A student support team (SST) is established to meet the requirements of the Education Bureau and expectation of the community.

Our SST has sourced different services with the Learning Support Grant (LSG) for Secondary Schools, such as speech therapy services, social skills training services, reading and writing skills enhancement services and attention training services, etc. The LSG is also used flexibly to hire teaching assistants to provide handy supports for our students. Apart from these, our SST would hold various internal inclusive activities and community work to cultivate an inclusive atmosphere in and out of the school. With close collaboration between the EDB officials and the school-based education psychologist, meetings and assessments of students are conducted on a regular basis. Similarly, we are working closely with the parents through the established mechanism for regular updates of students’ learning progress and their learning effectiveness. To make sure a fair ground for our students with DLN to achieve better results in public exams, we try to accommodate their DLN with special arrangement in the internal exams and apply for corresponding arrangement to the HKEAA in the public exams as well. In fact the school always encourages teaching staff to enroll in DLN related training courses and seminars. Besides, the school would share inclusive education information with us to enhance our professionalism in catering the needy students with better readiness and understanding.
