and implemented in these recent years to make students do and submit their homework assignments properly Together with the homework policies of different subject panels which often included mark deduction for late submission of assignments students had become more punctual and orderly in their homework submission To further encourage students to do well their homework assignments in order to achieve satisfactory learning outcomes the Most Outstanding Homework Performance Award Scheme was still carried out and a total of 44 and 52 students were awarded in the first term and the second term respectively
To have a better supervision from the school management and the subject panel heads on homework assignments to students including the
content and marking of the assignments the assignment inspection policy was carried out which required the subject panel heads to supervise the panel members over their making use of homework assignments in achieving their teaching objectives Panel heads could make use of the standard record forms of assignment inspection to see into the quality and the quantity of the assignments given by teachers and to evaluate the marking of the teachers and the ways they gave the comments and feedbacks The subject panel heads also had to submit their studentsrsquo assignments to the school management for the same kind of inspection
Besides assessment assignments studentsrsquo annual academic performance in school was formally assessed through tests and examinations
which made up the term marks and the examination marks of studentsrsquo annual scores respectively There were two examinations for each level of students every year For tests there were at least two assessments (testassignmentproject) for each subject within each term For junior forms there should be at least one test in the first term and preferably two tests in the second term while for senior forms the two assessments each term should be tests
The New Senior Secondary Curriculum provided teachers with great challenges in different aspects including assessment Teachers had been
especially careful to be accurate in using the standard referencing system to assess students on the levels they attained in different assessments and different subjects Two attempts were still made in the last school year to help teachers to conduct their level marking more confidently The first was to keep joining the HKDSE Mock Examination Papers Exchange Scheme organized by the Association of Principals of Secondary Schools of the Hong Kong Council of the Church of Christ in China Subject teachers who had joined the Scheme found it very helpful to conduct level marking by taking the marking criteria set by other schools as reference and examples The other attempt was to predict for students their levels of attainment in different subjects after the S6 Mid-year Examination and students were given their predicted grades on S6 Parentsrsquo Day as a way to help the students as well as their parents to prepare better for the Mock Examination and HKDSE The school joined for the second time the Pilot Study on Predicted Levels of 2014 Core Subjects (CEML) conducted by the Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority to study on the reliability of our prediction of
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014
- 25 -
studentsrsquo CEML subjects to evaluate teachersrsquo accuracy in level marking while reliable predicted grades will be useful for managing the expectation of students and their parents The School Report of the pilot study showed that there was a satisfactorily high correlation between the predicted grades awarded by our teachers to students and the actual level attained by students in 2014 HKDSE showing that teachers had a good understanding and knowledge on standard referencing and their level marking performance was very reliable
To match much better the level attainment system adopted by the New Senior Secondary Curriculum with the traditional marking system which
was revealed in studentsrsquo Academic Reports it was decided that the passing mark in senior form subjects would be changed from 50 to 40 of the total mark Such a change could also better reflect the possible level attainment obtained by students in HKDSE
Teachers were also very cautious in taking sophisticated procedures in conducting the School-based Assessment in the New Senior Secondary
Curriculum Students were assessed on the same tasks and with the same assessment criteria To achieve this students were given common SBA tasks across classes and the same standard of assessment The same criteria for awarding marks to all students were applied and in doing so consultation among teachers to align the marking criteria was often conducted and trial marking of samples of studentsrsquo work was constantly carried out Marks given were adjusted whenever necessary to ensure consistence of assessment standard Reference materials and archive materials were used to help standardizing marking Proper and sufficient guidance and supervision was provided to students to ensure the quality and authenticity of their work There was feedback and advice on improvement to students after the completion of marking to provide them with a fruitful learning experience

7 The Way Forward
The challenges and accomplishments highlighted in this report demonstrate the whole-hearted and collaborative efforts of all the stakeholders including the school managers parents alumnae teachers office staff and janitors as well as all the students of True Light Girlsrsquo College In this year we celebrated our 41st anniversary with the inauguration of the eLearning Centre which is designed for students to have an effective and efficient learning environment for mobile cooperative interactive and independent self-access learning We successfully staged the Annual Concert ldquoLa fantasiardquo and an original English play named ldquoBe Thankfulrdquo which impressed all the audience members with students displaying brilliant acting beautiful singing and graceful dancing The book ldquoTrue Light Sharingrdquo a collection of teaching recollections of teachers of TLGC was published to stimulate more interflow and sharing among teachers The year closed with the celebration of promising HKDSE and JUPAS results which bears witness to the tremendous efforts made by the school All the above contributed to the successful achievements experienced by the whole community of TLGC Based on our strengths and with reference to our evaluation on our previous school plans as well as the results of our stakeholdersrsquo survey we will sharpen our focus in the following key areas in the coming school year (1) Reinforcing the True Light spirit through promoting the Year Theme ldquoBe Persevering Be Resilientrdquo and enriching Civic Education programmes (2) Enhancing the learning and teaching effectiveness with the focus on catering for learnersrsquo differences (3) Developing the school-based gifted education mechanism aimed at further stretching studentsrsquo potentials in different domains and (4) Enriching the formal Career Education Curriculum in S3-4 and various career guidance programmes with extra funding Amidst all the challenges in the education system of Hong Kong in recent years True Light will hold on to our mission of being the Light of the World and continue to provide quality Christian education and work to the best of our ability to equip our students with the right attitude to learning an inquisitive mind positive values and a will to serve and shine in the world

On catering well for studentsrsquo learning diversities teachers had kept on adopting suitable teaching strategies to make classroom learning effective for students of different learning
abilities like arousing studentsrsquo learning motivation strengthening studentsrsquo language abilities providing students with various kinds of
exposure and it was a common practice for teachers to make use of graded questions and differentiated tasks to better match studentsrsquo abilities
preparing the high achievers for higher achievement by giving them more challenging tasks and learning activities during the lessons to provoke their high-order thinking setting bonus questions or worksheets and designing for them more demanding homework assignments
different learning programmes were provided for high achievers and weaker students like offering off-site courses in Chinese English Mathematics Liberal Studies Physics and Biology for NSS high-achieving students to
further enhance their learning abilities in these subjects arranging after-school tutorial classes for those junior form students who were weak in the main subjects
preparatory measures were attempted to tailor-make the school policies on catering for studentsrsquo learning diversities like joining the Learning Circle of Catering for Learning Diversities organized by EDB to keep interflow of ideas with other schools participating in the research on ldquoHong Kong In-service Teachersrsquo Self-efficacy and Readiness for Differentiated Instruction for
Diverse Learnersrsquo organized by the Faculty of Education of The Chinese University of Hong Kong to have a better understanding on the preparedness and readiness of our teachers at catering for learning diversities
taking the initiative within members of the Academic Standing Committee to prepare the school much better in catering for learning diversities like taking steps to further review the school policies and strategies on the issue to conduct a further study on studentsrsquo learning diversities and to coordinate the teaching strategies adopted by different subjects to cater for learning diversities
On broadening studentsrsquo learning horizons with cross-curricular learning the Language Across Curriculum project was implemented promoting cross-curricular learning with English as the teaching medium
a cross-panel Language Across Curriculum Coordinating Team was set up comprising of a Vice-principal four English teachers one Mathematics teachers and one Integrated Science teacher
with the advice and guidance of a hired consultant teachers of the LAC team had worked out and developed a total of 24 cross-curricular learning and teaching packages on English Mathematics and Integrated Science for the junior form students including worksheets on both language and content items as well as interactive activities and games to be used in lessons
these learning and teaching materials would be fully utilized in the new school year while they would also serve as examples for other EMI subjects to develop cross-curricular learning materials with English
the 24 LAC teaching and learning packages with interactive learning activities and graded exercises on English History and Geography were successfully put into practice in the junior form lessons
the annual Cross-curricular Learning Day activities were carried successfully on 21st February providing students with task-oriented learning opportunities to learn more effectively and creatively without subject boundaries like
lsquoThe Changing Face of Centralrsquo (S1) lsquoWhatrsquos on the Menursquo (S2) lsquoField Study in Kingrsquos Parkrsquo (S3) lsquoLearning Positive Traits from Famous Peoplersquo (S4) and lsquoWorking Realityrsquo (S5)
studentsrsquo language proficiency had been greatly enhanced as students had to accomplish tasks like writing and orally presenting reports in their Cross-curricular Learning Day activities
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014
- 16 -
initial steps to develop tailor-made curricula to promote cross-curricular learning were taken as subject panels especially those within the same key learning areas were encouraged to identify suitable cross-curricular topics
across subjects some teachers especially those within the same key learning areas were encouraged to include cross-curricular elements in their
collaborative teaching plans On enhancing studentsrsquo learning in classroom with cooperative learning many teachers had participated quite actively in many professional development activities concerning cooperative learning including
peer lesson observation experience sharing on the practice of the related teaching strategies
many teachers had included cooperative elements in their lessons like including cooperative learning elements in their collaborative teaching plans practicing cooperative learning more in junior form lessons
students were equipped with cooperative learning skills in junior forms Liberal Studies lessons with high demands of interactive learning and creativity were taken as the most appropriate platform for
students to start acquiring and practicing cooperative learning skills in junior forms cooperative learning was also quite frequently applied in S1-S3 classrooms especially by teachers of subjects like English History
Integrated Science and Geography
222 Reflection Studentsrsquo self-directed learning practices had developed quite satisfactorily in the past school year through the wide practice of
e-learning the making good use of the Student TV and the insistence on reading to learn but there is still plenty room for improvement Both teachers and students should have some better understanding of the real benefits and strategies of self-directed learning for
enhancing learning effectiveness There should be more professional development on self-directed learning for teachers including both the philosophies and teaching strategies Teachers should engage students meaningfully and effectively in their self-directed learning to compensate for the lack of sufficient time for students to learn just in the classroom Students on the other hand should still have to develop the habit of self-directed learning so that they could learn more widely and freely beyond the constraints of classroom learning
To develop e-learning for effective self-directed learning it is very necessary to have the sufficient provision of both the hardware and software For hardware more ipads should be provided for students for the convenience of their mobile learning and classroom sharing and plans should be taken to cover the whole school campus with WiFi access Both teachers and students should be encouraged to use the newly established E-Learning Centre for lessons or self-directed learning As for software teachers should be given more room and support to enable them to prepare more e-learning lessons and teaching packages as well as self-access learning materials or packages for studentsrsquo self-directed learning More suitable apps for educational and instructional purposes should have been purchased
The Student TV should still be much better developed as an effective platform for studentsrsquo self-directed learning To produce better programmes both in quantity and quality for self-directed learning more and more students should be trained and supported to become more active in producing and broadcasting self-direct learning programmes for students More broadcasting time should be given while it will be more useful if students could have more and easier accesses to programmes produced by the Student TV
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014

To promote self-directed learning through reading a more enriched reading atmosphere in school should still be enhanced Students should be much encouraged to make good use of the prescribed reading lists for their self-directed academic pursuit by asking them to provide diffused information acquired from prescribed readings to accomplish their assignments or by giving them bonus term marks Persistent efforts in finding and subscribing suitable ibooks for students should still be attempted to facilitate studentsrsquo self-direct learning
The increasing needs in catering for studentsrsquo learning diversities require both the school and the teachers to take more appropriate actions teachers should further develop a better awareness of the importance of catering for learner differences as both effective and
indispensable in helping all students not just the low achievers they should be encouraged to participate actively in learning circles of teachers of the same or other schools to develop suitable and effective strategies to be applied in classrooms for the purpose
the school should take steps to look into the real situation of learning diversities of our students and to work out school-based policies and development programmes to equip the school and the teachers with the necessary knowledge and strategies to enhance studentsrsquo learning through catering for their learning diversities
both the teachers and school should also prepare themselves to provide help and support to those students with special education needs who have been growing in number in recent years
Based on the contemporary success in making use of cross-curricular learning to enhance studentsrsquo learning effectiveness some better measures could still be taken to enrich and improve the Cross Curricular Learning Day activities to refine the attempts at developing and implementing the Language Across Curriculum and to working out a practical school-based curriculum for cross-curricular learning the Cross-curricular Learning Day in providing students with task-oriented or theme-based leaning opportunities should also
integrate other ingredients to develop students as effective learners like learning outside the classroom and enhancing their skills in e-learning mobile learning as well as self-directed learning
cross-curricular learning through Language Across Curriculum should include not just English with History Geography Mathematics and Integrated Science but also with all other EMI academic subjects so that both the language and the academic subjects could reinforce one another in studentsrsquo learning and there should be better coordination to facilitate teachersrsquo cooperation and to incorporate well the LAC lessons into the teaching schedules of the subjects concerned
subject panels should be much encouraged and supported to review their curricula to identify suitable topics and themes for cross-curricular learning in order to work out the school-based tailor-made cross-curricular learning curricula
Cooperative learning should still be further enforced especially in junior forms in order to familiarize students in the earliest stage of the secondary school study with the unique learning skills and styles and teachers should still be much encouraged and facilitated to widely practice cooperative learning by providing them with the necessary materials needed for cooperative learning requiring them to work with each other in collaborative teaching to work out and implement the teaching plans with cooperative learning elements and asking them to start with the junior forms to try out the strategies for cooperative learning

23 Gifted Education Development
231 Achievements With sufficient preparatory work in the previous year this academic year saw the progressive development of gifted education in True Light Girls College With concerted efforts of the Committee members new initiatives were raised and relevant issues and concerns were explored On the administrative level The Gifted Education Committee was officially formed The committee set up gifted education policy and implemented certain projects in
the year Aiming to identify students gifted in different domains and provide suitable learning opportunities for them talent pools in S2 and S3 were
set up focusing on performance of eight domains namely Chinese English Mathematics Science Music Physical Education Art and Leadership In each domain of each form 16 students were selected as gifted by respective subject teachers or class teachers The talent pools were made accessible for all teachers so that all of them could identify gifted students in certain domains when necessary
Towards the end of the academic year talent pools were updated for the new academic year A system was developed for managing the ongoing pull-out programmes The system categorized the running programmes concerned
on subject-based criteria On students level In this year the nomination process of students to join off-site enrichment and extension programmes provided by Gifted Education
Section of EDB the Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education local tertiary institutions and universities was carried out smoothly A leadership training programme was successfully organized in August 2014 for potential student leaders All S4 students were assigned to join The Hong Kong Award for Young People (AYP) which is a scheme promoting all-round
development and exploring ones talent and potential One committee member teacher was assigned to each of the 4 classes to monitor students completion of the scheme
Two talks were held for students throughout the year One aimed at informing S4 students of the rationale and implementation of AYP Another one is for S2 and S3 students introducing the rationale of talent pool and how students should go all out to develop their talents
On teachers level Teachers were invited to contribute to the development of talent pool During the process they were introduced the definition of
giftedness and some selective criteria of gifted students
On parents level Mr Patrick Lam Associate Director of the Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education was invited to be the guest speaker of a seminar for
parents on Parents Day in February The talk introduced the ideas of giftedness and it received positive responses from the parents

232 Reflection
The goals set were achieved well in the previous academic year It is deemed that improvements on certain areas of the Committee could be made for future development of gifted education in breadth and depth All members of the group should have a basic and unanimous understanding as to how gifted education is defined and how its
development is implemented on the school level It is time for all members to receive further training provided by the Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education Core members of the group should receive more advanced training especially on the administrative level More meetings and informal exchanges should take place for achieving such an aim
With the development of the talent pool it should be introduced to all teaching staff thoroughly so that they are more aware of its existence and use
AYP is to be implemented in both S4 and S5 Last year the completion rate of the scheme was not satisfactory as teachers in charge found it difficult to monitor students progress frequently and regularly Next year AYP ambassadors will be assigned in all S4 and S5 classes It is hoped that they can facilitate the monitoring work as well as the promotional work of relevant activities
Gifted education in classroom is one of the concerns of the Committee A staff development programme regarding high-order thinking skills is to be held in next year helping teachers familiarize themselves with how such skills can be developed among students in classroom
24 Career Education Enrichment
241 Achievements This is the second year of the 5-year School Development Plan 2012-2017 This is a good opportunity for students teachers and parents to understand the importance of career education for the student development through organizing and participating in different programmes This year a wide variety of programmes were organized for all stakeholders to be equipped in career education These should be helpful for students to pursue their own goals with the support from their parents and teachers On enhancing professional development of teachers on career education a staff development programme on Implementation of Career Education in Secondary School was organized for all teachers on 6
January 2014 We invited Dr Ho Yuk Fan the Vice Chairperson of The Hong Kong Association of Careers Masters and Guidance Masters to share the latest information in Career Guidance The teachers were very positive to the programme
A workshop was particularly designed for Career Guidance teachers to understand more about the use of the Career Interest Inventory on 14 March 2014
In addition a professional exchange between Methodist College and us was held on 10 April 2014 Ways for effective implementation of the career guidance programmes at school were shared
The Career Guidance Committee attended a talk on how to use the CLP Grant on 27 February 2014

On equipping senior form students for their planning of future career Based on the student evaluation collected last year the S4 curriculum was modified so that more group discussion was introduced
Students could be more involved in the lessons To supplement the formal lessons lots of activities were arranged for S4 students These included Goal Setting Workshop Simulation
Game 踏步大未來生涯規劃工作坊 Mr Work (Simulation) visits to Chow Tai Fook Immigration Service Institute of Training amp

True Light Bonds was one of the most important programmes for S1 and S4 students designed by the Career Guidance Committee Both S1 and S4 students were given an opportunity to brainstorm their future career they would like to pursue
Japanese and Korean Culture Workshops visits to RTHK and Chinese Cuisine Training Institute were arranged to widen studentsrsquo exposures
On helping students set clear goals on future study and career The QEF project was completed on 30 April 2014 Programmes were arranged for students teachers and parents to enrich their
career knowledge and experiences Subject panels provided a wide variety of activities to inspire students for the pursuit of their further study and career opportunities such
as visiting RTHK attending a CEO talk from KCS and a public lecture on ldquoExplore the World of Medicinerdquo Some students found the participation in the OLE activities inspired them in setting up their own goals Reflections on goal set up for
study and career can be seen in S6 studentsrsquo Student Learning Profile and the OEA
242 Reflection The school has been promoting career education to the stakeholders at school Even though there were difficulties in the implementation phase it was a good start Some teachers may not fully understand the importance of career education to all students More professional development on career
guidance should be provided to teachers so that they will be better equipped for providing more comprehensive support to the students More CRE activities were organized but the teachers could better help the students to consolidate their learning and relate their
experiences to career planning so as to arouse studentsrsquo awareness to the importance of career planning For the Career Education Curriculum it would be introduced in S3 in 2014-2015 Students could have an earlier awareness which can
help them make a more informed choice for their study and career

independentlyrsquo and lsquolearn proactivelyrsquo in their academic pursuit Taking such approaches in learning both in and outside the classroom students find that they could make the most out of their various learning experiences as they striving for the best academic performance
Through their daily learning in classroom students did not just acquire knowledge subject-wise while developing their various generic skills they
could also learn to treasure important universal values when they came across the core elements in value education including moral civic and environmental education which had been immerged with the different subjects they studied These invaluable learning experiences could help students establish correct and positive attitudes towards life which is very useful for them to live and enrich their everyday life and to foster their whole person development
Students became very effective learners in and outside the classroom with the help of information technology When in classrooms students
were highly engaged in each lesson with teachers making the frequent use of various information technology devices like the computing system the electronic whiteboard the Simultaneous Response System and the overhead projector as well as different audio-visual aids to enrich their learning experiences Students could also make use of various e-learning provisions in school to conduct their own self-directed learning outside the classroom In recent years students could study with the e-learning packages uploaded to the eClass platform by their subject teachers and conduct their private study with the help of the computer in the Computer Room Since last Easter students could also use ipads for their self-directed study in the newly-established E-Learning Centre
Junior form studentsrsquo learning in classrooms was also much facilitated with some new ingredients inserted in their lessons For instance students
in S1 and S2 could learn with ipads in English lessons to accomplish their learning tasks and to share promptly and effectively their learning outcomes with classmates Junior form students attending Liberal Studies Integrated Science and Computer Literacy periods would also often find themselves learning lively and actively through ipads
Furthermore junior form students had also come across with a new learning experience in their Language across Curriculum lessons with
subjects like English Mathematics History Geography and Integrated Science Learning with the tailor-made cross-curricular materials which include innovative worksheets as well as interactive games and activities students found it marvelous as their study of the English language and the subject content of Mathematics Science and Humanities could reinforce each other
Drama education was introduced as a new element in the English learning of junior form students with the hope that this integration of the
lsquodramarsquo elements in the English periods would make the lessons more impressive and appealing to students while students could learn in a more creative and interactive way the listening writing reading and speaking skills in the learning of the language
Junior form students had also got used to making use of cooperative learning in class to help maximize their learning effectiveness and outcomes
especially in lessons of English Liberal Studies History and Geography For senior form students there was still a strong tendency for them to take less than three elective subjects in their NSS study In this school year
after their application for dropping elective subjects had been approved after the last Final Examination there are now 58 students in S5 and 92 students in S6 studying less than three elective subjects Meanwhile there are already 11 students in S4 studying only two elective subjects many were S4 repeaters who could only take two elective subjects for their study Moreover there are only 7 students (out of 37) still studied M1 in S6 while a total of 18 (out of 36) had withdrawn their study of M2

