II. Our School
Introduction to the School
Holy Family Canossian College is a government aided English secondary school for girls
founded by the Sisters of the Canossian Daughters of Charity. The school was completed
in October 1972 and the official opening was held on 21 December 1973. The school first
came into existence with 400 students and 13 teaching staff. Under the guidance and
concerted efforts of Canossian Sisters and teachers, it steadily grew and expanded in all
aspects. The School consisted of S1 to S7 classes, with 995 students and around 81
teachers and staff.
Following the Canossian philosophy of education, our teachers are dedicated in their
commitment to offering an all-round development of our students. Emphasis is on
grooming students’ potential to become caring and self-directed learning individuals. The
school motto: United In Love draws its inspiration from the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary
and Joseph. Together, teachers and students strive to shine forth the spirit of Peace, Joy,
Harmony and Praise, living in communion of hearts for on-going formation and growth.
School Premises and Facilities
The school occupies an area of about 4338 square metres with 30 well-equipped
air-conditioned classrooms. There are 4 laboratories and various special rooms catering
for the diverse needs of the school curriculum. The School Improvement Programme was
completed in 2006, with a new block erected to provide more space and facilities for
learning and teaching.
In preparation for the New Senior Secondary Education (NSS), the English Language
Centre, the Library, the Personal, Social and Humanities Education (PSHE) Resource
Centre and the newly renovated Multi-Media Learning Centre (MMLC) are well-equipped
with up-to-date resources to encourage self-directed and self-access learning activities to
take place.
School Management
School-based management started in 1995 and a School Consultative Committee was set up
in 2005 to give opinions on school administration and management.
The School Management Committee (SMC) was composed of six members from the
sponsoring body.

Support for Student Development
The school has established a defined organization framework to support students’
moral, intellectual, physical, social, aesthetic, spiritual and emotional growth.
To live up to the Canossian education mission, our students took an active role in
community service and spiritual formation activities. The Religious Formation Team
held a series of evangelization programmes throughout the year.
To celebrate the 150th Anniversary of the Canossian Mission to the Far East, together
with 2 other Canossian secondary schools, a team named the Formation of Heart was
set up to learn how to render service with a difference.
Following the service spirit of our Foundress, a team of 50 young leaders called “Mano
Lunga” was nominated to learn to offer academic and peer counselling to their junior
schoolmates.
To enable students to develop an understanding of their learning capabilities, an award
system, the Self-access Learning Community was formed this year.
The Internal Scholarships were expanded to further motivate students to an all-round
development. Apart from academic achievements, students’ outstanding qualities in
service, leadership, aesthetics and character were fostered.
The Students’ Association (SA) played an important role in promoting student
leadership and learning. The SA took the lead in reinforcing the school body to be
eco-wise. A green policy was drafted to arouse fellow students’ attention to their role
in contributing to a greener world in the school campus.
IV. Our Learning and Teaching With the first year of the New Senior Secondary (NSS) implementation, the school’s major
concerns for the last and next two years were to “Capture Opportunities, Actualize
Potentials”. In 2009-2010, a whole-school approach was adopted to realize the school
theme “Building a School of Readers” that emphasized reading for knowledge and making
reading a habit for life.
With the collaborative efforts of the school Library and the Reading Team, a series of
activities were organized to create an environment conducive to reading. Book
sharing by students, teachers, parents, alumnae as well as professionals were held
throughout the year.
The school-based Vertical Curriculum of the NSS Curriculum Structure and its Key
Assessment Activities with their related generic skills were devised to serve as guide
for learning and teaching at all levels.
Other Learning Experiences (OLE) were extended to prepare students for the NSS
university entrance requirements. Drama, Music and Visual Arts lessons were
introduced to enrich their aesthetic competence.
The Multi-media Learning Centre (MMLC) was renovated to create the setting for
open forums and presentations, thus promoting students’ social awareness, and
impromptu discussion before a large audience.

