Special / Overseas Programmes for Students

 

This school year, all Secondary One, Two and Three students are streamed into sets for English Language, Chinese Language and Mathematics to facilitate learning according to the level and ability of the students. For each level in the junior forms, three sets have their Chinese Language lessons conducted in Putonghua. The other sets continue to use Cantonese.

There are Spanish and Japanese lessons held after school hours catering to those interested in learning other languages. Drama workshops are offered to those interested while the whole school is provided with opportunities to savour quality drama productions. Also, various co-curricular and exchange programmes will be run for students at different form levels. These include the Mini-Summer Term with special focuses for different Junior Secondary forms and the New Student Orientation Programme, as well as Bridging courses for English and Mathematics for those newly entering Diocesan Girls’ School from the Diocesan Girls' Junior School and other schools.

Overseas student exchange programmes are also conducted with schools in Australia, Mainland China, New Zealand, Singapore, and the United States to enhance academic exchange and cultural awareness.