With the growing dropping rate of M1 and M2 in S5 and S6 there would only be a class of students admitted to S4 this year given the opportunity to study the Mathematics extensions but this study would only take place after they have been promoted to S5 In the meantime those S6 and S5 students who had withdrawn their study of an elective subject had still to attend supplementary Chinese and English lessons two periods for each language per cycle in the first term or the second term respectively For other spare periods these students had to conduct their self-directed learning in the school library while class and subject teachers were well aware of giving them more and better support through guidance or providing them with more supplementary work or exercises Those students who had withdrawn from studying the Mathematics extension parts had to attend supplementary Mathematics (Core) lessons to concentrate on improving their performance in the subject
Senior form students could also have other learning experiences within their normal lessons like Religious Education lessons for Moral amp Civic
Education PE lessons for Physical Development Career Education lessons in S4 for Career-Related Experiences as well as Aesthetic Development lessons For Career Education though it was not included as normal lessons in S5 and S6 it had still been implemented for the students as immersed programmes conducted in class teachersrsquo periods or assembly time for S5 and S6
Besides learning through the formal curriculum in classrooms students also learned without boundaries outside the classroom They took part
actively in the Cross-curricular Learning Day learning across subject boundaries in the form of thematic study like lsquoThe Changing Face of Centralrsquo (S1) lsquoWhatrsquos on the Menursquo (S2) lsquoField Study in Kingrsquos Parkrsquo (S3) lsquoLearning Positive Traits from Famous Peoplersquo (S4) and lsquoWorking Realityrsquo (S5) Moreover students enjoyed something like a knowledge carnival in the re-organized Inter-House General Quiz when both the House teams and the House members as audience were asked of questions from all the subjects they studied
Students also learned in a lively and creative way and gained significantly when they participated in some exchange or interflow activities or
attended the various enrichment or enhancement courses organized by the school or when they acquired other learning experiences outside the classroom
Students were given the opportunities to learn in other schools when they joined in some student interflow schemes like the Local Student
Exchange Scheme co-organized with Hong Kong True Light Middle School on April 1-3 2014 as well as with Queen Elizabeth School on April 9-10 2014 Students had also twice the time to have interflows with students from Guangzhou True Light Middle School on November 6-7 2013 and April 30 2014 Students who had become buddies of the student visitors from other schools could have especially gone through some brand new and unforgettable learning experiences
The Capacity Enhancement Grant (CEG) and the Diversity Learning (DLG) were well made use of to provide students with extra support to
further enrich their knowledge to enhance better their learning capacity and develop deeper their interests and skills Through CEG there were Enrichment Courses for S1-S3 Gifted Students in Mathematics an Interactive Drama Performance Course for S2 students Drama Courses to enhance S4 and S5 students in their English Learning Chinese Debating Courses for S2 to S4 students Physics Courses on lsquoArchitecture amp Mechanicsrsquo and lsquoElectromagnetismrsquo biotechnology experiments for Biology students in senior forms a Beginner Digital Photography Course and Student TV Training Course Through DLG there included a Learning English through Debating Extension Course a Learning English through Social Issues and Pop Culture Extension Course workshops on Chinese writing and composition Biology courses on lsquoForensic Sciencersquo and lsquoBiotechnology Experimentsrsquo and Mathematics and Liberal Studies enhancement courses for NSS students
Studentsrsquo knowledge horizons were also broadened when they participated in a variety of extra-curricular or co-curricular activities like visits
field trips and study tours abroad like to Singapore in January 2014 on Environmental Historical Cultural and English studies to mainland China (Beijing) for Cultural Studies and to Taiwan on Music Interfow Different subject panels had also worked through their respective academic societies to provide various innovative life-wide learning activities to arouse studentsrsquo interests and to enhance their ability in learning the disciplines Talks of academics or scholars had also been organized to help arouse studentsrsquo social consciousness and academic concerns

32 Teaching Strategies Our teachers had been incessantly acquiring and attempting to put into practice different kinds of teaching strategies to cater for the various
learning needs of our students in order to help them achieve the best learning outcomes Teachers always took up the role of facilitators in classrooms focusing at constructing an interactive classroom in order to arouse studentsrsquo learning motivation and help encourage their proactive learning Students were provided with various stimuli to help their learning like providing them with different scenarios to inspire them to explore every possible method to solve problems asking them graded and high order thinking questions to enhance their creativity and critical thinking skills and giving them carefully designed differentiated and challenging tasks to enrich their useful and meaningful learning opportunities in classrooms Teachers also provided timely and constructive feedbacks and compliments to students as recognition and reinforcement of their learning outcomes
Teachers also tended to have frequent applications of various information technology techniques and devices like the computing systems
visualizers ipads as well as the electronic whiteboards with the simultaneous response system to help reinforce their teaching strategies in creating a more interactive and effective learning environment to make learning and teaching more effective Teachers had been looking into the possibility of making a wider use of e-learning strategies like providing students with e-learning packages and resources through the eClass platform introducing e-textbooks to students and subscribing for them i-books for self-directed learning The first task had been taken for a few years while the other two tasks were still put under study
To improve the teaching strategies on catering for learning diversities our school had joined with other schools in the Learning Circle of Catering
for Learning Diversities organized by EDB to keep an interflow of related ideas and strategies with other schools The school had also participated in the research on ldquoHong Kong In-service Teachersrsquo Self-efficacy and Readiness for Differentiated Instruction for Diverse Learnersrsquo organized by the Faculty of Education of The Chinese University of Hong Kong in order to have a better understanding on the preparedness and readiness of our teachers at catering for learning diversities
Our teachers had also engaged themselves in an active sharing of teaching strategies as they contributed proactively their articles to the
publication of a Collection of Teaching Recollections of Teachers of True Light Girlsrsquo College called lsquoTrue Light Sharingrsquo in the last school year As seen from the four sections in the book teachers of different subjects shared with their colleagues and teachers of other schools their teaching plans lesson tips glowing new ideas in teaching as well as some teaching reflections
Teachers had been actively making use of the Collaborative Teaching Scheme and the Common Free Periods to work together and to learn from
each other for the purpose of refining and further developing their teaching strategies Through the Collaborative Teaching Scheme teachers teaching the same subjects or within the same KLA worked in teams each consisting of two or three teachers to work out and implement together some teaching plans with peer lesson observation and evaluation Specific attention was paid to develop teaching strategies for cross-curricular and cooperative learning while the scheming of student-oriented lessons to enhance active student involvement and learning autonomy was also emphasized with concerns for provoking high-order thinking and catering for learning diversities Common free periods were arranged when setting the timetables for teachers of English Chinese Mathematics and NSS Liberal Studies at each level to enhance their professional teaching collaboration in their lesson preparation and implementation Other subject teachers had mostly taken their own initiative to arrange for themselves the same practice for their professional sharing and development
To further enhance the effectiveness of our teaching strategies in order to bring about satisfactory learning outcomes of students it is still
necessary for our teachers to acquire improve and implement the teaching strategies concerning catering for learning diversities of high achievers low achievers as well as students with special education needs Steps have also to be taken to tailor-make the curriculum of different subjects for meaningful cross-curricular learning Cooperative learning should still be widely practiced not just in junior forms and for only some subjects More importantly teachers should acquire more knowledge and skills in fostering studentsrsquo self-directed learning which includes the use of teaching strategies to facilitate the e-learning and mobile learning of students

33 Assessment Studentsrsquo academic performance and learning outcomes had been continuously assessed by different modes of homework assignments quizzes
term tests and examinations Assessment for learning was greatly emphasized when giving students homework assignments to help consolidate their subject knowledge and
what they had learned in classroom Assignments which included various kinds like workbooks worksheets essay writing surveys projects case studies reports book reviews and newspaper cuttings etc were duly designed with diversified tasks and questions of varied difficulties Improvement could still be made in designing assignments to cater better for studentsrsquo diversified learning needs to adopt wider modes of assessment like self peer and parent assessments and to help students to conduct their self-directed study
To help students to put great emphasis on doing well their homework in order to consolidate their learning outcomes the Homework Submission
Scheme was adopted and implemented in these recent years to make students do and submit their homework assignments properly Together with the homework policies of different subject panels which often included mark deduction for late submission of assignments students had become more punctual and orderly in their homework submission To further encourage students to do well their homework assignments in order to achieve satisfactory learning outcomes the Most Outstanding Homework Performance Award Scheme was still carried out and a total of 44 and 52 students were awarded in the first term and the second term respectively
To have a better supervision from the school management and the subject panel heads on homework assignments to students including the
content and marking of the assignments the assignment inspection policy was carried out which required the subject panel heads to supervise the panel members over their making use of homework assignments in achieving their teaching objectives Panel heads could make use of the standard record forms of assignment inspection to see into the quality and the quantity of the assignments given by teachers and to evaluate the marking of the teachers and the ways they gave the comments and feedbacks The subject panel heads also had to submit their studentsrsquo assignments to the school management for the same kind of inspection
Besides assessment assignments studentsrsquo annual academic performance in school was formally assessed through tests and examinations
which made up the term marks and the examination marks of studentsrsquo annual scores respectively There were two examinations for each level of students every year For tests there were at least two assessments (testassignmentproject) for each subject within each term For junior forms there should be at least one test in the first term and preferably two tests in the second term while for senior forms the two assessments each term should be tests
The New Senior Secondary Curriculum provided teachers with great challenges in different aspects including assessment Teachers had been
especially careful to be accurate in using the standard referencing system to assess students on the levels they attained in different assessments and different subjects Two attempts were still made in the last school year to help teachers to conduct their level marking more confidently The first was to keep joining the HKDSE Mock Examination Papers Exchange Scheme organized by the Association of Principals of Secondary Schools of the Hong Kong Council of the Church of Christ in China Subject teachers who had joined the Scheme found it very helpful to conduct level marking by taking the marking criteria set by other schools as reference and examples The other attempt was to predict for students their levels of attainment in different subjects after the S6 Mid-year Examination and students were given their predicted grades on S6 Parentsrsquo Day as a way to help the students as well as their parents to prepare better for the Mock Examination and HKDSE The school joined for the second time the Pilot Study on Predicted Levels of 2014 Core Subjects (CEML) conducted by the Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority to study on the reliability of our prediction of
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014
- 25 -
studentsrsquo CEML subjects to evaluate teachersrsquo accuracy in level marking while reliable predicted grades will be useful for managing the expectation of students and their parents The School Report of the pilot study showed that there was a satisfactorily high correlation between the predicted grades awarded by our teachers to students and the actual level attained by students in 2014 HKDSE showing that teachers had a good understanding and knowledge on standard referencing and their level marking performance was very reliable
To match much better the level attainment system adopted by the New Senior Secondary Curriculum with the traditional marking system which
was revealed in studentsrsquo Academic Reports it was decided that the passing mark in senior form subjects would be changed from 50 to 40 of the total mark Such a change could also better reflect the possible level attainment obtained by students in HKDSE
Teachers were also very cautious in taking sophisticated procedures in conducting the School-based Assessment in the New Senior Secondary
Curriculum Students were assessed on the same tasks and with the same assessment criteria To achieve this students were given common SBA tasks across classes and the same standard of assessment The same criteria for awarding marks to all students were applied and in doing so consultation among teachers to align the marking criteria was often conducted and trial marking of samples of studentsrsquo work was constantly carried out Marks given were adjusted whenever necessary to ensure consistence of assessment standard Reference materials and archive materials were used to help standardizing marking Proper and sufficient guidance and supervision was provided to students to ensure the quality and authenticity of their work There was feedback and advice on improvement to students after the completion of marking to provide them with a fruitful learning experience

initial steps to develop tailor-made curricula to promote cross-curricular learning were taken as subject panels especially those within the same key learning areas were encouraged to identify suitable cross-curricular topics
across subjects some teachers especially those within the same key learning areas were encouraged to include cross-curricular elements in their
collaborative teaching plans On enhancing studentsrsquo learning in classroom with cooperative learning many teachers had participated quite actively in many professional development activities concerning cooperative learning including
peer lesson observation experience sharing on the practice of the related teaching strategies
many teachers had included cooperative elements in their lessons like including cooperative learning elements in their collaborative teaching plans practicing cooperative learning more in junior form lessons
students were equipped with cooperative learning skills in junior forms Liberal Studies lessons with high demands of interactive learning and creativity were taken as the most appropriate platform for
students to start acquiring and practicing cooperative learning skills in junior forms cooperative learning was also quite frequently applied in S1-S3 classrooms especially by teachers of subjects like English History
Integrated Science and Geography
222 Reflection Studentsrsquo self-directed learning practices had developed quite satisfactorily in the past school year through the wide practice of
e-learning the making good use of the Student TV and the insistence on reading to learn but there is still plenty room for improvement Both teachers and students should have some better understanding of the real benefits and strategies of self-directed learning for
enhancing learning effectiveness There should be more professional development on self-directed learning for teachers including both the philosophies and teaching strategies Teachers should engage students meaningfully and effectively in their self-directed learning to compensate for the lack of sufficient time for students to learn just in the classroom Students on the other hand should still have to develop the habit of self-directed learning so that they could learn more widely and freely beyond the constraints of classroom learning
To develop e-learning for effective self-directed learning it is very necessary to have the sufficient provision of both the hardware and software For hardware more ipads should be provided for students for the convenience of their mobile learning and classroom sharing and plans should be taken to cover the whole school campus with WiFi access Both teachers and students should be encouraged to use the newly established E-Learning Centre for lessons or self-directed learning As for software teachers should be given more room and support to enable them to prepare more e-learning lessons and teaching packages as well as self-access learning materials or packages for studentsrsquo self-directed learning More suitable apps for educational and instructional purposes should have been purchased
The Student TV should still be much better developed as an effective platform for studentsrsquo self-directed learning To produce better programmes both in quantity and quality for self-directed learning more and more students should be trained and supported to become more active in producing and broadcasting self-direct learning programmes for students More broadcasting time should be given while it will be more useful if students could have more and easier accesses to programmes produced by the Student TV

To promote self-directed learning through reading a more enriched reading atmosphere in school should still be enhanced Students should be much encouraged to make good use of the prescribed reading lists for their self-directed academic pursuit by asking them to provide diffused information acquired from prescribed readings to accomplish their assignments or by giving them bonus term marks Persistent efforts in finding and subscribing suitable ibooks for students should still be attempted to facilitate studentsrsquo self-direct learning
The increasing needs in catering for studentsrsquo learning diversities require both the school and the teachers to take more appropriate actions teachers should further develop a better awareness of the importance of catering for learner differences as both effective and
indispensable in helping all students not just the low achievers they should be encouraged to participate actively in learning circles of teachers of the same or other schools to develop suitable and effective strategies to be applied in classrooms for the purpose
the school should take steps to look into the real situation of learning diversities of our students and to work out school-based policies and development programmes to equip the school and the teachers with the necessary knowledge and strategies to enhance studentsrsquo learning through catering for their learning diversities
both the teachers and school should also prepare themselves to provide help and support to those students with special education needs who have been growing in number in recent years
Based on the contemporary success in making use of cross-curricular learning to enhance studentsrsquo learning effectiveness some better measures could still be taken to enrich and improve the Cross Curricular Learning Day activities to refine the attempts at developing and implementing the Language Across Curriculum and to working out a practical school-based curriculum for cross-curricular learning the Cross-curricular Learning Day in providing students with task-oriented or theme-based leaning opportunities should also
integrate other ingredients to develop students as effective learners like learning outside the classroom and enhancing their skills in e-learning mobile learning as well as self-directed learning
cross-curricular learning through Language Across Curriculum should include not just English with History Geography Mathematics and Integrated Science but also with all other EMI academic subjects so that both the language and the academic subjects could reinforce one another in studentsrsquo learning and there should be better coordination to facilitate teachersrsquo cooperation and to incorporate well the LAC lessons into the teaching schedules of the subjects concerned
subject panels should be much encouraged and supported to review their curricula to identify suitable topics and themes for cross-curricular learning in order to work out the school-based tailor-made cross-curricular learning curricula
Cooperative learning should still be further enforced especially in junior forms in order to familiarize students in the earliest stage of the secondary school study with the unique learning skills and styles and teachers should still be much encouraged and facilitated to widely practice cooperative learning by providing them with the necessary materials needed for cooperative learning requiring them to work with each other in collaborative teaching to work out and implement the teaching plans with cooperative learning elements and asking them to start with the junior forms to try out the strategies for cooperative learning

23 Gifted Education Development
231 Achievements With sufficient preparatory work in the previous year this academic year saw the progressive development of gifted education in True Light Girls College With concerted efforts of the Committee members new initiatives were raised and relevant issues and concerns were explored On the administrative level The Gifted Education Committee was officially formed The committee set up gifted education policy and implemented certain projects in
the year Aiming to identify students gifted in different domains and provide suitable learning opportunities for them talent pools in S2 and S3 were
set up focusing on performance of eight domains namely Chinese English Mathematics Science Music Physical Education Art and Leadership In each domain of each form 16 students were selected as gifted by respective subject teachers or class teachers The talent pools were made accessible for all teachers so that all of them could identify gifted students in certain domains when necessary
Towards the end of the academic year talent pools were updated for the new academic year A system was developed for managing the ongoing pull-out programmes The system categorized the running programmes concerned
on subject-based criteria On students level In this year the nomination process of students to join off-site enrichment and extension programmes provided by Gifted Education
Section of EDB the Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education local tertiary institutions and universities was carried out smoothly A leadership training programme was successfully organized in August 2014 for potential student leaders All S4 students were assigned to join The Hong Kong Award for Young People (AYP) which is a scheme promoting all-round
development and exploring ones talent and potential One committee member teacher was assigned to each of the 4 classes to monitor students completion of the scheme
Two talks were held for students throughout the year One aimed at informing S4 students of the rationale and implementation of AYP Another one is for S2 and S3 students introducing the rationale of talent pool and how students should go all out to develop their talents
On teachers level Teachers were invited to contribute to the development of talent pool During the process they were introduced the definition of
giftedness and some selective criteria of gifted students
On parents level Mr Patrick Lam Associate Director of the Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education was invited to be the guest speaker of a seminar for
parents on Parents Day in February The talk introduced the ideas of giftedness and it received positive responses from the parents

232 Reflection
The goals set were achieved well in the previous academic year It is deemed that improvements on certain areas of the Committee could be made for future development of gifted education in breadth and depth All members of the group should have a basic and unanimous understanding as to how gifted education is defined and how its
development is implemented on the school level It is time for all members to receive further training provided by the Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education Core members of the group should receive more advanced training especially on the administrative level More meetings and informal exchanges should take place for achieving such an aim
With the development of the talent pool it should be introduced to all teaching staff thoroughly so that they are more aware of its existence and use
AYP is to be implemented in both S4 and S5 Last year the completion rate of the scheme was not satisfactory as teachers in charge found it difficult to monitor students progress frequently and regularly Next year AYP ambassadors will be assigned in all S4 and S5 classes It is hoped that they can facilitate the monitoring work as well as the promotional work of relevant activities
Gifted education in classroom is one of the concerns of the Committee A staff development programme regarding high-order thinking skills is to be held in next year helping teachers familiarize themselves with how such skills can be developed among students in classroom
24 Career Education Enrichment
241 Achievements This is the second year of the 5-year School Development Plan 2012-2017 This is a good opportunity for students teachers and parents to understand the importance of career education for the student development through organizing and participating in different programmes This year a wide variety of programmes were organized for all stakeholders to be equipped in career education These should be helpful for students to pursue their own goals with the support from their parents and teachers On enhancing professional development of teachers on career education a staff development programme on Implementation of Career Education in Secondary School was organized for all teachers on 6
January 2014 We invited Dr Ho Yuk Fan the Vice Chairperson of The Hong Kong Association of Careers Masters and Guidance Masters to share the latest information in Career Guidance The teachers were very positive to the programme
A workshop was particularly designed for Career Guidance teachers to understand more about the use of the Career Interest Inventory on 14 March 2014
In addition a professional exchange between Methodist College and us was held on 10 April 2014 Ways for effective implementation of the career guidance programmes at school were shared
The Career Guidance Committee attended a talk on how to use the CLP Grant on 27 February 2014

On equipping senior form students for their planning of future career Based on the student evaluation collected last year the S4 curriculum was modified so that more group discussion was introduced
Students could be more involved in the lessons To supplement the formal lessons lots of activities were arranged for S4 students These included Goal Setting Workshop Simulation
Game 踏步大未來生涯規劃工作坊 Mr Work (Simulation) visits to Chow Tai Fook Immigration Service Institute of Training amp

True Light Bonds was one of the most important programmes for S1 and S4 students designed by the Career Guidance Committee Both S1 and S4 students were given an opportunity to brainstorm their future career they would like to pursue
Japanese and Korean Culture Workshops visits to RTHK and Chinese Cuisine Training Institute were arranged to widen studentsrsquo exposures
On helping students set clear goals on future study and career The QEF project was completed on 30 April 2014 Programmes were arranged for students teachers and parents to enrich their
career knowledge and experiences Subject panels provided a wide variety of activities to inspire students for the pursuit of their further study and career opportunities such
as visiting RTHK attending a CEO talk from KCS and a public lecture on ldquoExplore the World of Medicinerdquo Some students found the participation in the OLE activities inspired them in setting up their own goals Reflections on goal set up for
study and career can be seen in S6 studentsrsquo Student Learning Profile and the OEA
242 Reflection The school has been promoting career education to the stakeholders at school Even though there were difficulties in the implementation phase it was a good start Some teachers may not fully understand the importance of career education to all students More professional development on career
guidance should be provided to teachers so that they will be better equipped for providing more comprehensive support to the students More CRE activities were organized but the teachers could better help the students to consolidate their learning and relate their
experiences to career planning so as to arouse studentsrsquo awareness to the importance of career planning For the Career Education Curriculum it would be introduced in S3 in 2014-2015 Students could have an earlier awareness which can
help them make a more informed choice for their study and career

