Previously, under the old education structure, classes from Form 4 onwards were traditionally three-stream classes, i.e. arts, business or science. Form 4 and 5 students would prepare for the Hong Kong Certificate of Education Examination (HKCEE) and all students must take English, Chinese, Mathematics and Religious Studies as their core subjects. History, Chinese History, Geography, Economics, Principles of Accounts, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Additional Mathematics and CIT (Computer & Information Technology) were offered according to the streaming. Matriculation classes (Lower and Upper Six) were three-stream classes (arts, mathematics or biology). Use of English, Chinese Language and Culture, Chinese Literature, Economics, History, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Pure mathematics, applied mathematics, Mathematics & Statistics and Computer Application were also offered. Students would take Hong Kong Advanced Level Examination (HKALE or A-level) at the end of matriculation. The last batch of students under this educational structure graduated from the college in 2012.
