Students are taught to respect others, strive for academic excellence, and care for the school so as to create a harmonious and orderly school culture. The school organizes various activities such as the Big Brother and Big Sister Scheme and Leadership Scheme for students’ whole person development. This also helps students to have good self-understanding, develop their potential and cultivate positive values, in order to become a self-loving teenager with self respect. In addition, Quality Circle is formed at all levels. It aims to combine the resources of the class teachers of the same grade to provide comprehensive care to the students.
In observance of the guiding principle of Sik Sik Yuen, "To act benevolently and to preach benevolence", which is also our School Motto, together with the teachings of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, our School teaches and instills in our students a strong sense of probity, benevolence and civic duty. We emphasize whole person development for our students through moral, intellectual, physical, social and aesthetic education, leading to the enhancement of abilities for independent thinking, self-learning and life-long learning.
