The school has a simple school ethos and the students are well-mannered. The Discipline Team, the Guidance Team, the school social worker and all staff members adhere to the "Whole School Approach" to discipline and counseling, and provide the greatest possible care to the students in the school, creating a "big family" atmosphere for students to learn happily. The school has also set up the Personal Development Award Scheme to recognize students' outstanding performance in various aspects, which is in line with the concept of "Multiple Intelligences" advocated in the education reform.
Learning and Teaching Strategies :
The school offers a diversified curriculum and organizes a wide range of extra-curricular activities to develop whole-person education and expand students' potential. To encourage reading, the school organizes reading lessons and arranges students to share their reading experiences. In addition, the school provides different modes of learning activities, such as lectures, visits and field trips, to enable students to participate in life-wide learning and broaden their horizons. Teachers of all subject groups actively participate in training and further education to cope with the development of the education reform and curriculum reform. We also cultivate a culture of "peer lesson observation", where teachers improve the quality of teaching through mutual observation and self-review. All Secondary 1 to 3 students are required to receive whole school education to lay a solid foundation for their academic studies. S4 students can choose from a combination of senior secondary elective subjects. The curriculum is revised as necessary by an ad hoc committee of experienced teachers. There is a weekly reading period and a reading award scheme to encourage all students to read and share their thoughts and feelings.
Teacher professional training and development:
A working group has been set up to formulate a development and training plan for teachers, and experts are invited to speak on specific topics at the annual Teacher Development Day to enhance teachers' professional knowledge.
Whole School Participation Model Integrated Education:
The main members of the school's student support team include the Deputy Headteacher, the Guidance Officer, the SEN Student Support Officer, the Social Worker and the Educational Psychologist.
The school utilizes the Learning Support Grant to procure counseling services and emotional-social training services. The school utilizes the Learning Support Grant and other school resources flexibly to provide diversified support for students with special learning needs, including the employment of Integrated Teaching Assistants to provide appropriate support for students.
Information on support for students with special learning needs is disseminated regularly to all teachers, who make adjustments to the curriculum and monitor students' progress. Adjustments to examinations, such as extra time and special examination sessions, are made as appropriate. The school also organizes different kinds of inclusive activities to promote an inclusive culture on campus, such as the Caring Ambassadors Scheme and the Healthy and Caring Campus Culture Week, to enhance their peer communication and sense of engagement.
In addition, the school will make regular appointments to meet with parents to review students' progress and collect parents' views, so as to promote home-school communication and cooperation. The school also arranges teachers to receive special education training courses and participate in seminars, experience sharing sessions and networking activities to enhance the professional capacity of teachers in caring for students with SEN.
