Language is more than a tool at Pui Tak Canossian College—it is a bridge to understanding, creativity, and global connection. We nurture confident and compassionate communicators who express themselves fluently in English, Chinese, and Putonghua, complemented by targeted programs in the latter two languages. Above all, fostering an English-rich environment remains our top priority, as strong language proficiency equips our students for academic success and opens pathways to further education both locally and abroad.

We are committed to creating a motivating and immersive language-learning environment that helps students develop strong communication skills and cultural awareness. English serves as the medium of instruction for core subjects and is supported by extended English learning activities in other disciplines. Our English curriculum explores a wide range of topics while emphasising the use of e-learning tools to gauge participation and interaction in class.

To foster confident use of English in daily life, an English Day is held every week, starting with engaging assemblies and followed by a range of co-curricular activities. Complementing this, daily interactive English activities take place in our well-equipped English Corner, featuring levelled programs ranging from choral speaking and drama classes to video dubbing. These efforts are supported by our three Native English Teachers (NETs), who bring diverse festivities and cultural insights into the classroom.

Students also participate in E-Learning programmes, the Reading Scheme, and a comprehensive AI learning tool that enhances language proficiency through personalised and adaptive practice. To cater to learners' diversity, a range of after-school programmes—including enrichment and enhancement classes in collaboration with renowned service providers—further strengthen students’ fluency and love for the language.

Building on these foundations, at the Junior Secondary Level, English as the Medium of Instruction (EMI) is implemented progressively to enhance students’ language proficiency and academic readiness. In S1, EMI is adopted in Mathematics; in S2, it extends to Mathematics and Science; and by S3, Geography is also conducted in English alongside these two core subjects. The implementation varies across classes to cater for students’ diverse abilities, ensuring that every learner has the opportunity to study through English at an appropriate pace. To further strengthen exposure across all junior classes, extended English learning activities are integrated into various subjects, including Mathematics, Science, Citizenship, Economics and Society, Ethics & Religious Education, Computer Literacy, STEAM Education, and World History. This gradual expansion of EMI enables a smoother and more balanced learning progression. Our curriculum is thoughtfully designed with a clear educational philosophy, nurturing students’ linguistic confidence, subject mastery, and readiness for further studies.

In view of the continuous improvement in students’ English proficiency, Science subjects at the senior secondary level—including Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Information and Communication Technology, and Mathematics Extended Part 1—have been taught in English since 2021. To further bridge the gap between secondary and university education, English as the Medium of Instruction (EMI) is also adopted in Mathematics, Geography, and Economics classes, empowering graduates to thrive in a globally connected world.
