This enables all school teaching staff, students and parents to understand and care for the students with special education needs (SEN) in order to build a caring and inclusive school culture. To provide support for students with SEN, our school has obtained a Learning Support Grant from the Education Bureau (EDB) and has established a student support team. The core members of the student support team include the Special Education Needs Coordinator, the Perfect of Studies, the Guidance Master and the Language teachers. This student support team has been set up to effectively allocate and utilize manpower and resources, meanwhile, collaborating and interacting with different stake holders such as parents, teachers, social workers and educational professionals etc. In addition, the school has employed a student counsellor to specifically take care of SEN students.

Diversified and inclusive activities are also organized to meet the needs of the SEN students.

Our school has developed a mechanism for soliciting parents views and holding discussions on students’ progress. We are also in line with the teacher professional development plan of the EDB by actively encouraging and assigning teachers to attend courses related to integrated education in order to provide support for students with SEN. |
