Discipline
Having merged with Counseling more than a year ago, the school in theory has no
discipline team, and it has been able to cultivate good characters in students without
one, in the absence of a demerit system.
The rationales for not having a demerit system are
• Forgiveness and acceptance by the school
• Self reflection and self discipline on the part of all students
“I would be true, for there are those who trust me”
“I would be pure, for there are those who care”
Number of discipline cases
• Bullying 7
• Cheating 3
• Plagiarism 6

� There was difficulty
to employ and retain

� The increased
workloads of
teachers could mean
sacrifice in other
areas.
� ~5% parents and
students still thought
that speaking should
take the back seat in
learning a language,
and demonstrated
some resistance in
joining co-curricular
speaking activities
and open up.
� The heavy reliance
on parent and
alumni helpers could
be better
coordinated.
� Efforts will continue
to incorporate
speaking practices
into students’ daily
life.

� Weekly lunchtime concerts
� Inter-house/ class competitions
� Book fairs
� Sick bay duties
� F.1 Orientation Day
� Recycling programs
� Operation Santa Claus (Candy

Outside school student service
opportunities included but were not
limited to the following:
� “One Service Each”
� Uniform groups (Red Cross,
Guides, Scout)
� St. John’s Cathedral Michaelmas
Fair
� St. John’s Cathedral Walkathon.
� Flag selling
� Joint-school Volunteers’
Association
� Cycling for fund raising
� Visits to elderly homes
� Charity bazaar of chocolate
� Christmas bazaar
[All supported in principle the need to
serve.]
[Attendance ranged from 78-100%.]
[Teachers’ evaluation of the programs
varied from acceptable to excellent.]
[~25% students found difficulty in
juggling service and academic work,
frequently feeling the absolute
importance of the latter and thus too
easily sacrificing the former. ~40%
admitted using the latter as an excuse
to evade service obligations.]
out to their primary-
school counterparts in
the HK East
neighborhood.
� ~ 20% students did
not appear to fully
understand the true
meaning of service.
Efforts would be
stepped up to convey
the joy and
significance of
helping others, as
opposed to the
testimonial evidence
of services rendered.
� With ~ 12% students
having emerged as
being good to
outstanding in serving
others, they should be
given a leadership role
in next year’s service
activities.
� Better coordination
among different
bodies would be
beneficial. It is
recommended that an
overall supervisory
unit be formed to
explore, plan and
coordinate service
programs of different
natures and for
different levels and
abilities.
� Staff development
would be enhanced to
galvanize support and
involvement.
� Time management
skills training would
have to be reinforced.
� Award incentives
could help.

Major Concern Three: Motivation
Intended
Targets
Achievements & Areas for
Improvement
Reflections
Honor rolls
Prizes &
scholarships
� Entries for honors, awards and
scholarships were up 30-40% from
the previous year.
� Several external awards were won
the first time in the school history.
� The number of external scholarships
won was up ~35%.
� All honored
would be shared
among all staff
and students, and
credit given to all,
instead of
diverting the
glamour on the
winners alone.
This would
nurture an even
stronger sense of
belonging to the
school.
� Winners would
play a bigger role
in guiding their
peers who attempt
to obtain similar
honors.
Mentorship
schemes
� After School Homework Supervision
(for the junior forms)
[Demand was 200% greater than
supply, and students with no adults
at home after school hours were
given priority.]
[Average attendance ~ 90%]
[Full parent support]
� Saturday Intensive Learning
programs (for F.4,5)
[Initial reluctance was observed in
~20% participants, which gradually
vanished.]
[Average attendance ~ 90%]
� Summer work habit development
[Average attendance – 95%]
[~5% parents expressed closer
academic work supervision than
effort in good work habit
development.]
� Core subjects tutorials (for the junior
forms)
[Average attendance ~ 90%]
[There were requests to extend the
tutorials to other subjects

effort definitely
worth pursuing.
