Approach to Catering for Learner Diversity We have a Life Education Committee to help students deal with their emotional, communication and family problems when they grow up. A tailored syllabus and different teaching strategies are provided for diverse learning needs. We help students to find their motivation to learn, to build up their self-image, and to be positive about life. We make full use of all available resources to provide an all-round education and indicate ways to learn so that students are able to maintain life-wide learning.
Approach to Integrated Education Our school aims to create and promote an inclusive and caring environment for students to learn and grow. Student Support Committee (members include SENCO and SEN teachers) is led by the school vice-principal in planning, coordinating and promoting the whole school approach and formulating school-based policy on inclusive education. In addition, through collaborating with educational psychologist, it enhances the professional support to cater students with SEN. Our school utilizes the Learning Support Grant flexibly to provide effective support (e.g., speech therapy) and organize different inclusive activities to promote caring culture in school. Moreover, our committee members contact parents regularly and provides annual student support summary to parents with an aim to suitably support students with SEN through home school co-operation.
Education Support for Non-Chinese Speaking (NCS) Students
Home-School Co-operation The Parents-Teachers' Association, formed in 1993, plays a crucial role in acting as a liaison between parents and the school. To support moral and life education, many parents volunteer to give assistance to the junior forms' service education.
School Ethos We strive for a simple school life with harmonious relationships between teachers and students. Students are provided with a religious education and activities to learn about Christianity and its values. Taking teachers as their models, students learn how to respect, reflect upon and appreciate their lives. This positive attitude towards life helps create a harmonious school and community.
