We put emphasis on both summative and formative assessments. By making a good use of purposeful tasks and activities, students are expected to gain insights concerning their strengths and weaknesses. Both classwork and homework are given for the purpose of reinforcing, facilitating and encouraging independent learning. Teachers provide timely feedback for students to measure their achievements, inform students of their performance and encourage further progress.