V. Major Concerns (Achievements and Reflections)
Priority 1: Whole-school Approach to Reading for Life
Achievements
1. Whole-school Approach to Reading for Life
The whole-school was involved in reading enhancement programmes which
included:
Book sharing by students, teachers, parents, alumnae as well as professionals;
A total of 15 book promotion activities, focusing on a variety of themes to
expose students to diverse reading materials;
A 42-hour Readathon launched during the Lunar New Year Holidays to develop
and sustain students’ interest in reading and thus enhancing their reading
habits; and
Students’ radio story broadcasts, quizzes and nomination of their Favourite
Books on 23 April 2010, World Book Day.
A collection of students’ Chinese writing over the last 2 years was published in April
2010, motivating students to enjoy reading their peers’ works of creation.
All students joined the English Builder and Wisenews programmes which provided a
relevant and immediate resource to develop their reading habits.
Book promotion sessions scheduled on every Thursday during the morning
assembly drew students’ attention to the diverse reading materials available in the
library.
All stakeholders were invited to recommend their favourite books using the
bookmark specially designed for this purpose.
Donations from Secondary 5 and 7 graduates were used to purchase books to enrich
the collection in the PSHE Learning Centre.
2. Reading up to Heighten Green Awareness
An Inter-house Competition which aimed to promote extensive reading on
environmental protection issues in the form of fashion shows and quizzes was held.
The Students’ Association drafted a green policy and organized the No
Air-conditioning Week to encourage fellow schoolmates to help to conserve energy
and build a green world.
Reflections
Quality of students’ sharing in the morning assembly was very much enhanced.
Consideration could be made to arrange Class Teachers and Assistant Class Teachers
to supervise the students in their choice of reading during the Reading Time.
Strategic reading skills could be introduced to students at all levels in order to
sustain their reading habits for life.
A list of recommended and prescribed booklist could be compiled to widen students’
scope of reading for enjoyment and academic purposes.
9
Priority 2: Communicative and Diversified Learning Approaches
Achievements
1. Encouraging Collaborative Learning in Liberal Studies (LS)
Set lesson time was arranged to encourage LS teachers to have the time and space
for collaborative lesson planning, materials design and peer class observation.
A students’ manual on Independent Enquiry Studies (IES) was produced to provide
a self-directed project research guide for students.
An Education Consultant was invited to give professional guidance and supervision
on LS teachers’ lesson design, paper setting as well as approaches to assessing
students’ learning progress.
Good practices observed were shared in school-based staff development sessions.
2. Setting up of Self-access Learning Community (SALC)
The SALC was set up to encourage students to learn on their own initiative.
Secondary 1 students who were less proficient in English language were encouraged
to join the online Clarity brush-up English programmes.
The initial response to this programme was promising as over 30% of our students
were awarded a certificate for their participation.
A team of teachers helped to prepare the resources and give small-group coaching to
needy students in their learning process.
Reflections
To encourage pedagogical change in the NSS classroom, efforts should be made to
develop a shared understanding among teachers of the strategies adopted in LS
learning and teaching.
Questioning techniques were to be further explored to stretch students’ potential to
develop higher-order thinking.
A more simplified version of the SALC award system would help to direct students’
attention to the self-monitored programme for self-enhancement in the 5 aspects of
development in focus.
Students’ strengths, weaknesses and areas for improvement could be more carefully
reviewed using the data gathered in the SALC Learning Profile.
10
Priority 3: Leadership Enhancement
Achievements
1. Setting up “Mano Lunga” (Guidance Sisters) to Tutor their Juniors
A team of 50 young leaders called “Mano Lunga” was nominated. These young
leaders were given training from teachers to develop their language and
mathematics skills so as to offer academic and peer counselling to their junior
schoolmates.
This team conducted an Orientation Day Camp specially designed for new
Secondary 1 students to familiarize themselves with the learning spirit of the school.
Small group tutorials were organized on a regular basis to foster sisterhood among
Holy Familians and strengthen junior students’ performance in learning.
As part of the leadership training, a group of 35 student leaders together with the
“Mano Lunga” visited the Shanghai Expo 2010 China in mid-July to gain first-hand
understanding about “Better City, Better Life”, and hence bring home ideas for
better school, better world.
2. Taking part in Joint School Community Service Projects
A joint school service team called the Formation of Heart was set up to enable our
potential students to learn how to render service with a difference.
Fifteen self-nominated members were selected to undergo series of training and
exposure programmes.
This group of students took time to visit children of ethnic groups and the
abandoned animals.
Reflections
To promote the Canossian service spirit, the “Mano Lunga” could join hands with the
SALC in enhancing self-motivated learning among Secondary 1 and 2 students.
Class Teachers could help in identifying potential young leaders and creating more
opportunities for students to enhance their competence and confidence in the course of
serving fellow classmates.
Members of the Formation of Heart could pass on their service skills to other school
teams in leading and coordinating the Caritas Bazaar to be held in November 2010.

Evaluation on the Usage of Various Grants
With the employment of three contract teachers, three Assistant Teachers, one IT technician and
one IT supporting staff, the workload of the staff was relatively relieved:
1. Student Learning and Activities: Enhancement and remedial programmes on
Mathematics, Chinese Language, as well as Humanities subjects were organized to
strengthen students’ competence and skills in learning. Extended learning activities, such
as participation in educational trips, Secondary 2 drama lessons and Chinese classical dance
helped widen students’ scope of learning. The gifted programmes for high achievers were
materialized in the “Formation of Heart” leadership and service training.
2. Staff Development: “School wellness” was the theme for this year’s professional
development of teachers. The diversified learning needs of our students were the focus of
our school-based development programmes. With the support of professional teacher
trainers, teachers were helped to unleash their inner potentials in the brain gym workshop.
Effective communication with students and parents was another dimension addressed.
Department-based staff development programmes were organized to better equip teachers
for the pressing demands in NSS curriculum preparation.
3. School Improvement: With concerted efforts, the Multi-media Learning Centre (MMLC)
was renovated for dual purpose to serve as a Lecture Theatre for open forums, presentations
as well as connections to other schools via video conferencing. The former Geography
Store Room was converted to a PSHE Learning Centre to encourage small-group tutoring
after school.
