Language Policy

The medium of instruction in BPS in all subjects is English except for Chinese Language, Chinese Literature, Chinese History and Putonghua.

The school makes English enhancement a top priority. To cultivate an English-rich environment, we employ two NET teachers and offer Literature in English across all levels. For Liberal Studies, English is employed as the medium of instruction from S.1 to S.3, all the way through to the NSS. We believe that this will accommodate the learning styles of our students and enable them to think critically and express themselves proficiently in English.

Other than that, our school is committed to the implementation of bi-literacy and tri-lingualism. To this end, a spectrum of learning programmes and activities are organized every year, adding vibrancy and colour to school life. Growing up in a school environment that recognizes language talent, our students have made distinguished achievements in speech and drama. The budding poets, young writers, avid readers, award-winning actresses and skilled debaters we produce every year bear testimony to the passion and talent of our students in language learning.

Actually, our school has made a further stride in language education. To cater for the diverse interest and abilities of our students, we started offering Modern Languages from the 2008-09 school year. With the partnership and full support of the Department of Modern Languages of the University of Hong Kong, we are now able to allow students to enroll for foreign language courses of their own choice. This year, we are able to run courses on French and Japanese, each amounting to 100 hours.

It is our conviction that our students' potential will be realized to the full if we can offer a broad and balanced curriculum that embraces diversity and believes in the self-actualizing power of every child.