3 Learning and Teaching 31 Learning Experiences
Our students have been with pride and perseverance putting the call of the School Mission into their daily learning as they always tend to lsquothink
independentlyrsquo and lsquolearn proactivelyrsquo in their academic pursuit Taking such approaches in learning both in and outside the classroom students find that they could make the most out of their various learning experiences as they striving for the best academic performance
Through their daily learning in classroom students did not just acquire knowledge subject-wise while developing their various generic skills they
could also learn to treasure important universal values when they came across the core elements in value education including moral civic and environmental education which had been immerged with the different subjects they studied These invaluable learning experiences could help students establish correct and positive attitudes towards life which is very useful for them to live and enrich their everyday life and to foster their whole person development
Students became very effective learners in and outside the classroom with the help of information technology When in classrooms students
were highly engaged in each lesson with teachers making the frequent use of various information technology devices like the computing system the electronic whiteboard the Simultaneous Response System and the overhead projector as well as different audio-visual aids to enrich their learning experiences Students could also make use of various e-learning provisions in school to conduct their own self-directed learning outside the classroom In recent years students could study with the e-learning packages uploaded to the eClass platform by their subject teachers and conduct their private study with the help of the computer in the Computer Room Since last Easter students could also use ipads for their self-directed study in the newly-established E-Learning Centre
Junior form studentsrsquo learning in classrooms was also much facilitated with some new ingredients inserted in their lessons For instance students
in S1 and S2 could learn with ipads in English lessons to accomplish their learning tasks and to share promptly and effectively their learning outcomes with classmates Junior form students attending Liberal Studies Integrated Science and Computer Literacy periods would also often find themselves learning lively and actively through ipads
Furthermore junior form students had also come across with a new learning experience in their Language across Curriculum lessons with
subjects like English Mathematics History Geography and Integrated Science Learning with the tailor-made cross-curricular materials which include innovative worksheets as well as interactive games and activities students found it marvelous as their study of the English language and the subject content of Mathematics Science and Humanities could reinforce each other
Drama education was introduced as a new element in the English learning of junior form students with the hope that this integration of the
lsquodramarsquo elements in the English periods would make the lessons more impressive and appealing to students while students could learn in a more creative and interactive way the listening writing reading and speaking skills in the learning of the language
Junior form students had also got used to making use of cooperative learning in class to help maximize their learning effectiveness and outcomes
especially in lessons of English Liberal Studies History and Geography For senior form students there was still a strong tendency for them to take less than three elective subjects in their NSS study In this school year
after their application for dropping elective subjects had been approved after the last Final Examination there are now 58 students in S5 and 92 students in S6 studying less than three elective subjects Meanwhile there are already 11 students in S4 studying only two elective subjects many were S4 repeaters who could only take two elective subjects for their study Moreover there are only 7 students (out of 37) still studied M1 in S6 while a total of 18 (out of 36) had withdrawn their study of M2
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014
- 22 -
With the growing dropping rate of M1 and M2 in S5 and S6 there would only be a class of students admitted to S4 this year given the opportunity to study the Mathematics extensions but this study would only take place after they have been promoted to S5 In the meantime those S6 and S5 students who had withdrawn their study of an elective subject had still to attend supplementary Chinese and English lessons two periods for each language per cycle in the first term or the second term respectively For other spare periods these students had to conduct their self-directed learning in the school library while class and subject teachers were well aware of giving them more and better support through guidance or providing them with more supplementary work or exercises Those students who had withdrawn from studying the Mathematics extension parts had to attend supplementary Mathematics (Core) lessons to concentrate on improving their performance in the subject
Senior form students could also have other learning experiences within their normal lessons like Religious Education lessons for Moral amp Civic
Education PE lessons for Physical Development Career Education lessons in S4 for Career-Related Experiences as well as Aesthetic Development lessons For Career Education though it was not included as normal lessons in S5 and S6 it had still been implemented for the students as immersed programmes conducted in class teachersrsquo periods or assembly time for S5 and S6
Besides learning through the formal curriculum in classrooms students also learned without boundaries outside the classroom They took part
actively in the Cross-curricular Learning Day learning across subject boundaries in the form of thematic study like lsquoThe Changing Face of Centralrsquo (S1) lsquoWhatrsquos on the Menursquo (S2) lsquoField Study in Kingrsquos Parkrsquo (S3) lsquoLearning Positive Traits from Famous Peoplersquo (S4) and lsquoWorking Realityrsquo (S5) Moreover students enjoyed something like a knowledge carnival in the re-organized Inter-House General Quiz when both the House teams and the House members as audience were asked of questions from all the subjects they studied
Students also learned in a lively and creative way and gained significantly when they participated in some exchange or interflow activities or
attended the various enrichment or enhancement courses organized by the school or when they acquired other learning experiences outside the classroom
Students were given the opportunities to learn in other schools when they joined in some student interflow schemes like the Local Student
Exchange Scheme co-organized with Hong Kong True Light Middle School on April 1-3 2014 as well as with Queen Elizabeth School on April 9-10 2014 Students had also twice the time to have interflows with students from Guangzhou True Light Middle School on November 6-7 2013 and April 30 2014 Students who had become buddies of the student visitors from other schools could have especially gone through some brand new and unforgettable learning experiences
The Capacity Enhancement Grant (CEG) and the Diversity Learning (DLG) were well made use of to provide students with extra support to
further enrich their knowledge to enhance better their learning capacity and develop deeper their interests and skills Through CEG there were Enrichment Courses for S1-S3 Gifted Students in Mathematics an Interactive Drama Performance Course for S2 students Drama Courses to enhance S4 and S5 students in their English Learning Chinese Debating Courses for S2 to S4 students Physics Courses on lsquoArchitecture amp Mechanicsrsquo and lsquoElectromagnetismrsquo biotechnology experiments for Biology students in senior forms a Beginner Digital Photography Course and Student TV Training Course Through DLG there included a Learning English through Debating Extension Course a Learning English through Social Issues and Pop Culture Extension Course workshops on Chinese writing and composition Biology courses on lsquoForensic Sciencersquo and lsquoBiotechnology Experimentsrsquo and Mathematics and Liberal Studies enhancement courses for NSS students
Studentsrsquo knowledge horizons were also broadened when they participated in a variety of extra-curricular or co-curricular activities like visits
field trips and study tours abroad like to Singapore in January 2014 on Environmental Historical Cultural and English studies to mainland China (Beijing) for Cultural Studies and to Taiwan on Music Interfow Different subject panels had also worked through their respective academic societies to provide various innovative life-wide learning activities to arouse studentsrsquo interests and to enhance their ability in learning the disciplines Talks of academics or scholars had also been organized to help arouse studentsrsquo social consciousness and academic concerns

32 Teaching Strategies Our teachers had been incessantly acquiring and attempting to put into practice different kinds of teaching strategies to cater for the various
learning needs of our students in order to help them achieve the best learning outcomes Teachers always took up the role of facilitators in classrooms focusing at constructing an interactive classroom in order to arouse studentsrsquo learning motivation and help encourage their proactive learning Students were provided with various stimuli to help their learning like providing them with different scenarios to inspire them to explore every possible method to solve problems asking them graded and high order thinking questions to enhance their creativity and critical thinking skills and giving them carefully designed differentiated and challenging tasks to enrich their useful and meaningful learning opportunities in classrooms Teachers also provided timely and constructive feedbacks and compliments to students as recognition and reinforcement of their learning outcomes
Teachers also tended to have frequent applications of various information technology techniques and devices like the computing systems
visualizers ipads as well as the electronic whiteboards with the simultaneous response system to help reinforce their teaching strategies in creating a more interactive and effective learning environment to make learning and teaching more effective Teachers had been looking into the possibility of making a wider use of e-learning strategies like providing students with e-learning packages and resources through the eClass platform introducing e-textbooks to students and subscribing for them i-books for self-directed learning The first task had been taken for a few years while the other two tasks were still put under study
To improve the teaching strategies on catering for learning diversities our school had joined with other schools in the Learning Circle of Catering
for Learning Diversities organized by EDB to keep an interflow of related ideas and strategies with other schools The school had also participated in the research on ldquoHong Kong In-service Teachersrsquo Self-efficacy and Readiness for Differentiated Instruction for Diverse Learnersrsquo organized by the Faculty of Education of The Chinese University of Hong Kong in order to have a better understanding on the preparedness and readiness of our teachers at catering for learning diversities
Our teachers had also engaged themselves in an active sharing of teaching strategies as they contributed proactively their articles to the
publication of a Collection of Teaching Recollections of Teachers of True Light Girlsrsquo College called lsquoTrue Light Sharingrsquo in the last school year As seen from the four sections in the book teachers of different subjects shared with their colleagues and teachers of other schools their teaching plans lesson tips glowing new ideas in teaching as well as some teaching reflections
Teachers had been actively making use of the Collaborative Teaching Scheme and the Common Free Periods to work together and to learn from
each other for the purpose of refining and further developing their teaching strategies Through the Collaborative Teaching Scheme teachers teaching the same subjects or within the same KLA worked in teams each consisting of two or three teachers to work out and implement together some teaching plans with peer lesson observation and evaluation Specific attention was paid to develop teaching strategies for cross-curricular and cooperative learning while the scheming of student-oriented lessons to enhance active student involvement and learning autonomy was also emphasized with concerns for provoking high-order thinking and catering for learning diversities Common free periods were arranged when setting the timetables for teachers of English Chinese Mathematics and NSS Liberal Studies at each level to enhance their professional teaching collaboration in their lesson preparation and implementation Other subject teachers had mostly taken their own initiative to arrange for themselves the same practice for their professional sharing and development
To further enhance the effectiveness of our teaching strategies in order to bring about satisfactory learning outcomes of students it is still
necessary for our teachers to acquire improve and implement the teaching strategies concerning catering for learning diversities of high achievers low achievers as well as students with special education needs Steps have also to be taken to tailor-make the curriculum of different subjects for meaningful cross-curricular learning Cooperative learning should still be widely practiced not just in junior forms and for only some subjects More importantly teachers should acquire more knowledge and skills in fostering studentsrsquo self-directed learning which includes the use of teaching strategies to facilitate the e-learning and mobile learning of students

33 Assessment Studentsrsquo academic performance and learning outcomes had been continuously assessed by different modes of homework assignments quizzes
term tests and examinations Assessment for learning was greatly emphasized when giving students homework assignments to help consolidate their subject knowledge and
what they had learned in classroom Assignments which included various kinds like workbooks worksheets essay writing surveys projects case studies reports book reviews and newspaper cuttings etc were duly designed with diversified tasks and questions of varied difficulties Improvement could still be made in designing assignments to cater better for studentsrsquo diversified learning needs to adopt wider modes of assessment like self peer and parent assessments and to help students to conduct their self-directed study
To help students to put great emphasis on doing well their homework in order to consolidate their learning outcomes the Homework Submission
Scheme was adopted and implemented in these recent years to make students do and submit their homework assignments properly Together with the homework policies of different subject panels which often included mark deduction for late submission of assignments students had become more punctual and orderly in their homework submission To further encourage students to do well their homework assignments in order to achieve satisfactory learning outcomes the Most Outstanding Homework Performance Award Scheme was still carried out and a total of 44 and 52 students were awarded in the first term and the second term respectively
To have a better supervision from the school management and the subject panel heads on homework assignments to students including the
content and marking of the assignments the assignment inspection policy was carried out which required the subject panel heads to supervise the panel members over their making use of homework assignments in achieving their teaching objectives Panel heads could make use of the standard record forms of assignment inspection to see into the quality and the quantity of the assignments given by teachers and to evaluate the marking of the teachers and the ways they gave the comments and feedbacks The subject panel heads also had to submit their studentsrsquo assignments to the school management for the same kind of inspection
Besides assessment assignments studentsrsquo annual academic performance in school was formally assessed through tests and examinations
which made up the term marks and the examination marks of studentsrsquo annual scores respectively There were two examinations for each level of students every year For tests there were at least two assessments (testassignmentproject) for each subject within each term For junior forms there should be at least one test in the first term and preferably two tests in the second term while for senior forms the two assessments each term should be tests
The New Senior Secondary Curriculum provided teachers with great challenges in different aspects including assessment Teachers had been
especially careful to be accurate in using the standard referencing system to assess students on the levels they attained in different assessments and different subjects Two attempts were still made in the last school year to help teachers to conduct their level marking more confidently The first was to keep joining the HKDSE Mock Examination Papers Exchange Scheme organized by the Association of Principals of Secondary Schools of the Hong Kong Council of the Church of Christ in China Subject teachers who had joined the Scheme found it very helpful to conduct level marking by taking the marking criteria set by other schools as reference and examples The other attempt was to predict for students their levels of attainment in different subjects after the S6 Mid-year Examination and students were given their predicted grades on S6 Parentsrsquo Day as a way to help the students as well as their parents to prepare better for the Mock Examination and HKDSE The school joined for the second time the Pilot Study on Predicted Levels of 2014 Core Subjects (CEML) conducted by the Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority to study on the reliability of our prediction of

studentsrsquo CEML subjects to evaluate teachersrsquo accuracy in level marking while reliable predicted grades will be useful for managing the expectation of students and their parents The School Report of the pilot study showed that there was a satisfactorily high correlation between the predicted grades awarded by our teachers to students and the actual level attained by students in 2014 HKDSE showing that teachers had a good understanding and knowledge on standard referencing and their level marking performance was very reliable
To match much better the level attainment system adopted by the New Senior Secondary Curriculum with the traditional marking system which
was revealed in studentsrsquo Academic Reports it was decided that the passing mark in senior form subjects would be changed from 50 to 40 of the total mark Such a change could also better reflect the possible level attainment obtained by students in HKDSE
Teachers were also very cautious in taking sophisticated procedures in conducting the School-based Assessment in the New Senior Secondary
Curriculum Students were assessed on the same tasks and with the same assessment criteria To achieve this students were given common SBA tasks across classes and the same standard of assessment The same criteria for awarding marks to all students were applied and in doing so consultation among teachers to align the marking criteria was often conducted and trial marking of samples of studentsrsquo work was constantly carried out Marks given were adjusted whenever necessary to ensure consistence of assessment standard Reference materials and archive materials were used to help standardizing marking Proper and sufficient guidance and supervision was provided to students to ensure the quality and authenticity of their work There was feedback and advice on improvement to students after the completion of marking to provide them with a fruitful learning experience

To promote self-directed learning through reading a more enriched reading atmosphere in school should still be enhanced Students should be much encouraged to make good use of the prescribed reading lists for their self-directed academic pursuit by asking them to provide diffused information acquired from prescribed readings to accomplish their assignments or by giving them bonus term marks Persistent efforts in finding and subscribing suitable ibooks for students should still be attempted to facilitate studentsrsquo self-direct learning
The increasing needs in catering for studentsrsquo learning diversities require both the school and the teachers to take more appropriate actions teachers should further develop a better awareness of the importance of catering for learner differences as both effective and
indispensable in helping all students not just the low achievers they should be encouraged to participate actively in learning circles of teachers of the same or other schools to develop suitable and effective strategies to be applied in classrooms for the purpose
the school should take steps to look into the real situation of learning diversities of our students and to work out school-based policies and development programmes to equip the school and the teachers with the necessary knowledge and strategies to enhance studentsrsquo learning through catering for their learning diversities
both the teachers and school should also prepare themselves to provide help and support to those students with special education needs who have been growing in number in recent years
Based on the contemporary success in making use of cross-curricular learning to enhance studentsrsquo learning effectiveness some better measures could still be taken to enrich and improve the Cross Curricular Learning Day activities to refine the attempts at developing and implementing the Language Across Curriculum and to working out a practical school-based curriculum for cross-curricular learning the Cross-curricular Learning Day in providing students with task-oriented or theme-based leaning opportunities should also
integrate other ingredients to develop students as effective learners like learning outside the classroom and enhancing their skills in e-learning mobile learning as well as self-directed learning
cross-curricular learning through Language Across Curriculum should include not just English with History Geography Mathematics and Integrated Science but also with all other EMI academic subjects so that both the language and the academic subjects could reinforce one another in studentsrsquo learning and there should be better coordination to facilitate teachersrsquo cooperation and to incorporate well the LAC lessons into the teaching schedules of the subjects concerned
subject panels should be much encouraged and supported to review their curricula to identify suitable topics and themes for cross-curricular learning in order to work out the school-based tailor-made cross-curricular learning curricula
Cooperative learning should still be further enforced especially in junior forms in order to familiarize students in the earliest stage of the secondary school study with the unique learning skills and styles and teachers should still be much encouraged and facilitated to widely practice cooperative learning by providing them with the necessary materials needed for cooperative learning requiring them to work with each other in collaborative teaching to work out and implement the teaching plans with cooperative learning elements and asking them to start with the junior forms to try out the strategies for cooperative learning

Section of EDB the Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education local tertiary institutions and universities was carried out smoothly A leadership training programme was successfully organized in August 2014 for potential student leaders All S4 students were assigned to join The Hong Kong Award for Young People (AYP) which is a scheme promoting all-round
development and exploring ones talent and potential One committee member teacher was assigned to each of the 4 classes to monitor students completion of the scheme
Two talks were held for students throughout the year One aimed at informing S4 students of the rationale and implementation of AYP Another one is for S2 and S3 students introducing the rationale of talent pool and how students should go all out to develop their talents
On teachers level Teachers were invited to contribute to the development of talent pool During the process they were introduced the definition of
giftedness and some selective criteria of gifted students
On parents level Mr Patrick Lam Associate Director of the Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education was invited to be the guest speaker of a seminar for
parents on Parents Day in February The talk introduced the ideas of giftedness and it received positive responses from the parents

232 Reflection
The goals set were achieved well in the previous academic year It is deemed that improvements on certain areas of the Committee could be made for future development of gifted education in breadth and depth All members of the group should have a basic and unanimous understanding as to how gifted education is defined and how its
development is implemented on the school level It is time for all members to receive further training provided by the Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education Core members of the group should receive more advanced training especially on the administrative level More meetings and informal exchanges should take place for achieving such an aim
With the development of the talent pool it should be introduced to all teaching staff thoroughly so that they are more aware of its existence and use
AYP is to be implemented in both S4 and S5 Last year the completion rate of the scheme was not satisfactory as teachers in charge found it difficult to monitor students progress frequently and regularly Next year AYP ambassadors will be assigned in all S4 and S5 classes It is hoped that they can facilitate the monitoring work as well as the promotional work of relevant activities
Gifted education in classroom is one of the concerns of the Committee A staff development programme regarding high-order thinking skills is to be held in next year helping teachers familiarize themselves with how such skills can be developed among students in classroom
24 Career Education Enrichment
241 Achievements This is the second year of the 5-year School Development Plan 2012-2017 This is a good opportunity for students teachers and parents to understand the importance of career education for the student development through organizing and participating in different programmes This year a wide variety of programmes were organized for all stakeholders to be equipped in career education These should be helpful for students to pursue their own goals with the support from their parents and teachers On enhancing professional development of teachers on career education a staff development programme on Implementation of Career Education in Secondary School was organized for all teachers on 6

career knowledge and experiences Subject panels provided a wide variety of activities to inspire students for the pursuit of their further study and career opportunities such
as visiting RTHK attending a CEO talk from KCS and a public lecture on ldquoExplore the World of Medicinerdquo Some students found the participation in the OLE activities inspired them in setting up their own goals Reflections on goal set up for
study and career can be seen in S6 studentsrsquo Student Learning Profile and the OEA
242 Reflection The school has been promoting career education to the stakeholders at school Even though there were difficulties in the implementation phase it was a good start Some teachers may not fully understand the importance of career education to all students More professional development on career
guidance should be provided to teachers so that they will be better equipped for providing more comprehensive support to the students More CRE activities were organized but the teachers could better help the students to consolidate their learning and relate their
experiences to career planning so as to arouse studentsrsquo awareness to the importance of career planning For the Career Education Curriculum it would be introduced in S3 in 2014-2015 Students could have an earlier awareness which can
help them make a more informed choice for their study and career

