Introduction

Liberal Studies as a core subject in the three-year senior secondary curriculum aims to help students understand themselves, their relations with others and the environment in which they live. The intention is not to turn students into specialists in any well-defined academic field, but to enable them to become informed, rational and responsible citizens of the local, national and global community.
 
For F1 to F3, a school-based Liberal Studies curriculum is implemented to cater for students with different abilities, interests and needs. Instead of examinations, our school adopts a series of teaching and learning activities, together with project learning, to conduct formative assessment of students’ learning. We aim to help students to better grasp the learning style of Liberal Studies in their junior secondary years.
 
For senior forms, in addition to the use of textbooks, supplementary worksheets are designed to enhance teaching and learning. In addition, in collaboration with different educational organizations, various learning activities are arranged for students, for example, “Visiting a squatter area”, “Life wide learning activity” and various L.S. competitions. Not only can these activities broaden students’ horizons, but also enrich their learning experience. In such a way students are provided with opportunities to understand problems in every facet of life.
