Students learn Citizenship and Social Development in English, which further enhances their English writing and communication skills.
Citizenship and Social Development emphasises helping senior secondary students understand the situations of Hong Kong, the country and the contemporary world, as well as their pluralistic and interdependent nature. Through the learning process, students can connect the knowledge learnt in various subjects at the junior and senior secondary levels, and understand, study and explore different topics from multiple perspectives, so as to construct more knowledge relevant to various themes and build up a more solid knowledge base. Furthermore, students can understand the complexities, major considerations and priorities involved in the topics, decision-making process and different solutions to problems, in order to help students:  

• understand contemporary issues and acquire a broad knowledge base;
• become informed and responsible citizens with a sense of national identity and global perspective;
• understand, appreciate and inherit Chinese culture and treat other cultures with respect, receptiveness and appreciation;
• respect pluralism of cultures and views, and become critical, rational, reflective and independent thinkers; and
• acquire skills necessary to life-long learning, and be confident in facing future challenges.