3 Learning and Teaching 31 Learning Experiences
Our students have been with pride and perseverance putting the call of the School Mission into their daily learning as they always tend to lsquothink
independentlyrsquo and lsquolearn proactivelyrsquo in their academic pursuit Taking such approaches in learning both in and outside the classroom students find that they could make the most out of their various learning experiences as they striving for the best academic performance
Through their daily learning in classroom students did not just acquire knowledge subject-wise while developing their various generic skills they
could also learn to treasure important universal values when they came across the core elements in value education including moral civic and environmental education which had been immerged with the different subjects they studied These invaluable learning experiences could help students establish correct and positive attitudes towards life which is very useful for them to live and enrich their everyday life and to foster their whole person development
Students became very effective learners in and outside the classroom with the help of information technology When in classrooms students
were highly engaged in each lesson with teachers making the frequent use of various information technology devices like the computing system the electronic whiteboard the Simultaneous Response System and the overhead projector as well as different audio-visual aids to enrich their learning experiences Students could also make use of various e-learning provisions in school to conduct their own self-directed learning outside the classroom In recent years students could study with the e-learning packages uploaded to the eClass platform by their subject teachers and conduct their private study with the help of the computer in the Computer Room Since last Easter students could also use ipads for their self-directed study in the newly-established E-Learning Centre
Junior form studentsrsquo learning in classrooms was also much facilitated with some new ingredients inserted in their lessons For instance students
in S1 and S2 could learn with ipads in English lessons to accomplish their learning tasks and to share promptly and effectively their learning outcomes with classmates Junior form students attending Liberal Studies Integrated Science and Computer Literacy periods would also often find themselves learning lively and actively through ipads
Furthermore junior form students had also come across with a new learning experience in their Language across Curriculum lessons with
subjects like English Mathematics History Geography and Integrated Science Learning with the tailor-made cross-curricular materials which include innovative worksheets as well as interactive games and activities students found it marvelous as their study of the English language and the subject content of Mathematics Science and Humanities could reinforce each other
Drama education was introduced as a new element in the English learning of junior form students with the hope that this integration of the
lsquodramarsquo elements in the English periods would make the lessons more impressive and appealing to students while students could learn in a more creative and interactive way the listening writing reading and speaking skills in the learning of the language
Junior form students had also got used to making use of cooperative learning in class to help maximize their learning effectiveness and outcomes
especially in lessons of English Liberal Studies History and Geography For senior form students there was still a strong tendency for them to take less than three elective subjects in their NSS study In this school year
after their application for dropping elective subjects had been approved after the last Final Examination there are now 58 students in S5 and 92 students in S6 studying less than three elective subjects Meanwhile there are already 11 students in S4 studying only two elective subjects many were S4 repeaters who could only take two elective subjects for their study Moreover there are only 7 students (out of 37) still studied M1 in S6 while a total of 18 (out of 36) had withdrawn their study of M2
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014
- 22 -
With the growing dropping rate of M1 and M2 in S5 and S6 there would only be a class of students admitted to S4 this year given the opportunity to study the Mathematics extensions but this study would only take place after they have been promoted to S5 In the meantime those S6 and S5 students who had withdrawn their study of an elective subject had still to attend supplementary Chinese and English lessons two periods for each language per cycle in the first term or the second term respectively For other spare periods these students had to conduct their self-directed learning in the school library while class and subject teachers were well aware of giving them more and better support through guidance or providing them with more supplementary work or exercises Those students who had withdrawn from studying the Mathematics extension parts had to attend supplementary Mathematics (Core) lessons to concentrate on improving their performance in the subject
Senior form students could also have other learning experiences within their normal lessons like Religious Education lessons for Moral amp Civic
Education PE lessons for Physical Development Career Education lessons in S4 for Career-Related Experiences as well as Aesthetic Development lessons For Career Education though it was not included as normal lessons in S5 and S6 it had still been implemented for the students as immersed programmes conducted in class teachersrsquo periods or assembly time for S5 and S6
Besides learning through the formal curriculum in classrooms students also learned without boundaries outside the classroom They took part
actively in the Cross-curricular Learning Day learning across subject boundaries in the form of thematic study like lsquoThe Changing Face of Centralrsquo (S1) lsquoWhatrsquos on the Menursquo (S2) lsquoField Study in Kingrsquos Parkrsquo (S3) lsquoLearning Positive Traits from Famous Peoplersquo (S4) and lsquoWorking Realityrsquo (S5) Moreover students enjoyed something like a knowledge carnival in the re-organized Inter-House General Quiz when both the House teams and the House members as audience were asked of questions from all the subjects they studied
Students also learned in a lively and creative way and gained significantly when they participated in some exchange or interflow activities or
attended the various enrichment or enhancement courses organized by the school or when they acquired other learning experiences outside the classroom
Students were given the opportunities to learn in other schools when they joined in some student interflow schemes like the Local Student
Exchange Scheme co-organized with Hong Kong True Light Middle School on April 1-3 2014 as well as with Queen Elizabeth School on April 9-10 2014 Students had also twice the time to have interflows with students from Guangzhou True Light Middle School on November 6-7 2013 and April 30 2014 Students who had become buddies of the student visitors from other schools could have especially gone through some brand new and unforgettable learning experiences
The Capacity Enhancement Grant (CEG) and the Diversity Learning (DLG) were well made use of to provide students with extra support to
further enrich their knowledge to enhance better their learning capacity and develop deeper their interests and skills Through CEG there were Enrichment Courses for S1-S3 Gifted Students in Mathematics an Interactive Drama Performance Course for S2 students Drama Courses to enhance S4 and S5 students in their English Learning Chinese Debating Courses for S2 to S4 students Physics Courses on lsquoArchitecture amp Mechanicsrsquo and lsquoElectromagnetismrsquo biotechnology experiments for Biology students in senior forms a Beginner Digital Photography Course and Student TV Training Course Through DLG there included a Learning English through Debating Extension Course a Learning English through Social Issues and Pop Culture Extension Course workshops on Chinese writing and composition Biology courses on lsquoForensic Sciencersquo and lsquoBiotechnology Experimentsrsquo and Mathematics and Liberal Studies enhancement courses for NSS students
Studentsrsquo knowledge horizons were also broadened when they participated in a variety of extra-curricular or co-curricular activities like visits
field trips and study tours abroad like to Singapore in January 2014 on Environmental Historical Cultural and English studies to mainland China (Beijing) for Cultural Studies and to Taiwan on Music Interfow Different subject panels had also worked through their respective academic societies to provide various innovative life-wide learning activities to arouse studentsrsquo interests and to enhance their ability in learning the disciplines Talks of academics or scholars had also been organized to help arouse studentsrsquo social consciousness and academic concerns

32 Teaching Strategies Our teachers had been incessantly acquiring and attempting to put into practice different kinds of teaching strategies to cater for the various
learning needs of our students in order to help them achieve the best learning outcomes Teachers always took up the role of facilitators in classrooms focusing at constructing an interactive classroom in order to arouse studentsrsquo learning motivation and help encourage their proactive learning Students were provided with various stimuli to help their learning like providing them with different scenarios to inspire them to explore every possible method to solve problems asking them graded and high order thinking questions to enhance their creativity and critical thinking skills and giving them carefully designed differentiated and challenging tasks to enrich their useful and meaningful learning opportunities in classrooms Teachers also provided timely and constructive feedbacks and compliments to students as recognition and reinforcement of their learning outcomes
Teachers also tended to have frequent applications of various information technology techniques and devices like the computing systems
visualizers ipads as well as the electronic whiteboards with the simultaneous response system to help reinforce their teaching strategies in creating a more interactive and effective learning environment to make learning and teaching more effective Teachers had been looking into the possibility of making a wider use of e-learning strategies like providing students with e-learning packages and resources through the eClass platform introducing e-textbooks to students and subscribing for them i-books for self-directed learning The first task had been taken for a few years while the other two tasks were still put under study
To improve the teaching strategies on catering for learning diversities our school had joined with other schools in the Learning Circle of Catering
for Learning Diversities organized by EDB to keep an interflow of related ideas and strategies with other schools The school had also participated in the research on ldquoHong Kong In-service Teachersrsquo Self-efficacy and Readiness for Differentiated Instruction for Diverse Learnersrsquo organized by the Faculty of Education of The Chinese University of Hong Kong in order to have a better understanding on the preparedness and readiness of our teachers at catering for learning diversities
Our teachers had also engaged themselves in an active sharing of teaching strategies as they contributed proactively their articles to the
publication of a Collection of Teaching Recollections of Teachers of True Light Girlsrsquo College called lsquoTrue Light Sharingrsquo in the last school year As seen from the four sections in the book teachers of different subjects shared with their colleagues and teachers of other schools their teaching plans lesson tips glowing new ideas in teaching as well as some teaching reflections
Teachers had been actively making use of the Collaborative Teaching Scheme and the Common Free Periods to work together and to learn from
each other for the purpose of refining and further developing their teaching strategies Through the Collaborative Teaching Scheme teachers teaching the same subjects or within the same KLA worked in teams each consisting of two or three teachers to work out and implement together some teaching plans with peer lesson observation and evaluation Specific attention was paid to develop teaching strategies for cross-curricular and cooperative learning while the scheming of student-oriented lessons to enhance active student involvement and learning autonomy was also emphasized with concerns for provoking high-order thinking and catering for learning diversities Common free periods were arranged when setting the timetables for teachers of English Chinese Mathematics and NSS Liberal Studies at each level to enhance their professional teaching collaboration in their lesson preparation and implementation Other subject teachers had mostly taken their own initiative to arrange for themselves the same practice for their professional sharing and development
To further enhance the effectiveness of our teaching strategies in order to bring about satisfactory learning outcomes of students it is still
necessary for our teachers to acquire improve and implement the teaching strategies concerning catering for learning diversities of high achievers low achievers as well as students with special education needs Steps have also to be taken to tailor-make the curriculum of different subjects for meaningful cross-curricular learning Cooperative learning should still be widely practiced not just in junior forms and for only some subjects More importantly teachers should acquire more knowledge and skills in fostering studentsrsquo self-directed learning which includes the use of teaching strategies to facilitate the e-learning and mobile learning of students
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014

33 Assessment Studentsrsquo academic performance and learning outcomes had been continuously assessed by different modes of homework assignments quizzes
term tests and examinations Assessment for learning was greatly emphasized when giving students homework assignments to help consolidate their subject knowledge and
what they had learned in classroom Assignments which included various kinds like workbooks worksheets essay writing surveys projects case studies reports book reviews and newspaper cuttings etc were duly designed with diversified tasks and questions of varied difficulties Improvement could still be made in designing assignments to cater better for studentsrsquo diversified learning needs to adopt wider modes of assessment like self peer and parent assessments and to help students to conduct their self-directed study
To help students to put great emphasis on doing well their homework in order to consolidate their learning outcomes the Homework Submission
Scheme was adopted and implemented in these recent years to make students do and submit their homework assignments properly Together with the homework policies of different subject panels which often included mark deduction for late submission of assignments students had become more punctual and orderly in their homework submission To further encourage students to do well their homework assignments in order to achieve satisfactory learning outcomes the Most Outstanding Homework Performance Award Scheme was still carried out and a total of 44 and 52 students were awarded in the first term and the second term respectively
To have a better supervision from the school management and the subject panel heads on homework assignments to students including the
content and marking of the assignments the assignment inspection policy was carried out which required the subject panel heads to supervise the panel members over their making use of homework assignments in achieving their teaching objectives Panel heads could make use of the standard record forms of assignment inspection to see into the quality and the quantity of the assignments given by teachers and to evaluate the marking of the teachers and the ways they gave the comments and feedbacks The subject panel heads also had to submit their studentsrsquo assignments to the school management for the same kind of inspection
Besides assessment assignments studentsrsquo annual academic performance in school was formally assessed through tests and examinations
which made up the term marks and the examination marks of studentsrsquo annual scores respectively There were two examinations for each level of students every year For tests there were at least two assessments (testassignmentproject) for each subject within each term For junior forms there should be at least one test in the first term and preferably two tests in the second term while for senior forms the two assessments each term should be tests
The New Senior Secondary Curriculum provided teachers with great challenges in different aspects including assessment Teachers had been
especially careful to be accurate in using the standard referencing system to assess students on the levels they attained in different assessments and different subjects Two attempts were still made in the last school year to help teachers to conduct their level marking more confidently The first was to keep joining the HKDSE Mock Examination Papers Exchange Scheme organized by the Association of Principals of Secondary Schools of the Hong Kong Council of the Church of Christ in China Subject teachers who had joined the Scheme found it very helpful to conduct level marking by taking the marking criteria set by other schools as reference and examples The other attempt was to predict for students their levels of attainment in different subjects after the S6 Mid-year Examination and students were given their predicted grades on S6 Parentsrsquo Day as a way to help the students as well as their parents to prepare better for the Mock Examination and HKDSE The school joined for the second time the Pilot Study on Predicted Levels of 2014 Core Subjects (CEML) conducted by the Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority to study on the reliability of our prediction of
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014
- 25 -
studentsrsquo CEML subjects to evaluate teachersrsquo accuracy in level marking while reliable predicted grades will be useful for managing the expectation of students and their parents The School Report of the pilot study showed that there was a satisfactorily high correlation between the predicted grades awarded by our teachers to students and the actual level attained by students in 2014 HKDSE showing that teachers had a good understanding and knowledge on standard referencing and their level marking performance was very reliable
To match much better the level attainment system adopted by the New Senior Secondary Curriculum with the traditional marking system which
was revealed in studentsrsquo Academic Reports it was decided that the passing mark in senior form subjects would be changed from 50 to 40 of the total mark Such a change could also better reflect the possible level attainment obtained by students in HKDSE
Teachers were also very cautious in taking sophisticated procedures in conducting the School-based Assessment in the New Senior Secondary
Curriculum Students were assessed on the same tasks and with the same assessment criteria To achieve this students were given common SBA tasks across classes and the same standard of assessment The same criteria for awarding marks to all students were applied and in doing so consultation among teachers to align the marking criteria was often conducted and trial marking of samples of studentsrsquo work was constantly carried out Marks given were adjusted whenever necessary to ensure consistence of assessment standard Reference materials and archive materials were used to help standardizing marking Proper and sufficient guidance and supervision was provided to students to ensure the quality and authenticity of their work There was feedback and advice on improvement to students after the completion of marking to provide them with a fruitful learning experience

23 Gifted Education Development
231 Achievements With sufficient preparatory work in the previous year this academic year saw the progressive development of gifted education in True Light Girls College With concerted efforts of the Committee members new initiatives were raised and relevant issues and concerns were explored On the administrative level The Gifted Education Committee was officially formed The committee set up gifted education policy and implemented certain projects in
the year Aiming to identify students gifted in different domains and provide suitable learning opportunities for them talent pools in S2 and S3 were
set up focusing on performance of eight domains namely Chinese English Mathematics Science Music Physical Education Art and Leadership In each domain of each form 16 students were selected as gifted by respective subject teachers or class teachers The talent pools were made accessible for all teachers so that all of them could identify gifted students in certain domains when necessary
Towards the end of the academic year talent pools were updated for the new academic year A system was developed for managing the ongoing pull-out programmes The system categorized the running programmes concerned
on subject-based criteria On students level In this year the nomination process of students to join off-site enrichment and extension programmes provided by Gifted Education
Section of EDB the Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education local tertiary institutions and universities was carried out smoothly A leadership training programme was successfully organized in August 2014 for potential student leaders All S4 students were assigned to join The Hong Kong Award for Young People (AYP) which is a scheme promoting all-round
development and exploring ones talent and potential One committee member teacher was assigned to each of the 4 classes to monitor students completion of the scheme
Two talks were held for students throughout the year One aimed at informing S4 students of the rationale and implementation of AYP Another one is for S2 and S3 students introducing the rationale of talent pool and how students should go all out to develop their talents
On teachers level Teachers were invited to contribute to the development of talent pool During the process they were introduced the definition of
giftedness and some selective criteria of gifted students
On parents level Mr Patrick Lam Associate Director of the Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education was invited to be the guest speaker of a seminar for
parents on Parents Day in February The talk introduced the ideas of giftedness and it received positive responses from the parents

232 Reflection
The goals set were achieved well in the previous academic year It is deemed that improvements on certain areas of the Committee could be made for future development of gifted education in breadth and depth All members of the group should have a basic and unanimous understanding as to how gifted education is defined and how its
development is implemented on the school level It is time for all members to receive further training provided by the Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education Core members of the group should receive more advanced training especially on the administrative level More meetings and informal exchanges should take place for achieving such an aim
With the development of the talent pool it should be introduced to all teaching staff thoroughly so that they are more aware of its existence and use
AYP is to be implemented in both S4 and S5 Last year the completion rate of the scheme was not satisfactory as teachers in charge found it difficult to monitor students progress frequently and regularly Next year AYP ambassadors will be assigned in all S4 and S5 classes It is hoped that they can facilitate the monitoring work as well as the promotional work of relevant activities
Gifted education in classroom is one of the concerns of the Committee A staff development programme regarding high-order thinking skills is to be held in next year helping teachers familiarize themselves with how such skills can be developed among students in classroom
24 Career Education Enrichment
241 Achievements This is the second year of the 5-year School Development Plan 2012-2017 This is a good opportunity for students teachers and parents to understand the importance of career education for the student development through organizing and participating in different programmes This year a wide variety of programmes were organized for all stakeholders to be equipped in career education These should be helpful for students to pursue their own goals with the support from their parents and teachers On enhancing professional development of teachers on career education a staff development programme on Implementation of Career Education in Secondary School was organized for all teachers on 6
January 2014 We invited Dr Ho Yuk Fan the Vice Chairperson of The Hong Kong Association of Careers Masters and Guidance Masters to share the latest information in Career Guidance The teachers were very positive to the programme
A workshop was particularly designed for Career Guidance teachers to understand more about the use of the Career Interest Inventory on 14 March 2014
In addition a professional exchange between Methodist College and us was held on 10 April 2014 Ways for effective implementation of the career guidance programmes at school were shared
The Career Guidance Committee attended a talk on how to use the CLP Grant on 27 February 2014

On equipping senior form students for their planning of future career Based on the student evaluation collected last year the S4 curriculum was modified so that more group discussion was introduced
Students could be more involved in the lessons To supplement the formal lessons lots of activities were arranged for S4 students These included Goal Setting Workshop Simulation
Game 踏步大未來生涯規劃工作坊 Mr Work (Simulation) visits to Chow Tai Fook Immigration Service Institute of Training amp

On arousing the awareness of the importance of career planning in junior forms
Programmes were designed for all junior form levels For S3 there were money management workshop Subject Choice Workshop 財
智 GOAL飛 Workshop S2 was Career Planning Workshop There were also Career Quiz for S1 to S3 students
True Light Bonds was one of the most important programmes for S1 and S4 students designed by the Career Guidance Committee Both S1 and S4 students were given an opportunity to brainstorm their future career they would like to pursue
Japanese and Korean Culture Workshops visits to RTHK and Chinese Cuisine Training Institute were arranged to widen studentsrsquo exposures
On helping students set clear goals on future study and career The QEF project was completed on 30 April 2014 Programmes were arranged for students teachers and parents to enrich their
career knowledge and experiences Subject panels provided a wide variety of activities to inspire students for the pursuit of their further study and career opportunities such
as visiting RTHK attending a CEO talk from KCS and a public lecture on ldquoExplore the World of Medicinerdquo Some students found the participation in the OLE activities inspired them in setting up their own goals Reflections on goal set up for
study and career can be seen in S6 studentsrsquo Student Learning Profile and the OEA
242 Reflection The school has been promoting career education to the stakeholders at school Even though there were difficulties in the implementation phase it was a good start Some teachers may not fully understand the importance of career education to all students More professional development on career
guidance should be provided to teachers so that they will be better equipped for providing more comprehensive support to the students More CRE activities were organized but the teachers could better help the students to consolidate their learning and relate their
experiences to career planning so as to arouse studentsrsquo awareness to the importance of career planning For the Career Education Curriculum it would be introduced in S3 in 2014-2015 Students could have an earlier awareness which can
help them make a more informed choice for their study and career

