Ranking Estimate Band 1B
School Wind:
Holy Word utilizes a whole-school approach to counseling students. The counseling team provides a variety of activities such as the "Pioneers of the Word" program to mentor younger students. There are four types of Discipline Officers to help students develop leadership and self-discipline. The school is particularly strict on student discipline, which contributes to the simplicity of the school culture.
Learning and Teaching Strategies :
The curriculum development is based on whole-person education with more choices for students to choose the curriculum that suits their needs. Religion and Ethics is taught twice a week from S1 to S6. Form 4 students are required to choose three elective subjects, so there is a wide range of subject combinations for Form 4 students to choose from. In addition to the regular curriculum, the school organizes annual land and water sports, sports competitions, music competitions, instrumental classes, sports classes, and a wide range of socially relevant activities to enable students to develop in all areas of their education. Students are also encouraged to attend a small number of religious activities to learn more about Catholicism. Over the years, we have also provided study rooms and study skills programs to help students "learn to learn".
Teacher professional training and development:
Teachers are highly encouraged to pursue further studies; a subsidy is provided to teachers attending further studies courses.
Whole School Participation Model Integrated Education:
The school is committed to building an inclusive and caring campus and adopts a Whole School Approach to support students with SEN, providing them with appropriate and diversified support services to enhance their learning effectiveness. The Student Support Team consists of the SEN Co-ordinator, Guidance Officers, teachers with special education training and teaching assistants. Two school social workers and an educational psychologist provide professional assistance to schools and students. The psychologist will provide support to teachers in the training of students with SEN.
The school utilizes the Learning Support Grant flexibly to employ additional teaching assistants and procure professional services (e.g. speech therapy and occupational therapy). The school also provides examination adaptation for students in need. Students with severe special learning needs are provided with assessment, referral and individualized learning plans, and are supported in their learning through multi-disciplinary collaboration.
The school emphasizes home-school cooperation and works with parents to support students. The Speech Therapist also provides professional advice to parents on how to help improve students' speech at home.
Educational support for non-Chinese speaking students:
The School provides additional support to the admitted NCS students to help them learn Chinese: providing after-school Chinese learning support; employing additional teachers/teaching assistants to support NCS students' Chinese language learning; arranging intensive Chinese language teaching modes (e.g. pull-out learning on a need basis, group learning, etc.); and organizing cultural integration activities.
