The class teacher builds positive relationships with students in the classroom and creates a friendly atmosphere with the disciplinary principles of "being strict but loving, harmonious and orderly, and treating others with sincerity". In recent years, we have participated in the Project We Can program, which brings in resources from outside the school to provide students with different kinds of growth support and counseling activities.
This program effectively develops students' ability to solve problems and cope with emergencies, as well as their ability to communicate and lead.
The school also upholds a caring culture and continues to launch various growth guidance activities, such as "TEEN Love", "Encouragement Meeting", "Campus Angel", "Volunteer Award for Tomorrow's Leaders", "S1-S2 Level", "One Person, One Job", "S4 Volunteer Service" and "Fly with You" (an orientation program for newly-arrived children), etc., to promote the whole-person development of students.
