Learning and teaching effectiveness is enhanced through alignment with appropriate assessment measures. Our school adopts formative assessment to provide effective feedback that motivates students to improve their learning. Our students are assessed through a diversity of assessment modes. Self-assessment and peer-assessment are adopted to provide opportunities for students to learn and improve through understanding their own learning progress. Curriculum tailoring is also be arranged to cater for individual learning differences. Special examination arrangements are provided for students in needs according to the suggestions made by the Hong Kong Examinations & Assessment Authority.

It is our school’s Major Concern to nurture students to be self-directed, independent and active learners. We aim at developing in students good study habits for effective learning both inside and outside the classroom; as well as equipping students with the necessary generic skills for applications in authentic contexts. The “Learning Celebration” held every term has also helped enhance a culture of learning, sharing and appreciation among students. Having the campus e-learning infrastructure enhanced, our school has implemented the "Bring you own device" policy. With the full sponsorship of an alumnus, all students can have their own tablet devices for mobile learning. Students are encouraged to make good use of the multimedia resources for self-directed learning and interacting with each other.

To foster home-school cooperation, parent meetings are held to enable parents to understand the learning and developmental needs of students in different stages of growth. Form-teacher-parent meetings are held twice a year to help parents understand the progress of their children at school. Communication between parents and the school is facilitated by the Parent-Teacher Association (PTA), which acts as a bridge between the two parties to enhance the parents' understanding of school culture and policies. PTA holds various talks and workshops on parent education to share experience of how parents can nurture their children. It also sponsors learning activities and offers awards such as Academic Improvement Award and Improvement in Conduct Award. It also organises activities to foster harmonious family relationships, e.g. picnics, and actively participates in school activities such as Sports Day, Parents Days and the Graduation Ceremony. Parent managers also contribute a lot in the IMC, providing opinions on the setting and implementation of our school policies. In the Stakeholders' Survey, parents highly recognize our school culture. Our parents also communicate well with the teachers and the school. With such a harmonious relationship, an excellent collaboration platform has been built to facilitate the healthy development of our students.

Our school provides additional support for NCS students to facilitate their learning of Chinese: providing after-school support programmes in learning Chinese; appointing additional teacher(s)/teaching assistant(s) to support NCS students’ learning of Chinese; and organising activities to create an inclusive learning environment in the school.

To take care of students with special education needs (SEN), the Student Support Team (which is composed of SEN Coordinator, experienced guidance teachers, as well as Chinese & English languages teachers) works hand in hand with parents to cater for students’ individual needs. The Student Support Team makes good use of Learning Support Grant to provide services to SEN students, such as speech therapy services, training on social skills, remedial learning groups and counselling of life planning. Our school-based educational psychologist, clinical psychologist, school-based speech therapist and social workers also provide appropriate counselling to students concerned.

To cater for learning diversity, junior form students are allocated to small group Chinese and Mathematics classes, and all Form 1-6 students are placed in English classes according to their abilities. The Catering for Learning Diversity Team has arranged programmes and courses, such as elite English writing, Mathematics Olympiad and Endeavour classes to unleash the potential of our students. Cognitio Elites provide mentorship programmes and various enhancement programmes for gifted students to further lift up their potential. Elite students join programmes organised by universities, reading, writing and IT courses to further nurture their multiple intelligences. Various grants are deployed to employ experts, extra teachers and supporting staff to address the diversity of students’ learning ability.