3 Learning and Teaching 31 Learning Experiences
Our students have been with pride and perseverance putting the call of the School Mission into their daily learning as they always tend to lsquothink
independentlyrsquo and lsquolearn proactivelyrsquo in their academic pursuit Taking such approaches in learning both in and outside the classroom students find that they could make the most out of their various learning experiences as they striving for the best academic performance
Through their daily learning in classroom students did not just acquire knowledge subject-wise while developing their various generic skills they
could also learn to treasure important universal values when they came across the core elements in value education including moral civic and environmental education which had been immerged with the different subjects they studied These invaluable learning experiences could help students establish correct and positive attitudes towards life which is very useful for them to live and enrich their everyday life and to foster their whole person development
Students became very effective learners in and outside the classroom with the help of information technology When in classrooms students
were highly engaged in each lesson with teachers making the frequent use of various information technology devices like the computing system the electronic whiteboard the Simultaneous Response System and the overhead projector as well as different audio-visual aids to enrich their learning experiences Students could also make use of various e-learning provisions in school to conduct their own self-directed learning outside the classroom In recent years students could study with the e-learning packages uploaded to the eClass platform by their subject teachers and conduct their private study with the help of the computer in the Computer Room Since last Easter students could also use ipads for their self-directed study in the newly-established E-Learning Centre
Junior form studentsrsquo learning in classrooms was also much facilitated with some new ingredients inserted in their lessons For instance students
in S1 and S2 could learn with ipads in English lessons to accomplish their learning tasks and to share promptly and effectively their learning outcomes with classmates Junior form students attending Liberal Studies Integrated Science and Computer Literacy periods would also often find themselves learning lively and actively through ipads
Furthermore junior form students had also come across with a new learning experience in their Language across Curriculum lessons with
subjects like English Mathematics History Geography and Integrated Science Learning with the tailor-made cross-curricular materials which include innovative worksheets as well as interactive games and activities students found it marvelous as their study of the English language and the subject content of Mathematics Science and Humanities could reinforce each other
Drama education was introduced as a new element in the English learning of junior form students with the hope that this integration of the
lsquodramarsquo elements in the English periods would make the lessons more impressive and appealing to students while students could learn in a more creative and interactive way the listening writing reading and speaking skills in the learning of the language
Junior form students had also got used to making use of cooperative learning in class to help maximize their learning effectiveness and outcomes
especially in lessons of English Liberal Studies History and Geography For senior form students there was still a strong tendency for them to take less than three elective subjects in their NSS study In this school year
after their application for dropping elective subjects had been approved after the last Final Examination there are now 58 students in S5 and 92 students in S6 studying less than three elective subjects Meanwhile there are already 11 students in S4 studying only two elective subjects many were S4 repeaters who could only take two elective subjects for their study Moreover there are only 7 students (out of 37) still studied M1 in S6 while a total of 18 (out of 36) had withdrawn their study of M2
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014
- 22 -
With the growing dropping rate of M1 and M2 in S5 and S6 there would only be a class of students admitted to S4 this year given the opportunity to study the Mathematics extensions but this study would only take place after they have been promoted to S5 In the meantime those S6 and S5 students who had withdrawn their study of an elective subject had still to attend supplementary Chinese and English lessons two periods for each language per cycle in the first term or the second term respectively For other spare periods these students had to conduct their self-directed learning in the school library while class and subject teachers were well aware of giving them more and better support through guidance or providing them with more supplementary work or exercises Those students who had withdrawn from studying the Mathematics extension parts had to attend supplementary Mathematics (Core) lessons to concentrate on improving their performance in the subject
Senior form students could also have other learning experiences within their normal lessons like Religious Education lessons for Moral amp Civic
Education PE lessons for Physical Development Career Education lessons in S4 for Career-Related Experiences as well as Aesthetic Development lessons For Career Education though it was not included as normal lessons in S5 and S6 it had still been implemented for the students as immersed programmes conducted in class teachersrsquo periods or assembly time for S5 and S6
Besides learning through the formal curriculum in classrooms students also learned without boundaries outside the classroom They took part
actively in the Cross-curricular Learning Day learning across subject boundaries in the form of thematic study like lsquoThe Changing Face of Centralrsquo (S1) lsquoWhatrsquos on the Menursquo (S2) lsquoField Study in Kingrsquos Parkrsquo (S3) lsquoLearning Positive Traits from Famous Peoplersquo (S4) and lsquoWorking Realityrsquo (S5) Moreover students enjoyed something like a knowledge carnival in the re-organized Inter-House General Quiz when both the House teams and the House members as audience were asked of questions from all the subjects they studied
Students also learned in a lively and creative way and gained significantly when they participated in some exchange or interflow activities or
attended the various enrichment or enhancement courses organized by the school or when they acquired other learning experiences outside the classroom
Students were given the opportunities to learn in other schools when they joined in some student interflow schemes like the Local Student
Exchange Scheme co-organized with Hong Kong True Light Middle School on April 1-3 2014 as well as with Queen Elizabeth School on April 9-10 2014 Students had also twice the time to have interflows with students from Guangzhou True Light Middle School on November 6-7 2013 and April 30 2014 Students who had become buddies of the student visitors from other schools could have especially gone through some brand new and unforgettable learning experiences
The Capacity Enhancement Grant (CEG) and the Diversity Learning (DLG) were well made use of to provide students with extra support to
further enrich their knowledge to enhance better their learning capacity and develop deeper their interests and skills Through CEG there were Enrichment Courses for S1-S3 Gifted Students in Mathematics an Interactive Drama Performance Course for S2 students Drama Courses to enhance S4 and S5 students in their English Learning Chinese Debating Courses for S2 to S4 students Physics Courses on lsquoArchitecture amp Mechanicsrsquo and lsquoElectromagnetismrsquo biotechnology experiments for Biology students in senior forms a Beginner Digital Photography Course and Student TV Training Course Through DLG there included a Learning English through Debating Extension Course a Learning English through Social Issues and Pop Culture Extension Course workshops on Chinese writing and composition Biology courses on lsquoForensic Sciencersquo and lsquoBiotechnology Experimentsrsquo and Mathematics and Liberal Studies enhancement courses for NSS students
Studentsrsquo knowledge horizons were also broadened when they participated in a variety of extra-curricular or co-curricular activities like visits
field trips and study tours abroad like to Singapore in January 2014 on Environmental Historical Cultural and English studies to mainland China (Beijing) for Cultural Studies and to Taiwan on Music Interfow Different subject panels had also worked through their respective academic societies to provide various innovative life-wide learning activities to arouse studentsrsquo interests and to enhance their ability in learning the disciplines Talks of academics or scholars had also been organized to help arouse studentsrsquo social consciousness and academic concerns

32 Teaching Strategies Our teachers had been incessantly acquiring and attempting to put into practice different kinds of teaching strategies to cater for the various
learning needs of our students in order to help them achieve the best learning outcomes Teachers always took up the role of facilitators in classrooms focusing at constructing an interactive classroom in order to arouse studentsrsquo learning motivation and help encourage their proactive learning Students were provided with various stimuli to help their learning like providing them with different scenarios to inspire them to explore every possible method to solve problems asking them graded and high order thinking questions to enhance their creativity and critical thinking skills and giving them carefully designed differentiated and challenging tasks to enrich their useful and meaningful learning opportunities in classrooms Teachers also provided timely and constructive feedbacks and compliments to students as recognition and reinforcement of their learning outcomes
Teachers also tended to have frequent applications of various information technology techniques and devices like the computing systems
visualizers ipads as well as the electronic whiteboards with the simultaneous response system to help reinforce their teaching strategies in creating a more interactive and effective learning environment to make learning and teaching more effective Teachers had been looking into the possibility of making a wider use of e-learning strategies like providing students with e-learning packages and resources through the eClass platform introducing e-textbooks to students and subscribing for them i-books for self-directed learning The first task had been taken for a few years while the other two tasks were still put under study
To improve the teaching strategies on catering for learning diversities our school had joined with other schools in the Learning Circle of Catering
for Learning Diversities organized by EDB to keep an interflow of related ideas and strategies with other schools The school had also participated in the research on ldquoHong Kong In-service Teachersrsquo Self-efficacy and Readiness for Differentiated Instruction for Diverse Learnersrsquo organized by the Faculty of Education of The Chinese University of Hong Kong in order to have a better understanding on the preparedness and readiness of our teachers at catering for learning diversities
Our teachers had also engaged themselves in an active sharing of teaching strategies as they contributed proactively their articles to the
publication of a Collection of Teaching Recollections of Teachers of True Light Girlsrsquo College called lsquoTrue Light Sharingrsquo in the last school year As seen from the four sections in the book teachers of different subjects shared with their colleagues and teachers of other schools their teaching plans lesson tips glowing new ideas in teaching as well as some teaching reflections
Teachers had been actively making use of the Collaborative Teaching Scheme and the Common Free Periods to work together and to learn from
each other for the purpose of refining and further developing their teaching strategies Through the Collaborative Teaching Scheme teachers teaching the same subjects or within the same KLA worked in teams each consisting of two or three teachers to work out and implement together some teaching plans with peer lesson observation and evaluation Specific attention was paid to develop teaching strategies for cross-curricular and cooperative learning while the scheming of student-oriented lessons to enhance active student involvement and learning autonomy was also emphasized with concerns for provoking high-order thinking and catering for learning diversities Common free periods were arranged when setting the timetables for teachers of English Chinese Mathematics and NSS Liberal Studies at each level to enhance their professional teaching collaboration in their lesson preparation and implementation Other subject teachers had mostly taken their own initiative to arrange for themselves the same practice for their professional sharing and development
To further enhance the effectiveness of our teaching strategies in order to bring about satisfactory learning outcomes of students it is still
necessary for our teachers to acquire improve and implement the teaching strategies concerning catering for learning diversities of high achievers low achievers as well as students with special education needs Steps have also to be taken to tailor-make the curriculum of different subjects for meaningful cross-curricular learning Cooperative learning should still be widely practiced not just in junior forms and for only some subjects More importantly teachers should acquire more knowledge and skills in fostering studentsrsquo self-directed learning which includes the use of teaching strategies to facilitate the e-learning and mobile learning of students
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014

33 Assessment Studentsrsquo academic performance and learning outcomes had been continuously assessed by different modes of homework assignments quizzes
term tests and examinations Assessment for learning was greatly emphasized when giving students homework assignments to help consolidate their subject knowledge and
what they had learned in classroom Assignments which included various kinds like workbooks worksheets essay writing surveys projects case studies reports book reviews and newspaper cuttings etc were duly designed with diversified tasks and questions of varied difficulties Improvement could still be made in designing assignments to cater better for studentsrsquo diversified learning needs to adopt wider modes of assessment like self peer and parent assessments and to help students to conduct their self-directed study
To help students to put great emphasis on doing well their homework in order to consolidate their learning outcomes the Homework Submission
Scheme was adopted and implemented in these recent years to make students do and submit their homework assignments properly Together with the homework policies of different subject panels which often included mark deduction for late submission of assignments students had become more punctual and orderly in their homework submission To further encourage students to do well their homework assignments in order to achieve satisfactory learning outcomes the Most Outstanding Homework Performance Award Scheme was still carried out and a total of 44 and 52 students were awarded in the first term and the second term respectively
To have a better supervision from the school management and the subject panel heads on homework assignments to students including the
content and marking of the assignments the assignment inspection policy was carried out which required the subject panel heads to supervise the panel members over their making use of homework assignments in achieving their teaching objectives Panel heads could make use of the standard record forms of assignment inspection to see into the quality and the quantity of the assignments given by teachers and to evaluate the marking of the teachers and the ways they gave the comments and feedbacks The subject panel heads also had to submit their studentsrsquo assignments to the school management for the same kind of inspection
Besides assessment assignments studentsrsquo annual academic performance in school was formally assessed through tests and examinations
which made up the term marks and the examination marks of studentsrsquo annual scores respectively There were two examinations for each level of students every year For tests there were at least two assessments (testassignmentproject) for each subject within each term For junior forms there should be at least one test in the first term and preferably two tests in the second term while for senior forms the two assessments each term should be tests
The New Senior Secondary Curriculum provided teachers with great challenges in different aspects including assessment Teachers had been
especially careful to be accurate in using the standard referencing system to assess students on the levels they attained in different assessments and different subjects Two attempts were still made in the last school year to help teachers to conduct their level marking more confidently The first was to keep joining the HKDSE Mock Examination Papers Exchange Scheme organized by the Association of Principals of Secondary Schools of the Hong Kong Council of the Church of Christ in China Subject teachers who had joined the Scheme found it very helpful to conduct level marking by taking the marking criteria set by other schools as reference and examples The other attempt was to predict for students their levels of attainment in different subjects after the S6 Mid-year Examination and students were given their predicted grades on S6 Parentsrsquo Day as a way to help the students as well as their parents to prepare better for the Mock Examination and HKDSE The school joined for the second time the Pilot Study on Predicted Levels of 2014 Core Subjects (CEML) conducted by the Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority to study on the reliability of our prediction of
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014

studentsrsquo CEML subjects to evaluate teachersrsquo accuracy in level marking while reliable predicted grades will be useful for managing the expectation of students and their parents The School Report of the pilot study showed that there was a satisfactorily high correlation between the predicted grades awarded by our teachers to students and the actual level attained by students in 2014 HKDSE showing that teachers had a good understanding and knowledge on standard referencing and their level marking performance was very reliable
To match much better the level attainment system adopted by the New Senior Secondary Curriculum with the traditional marking system which
was revealed in studentsrsquo Academic Reports it was decided that the passing mark in senior form subjects would be changed from 50 to 40 of the total mark Such a change could also better reflect the possible level attainment obtained by students in HKDSE
Teachers were also very cautious in taking sophisticated procedures in conducting the School-based Assessment in the New Senior Secondary
Curriculum Students were assessed on the same tasks and with the same assessment criteria To achieve this students were given common SBA tasks across classes and the same standard of assessment The same criteria for awarding marks to all students were applied and in doing so consultation among teachers to align the marking criteria was often conducted and trial marking of samples of studentsrsquo work was constantly carried out Marks given were adjusted whenever necessary to ensure consistence of assessment standard Reference materials and archive materials were used to help standardizing marking Proper and sufficient guidance and supervision was provided to students to ensure the quality and authenticity of their work There was feedback and advice on improvement to students after the completion of marking to provide them with a fruitful learning experience

232 Reflection
The goals set were achieved well in the previous academic year It is deemed that improvements on certain areas of the Committee could be made for future development of gifted education in breadth and depth All members of the group should have a basic and unanimous understanding as to how gifted education is defined and how its
development is implemented on the school level It is time for all members to receive further training provided by the Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education Core members of the group should receive more advanced training especially on the administrative level More meetings and informal exchanges should take place for achieving such an aim
With the development of the talent pool it should be introduced to all teaching staff thoroughly so that they are more aware of its existence and use
AYP is to be implemented in both S4 and S5 Last year the completion rate of the scheme was not satisfactory as teachers in charge found it difficult to monitor students progress frequently and regularly Next year AYP ambassadors will be assigned in all S4 and S5 classes It is hoped that they can facilitate the monitoring work as well as the promotional work of relevant activities
Gifted education in classroom is one of the concerns of the Committee A staff development programme regarding high-order thinking skills is to be held in next year helping teachers familiarize themselves with how such skills can be developed among students in classroom
24 Career Education Enrichment
241 Achievements This is the second year of the 5-year School Development Plan 2012-2017 This is a good opportunity for students teachers and parents to understand the importance of career education for the student development through organizing and participating in different programmes This year a wide variety of programmes were organized for all stakeholders to be equipped in career education These should be helpful for students to pursue their own goals with the support from their parents and teachers On enhancing professional development of teachers on career education a staff development programme on Implementation of Career Education in Secondary School was organized for all teachers on 6
January 2014 We invited Dr Ho Yuk Fan the Vice Chairperson of The Hong Kong Association of Careers Masters and Guidance Masters to share the latest information in Career Guidance The teachers were very positive to the programme
A workshop was particularly designed for Career Guidance teachers to understand more about the use of the Career Interest Inventory on 14 March 2014
In addition a professional exchange between Methodist College and us was held on 10 April 2014 Ways for effective implementation of the career guidance programmes at school were shared

as visiting RTHK attending a CEO talk from KCS and a public lecture on ldquoExplore the World of Medicinerdquo Some students found the participation in the OLE activities inspired them in setting up their own goals Reflections on goal set up for
study and career can be seen in S6 studentsrsquo Student Learning Profile and the OEA
242 Reflection The school has been promoting career education to the stakeholders at school Even though there were difficulties in the implementation phase it was a good start Some teachers may not fully understand the importance of career education to all students More professional development on career
guidance should be provided to teachers so that they will be better equipped for providing more comprehensive support to the students More CRE activities were organized but the teachers could better help the students to consolidate their learning and relate their
experiences to career planning so as to arouse studentsrsquo awareness to the importance of career planning For the Career Education Curriculum it would be introduced in S3 in 2014-2015 Students could have an earlier awareness which can
help them make a more informed choice for their study and career

3 Learning and Teaching 31 Learning Experiences
Our students have been with pride and perseverance putting the call of the School Mission into their daily learning as they always tend to lsquothink
independentlyrsquo and lsquolearn proactivelyrsquo in their academic pursuit Taking such approaches in learning both in and outside the classroom students find that they could make the most out of their various learning experiences as they striving for the best academic performance
Through their daily learning in classroom students did not just acquire knowledge subject-wise while developing their various generic skills they
could also learn to treasure important universal values when they came across the core elements in value education including moral civic and environmental education which had been immerged with the different subjects they studied These invaluable learning experiences could help students establish correct and positive attitudes towards life which is very useful for them to live and enrich their everyday life and to foster their whole person development
Students became very effective learners in and outside the classroom with the help of information technology When in classrooms students
were highly engaged in each lesson with teachers making the frequent use of various information technology devices like the computing system the electronic whiteboard the Simultaneous Response System and the overhead projector as well as different audio-visual aids to enrich their learning experiences Students could also make use of various e-learning provisions in school to conduct their own self-directed learning outside the classroom In recent years students could study with the e-learning packages uploaded to the eClass platform by their subject teachers and conduct their private study with the help of the computer in the Computer Room Since last Easter students could also use ipads for their self-directed study in the newly-established E-Learning Centre
Junior form studentsrsquo learning in classrooms was also much facilitated with some new ingredients inserted in their lessons For instance students
in S1 and S2 could learn with ipads in English lessons to accomplish their learning tasks and to share promptly and effectively their learning outcomes with classmates Junior form students attending Liberal Studies Integrated Science and Computer Literacy periods would also often find themselves learning lively and actively through ipads
Furthermore junior form students had also come across with a new learning experience in their Language across Curriculum lessons with
subjects like English Mathematics History Geography and Integrated Science Learning with the tailor-made cross-curricular materials which include innovative worksheets as well as interactive games and activities students found it marvelous as their study of the English language and the subject content of Mathematics Science and Humanities could reinforce each other
Drama education was introduced as a new element in the English learning of junior form students with the hope that this integration of the
lsquodramarsquo elements in the English periods would make the lessons more impressive and appealing to students while students could learn in a more creative and interactive way the listening writing reading and speaking skills in the learning of the language
Junior form students had also got used to making use of cooperative learning in class to help maximize their learning effectiveness and outcomes
especially in lessons of English Liberal Studies History and Geography For senior form students there was still a strong tendency for them to take less than three elective subjects in their NSS study In this school year
after their application for dropping elective subjects had been approved after the last Final Examination there are now 58 students in S5 and 92 students in S6 studying less than three elective subjects Meanwhile there are already 11 students in S4 studying only two elective subjects many were S4 repeaters who could only take two elective subjects for their study Moreover there are only 7 students (out of 37) still studied M1 in S6 while a total of 18 (out of 36) had withdrawn their study of M2
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014
- 22 -
With the growing dropping rate of M1 and M2 in S5 and S6 there would only be a class of students admitted to S4 this year given the opportunity to study the Mathematics extensions but this study would only take place after they have been promoted to S5 In the meantime those S6 and S5 students who had withdrawn their study of an elective subject had still to attend supplementary Chinese and English lessons two periods for each language per cycle in the first term or the second term respectively For other spare periods these students had to conduct their self-directed learning in the school library while class and subject teachers were well aware of giving them more and better support through guidance or providing them with more supplementary work or exercises Those students who had withdrawn from studying the Mathematics extension parts had to attend supplementary Mathematics (Core) lessons to concentrate on improving their performance in the subject
Senior form students could also have other learning experiences within their normal lessons like Religious Education lessons for Moral amp Civic
Education PE lessons for Physical Development Career Education lessons in S4 for Career-Related Experiences as well as Aesthetic Development lessons For Career Education though it was not included as normal lessons in S5 and S6 it had still been implemented for the students as immersed programmes conducted in class teachersrsquo periods or assembly time for S5 and S6
Besides learning through the formal curriculum in classrooms students also learned without boundaries outside the classroom They took part
actively in the Cross-curricular Learning Day learning across subject boundaries in the form of thematic study like lsquoThe Changing Face of Centralrsquo (S1) lsquoWhatrsquos on the Menursquo (S2) lsquoField Study in Kingrsquos Parkrsquo (S3) lsquoLearning Positive Traits from Famous Peoplersquo (S4) and lsquoWorking Realityrsquo (S5) Moreover students enjoyed something like a knowledge carnival in the re-organized Inter-House General Quiz when both the House teams and the House members as audience were asked of questions from all the subjects they studied
Students also learned in a lively and creative way and gained significantly when they participated in some exchange or interflow activities or
attended the various enrichment or enhancement courses organized by the school or when they acquired other learning experiences outside the classroom
Students were given the opportunities to learn in other schools when they joined in some student interflow schemes like the Local Student
Exchange Scheme co-organized with Hong Kong True Light Middle School on April 1-3 2014 as well as with Queen Elizabeth School on April 9-10 2014 Students had also twice the time to have interflows with students from Guangzhou True Light Middle School on November 6-7 2013 and April 30 2014 Students who had become buddies of the student visitors from other schools could have especially gone through some brand new and unforgettable learning experiences
The Capacity Enhancement Grant (CEG) and the Diversity Learning (DLG) were well made use of to provide students with extra support to
further enrich their knowledge to enhance better their learning capacity and develop deeper their interests and skills Through CEG there were Enrichment Courses for S1-S3 Gifted Students in Mathematics an Interactive Drama Performance Course for S2 students Drama Courses to enhance S4 and S5 students in their English Learning Chinese Debating Courses for S2 to S4 students Physics Courses on lsquoArchitecture amp Mechanicsrsquo and lsquoElectromagnetismrsquo biotechnology experiments for Biology students in senior forms a Beginner Digital Photography Course and Student TV Training Course Through DLG there included a Learning English through Debating Extension Course a Learning English through Social Issues and Pop Culture Extension Course workshops on Chinese writing and composition Biology courses on lsquoForensic Sciencersquo and lsquoBiotechnology Experimentsrsquo and Mathematics and Liberal Studies enhancement courses for NSS students
Studentsrsquo knowledge horizons were also broadened when they participated in a variety of extra-curricular or co-curricular activities like visits
field trips and study tours abroad like to Singapore in January 2014 on Environmental Historical Cultural and English studies to mainland China (Beijing) for Cultural Studies and to Taiwan on Music Interfow Different subject panels had also worked through their respective academic societies to provide various innovative life-wide learning activities to arouse studentsrsquo interests and to enhance their ability in learning the disciplines Talks of academics or scholars had also been organized to help arouse studentsrsquo social consciousness and academic concerns

