🎯 Mission
Based on the Buddhist perspective of loving-kindness, compassion, sympathetic joy, equanimity, faith, understanding, practice and realization, our school motto is to construct a pleasant learning environment for all students. We endeavour to encourage their learning interests, develop their potentials, and nurture their characters. We aim to help our students have a positive attitude towards life, learning and be valued members of our local community.
📚 Approach & Strategies
Our school is a government aided and well-facilitated school. It was a skills opportunity school when it was first established in 1998 but as all skills opportunity schools started the mainstreaming process in 2003, it has gradually transformed into a 6-year aided secondary school. To date, we have all along been promoting the same school mission, specializing in students with special educational needs and developing different professional certification courses to help students explore multiple pathways. To cater for students' learning competence and special educational needs, we provide a diversified curriculum for our students. We have made reference to the central school curriculum framework and content set by the Education Bureau to tailor-make our teaching materials, arrange learning…
💛 SEN Support
Our school cultivates an inclusive culture and promotes mutual respect of individual differences. Our Student Support Committee comprises the Principal, Vice-principal, Special Educational Needs Coordinator, Special Educational Needs support teachers, designated teachers, student counsellors and learning support assistants. They work closely with the educational psychologists, speech therapists, clinical psychologists and occupational therapists to provide a holistic care for learner diversity in our school. To further support the development of learning, life and social skills of our students, we deploy the Learning Support Grant flexibly to appoint professionals and procure services for organizing various types of after-school learning and support programmes.
