Approach to Catering for Learner Diversity A Learning Support Committee is in place, implementing plans to cater for students' individual differences.

Some schemes like a Remedial and Enhancement Scheme, "Individual Education Plans" (IEP), etc. have been set up to facilitate students' whole person development.
Approach to Integrated Education The school adopts whole school participation model, sets up student support groups, and uses the Learning Support Grant to provide students with special educational needs with diversified support, such as speech therapy, literacy training groups and concentration training groups, etc. The school also arranges teachers to enroll in inclusive education courses to enhance the professional competence of teachers in the school. At the same time, the school also provides tiered coursework and examination adjustments for students in need to enhance the learning effectiveness of students with special educational needs. School-based educational psychologists also regularly evaluate students and invite parents to participate to jointly formulate individualized learning plans for students so that parents can master skills of effectively caring for and teaching their children.<br><br>In addition, the group also flexibly utilizes the Support Grant for Non-Chinese Speaking Students with Special Educational Needs to hire teaching assistants to support class enrollment, produce teaching materials, and assist in the implementation of life planning activities so that non-Chinese speaking students with special educational needs can receive appropriate support.