32 Teaching Strategies Our teachers had been incessantly acquiring and attempting to put into practice different kinds of teaching strategies to cater for the various
learning needs of our students in order to help them achieve the best learning outcomes Teachers always took up the role of facilitators in classrooms focusing at constructing an interactive classroom in order to arouse studentsrsquo learning motivation and help encourage their proactive learning Students were provided with various stimuli to help their learning like providing them with different scenarios to inspire them to explore every possible method to solve problems asking them graded and high order thinking questions to enhance their creativity and critical thinking skills and giving them carefully designed differentiated and challenging tasks to enrich their useful and meaningful learning opportunities in classrooms Teachers also provided timely and constructive feedbacks and compliments to students as recognition and reinforcement of their learning outcomes
Teachers also tended to have frequent applications of various information technology techniques and devices like the computing systems
visualizers ipads as well as the electronic whiteboards with the simultaneous response system to help reinforce their teaching strategies in creating a more interactive and effective learning environment to make learning and teaching more effective Teachers had been looking into the possibility of making a wider use of e-learning strategies like providing students with e-learning packages and resources through the eClass platform introducing e-textbooks to students and subscribing for them i-books for self-directed learning The first task had been taken for a few years while the other two tasks were still put under study
To improve the teaching strategies on catering for learning diversities our school had joined with other schools in the Learning Circle of Catering
for Learning Diversities organized by EDB to keep an interflow of related ideas and strategies with other schools The school had also participated in the research on ldquoHong Kong In-service Teachersrsquo Self-efficacy and Readiness for Differentiated Instruction for Diverse Learnersrsquo organized by the Faculty of Education of The Chinese University of Hong Kong in order to have a better understanding on the preparedness and readiness of our teachers at catering for learning diversities
Our teachers had also engaged themselves in an active sharing of teaching strategies as they contributed proactively their articles to the
publication of a Collection of Teaching Recollections of Teachers of True Light Girlsrsquo College called lsquoTrue Light Sharingrsquo in the last school year As seen from the four sections in the book teachers of different subjects shared with their colleagues and teachers of other schools their teaching plans lesson tips glowing new ideas in teaching as well as some teaching reflections
Teachers had been actively making use of the Collaborative Teaching Scheme and the Common Free Periods to work together and to learn from
each other for the purpose of refining and further developing their teaching strategies Through the Collaborative Teaching Scheme teachers teaching the same subjects or within the same KLA worked in teams each consisting of two or three teachers to work out and implement together some teaching plans with peer lesson observation and evaluation Specific attention was paid to develop teaching strategies for cross-curricular and cooperative learning while the scheming of student-oriented lessons to enhance active student involvement and learning autonomy was also emphasized with concerns for provoking high-order thinking and catering for learning diversities Common free periods were arranged when setting the timetables for teachers of English Chinese Mathematics and NSS Liberal Studies at each level to enhance their professional teaching collaboration in their lesson preparation and implementation Other subject teachers had mostly taken their own initiative to arrange for themselves the same practice for their professional sharing and development
To further enhance the effectiveness of our teaching strategies in order to bring about satisfactory learning outcomes of students it is still
necessary for our teachers to acquire improve and implement the teaching strategies concerning catering for learning diversities of high achievers low achievers as well as students with special education needs Steps have also to be taken to tailor-make the curriculum of different subjects for meaningful cross-curricular learning Cooperative learning should still be widely practiced not just in junior forms and for only some subjects More importantly teachers should acquire more knowledge and skills in fostering studentsrsquo self-directed learning which includes the use of teaching strategies to facilitate the e-learning and mobile learning of students
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014

33 Assessment Studentsrsquo academic performance and learning outcomes had been continuously assessed by different modes of homework assignments quizzes
term tests and examinations Assessment for learning was greatly emphasized when giving students homework assignments to help consolidate their subject knowledge and
what they had learned in classroom Assignments which included various kinds like workbooks worksheets essay writing surveys projects case studies reports book reviews and newspaper cuttings etc were duly designed with diversified tasks and questions of varied difficulties Improvement could still be made in designing assignments to cater better for studentsrsquo diversified learning needs to adopt wider modes of assessment like self peer and parent assessments and to help students to conduct their self-directed study
To help students to put great emphasis on doing well their homework in order to consolidate their learning outcomes the Homework Submission
Scheme was adopted and implemented in these recent years to make students do and submit their homework assignments properly Together with the homework policies of different subject panels which often included mark deduction for late submission of assignments students had become more punctual and orderly in their homework submission To further encourage students to do well their homework assignments in order to achieve satisfactory learning outcomes the Most Outstanding Homework Performance Award Scheme was still carried out and a total of 44 and 52 students were awarded in the first term and the second term respectively
To have a better supervision from the school management and the subject panel heads on homework assignments to students including the
content and marking of the assignments the assignment inspection policy was carried out which required the subject panel heads to supervise the panel members over their making use of homework assignments in achieving their teaching objectives Panel heads could make use of the standard record forms of assignment inspection to see into the quality and the quantity of the assignments given by teachers and to evaluate the marking of the teachers and the ways they gave the comments and feedbacks The subject panel heads also had to submit their studentsrsquo assignments to the school management for the same kind of inspection
Besides assessment assignments studentsrsquo annual academic performance in school was formally assessed through tests and examinations
which made up the term marks and the examination marks of studentsrsquo annual scores respectively There were two examinations for each level of students every year For tests there were at least two assessments (testassignmentproject) for each subject within each term For junior forms there should be at least one test in the first term and preferably two tests in the second term while for senior forms the two assessments each term should be tests
The New Senior Secondary Curriculum provided teachers with great challenges in different aspects including assessment Teachers had been
especially careful to be accurate in using the standard referencing system to assess students on the levels they attained in different assessments and different subjects Two attempts were still made in the last school year to help teachers to conduct their level marking more confidently The first was to keep joining the HKDSE Mock Examination Papers Exchange Scheme organized by the Association of Principals of Secondary Schools of the Hong Kong Council of the Church of Christ in China Subject teachers who had joined the Scheme found it very helpful to conduct level marking by taking the marking criteria set by other schools as reference and examples The other attempt was to predict for students their levels of attainment in different subjects after the S6 Mid-year Examination and students were given their predicted grades on S6 Parentsrsquo Day as a way to help the students as well as their parents to prepare better for the Mock Examination and HKDSE The school joined for the second time the Pilot Study on Predicted Levels of 2014 Core Subjects (CEML) conducted by the Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority to study on the reliability of our prediction of
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014
- 25 -
studentsrsquo CEML subjects to evaluate teachersrsquo accuracy in level marking while reliable predicted grades will be useful for managing the expectation of students and their parents The School Report of the pilot study showed that there was a satisfactorily high correlation between the predicted grades awarded by our teachers to students and the actual level attained by students in 2014 HKDSE showing that teachers had a good understanding and knowledge on standard referencing and their level marking performance was very reliable
To match much better the level attainment system adopted by the New Senior Secondary Curriculum with the traditional marking system which
was revealed in studentsrsquo Academic Reports it was decided that the passing mark in senior form subjects would be changed from 50 to 40 of the total mark Such a change could also better reflect the possible level attainment obtained by students in HKDSE
Teachers were also very cautious in taking sophisticated procedures in conducting the School-based Assessment in the New Senior Secondary
Curriculum Students were assessed on the same tasks and with the same assessment criteria To achieve this students were given common SBA tasks across classes and the same standard of assessment The same criteria for awarding marks to all students were applied and in doing so consultation among teachers to align the marking criteria was often conducted and trial marking of samples of studentsrsquo work was constantly carried out Marks given were adjusted whenever necessary to ensure consistence of assessment standard Reference materials and archive materials were used to help standardizing marking Proper and sufficient guidance and supervision was provided to students to ensure the quality and authenticity of their work There was feedback and advice on improvement to students after the completion of marking to provide them with a fruitful learning experience

On equipping senior form students for their planning of future career Based on the student evaluation collected last year the S4 curriculum was modified so that more group discussion was introduced
Students could be more involved in the lessons To supplement the formal lessons lots of activities were arranged for S4 students These included Goal Setting Workshop Simulation
Game 踏步大未來生涯規劃工作坊 Mr Work (Simulation) visits to Chow Tai Fook Immigration Service Institute of Training amp
Development Centaline K11-Art Mall and Mock Court Trial Over 10 programmes were offered to both S5 and S6 students For S6 students there were JUPAS Choice Workshop JUPAS sharing
night Mock DSE Result Release Workshop Career talk on CUSCS and VTC For S5 students there were Goal Setting Workshop Mr
IN 見工真人 SHOW Working Reality and JUPAS Workshop
On arousing the awareness of the importance of career planning in junior forms
Programmes were designed for all junior form levels For S3 there were money management workshop Subject Choice Workshop 財
智 GOAL飛 Workshop S2 was Career Planning Workshop There were also Career Quiz for S1 to S3 students
True Light Bonds was one of the most important programmes for S1 and S4 students designed by the Career Guidance Committee Both S1 and S4 students were given an opportunity to brainstorm their future career they would like to pursue
Japanese and Korean Culture Workshops visits to RTHK and Chinese Cuisine Training Institute were arranged to widen studentsrsquo exposures
On helping students set clear goals on future study and career The QEF project was completed on 30 April 2014 Programmes were arranged for students teachers and parents to enrich their
career knowledge and experiences Subject panels provided a wide variety of activities to inspire students for the pursuit of their further study and career opportunities such
as visiting RTHK attending a CEO talk from KCS and a public lecture on ldquoExplore the World of Medicinerdquo Some students found the participation in the OLE activities inspired them in setting up their own goals Reflections on goal set up for
study and career can be seen in S6 studentsrsquo Student Learning Profile and the OEA
242 Reflection The school has been promoting career education to the stakeholders at school Even though there were difficulties in the implementation phase it was a good start Some teachers may not fully understand the importance of career education to all students More professional development on career
guidance should be provided to teachers so that they will be better equipped for providing more comprehensive support to the students More CRE activities were organized but the teachers could better help the students to consolidate their learning and relate their
experiences to career planning so as to arouse studentsrsquo awareness to the importance of career planning For the Career Education Curriculum it would be introduced in S3 in 2014-2015 Students could have an earlier awareness which can
help them make a more informed choice for their study and career

3 Learning and Teaching 31 Learning Experiences
Our students have been with pride and perseverance putting the call of the School Mission into their daily learning as they always tend to lsquothink
independentlyrsquo and lsquolearn proactivelyrsquo in their academic pursuit Taking such approaches in learning both in and outside the classroom students find that they could make the most out of their various learning experiences as they striving for the best academic performance
Through their daily learning in classroom students did not just acquire knowledge subject-wise while developing their various generic skills they
could also learn to treasure important universal values when they came across the core elements in value education including moral civic and environmental education which had been immerged with the different subjects they studied These invaluable learning experiences could help students establish correct and positive attitudes towards life which is very useful for them to live and enrich their everyday life and to foster their whole person development
Students became very effective learners in and outside the classroom with the help of information technology When in classrooms students
were highly engaged in each lesson with teachers making the frequent use of various information technology devices like the computing system the electronic whiteboard the Simultaneous Response System and the overhead projector as well as different audio-visual aids to enrich their learning experiences Students could also make use of various e-learning provisions in school to conduct their own self-directed learning outside the classroom In recent years students could study with the e-learning packages uploaded to the eClass platform by their subject teachers and conduct their private study with the help of the computer in the Computer Room Since last Easter students could also use ipads for their self-directed study in the newly-established E-Learning Centre
Junior form studentsrsquo learning in classrooms was also much facilitated with some new ingredients inserted in their lessons For instance students
in S1 and S2 could learn with ipads in English lessons to accomplish their learning tasks and to share promptly and effectively their learning outcomes with classmates Junior form students attending Liberal Studies Integrated Science and Computer Literacy periods would also often find themselves learning lively and actively through ipads
Furthermore junior form students had also come across with a new learning experience in their Language across Curriculum lessons with
subjects like English Mathematics History Geography and Integrated Science Learning with the tailor-made cross-curricular materials which include innovative worksheets as well as interactive games and activities students found it marvelous as their study of the English language and the subject content of Mathematics Science and Humanities could reinforce each other
Drama education was introduced as a new element in the English learning of junior form students with the hope that this integration of the
lsquodramarsquo elements in the English periods would make the lessons more impressive and appealing to students while students could learn in a more creative and interactive way the listening writing reading and speaking skills in the learning of the language
Junior form students had also got used to making use of cooperative learning in class to help maximize their learning effectiveness and outcomes
especially in lessons of English Liberal Studies History and Geography For senior form students there was still a strong tendency for them to take less than three elective subjects in their NSS study In this school year
after their application for dropping elective subjects had been approved after the last Final Examination there are now 58 students in S5 and 92 students in S6 studying less than three elective subjects Meanwhile there are already 11 students in S4 studying only two elective subjects many were S4 repeaters who could only take two elective subjects for their study Moreover there are only 7 students (out of 37) still studied M1 in S6 while a total of 18 (out of 36) had withdrawn their study of M2
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014
- 22 -
With the growing dropping rate of M1 and M2 in S5 and S6 there would only be a class of students admitted to S4 this year given the opportunity to study the Mathematics extensions but this study would only take place after they have been promoted to S5 In the meantime those S6 and S5 students who had withdrawn their study of an elective subject had still to attend supplementary Chinese and English lessons two periods for each language per cycle in the first term or the second term respectively For other spare periods these students had to conduct their self-directed learning in the school library while class and subject teachers were well aware of giving them more and better support through guidance or providing them with more supplementary work or exercises Those students who had withdrawn from studying the Mathematics extension parts had to attend supplementary Mathematics (Core) lessons to concentrate on improving their performance in the subject
Senior form students could also have other learning experiences within their normal lessons like Religious Education lessons for Moral amp Civic
Education PE lessons for Physical Development Career Education lessons in S4 for Career-Related Experiences as well as Aesthetic Development lessons For Career Education though it was not included as normal lessons in S5 and S6 it had still been implemented for the students as immersed programmes conducted in class teachersrsquo periods or assembly time for S5 and S6
Besides learning through the formal curriculum in classrooms students also learned without boundaries outside the classroom They took part
actively in the Cross-curricular Learning Day learning across subject boundaries in the form of thematic study like lsquoThe Changing Face of Centralrsquo (S1) lsquoWhatrsquos on the Menursquo (S2) lsquoField Study in Kingrsquos Parkrsquo (S3) lsquoLearning Positive Traits from Famous Peoplersquo (S4) and lsquoWorking Realityrsquo (S5) Moreover students enjoyed something like a knowledge carnival in the re-organized Inter-House General Quiz when both the House teams and the House members as audience were asked of questions from all the subjects they studied
Students also learned in a lively and creative way and gained significantly when they participated in some exchange or interflow activities or
attended the various enrichment or enhancement courses organized by the school or when they acquired other learning experiences outside the classroom
Students were given the opportunities to learn in other schools when they joined in some student interflow schemes like the Local Student
Exchange Scheme co-organized with Hong Kong True Light Middle School on April 1-3 2014 as well as with Queen Elizabeth School on April 9-10 2014 Students had also twice the time to have interflows with students from Guangzhou True Light Middle School on November 6-7 2013 and April 30 2014 Students who had become buddies of the student visitors from other schools could have especially gone through some brand new and unforgettable learning experiences
The Capacity Enhancement Grant (CEG) and the Diversity Learning (DLG) were well made use of to provide students with extra support to
further enrich their knowledge to enhance better their learning capacity and develop deeper their interests and skills Through CEG there were Enrichment Courses for S1-S3 Gifted Students in Mathematics an Interactive Drama Performance Course for S2 students Drama Courses to enhance S4 and S5 students in their English Learning Chinese Debating Courses for S2 to S4 students Physics Courses on lsquoArchitecture amp Mechanicsrsquo and lsquoElectromagnetismrsquo biotechnology experiments for Biology students in senior forms a Beginner Digital Photography Course and Student TV Training Course Through DLG there included a Learning English through Debating Extension Course a Learning English through Social Issues and Pop Culture Extension Course workshops on Chinese writing and composition Biology courses on lsquoForensic Sciencersquo and lsquoBiotechnology Experimentsrsquo and Mathematics and Liberal Studies enhancement courses for NSS students
Studentsrsquo knowledge horizons were also broadened when they participated in a variety of extra-curricular or co-curricular activities like visits
field trips and study tours abroad like to Singapore in January 2014 on Environmental Historical Cultural and English studies to mainland China (Beijing) for Cultural Studies and to Taiwan on Music Interfow Different subject panels had also worked through their respective academic societies to provide various innovative life-wide learning activities to arouse studentsrsquo interests and to enhance their ability in learning the disciplines Talks of academics or scholars had also been organized to help arouse studentsrsquo social consciousness and academic concerns

32 Teaching Strategies Our teachers had been incessantly acquiring and attempting to put into practice different kinds of teaching strategies to cater for the various
learning needs of our students in order to help them achieve the best learning outcomes Teachers always took up the role of facilitators in classrooms focusing at constructing an interactive classroom in order to arouse studentsrsquo learning motivation and help encourage their proactive learning Students were provided with various stimuli to help their learning like providing them with different scenarios to inspire them to explore every possible method to solve problems asking them graded and high order thinking questions to enhance their creativity and critical thinking skills and giving them carefully designed differentiated and challenging tasks to enrich their useful and meaningful learning opportunities in classrooms Teachers also provided timely and constructive feedbacks and compliments to students as recognition and reinforcement of their learning outcomes
Teachers also tended to have frequent applications of various information technology techniques and devices like the computing systems
visualizers ipads as well as the electronic whiteboards with the simultaneous response system to help reinforce their teaching strategies in creating a more interactive and effective learning environment to make learning and teaching more effective Teachers had been looking into the possibility of making a wider use of e-learning strategies like providing students with e-learning packages and resources through the eClass platform introducing e-textbooks to students and subscribing for them i-books for self-directed learning The first task had been taken for a few years while the other two tasks were still put under study
To improve the teaching strategies on catering for learning diversities our school had joined with other schools in the Learning Circle of Catering
for Learning Diversities organized by EDB to keep an interflow of related ideas and strategies with other schools The school had also participated in the research on ldquoHong Kong In-service Teachersrsquo Self-efficacy and Readiness for Differentiated Instruction for Diverse Learnersrsquo organized by the Faculty of Education of The Chinese University of Hong Kong in order to have a better understanding on the preparedness and readiness of our teachers at catering for learning diversities
Our teachers had also engaged themselves in an active sharing of teaching strategies as they contributed proactively their articles to the
publication of a Collection of Teaching Recollections of Teachers of True Light Girlsrsquo College called lsquoTrue Light Sharingrsquo in the last school year As seen from the four sections in the book teachers of different subjects shared with their colleagues and teachers of other schools their teaching plans lesson tips glowing new ideas in teaching as well as some teaching reflections
Teachers had been actively making use of the Collaborative Teaching Scheme and the Common Free Periods to work together and to learn from
each other for the purpose of refining and further developing their teaching strategies Through the Collaborative Teaching Scheme teachers teaching the same subjects or within the same KLA worked in teams each consisting of two or three teachers to work out and implement together some teaching plans with peer lesson observation and evaluation Specific attention was paid to develop teaching strategies for cross-curricular and cooperative learning while the scheming of student-oriented lessons to enhance active student involvement and learning autonomy was also emphasized with concerns for provoking high-order thinking and catering for learning diversities Common free periods were arranged when setting the timetables for teachers of English Chinese Mathematics and NSS Liberal Studies at each level to enhance their professional teaching collaboration in their lesson preparation and implementation Other subject teachers had mostly taken their own initiative to arrange for themselves the same practice for their professional sharing and development
To further enhance the effectiveness of our teaching strategies in order to bring about satisfactory learning outcomes of students it is still
necessary for our teachers to acquire improve and implement the teaching strategies concerning catering for learning diversities of high achievers low achievers as well as students with special education needs Steps have also to be taken to tailor-make the curriculum of different subjects for meaningful cross-curricular learning Cooperative learning should still be widely practiced not just in junior forms and for only some subjects More importantly teachers should acquire more knowledge and skills in fostering studentsrsquo self-directed learning which includes the use of teaching strategies to facilitate the e-learning and mobile learning of students
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014

