| Approach to Catering for Learner Diversity |
One of the targets of the Academic Department is to cater for student diversity. Lesson plans and assignments are well designed to achieve the goals of teaching based on development of individual students’ abilities and potentials. |
| Approach to Integrated Education |
The Student Support Team in our school is responsible for planning, implementing and reviewing the support measures for the Integrated Education. It also formulates ‘School-based Integrated Education Policy’. Under the policy, ‘Whole School Approach’ is adopted to encourage the Special Educational Needs Coordinator, Special Educational Needs Support Teacher, counselling teacher, class teachers and subject teachers to develop support measures collaboratively for the students with SEN.<br>After obtaining consent from parents, our school would collect the information of the new S.1 students with SEN so as to identify their special educational needs earlier and then provide them with appropriate support. For those suspected students with SEN, our school would refer them to the educational psychologist for further assessment.<br>To strengthen the fairness of exams, our school has adopted internal examination accommodation and also assists the students with SEN to apply for the similar accommodation in the public exams. <br>The Student Support Team would invite parents, the educational psychologist and teachers concerned to attend meetings to follow up the supportive measures, if necessary. Besides, Summary of Support for Student are regularly distributed to their parents for handy reference.<br>Our school flexibly deploys the Learning Support Grant to hire services including speech therapy, social skill training groups, extra curriculum interest group, individual and group counselling as well as after school tutorials, and also employ a counsellor to assist the students with SEN properly. |
| Education Support for Non-Chinese Speaking (NCS) Students |

| Home-School Co-operation |
Parent Teacher Association (PTA) holds regular meetings to provide a platform for different stakeholders to exchange opinions. A parent representative is chosen to join the School Management Committee so that parents’ opinions can be expressed and considered when setting up school policies. PTA provides scholarships to award students who have made great improvement in learning attitude and conduct, and those who have had outstanding performance in non-academic fields. PTA promotes home-school co-operation by recruiting parent volunteers, training committee members, and organizing workshops and seminars with the aid of external parties. |
| School Ethos |
We enjoy a harmonious student-teacher relationship though we have a stringent school motto. At the same time, we pay special attention to students’ needs. The best examples to illustrate our full support for students with different learning needs are the “Big Brothers and Big Sisters Scheme” by the Counseling Team and the school social workers; "Basic Life Skill Training Programme" and assemblies by the Civic Education Team; and the guidance of the persistent disciplinary teachers. Besides helping students grow up healthily by means of the ‘Healthy Campus Policy’, we also put an emphasis on the building of class ethos. Class teachers are carefully chosen and the ‘Caring Culture’ is promoted throughout the school, hoping that students can grow up in a rewarding and joyful learning environment. |
