School Wind:
The school's ethos is simple and honest, and the relationship between teachers and students is cordial. B.E.S.T. TEEN is the blueprint for the whole-person development of students, which aims to cultivate them to be caring, ethical, self-managing and self-transcending. In order to strengthen the care for students, junior high school students stay at school for lunch, and the school arranges activities for them to participate in. An "Academic Achievement Award Scheme" has been set up to encourage students to set goals and achieve good results. Courses such as "New Dynamics of Growth" and "Embarking on the Path of Youth and Cloud" are organized for students of all grades to nurture their healthy growth.
Learning and Teaching Strategies :
The school emphasizes the cultivation of good learning habits and the laying of a good language foundation. In terms of homework and assessment, the school emphasizes the training of students' thinking skills and avoids copying and rote learning. The junior secondary curriculum incorporates real-life topics and adopts an inquiry-based approach to enhance students' thinking and analytical skills. It also adopts an interactive approach to encourage students to actively participate in classroom activities. At the senior secondary level, we offer a diversified curriculum with arts, science and business subjects to provide students with more choices.
Teacher professional training and development:
The School is actively promoting comprehensive teacher professional development. The themes of the Teachers' Professional Development Day are closely related to the concerns of schools. In recent years, the themes have included "Positive Education" (speaker: Prof. Chiu Chi-yu), "Good Communication" (organization: JUST FEEL), and "Meditation" (speaker: Prof. Lam Shui-fong). Teachers received a series of trainings related to Positive Education to promote the school to become a positive school.
In addition, teachers have been trained in Responsive Classroom Management and the "Seven Habits of Highly Effective People" to help students move from dependence to independence to interdependence for effective management and positive community building.
Teachers increase professional exchanges and enhance their professional energy through joint lesson preparation, peer lesson observation and the establishment of different learning communities. Since 2018, the school has also invited Prof. Chiu Chi-shing to be a teaching advisor to help teachers improve in catering for the diversity of student learning and to develop teaching leadership.
Whole School Participation Model Integrated Education:
The main service targets of the Student Support Teams are students with special learning needs and their parents. Through a three-tier support model, the Teams help them to resolve their difficulties and cater for their individual differences, so as to enable students to have a richer and more positive school life and to promote an inclusive school culture.
The Student Support Team, led by the Special Educational Needs Coordinator, is responsible for planning, implementing and reviewing the support for students with SEN. It consists of officers from different growth areas, including guidance, teaching, career planning and discipline, as well as subject panel chairpersons, educational psychologists, school-based speech therapists and social workers. Support measures include casework counseling, group training, assessment and adjustment, and individual learning plan. Case Counseling is where social workers and psychologists make timely appointments to meet with students to understand their situation and needs, and to help them solve their problems; individual and group speech therapy services are provided to support and enhance students' language skills; group training includes social training, study and revision groups, etc. Through diversified group training, students' social skills are enhanced and their academic performance and learning attitudes are improved; and assessment and accommodation refers to the provision of and support for students in need. Adaptation refers to the provision and updating of assessments for students in need. In addition, the team invites parents of students with individual learning plans to meet to discuss and review their individual action plans to enhance support for their students.
We will contact parents on a regular basis to listen to their views and understand the situation of the students, and to discuss more suitable options for them.
Educational support for non-Chinese speaking students:
The school provides additional support to the admitted NCS students to help them learn Chinese: cultural integration activities are organized. A pull-out curriculum is provided for NCS students, with appropriate teaching materials tailor-made for different stages of Chinese language proficiency, including training in listening, speaking, reading and writing skills, so as to create an environment for students to read, write, listen and speak more, so as to lay a foundation in Chinese language and adapt to the local culture, and to sit for appropriate public examinations according to their needs in order to obtain the relevant qualifications.
