The Discipline Team, the Guidance Team, the Other Learning Experiences Team and the Religious Team work together to implement a number of guidance and moral education programs. Senior students take care of their younger siblings through the "Big Sisters and S1 Counseling Program", the "Math Leadership Program", and the "Peer Counselors", etc. Specific service themes, such as visits to elderly centers and the "Caritas Bazaar", are also arranged for each grade. Under the traditional culture of care and mutual assistance, students will become young people with good conduct and a spirit of community service.
Learning and Teaching Strategies :
The school's curriculum policy is based on the guidelines of the Education Bureau and the spirit of the curriculum reform, and at the same time meets the interests of students and the requirements of the society. The diversified curriculum and extra-curricular activities actively develop students' multiple intelligences and enhance their self-learning ability. Teachers make appropriate arrangements for teaching activities inside and outside the curriculum to develop students' generic skills in a balanced manner, to enhance their interest in learning, and to cultivate their self-directed learning attitudes. Students learn through discussion, mutual evaluation and self-evaluation. Through the interaction between learning and teaching, students not only grow in knowledge, but also become intellectually, morally and spiritually prepared to face the challenges of society and life, and to respond to the needs of humanity.
Teacher professional training and development:
The school conducts annual teacher training in response to the needs of educational development, aiming to enhance the professional knowledge and quality of teachers. In addition, teachers often participate in educational seminars and workshops on their own initiative to keep abreast of the latest pedagogies, curriculum development and educational trends.
Whole School Participation Model Integrated Education:
The school adopts a "Whole School Approach" to support students with SEN. The school has set up a Student Support Team comprising the Deputy Principal, School-based Speech Therapist, Educational Psychologist, Guidance Counselor, Special Education Coordinator, Guidance Teacher, Student Counselor and Resident Social Worker. The Team meets regularly to devise appropriate support plans for students with SEN. The support team and the class teachers will exchange information on the learning situation of the students concerned and discuss support measures, such as the provision of learning or test accommodations, as appropriate.
The school also participates in the "Medical, Education and Social Collaboration Programme" jointly organized by the EDB and relevant bureaux and departments to enhance the mental health of students through cross-sectoral collaboration. In addition, the school encourages staff to participate in the EDB's training on "Catering for Different Learning Needs" and organizes thematic seminars for teachers in order to enhance their professional knowledge. The school also flexibly utilizes the Learning Support Grant to hire additional manpower and procure professional services in conjunction with other resources to support students with special educational needs (SEN).
Educational support for non-Chinese speaking students:
Additional support is provided to the admitted NCS students to help them learn the Chinese language by arranging intensive Chinese teaching modes (e.g. pull-out learning, small group learning, etc.) and organizing cultural integration activities. The Chinese Language Section aims at integrating NCS students into mainstream Chinese language classes as early as possible through gradual and orderly learning. Reading and writing are the main focuses of this subject, and students are divided into equal classes to learn together with Chinese-speaking students.
School facilities:
Each classroom is equipped with computers, projectors and overhead projectors. The playground has a 14-meter high climbing wall. In addition, the new wing of the school building is equipped with a student activity center and a campus television station. In order to increase the number of multi-purpose student activity areas, the rainy day playground was added as an activity learning room in 2012. The cafeteria was converted into a dual-use cafeteria and activity room in 2014, and the computer room was renovated into a multimedia e-learning center in 2016 to provide more space for a variety of activities. The school's library was also renovated in 2015 to provide a more comfortable and quieter environment for students to read and study.
With the support of the Quality Education Fund, the Multimedia Learning Center will be renovated into a STEM Laboratory to enhance students' interest in and knowledge of science and technology learning; and a Mindfulness Library and Mindfulness Corridor will be added to provide students with a green space and a quiet area to take care of their physical and mental well-being.
