The team also meets regularly with other teachers, EDB officers, Education Psychologists, social workers, and other professionals to conduct meetings and arrange assessments for students. Parents will also be invited to join in to work out the tailor-made learning plans. Through supervision, parents can master techniques to assist their children. |

| Home-School Co-operation |
The Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) works collaboratively with the school by holding meetings, activities, sending newsletters regularly, and participating actively in school events. PTA also works with the school chaplains to organize workshops where parents can learn to better communicate with the teens. With the joint effort among the families, church and school, students’ growth can be improved. |
