The school has developed the Integrated Boarding Programme as a leadership development opportunity for all Sec 3 students, and would strongly encourage Sec 3 students to participate for a term unless they have good reasons otherwise. The residential experience will also prepare the students for overseas exchange programmes at the end of the year.

During the tests period, there will not be any IBP activity for 2 to 3 weeks to allow time for revision. The respective boarding mentors will also be monitoring the students’ academic development closely. As such, if you are disciplined to do your work consistently, you should be alright.

Students will have access to the sport facilities in the school and a gym at the boarding school. We strongly encourage that you schedule time with your friends to engage in sports or games after school. There are four music studios at the boarding school that you can book free-of-charge to practise.