33 Assessment Studentsrsquo academic performance and learning outcomes had been continuously assessed by different modes of homework assignments quizzes
term tests and examinations Assessment for learning was greatly emphasized when giving students homework assignments to help consolidate their subject knowledge and
what they had learned in classroom Assignments which included various kinds like workbooks worksheets essay writing surveys projects case studies reports book reviews and newspaper cuttings etc were duly designed with diversified tasks and questions of varied difficulties Improvement could still be made in designing assignments to cater better for studentsrsquo diversified learning needs to adopt wider modes of assessment like self peer and parent assessments and to help students to conduct their self-directed study
To help students to put great emphasis on doing well their homework in order to consolidate their learning outcomes the Homework Submission
Scheme was adopted and implemented in these recent years to make students do and submit their homework assignments properly Together with the homework policies of different subject panels which often included mark deduction for late submission of assignments students had become more punctual and orderly in their homework submission To further encourage students to do well their homework assignments in order to achieve satisfactory learning outcomes the Most Outstanding Homework Performance Award Scheme was still carried out and a total of 44 and 52 students were awarded in the first term and the second term respectively
To have a better supervision from the school management and the subject panel heads on homework assignments to students including the
content and marking of the assignments the assignment inspection policy was carried out which required the subject panel heads to supervise the panel members over their making use of homework assignments in achieving their teaching objectives Panel heads could make use of the standard record forms of assignment inspection to see into the quality and the quantity of the assignments given by teachers and to evaluate the marking of the teachers and the ways they gave the comments and feedbacks The subject panel heads also had to submit their studentsrsquo assignments to the school management for the same kind of inspection
Besides assessment assignments studentsrsquo annual academic performance in school was formally assessed through tests and examinations
which made up the term marks and the examination marks of studentsrsquo annual scores respectively There were two examinations for each level of students every year For tests there were at least two assessments (testassignmentproject) for each subject within each term For junior forms there should be at least one test in the first term and preferably two tests in the second term while for senior forms the two assessments each term should be tests
The New Senior Secondary Curriculum provided teachers with great challenges in different aspects including assessment Teachers had been
especially careful to be accurate in using the standard referencing system to assess students on the levels they attained in different assessments and different subjects Two attempts were still made in the last school year to help teachers to conduct their level marking more confidently The first was to keep joining the HKDSE Mock Examination Papers Exchange Scheme organized by the Association of Principals of Secondary Schools of the Hong Kong Council of the Church of Christ in China Subject teachers who had joined the Scheme found it very helpful to conduct level marking by taking the marking criteria set by other schools as reference and examples The other attempt was to predict for students their levels of attainment in different subjects after the S6 Mid-year Examination and students were given their predicted grades on S6 Parentsrsquo Day as a way to help the students as well as their parents to prepare better for the Mock Examination and HKDSE The school joined for the second time the Pilot Study on Predicted Levels of 2014 Core Subjects (CEML) conducted by the Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority to study on the reliability of our prediction of
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014
- 25 -
studentsrsquo CEML subjects to evaluate teachersrsquo accuracy in level marking while reliable predicted grades will be useful for managing the expectation of students and their parents The School Report of the pilot study showed that there was a satisfactorily high correlation between the predicted grades awarded by our teachers to students and the actual level attained by students in 2014 HKDSE showing that teachers had a good understanding and knowledge on standard referencing and their level marking performance was very reliable
To match much better the level attainment system adopted by the New Senior Secondary Curriculum with the traditional marking system which
was revealed in studentsrsquo Academic Reports it was decided that the passing mark in senior form subjects would be changed from 50 to 40 of the total mark Such a change could also better reflect the possible level attainment obtained by students in HKDSE
Teachers were also very cautious in taking sophisticated procedures in conducting the School-based Assessment in the New Senior Secondary
Curriculum Students were assessed on the same tasks and with the same assessment criteria To achieve this students were given common SBA tasks across classes and the same standard of assessment The same criteria for awarding marks to all students were applied and in doing so consultation among teachers to align the marking criteria was often conducted and trial marking of samples of studentsrsquo work was constantly carried out Marks given were adjusted whenever necessary to ensure consistence of assessment standard Reference materials and archive materials were used to help standardizing marking Proper and sufficient guidance and supervision was provided to students to ensure the quality and authenticity of their work There was feedback and advice on improvement to students after the completion of marking to provide them with a fruitful learning experience

Teachersrsquo studentsrsquo amp parentsrsquo view on support for student development
Teachersrsquo studentsrsquo amp parentsrsquo view on school climate
In year 2013-2014 The APASO data of our school in general showed positive result The scores of our students are in general higher than the Hong Kong norm Yet the test scores indicate that the test anxiety of S1 S5 and S6 students are quite high To help the students to handle their stress workshops on study skills time management and stress management which run by our educational psychologist had been arranged and well received by the students

3 Learning and Teaching 31 Learning Experiences
Our students have been with pride and perseverance putting the call of the School Mission into their daily learning as they always tend to lsquothink
independentlyrsquo and lsquolearn proactivelyrsquo in their academic pursuit Taking such approaches in learning both in and outside the classroom students find that they could make the most out of their various learning experiences as they striving for the best academic performance
Through their daily learning in classroom students did not just acquire knowledge subject-wise while developing their various generic skills they
could also learn to treasure important universal values when they came across the core elements in value education including moral civic and environmental education which had been immerged with the different subjects they studied These invaluable learning experiences could help students establish correct and positive attitudes towards life which is very useful for them to live and enrich their everyday life and to foster their whole person development
Students became very effective learners in and outside the classroom with the help of information technology When in classrooms students
were highly engaged in each lesson with teachers making the frequent use of various information technology devices like the computing system the electronic whiteboard the Simultaneous Response System and the overhead projector as well as different audio-visual aids to enrich their learning experiences Students could also make use of various e-learning provisions in school to conduct their own self-directed learning outside the classroom In recent years students could study with the e-learning packages uploaded to the eClass platform by their subject teachers and conduct their private study with the help of the computer in the Computer Room Since last Easter students could also use ipads for their self-directed study in the newly-established E-Learning Centre
Junior form studentsrsquo learning in classrooms was also much facilitated with some new ingredients inserted in their lessons For instance students
in S1 and S2 could learn with ipads in English lessons to accomplish their learning tasks and to share promptly and effectively their learning outcomes with classmates Junior form students attending Liberal Studies Integrated Science and Computer Literacy periods would also often find themselves learning lively and actively through ipads
Furthermore junior form students had also come across with a new learning experience in their Language across Curriculum lessons with
subjects like English Mathematics History Geography and Integrated Science Learning with the tailor-made cross-curricular materials which include innovative worksheets as well as interactive games and activities students found it marvelous as their study of the English language and the subject content of Mathematics Science and Humanities could reinforce each other
Drama education was introduced as a new element in the English learning of junior form students with the hope that this integration of the
lsquodramarsquo elements in the English periods would make the lessons more impressive and appealing to students while students could learn in a more creative and interactive way the listening writing reading and speaking skills in the learning of the language
Junior form students had also got used to making use of cooperative learning in class to help maximize their learning effectiveness and outcomes
especially in lessons of English Liberal Studies History and Geography For senior form students there was still a strong tendency for them to take less than three elective subjects in their NSS study In this school year
after their application for dropping elective subjects had been approved after the last Final Examination there are now 58 students in S5 and 92 students in S6 studying less than three elective subjects Meanwhile there are already 11 students in S4 studying only two elective subjects many were S4 repeaters who could only take two elective subjects for their study Moreover there are only 7 students (out of 37) still studied M1 in S6 while a total of 18 (out of 36) had withdrawn their study of M2
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014
- 22 -
With the growing dropping rate of M1 and M2 in S5 and S6 there would only be a class of students admitted to S4 this year given the opportunity to study the Mathematics extensions but this study would only take place after they have been promoted to S5 In the meantime those S6 and S5 students who had withdrawn their study of an elective subject had still to attend supplementary Chinese and English lessons two periods for each language per cycle in the first term or the second term respectively For other spare periods these students had to conduct their self-directed learning in the school library while class and subject teachers were well aware of giving them more and better support through guidance or providing them with more supplementary work or exercises Those students who had withdrawn from studying the Mathematics extension parts had to attend supplementary Mathematics (Core) lessons to concentrate on improving their performance in the subject
Senior form students could also have other learning experiences within their normal lessons like Religious Education lessons for Moral amp Civic
Education PE lessons for Physical Development Career Education lessons in S4 for Career-Related Experiences as well as Aesthetic Development lessons For Career Education though it was not included as normal lessons in S5 and S6 it had still been implemented for the students as immersed programmes conducted in class teachersrsquo periods or assembly time for S5 and S6
Besides learning through the formal curriculum in classrooms students also learned without boundaries outside the classroom They took part
actively in the Cross-curricular Learning Day learning across subject boundaries in the form of thematic study like lsquoThe Changing Face of Centralrsquo (S1) lsquoWhatrsquos on the Menursquo (S2) lsquoField Study in Kingrsquos Parkrsquo (S3) lsquoLearning Positive Traits from Famous Peoplersquo (S4) and lsquoWorking Realityrsquo (S5) Moreover students enjoyed something like a knowledge carnival in the re-organized Inter-House General Quiz when both the House teams and the House members as audience were asked of questions from all the subjects they studied
Students also learned in a lively and creative way and gained significantly when they participated in some exchange or interflow activities or
attended the various enrichment or enhancement courses organized by the school or when they acquired other learning experiences outside the classroom
Students were given the opportunities to learn in other schools when they joined in some student interflow schemes like the Local Student
Exchange Scheme co-organized with Hong Kong True Light Middle School on April 1-3 2014 as well as with Queen Elizabeth School on April 9-10 2014 Students had also twice the time to have interflows with students from Guangzhou True Light Middle School on November 6-7 2013 and April 30 2014 Students who had become buddies of the student visitors from other schools could have especially gone through some brand new and unforgettable learning experiences
The Capacity Enhancement Grant (CEG) and the Diversity Learning (DLG) were well made use of to provide students with extra support to
further enrich their knowledge to enhance better their learning capacity and develop deeper their interests and skills Through CEG there were Enrichment Courses for S1-S3 Gifted Students in Mathematics an Interactive Drama Performance Course for S2 students Drama Courses to enhance S4 and S5 students in their English Learning Chinese Debating Courses for S2 to S4 students Physics Courses on lsquoArchitecture amp Mechanicsrsquo and lsquoElectromagnetismrsquo biotechnology experiments for Biology students in senior forms a Beginner Digital Photography Course and Student TV Training Course Through DLG there included a Learning English through Debating Extension Course a Learning English through Social Issues and Pop Culture Extension Course workshops on Chinese writing and composition Biology courses on lsquoForensic Sciencersquo and lsquoBiotechnology Experimentsrsquo and Mathematics and Liberal Studies enhancement courses for NSS students
Studentsrsquo knowledge horizons were also broadened when they participated in a variety of extra-curricular or co-curricular activities like visits
field trips and study tours abroad like to Singapore in January 2014 on Environmental Historical Cultural and English studies to mainland China (Beijing) for Cultural Studies and to Taiwan on Music Interfow Different subject panels had also worked through their respective academic societies to provide various innovative life-wide learning activities to arouse studentsrsquo interests and to enhance their ability in learning the disciplines Talks of academics or scholars had also been organized to help arouse studentsrsquo social consciousness and academic concerns

32 Teaching Strategies Our teachers had been incessantly acquiring and attempting to put into practice different kinds of teaching strategies to cater for the various
learning needs of our students in order to help them achieve the best learning outcomes Teachers always took up the role of facilitators in classrooms focusing at constructing an interactive classroom in order to arouse studentsrsquo learning motivation and help encourage their proactive learning Students were provided with various stimuli to help their learning like providing them with different scenarios to inspire them to explore every possible method to solve problems asking them graded and high order thinking questions to enhance their creativity and critical thinking skills and giving them carefully designed differentiated and challenging tasks to enrich their useful and meaningful learning opportunities in classrooms Teachers also provided timely and constructive feedbacks and compliments to students as recognition and reinforcement of their learning outcomes
Teachers also tended to have frequent applications of various information technology techniques and devices like the computing systems
visualizers ipads as well as the electronic whiteboards with the simultaneous response system to help reinforce their teaching strategies in creating a more interactive and effective learning environment to make learning and teaching more effective Teachers had been looking into the possibility of making a wider use of e-learning strategies like providing students with e-learning packages and resources through the eClass platform introducing e-textbooks to students and subscribing for them i-books for self-directed learning The first task had been taken for a few years while the other two tasks were still put under study
To improve the teaching strategies on catering for learning diversities our school had joined with other schools in the Learning Circle of Catering
for Learning Diversities organized by EDB to keep an interflow of related ideas and strategies with other schools The school had also participated in the research on ldquoHong Kong In-service Teachersrsquo Self-efficacy and Readiness for Differentiated Instruction for Diverse Learnersrsquo organized by the Faculty of Education of The Chinese University of Hong Kong in order to have a better understanding on the preparedness and readiness of our teachers at catering for learning diversities
Our teachers had also engaged themselves in an active sharing of teaching strategies as they contributed proactively their articles to the
publication of a Collection of Teaching Recollections of Teachers of True Light Girlsrsquo College called lsquoTrue Light Sharingrsquo in the last school year As seen from the four sections in the book teachers of different subjects shared with their colleagues and teachers of other schools their teaching plans lesson tips glowing new ideas in teaching as well as some teaching reflections
Teachers had been actively making use of the Collaborative Teaching Scheme and the Common Free Periods to work together and to learn from
each other for the purpose of refining and further developing their teaching strategies Through the Collaborative Teaching Scheme teachers teaching the same subjects or within the same KLA worked in teams each consisting of two or three teachers to work out and implement together some teaching plans with peer lesson observation and evaluation Specific attention was paid to develop teaching strategies for cross-curricular and cooperative learning while the scheming of student-oriented lessons to enhance active student involvement and learning autonomy was also emphasized with concerns for provoking high-order thinking and catering for learning diversities Common free periods were arranged when setting the timetables for teachers of English Chinese Mathematics and NSS Liberal Studies at each level to enhance their professional teaching collaboration in their lesson preparation and implementation Other subject teachers had mostly taken their own initiative to arrange for themselves the same practice for their professional sharing and development
To further enhance the effectiveness of our teaching strategies in order to bring about satisfactory learning outcomes of students it is still
necessary for our teachers to acquire improve and implement the teaching strategies concerning catering for learning diversities of high achievers low achievers as well as students with special education needs Steps have also to be taken to tailor-make the curriculum of different subjects for meaningful cross-curricular learning Cooperative learning should still be widely practiced not just in junior forms and for only some subjects More importantly teachers should acquire more knowledge and skills in fostering studentsrsquo self-directed learning which includes the use of teaching strategies to facilitate the e-learning and mobile learning of students

33 Assessment Studentsrsquo academic performance and learning outcomes had been continuously assessed by different modes of homework assignments quizzes
term tests and examinations Assessment for learning was greatly emphasized when giving students homework assignments to help consolidate their subject knowledge and
what they had learned in classroom Assignments which included various kinds like workbooks worksheets essay writing surveys projects case studies reports book reviews and newspaper cuttings etc were duly designed with diversified tasks and questions of varied difficulties Improvement could still be made in designing assignments to cater better for studentsrsquo diversified learning needs to adopt wider modes of assessment like self peer and parent assessments and to help students to conduct their self-directed study
To help students to put great emphasis on doing well their homework in order to consolidate their learning outcomes the Homework Submission
Scheme was adopted and implemented in these recent years to make students do and submit their homework assignments properly Together with the homework policies of different subject panels which often included mark deduction for late submission of assignments students had become more punctual and orderly in their homework submission To further encourage students to do well their homework assignments in order to achieve satisfactory learning outcomes the Most Outstanding Homework Performance Award Scheme was still carried out and a total of 44 and 52 students were awarded in the first term and the second term respectively
To have a better supervision from the school management and the subject panel heads on homework assignments to students including the
content and marking of the assignments the assignment inspection policy was carried out which required the subject panel heads to supervise the panel members over their making use of homework assignments in achieving their teaching objectives Panel heads could make use of the standard record forms of assignment inspection to see into the quality and the quantity of the assignments given by teachers and to evaluate the marking of the teachers and the ways they gave the comments and feedbacks The subject panel heads also had to submit their studentsrsquo assignments to the school management for the same kind of inspection
Besides assessment assignments studentsrsquo annual academic performance in school was formally assessed through tests and examinations
which made up the term marks and the examination marks of studentsrsquo annual scores respectively There were two examinations for each level of students every year For tests there were at least two assessments (testassignmentproject) for each subject within each term For junior forms there should be at least one test in the first term and preferably two tests in the second term while for senior forms the two assessments each term should be tests
The New Senior Secondary Curriculum provided teachers with great challenges in different aspects including assessment Teachers had been
especially careful to be accurate in using the standard referencing system to assess students on the levels they attained in different assessments and different subjects Two attempts were still made in the last school year to help teachers to conduct their level marking more confidently The first was to keep joining the HKDSE Mock Examination Papers Exchange Scheme organized by the Association of Principals of Secondary Schools of the Hong Kong Council of the Church of Christ in China Subject teachers who had joined the Scheme found it very helpful to conduct level marking by taking the marking criteria set by other schools as reference and examples The other attempt was to predict for students their levels of attainment in different subjects after the S6 Mid-year Examination and students were given their predicted grades on S6 Parentsrsquo Day as a way to help the students as well as their parents to prepare better for the Mock Examination and HKDSE The school joined for the second time the Pilot Study on Predicted Levels of 2014 Core Subjects (CEML) conducted by the Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority to study on the reliability of our prediction of
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014
- 25 -
studentsrsquo CEML subjects to evaluate teachersrsquo accuracy in level marking while reliable predicted grades will be useful for managing the expectation of students and their parents The School Report of the pilot study showed that there was a satisfactorily high correlation between the predicted grades awarded by our teachers to students and the actual level attained by students in 2014 HKDSE showing that teachers had a good understanding and knowledge on standard referencing and their level marking performance was very reliable
To match much better the level attainment system adopted by the New Senior Secondary Curriculum with the traditional marking system which
was revealed in studentsrsquo Academic Reports it was decided that the passing mark in senior form subjects would be changed from 50 to 40 of the total mark Such a change could also better reflect the possible level attainment obtained by students in HKDSE
Teachers were also very cautious in taking sophisticated procedures in conducting the School-based Assessment in the New Senior Secondary
Curriculum Students were assessed on the same tasks and with the same assessment criteria To achieve this students were given common SBA tasks across classes and the same standard of assessment The same criteria for awarding marks to all students were applied and in doing so consultation among teachers to align the marking criteria was often conducted and trial marking of samples of studentsrsquo work was constantly carried out Marks given were adjusted whenever necessary to ensure consistence of assessment standard Reference materials and archive materials were used to help standardizing marking Proper and sufficient guidance and supervision was provided to students to ensure the quality and authenticity of their work There was feedback and advice on improvement to students after the completion of marking to provide them with a fruitful learning experience

With the growing dropping rate of M1 and M2 in S5 and S6 there would only be a class of students admitted to S4 this year given the opportunity to study the Mathematics extensions but this study would only take place after they have been promoted to S5 In the meantime those S6 and S5 students who had withdrawn their study of an elective subject had still to attend supplementary Chinese and English lessons two periods for each language per cycle in the first term or the second term respectively For other spare periods these students had to conduct their self-directed learning in the school library while class and subject teachers were well aware of giving them more and better support through guidance or providing them with more supplementary work or exercises Those students who had withdrawn from studying the Mathematics extension parts had to attend supplementary Mathematics (Core) lessons to concentrate on improving their performance in the subject
Senior form students could also have other learning experiences within their normal lessons like Religious Education lessons for Moral amp Civic
Education PE lessons for Physical Development Career Education lessons in S4 for Career-Related Experiences as well as Aesthetic Development lessons For Career Education though it was not included as normal lessons in S5 and S6 it had still been implemented for the students as immersed programmes conducted in class teachersrsquo periods or assembly time for S5 and S6
Besides learning through the formal curriculum in classrooms students also learned without boundaries outside the classroom They took part
actively in the Cross-curricular Learning Day learning across subject boundaries in the form of thematic study like lsquoThe Changing Face of Centralrsquo (S1) lsquoWhatrsquos on the Menursquo (S2) lsquoField Study in Kingrsquos Parkrsquo (S3) lsquoLearning Positive Traits from Famous Peoplersquo (S4) and lsquoWorking Realityrsquo (S5) Moreover students enjoyed something like a knowledge carnival in the re-organized Inter-House General Quiz when both the House teams and the House members as audience were asked of questions from all the subjects they studied
Students also learned in a lively and creative way and gained significantly when they participated in some exchange or interflow activities or
attended the various enrichment or enhancement courses organized by the school or when they acquired other learning experiences outside the classroom
Students were given the opportunities to learn in other schools when they joined in some student interflow schemes like the Local Student
Exchange Scheme co-organized with Hong Kong True Light Middle School on April 1-3 2014 as well as with Queen Elizabeth School on April 9-10 2014 Students had also twice the time to have interflows with students from Guangzhou True Light Middle School on November 6-7 2013 and April 30 2014 Students who had become buddies of the student visitors from other schools could have especially gone through some brand new and unforgettable learning experiences
The Capacity Enhancement Grant (CEG) and the Diversity Learning (DLG) were well made use of to provide students with extra support to
further enrich their knowledge to enhance better their learning capacity and develop deeper their interests and skills Through CEG there were Enrichment Courses for S1-S3 Gifted Students in Mathematics an Interactive Drama Performance Course for S2 students Drama Courses to enhance S4 and S5 students in their English Learning Chinese Debating Courses for S2 to S4 students Physics Courses on lsquoArchitecture amp Mechanicsrsquo and lsquoElectromagnetismrsquo biotechnology experiments for Biology students in senior forms a Beginner Digital Photography Course and Student TV Training Course Through DLG there included a Learning English through Debating Extension Course a Learning English through Social Issues and Pop Culture Extension Course workshops on Chinese writing and composition Biology courses on lsquoForensic Sciencersquo and lsquoBiotechnology Experimentsrsquo and Mathematics and Liberal Studies enhancement courses for NSS students
Studentsrsquo knowledge horizons were also broadened when they participated in a variety of extra-curricular or co-curricular activities like visits
field trips and study tours abroad like to Singapore in January 2014 on Environmental Historical Cultural and English studies to mainland China (Beijing) for Cultural Studies and to Taiwan on Music Interfow Different subject panels had also worked through their respective academic societies to provide various innovative life-wide learning activities to arouse studentsrsquo interests and to enhance their ability in learning the disciplines Talks of academics or scholars had also been organized to help arouse studentsrsquo social consciousness and academic concerns

