Queen's College Digital Education 皇仁書院數字教育

Policy at a glance

What the AI Policy says

The full policy covers governance, procurement, and data protection. Here are the parts every student must know, aligned with the EDB Blueprint for Digital Education and its AI Literacy Learning Framework.

Seven ethical principles

Golden rules for students

Absolute rule: AI use is completely forbidden in all examinations, uniform tests and quizzes — no exceptions. Outside assessments, AI use is prohibited by default unless your teacher designates an assignment Yellow or Green.

Section 4.5 of the policy

The Traffic Light System

Teachers label every assignment with an AI permission level. Before you open any generative AI tool, check the colour. No label? It is RED by default. Tap each level to see what it allows.

Self-assessment

Are you AI-ready? The QC Challenge

Real-life scenarios, shuffled every attempt. Choose what a responsible Queen's College student would do — score 80% or above to download your certificate. Can you reach AI Prefect?

Required by policy §4.3

【AI Usage Disclosure Statement】Generator

When an assignment is Yellow or Green, you must append an AI Usage Disclosure Statement to your work. Fill in the form and copy the ready-made statement — in English or Chinese.

Extra detail (what exactly the AI contributed)

How did you verify the facts?

Statement language

Paste it at the end of your assignment, in the space your teacher designates. An honest declaration is never penalised — hiding AI use is.

Learning with AI

Change how you study — not who does the work

The policy's goal for secondary students is 'learning with AI' to build higher-order thinking. Pick a scenario below to see the old way, the smarter way, and a ready-to-use prompt.

The QC AI Study Loop

Whatever the subject, run this five-step loop. It keeps you the thinker and the AI the tutor.

Wellbeing

AI is a tool, not a friend

Chatbots simulate empathy with phrases like 'I understand how you feel' — that is an engagement tactic, not genuine care. The policy sets clear boundaries to protect your wellbeing.

For teaching staff

Teachers: setting the rules, modelling the practice

The policy encourages integrating AI into lessons to build creativity, engagement and self-directed learning — and the EDB Blueprint expects all teachers to complete foundational training in AI Literacy and AI + Subjects. These are your key duties.

For parents & guardians

Parents: a shared responsibility

The policy is clear: responsible AI use is a shared responsibility between school and home. You don't need to be an AI expert — you need to know the system, keep the conversation open, and watch for a few warning signs.

Dinner-table conversation starters

Instead of 'Did you use AI to cheat?', try questions that open the process up:

Learn with AI. Think for yourself.