32 Teaching Strategies Our teachers had been incessantly acquiring and attempting to put into practice different kinds of teaching strategies to cater for the various
learning needs of our students in order to help them achieve the best learning outcomes Teachers always took up the role of facilitators in classrooms focusing at constructing an interactive classroom in order to arouse studentsrsquo learning motivation and help encourage their proactive learning Students were provided with various stimuli to help their learning like providing them with different scenarios to inspire them to explore every possible method to solve problems asking them graded and high order thinking questions to enhance their creativity and critical thinking skills and giving them carefully designed differentiated and challenging tasks to enrich their useful and meaningful learning opportunities in classrooms Teachers also provided timely and constructive feedbacks and compliments to students as recognition and reinforcement of their learning outcomes
Teachers also tended to have frequent applications of various information technology techniques and devices like the computing systems
visualizers ipads as well as the electronic whiteboards with the simultaneous response system to help reinforce their teaching strategies in creating a more interactive and effective learning environment to make learning and teaching more effective Teachers had been looking into the possibility of making a wider use of e-learning strategies like providing students with e-learning packages and resources through the eClass platform introducing e-textbooks to students and subscribing for them i-books for self-directed learning The first task had been taken for a few years while the other two tasks were still put under study
To improve the teaching strategies on catering for learning diversities our school had joined with other schools in the Learning Circle of Catering
for Learning Diversities organized by EDB to keep an interflow of related ideas and strategies with other schools The school had also participated in the research on ldquoHong Kong In-service Teachersrsquo Self-efficacy and Readiness for Differentiated Instruction for Diverse Learnersrsquo organized by the Faculty of Education of The Chinese University of Hong Kong in order to have a better understanding on the preparedness and readiness of our teachers at catering for learning diversities
Our teachers had also engaged themselves in an active sharing of teaching strategies as they contributed proactively their articles to the
publication of a Collection of Teaching Recollections of Teachers of True Light Girlsrsquo College called lsquoTrue Light Sharingrsquo in the last school year As seen from the four sections in the book teachers of different subjects shared with their colleagues and teachers of other schools their teaching plans lesson tips glowing new ideas in teaching as well as some teaching reflections
Teachers had been actively making use of the Collaborative Teaching Scheme and the Common Free Periods to work together and to learn from
each other for the purpose of refining and further developing their teaching strategies Through the Collaborative Teaching Scheme teachers teaching the same subjects or within the same KLA worked in teams each consisting of two or three teachers to work out and implement together some teaching plans with peer lesson observation and evaluation Specific attention was paid to develop teaching strategies for cross-curricular and cooperative learning while the scheming of student-oriented lessons to enhance active student involvement and learning autonomy was also emphasized with concerns for provoking high-order thinking and catering for learning diversities Common free periods were arranged when setting the timetables for teachers of English Chinese Mathematics and NSS Liberal Studies at each level to enhance their professional teaching collaboration in their lesson preparation and implementation Other subject teachers had mostly taken their own initiative to arrange for themselves the same practice for their professional sharing and development
To further enhance the effectiveness of our teaching strategies in order to bring about satisfactory learning outcomes of students it is still
necessary for our teachers to acquire improve and implement the teaching strategies concerning catering for learning diversities of high achievers low achievers as well as students with special education needs Steps have also to be taken to tailor-make the curriculum of different subjects for meaningful cross-curricular learning Cooperative learning should still be widely practiced not just in junior forms and for only some subjects More importantly teachers should acquire more knowledge and skills in fostering studentsrsquo self-directed learning which includes the use of teaching strategies to facilitate the e-learning and mobile learning of students

33 Assessment Studentsrsquo academic performance and learning outcomes had been continuously assessed by different modes of homework assignments quizzes
term tests and examinations Assessment for learning was greatly emphasized when giving students homework assignments to help consolidate their subject knowledge and
what they had learned in classroom Assignments which included various kinds like workbooks worksheets essay writing surveys projects case studies reports book reviews and newspaper cuttings etc were duly designed with diversified tasks and questions of varied difficulties Improvement could still be made in designing assignments to cater better for studentsrsquo diversified learning needs to adopt wider modes of assessment like self peer and parent assessments and to help students to conduct their self-directed study
To help students to put great emphasis on doing well their homework in order to consolidate their learning outcomes the Homework Submission
Scheme was adopted and implemented in these recent years to make students do and submit their homework assignments properly Together with the homework policies of different subject panels which often included mark deduction for late submission of assignments students had become more punctual and orderly in their homework submission To further encourage students to do well their homework assignments in order to achieve satisfactory learning outcomes the Most Outstanding Homework Performance Award Scheme was still carried out and a total of 44 and 52 students were awarded in the first term and the second term respectively
To have a better supervision from the school management and the subject panel heads on homework assignments to students including the
content and marking of the assignments the assignment inspection policy was carried out which required the subject panel heads to supervise the panel members over their making use of homework assignments in achieving their teaching objectives Panel heads could make use of the standard record forms of assignment inspection to see into the quality and the quantity of the assignments given by teachers and to evaluate the marking of the teachers and the ways they gave the comments and feedbacks The subject panel heads also had to submit their studentsrsquo assignments to the school management for the same kind of inspection
Besides assessment assignments studentsrsquo annual academic performance in school was formally assessed through tests and examinations
which made up the term marks and the examination marks of studentsrsquo annual scores respectively There were two examinations for each level of students every year For tests there were at least two assessments (testassignmentproject) for each subject within each term For junior forms there should be at least one test in the first term and preferably two tests in the second term while for senior forms the two assessments each term should be tests
The New Senior Secondary Curriculum provided teachers with great challenges in different aspects including assessment Teachers had been
especially careful to be accurate in using the standard referencing system to assess students on the levels they attained in different assessments and different subjects Two attempts were still made in the last school year to help teachers to conduct their level marking more confidently The first was to keep joining the HKDSE Mock Examination Papers Exchange Scheme organized by the Association of Principals of Secondary Schools of the Hong Kong Council of the Church of Christ in China Subject teachers who had joined the Scheme found it very helpful to conduct level marking by taking the marking criteria set by other schools as reference and examples The other attempt was to predict for students their levels of attainment in different subjects after the S6 Mid-year Examination and students were given their predicted grades on S6 Parentsrsquo Day as a way to help the students as well as their parents to prepare better for the Mock Examination and HKDSE The school joined for the second time the Pilot Study on Predicted Levels of 2014 Core Subjects (CEML) conducted by the Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority to study on the reliability of our prediction of
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014
- 25 -
studentsrsquo CEML subjects to evaluate teachersrsquo accuracy in level marking while reliable predicted grades will be useful for managing the expectation of students and their parents The School Report of the pilot study showed that there was a satisfactorily high correlation between the predicted grades awarded by our teachers to students and the actual level attained by students in 2014 HKDSE showing that teachers had a good understanding and knowledge on standard referencing and their level marking performance was very reliable
To match much better the level attainment system adopted by the New Senior Secondary Curriculum with the traditional marking system which
was revealed in studentsrsquo Academic Reports it was decided that the passing mark in senior form subjects would be changed from 50 to 40 of the total mark Such a change could also better reflect the possible level attainment obtained by students in HKDSE
Teachers were also very cautious in taking sophisticated procedures in conducting the School-based Assessment in the New Senior Secondary
Curriculum Students were assessed on the same tasks and with the same assessment criteria To achieve this students were given common SBA tasks across classes and the same standard of assessment The same criteria for awarding marks to all students were applied and in doing so consultation among teachers to align the marking criteria was often conducted and trial marking of samples of studentsrsquo work was constantly carried out Marks given were adjusted whenever necessary to ensure consistence of assessment standard Reference materials and archive materials were used to help standardizing marking Proper and sufficient guidance and supervision was provided to students to ensure the quality and authenticity of their work There was feedback and advice on improvement to students after the completion of marking to provide them with a fruitful learning experience

32 Teaching Strategies Our teachers had been incessantly acquiring and attempting to put into practice different kinds of teaching strategies to cater for the various
learning needs of our students in order to help them achieve the best learning outcomes Teachers always took up the role of facilitators in classrooms focusing at constructing an interactive classroom in order to arouse studentsrsquo learning motivation and help encourage their proactive learning Students were provided with various stimuli to help their learning like providing them with different scenarios to inspire them to explore every possible method to solve problems asking them graded and high order thinking questions to enhance their creativity and critical thinking skills and giving them carefully designed differentiated and challenging tasks to enrich their useful and meaningful learning opportunities in classrooms Teachers also provided timely and constructive feedbacks and compliments to students as recognition and reinforcement of their learning outcomes
Teachers also tended to have frequent applications of various information technology techniques and devices like the computing systems
visualizers ipads as well as the electronic whiteboards with the simultaneous response system to help reinforce their teaching strategies in creating a more interactive and effective learning environment to make learning and teaching more effective Teachers had been looking into the possibility of making a wider use of e-learning strategies like providing students with e-learning packages and resources through the eClass platform introducing e-textbooks to students and subscribing for them i-books for self-directed learning The first task had been taken for a few years while the other two tasks were still put under study
To improve the teaching strategies on catering for learning diversities our school had joined with other schools in the Learning Circle of Catering
for Learning Diversities organized by EDB to keep an interflow of related ideas and strategies with other schools The school had also participated in the research on ldquoHong Kong In-service Teachersrsquo Self-efficacy and Readiness for Differentiated Instruction for Diverse Learnersrsquo organized by the Faculty of Education of The Chinese University of Hong Kong in order to have a better understanding on the preparedness and readiness of our teachers at catering for learning diversities
Our teachers had also engaged themselves in an active sharing of teaching strategies as they contributed proactively their articles to the
publication of a Collection of Teaching Recollections of Teachers of True Light Girlsrsquo College called lsquoTrue Light Sharingrsquo in the last school year As seen from the four sections in the book teachers of different subjects shared with their colleagues and teachers of other schools their teaching plans lesson tips glowing new ideas in teaching as well as some teaching reflections
Teachers had been actively making use of the Collaborative Teaching Scheme and the Common Free Periods to work together and to learn from
each other for the purpose of refining and further developing their teaching strategies Through the Collaborative Teaching Scheme teachers teaching the same subjects or within the same KLA worked in teams each consisting of two or three teachers to work out and implement together some teaching plans with peer lesson observation and evaluation Specific attention was paid to develop teaching strategies for cross-curricular and cooperative learning while the scheming of student-oriented lessons to enhance active student involvement and learning autonomy was also emphasized with concerns for provoking high-order thinking and catering for learning diversities Common free periods were arranged when setting the timetables for teachers of English Chinese Mathematics and NSS Liberal Studies at each level to enhance their professional teaching collaboration in their lesson preparation and implementation Other subject teachers had mostly taken their own initiative to arrange for themselves the same practice for their professional sharing and development
To further enhance the effectiveness of our teaching strategies in order to bring about satisfactory learning outcomes of students it is still
necessary for our teachers to acquire improve and implement the teaching strategies concerning catering for learning diversities of high achievers low achievers as well as students with special education needs Steps have also to be taken to tailor-make the curriculum of different subjects for meaningful cross-curricular learning Cooperative learning should still be widely practiced not just in junior forms and for only some subjects More importantly teachers should acquire more knowledge and skills in fostering studentsrsquo self-directed learning which includes the use of teaching strategies to facilitate the e-learning and mobile learning of students

33 Assessment Studentsrsquo academic performance and learning outcomes had been continuously assessed by different modes of homework assignments quizzes
term tests and examinations Assessment for learning was greatly emphasized when giving students homework assignments to help consolidate their subject knowledge and
what they had learned in classroom Assignments which included various kinds like workbooks worksheets essay writing surveys projects case studies reports book reviews and newspaper cuttings etc were duly designed with diversified tasks and questions of varied difficulties Improvement could still be made in designing assignments to cater better for studentsrsquo diversified learning needs to adopt wider modes of assessment like self peer and parent assessments and to help students to conduct their self-directed study
To help students to put great emphasis on doing well their homework in order to consolidate their learning outcomes the Homework Submission
Scheme was adopted and implemented in these recent years to make students do and submit their homework assignments properly Together with the homework policies of different subject panels which often included mark deduction for late submission of assignments students had become more punctual and orderly in their homework submission To further encourage students to do well their homework assignments in order to achieve satisfactory learning outcomes the Most Outstanding Homework Performance Award Scheme was still carried out and a total of 44 and 52 students were awarded in the first term and the second term respectively
To have a better supervision from the school management and the subject panel heads on homework assignments to students including the
content and marking of the assignments the assignment inspection policy was carried out which required the subject panel heads to supervise the panel members over their making use of homework assignments in achieving their teaching objectives Panel heads could make use of the standard record forms of assignment inspection to see into the quality and the quantity of the assignments given by teachers and to evaluate the marking of the teachers and the ways they gave the comments and feedbacks The subject panel heads also had to submit their studentsrsquo assignments to the school management for the same kind of inspection
Besides assessment assignments studentsrsquo annual academic performance in school was formally assessed through tests and examinations
which made up the term marks and the examination marks of studentsrsquo annual scores respectively There were two examinations for each level of students every year For tests there were at least two assessments (testassignmentproject) for each subject within each term For junior forms there should be at least one test in the first term and preferably two tests in the second term while for senior forms the two assessments each term should be tests
The New Senior Secondary Curriculum provided teachers with great challenges in different aspects including assessment Teachers had been
especially careful to be accurate in using the standard referencing system to assess students on the levels they attained in different assessments and different subjects Two attempts were still made in the last school year to help teachers to conduct their level marking more confidently The first was to keep joining the HKDSE Mock Examination Papers Exchange Scheme organized by the Association of Principals of Secondary Schools of the Hong Kong Council of the Church of Christ in China Subject teachers who had joined the Scheme found it very helpful to conduct level marking by taking the marking criteria set by other schools as reference and examples The other attempt was to predict for students their levels of attainment in different subjects after the S6 Mid-year Examination and students were given their predicted grades on S6 Parentsrsquo Day as a way to help the students as well as their parents to prepare better for the Mock Examination and HKDSE The school joined for the second time the Pilot Study on Predicted Levels of 2014 Core Subjects (CEML) conducted by the Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority to study on the reliability of our prediction of
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014
- 25 -
studentsrsquo CEML subjects to evaluate teachersrsquo accuracy in level marking while reliable predicted grades will be useful for managing the expectation of students and their parents The School Report of the pilot study showed that there was a satisfactorily high correlation between the predicted grades awarded by our teachers to students and the actual level attained by students in 2014 HKDSE showing that teachers had a good understanding and knowledge on standard referencing and their level marking performance was very reliable
To match much better the level attainment system adopted by the New Senior Secondary Curriculum with the traditional marking system which
was revealed in studentsrsquo Academic Reports it was decided that the passing mark in senior form subjects would be changed from 50 to 40 of the total mark Such a change could also better reflect the possible level attainment obtained by students in HKDSE
Teachers were also very cautious in taking sophisticated procedures in conducting the School-based Assessment in the New Senior Secondary
Curriculum Students were assessed on the same tasks and with the same assessment criteria To achieve this students were given common SBA tasks across classes and the same standard of assessment The same criteria for awarding marks to all students were applied and in doing so consultation among teachers to align the marking criteria was often conducted and trial marking of samples of studentsrsquo work was constantly carried out Marks given were adjusted whenever necessary to ensure consistence of assessment standard Reference materials and archive materials were used to help standardizing marking Proper and sufficient guidance and supervision was provided to students to ensure the quality and authenticity of their work There was feedback and advice on improvement to students after the completion of marking to provide them with a fruitful learning experience

33 Assessment Studentsrsquo academic performance and learning outcomes had been continuously assessed by different modes of homework assignments quizzes
term tests and examinations Assessment for learning was greatly emphasized when giving students homework assignments to help consolidate their subject knowledge and
what they had learned in classroom Assignments which included various kinds like workbooks worksheets essay writing surveys projects case studies reports book reviews and newspaper cuttings etc were duly designed with diversified tasks and questions of varied difficulties Improvement could still be made in designing assignments to cater better for studentsrsquo diversified learning needs to adopt wider modes of assessment like self peer and parent assessments and to help students to conduct their self-directed study
To help students to put great emphasis on doing well their homework in order to consolidate their learning outcomes the Homework Submission
Scheme was adopted and implemented in these recent years to make students do and submit their homework assignments properly Together with the homework policies of different subject panels which often included mark deduction for late submission of assignments students had become more punctual and orderly in their homework submission To further encourage students to do well their homework assignments in order to achieve satisfactory learning outcomes the Most Outstanding Homework Performance Award Scheme was still carried out and a total of 44 and 52 students were awarded in the first term and the second term respectively
To have a better supervision from the school management and the subject panel heads on homework assignments to students including the
content and marking of the assignments the assignment inspection policy was carried out which required the subject panel heads to supervise the panel members over their making use of homework assignments in achieving their teaching objectives Panel heads could make use of the standard record forms of assignment inspection to see into the quality and the quantity of the assignments given by teachers and to evaluate the marking of the teachers and the ways they gave the comments and feedbacks The subject panel heads also had to submit their studentsrsquo assignments to the school management for the same kind of inspection
Besides assessment assignments studentsrsquo annual academic performance in school was formally assessed through tests and examinations
which made up the term marks and the examination marks of studentsrsquo annual scores respectively There were two examinations for each level of students every year For tests there were at least two assessments (testassignmentproject) for each subject within each term For junior forms there should be at least one test in the first term and preferably two tests in the second term while for senior forms the two assessments each term should be tests
The New Senior Secondary Curriculum provided teachers with great challenges in different aspects including assessment Teachers had been
especially careful to be accurate in using the standard referencing system to assess students on the levels they attained in different assessments and different subjects Two attempts were still made in the last school year to help teachers to conduct their level marking more confidently The first was to keep joining the HKDSE Mock Examination Papers Exchange Scheme organized by the Association of Principals of Secondary Schools of the Hong Kong Council of the Church of Christ in China Subject teachers who had joined the Scheme found it very helpful to conduct level marking by taking the marking criteria set by other schools as reference and examples The other attempt was to predict for students their levels of attainment in different subjects after the S6 Mid-year Examination and students were given their predicted grades on S6 Parentsrsquo Day as a way to help the students as well as their parents to prepare better for the Mock Examination and HKDSE The school joined for the second time the Pilot Study on Predicted Levels of 2014 Core Subjects (CEML) conducted by the Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority to study on the reliability of our prediction of
True Light Girlsrsquo College School Report (SR) 2013-2014
- 25 -
studentsrsquo CEML subjects to evaluate teachersrsquo accuracy in level marking while reliable predicted grades will be useful for managing the expectation of students and their parents The School Report of the pilot study showed that there was a satisfactorily high correlation between the predicted grades awarded by our teachers to students and the actual level attained by students in 2014 HKDSE showing that teachers had a good understanding and knowledge on standard referencing and their level marking performance was very reliable
To match much better the level attainment system adopted by the New Senior Secondary Curriculum with the traditional marking system which
was revealed in studentsrsquo Academic Reports it was decided that the passing mark in senior form subjects would be changed from 50 to 40 of the total mark Such a change could also better reflect the possible level attainment obtained by students in HKDSE
Teachers were also very cautious in taking sophisticated procedures in conducting the School-based Assessment in the New Senior Secondary
Curriculum Students were assessed on the same tasks and with the same assessment criteria To achieve this students were given common SBA tasks across classes and the same standard of assessment The same criteria for awarding marks to all students were applied and in doing so consultation among teachers to align the marking criteria was often conducted and trial marking of samples of studentsrsquo work was constantly carried out Marks given were adjusted whenever necessary to ensure consistence of assessment standard Reference materials and archive materials were used to help standardizing marking Proper and sufficient guidance and supervision was provided to students to ensure the quality and authenticity of their work There was feedback and advice on improvement to students after the completion of marking to provide them with a fruitful learning experience

studentsrsquo CEML subjects to evaluate teachersrsquo accuracy in level marking while reliable predicted grades will be useful for managing the expectation of students and their parents The School Report of the pilot study showed that there was a satisfactorily high correlation between the predicted grades awarded by our teachers to students and the actual level attained by students in 2014 HKDSE showing that teachers had a good understanding and knowledge on standard referencing and their level marking performance was very reliable
To match much better the level attainment system adopted by the New Senior Secondary Curriculum with the traditional marking system which
was revealed in studentsrsquo Academic Reports it was decided that the passing mark in senior form subjects would be changed from 50 to 40 of the total mark Such a change could also better reflect the possible level attainment obtained by students in HKDSE
Teachers were also very cautious in taking sophisticated procedures in conducting the School-based Assessment in the New Senior Secondary
Curriculum Students were assessed on the same tasks and with the same assessment criteria To achieve this students were given common SBA tasks across classes and the same standard of assessment The same criteria for awarding marks to all students were applied and in doing so consultation among teachers to align the marking criteria was often conducted and trial marking of samples of studentsrsquo work was constantly carried out Marks given were adjusted whenever necessary to ensure consistence of assessment standard Reference materials and archive materials were used to help standardizing marking Proper and sufficient guidance and supervision was provided to students to ensure the quality and authenticity of their work There was feedback and advice on improvement to students after the completion of marking to provide them with a fruitful learning experience
