(2) Learning and Teaching Strategies	:	All of our academic activities are planned according to the five principles: 1. Practice-based: Creating opportunities to put knowledge into practice and creating profound learning experiences. 2. Student-centredness: To examine academic difficulties from the students' perspective and to plan quality learning. 3.

Quality resources: No expense has been spared; universities and professional bodies have been brought together to bring innovation into the curriculum. 5.

Knowledge is broadened and deepened appropriately. The Education Bureau has produced a programme for the Science Week in our schools and publicly promoted the experience gained from the Science Week. 2. Our underwater robotic archaeology project, which integrates the knowledge of six HKDSE subjects, has been invited by the Maritime Museum for sharing. In the new academic year, we have purchased professional grade robotic dogs to further deepen the topics of different subjects. 3.

(2) Whole School Approach to Integrated Education	:	1. Integrating the mainstream and adjusting strategies: Providing appropriate, low-profile and all-round support for students with special learning needs, and making transitional preparations for students' successful integration into the mainstream. 2. Adhering to the concept of multiple intelligences: The whole-school approach was established years ago to promote inclusive education.

Adaptation depends on learning topics and students' needs. Common measures include adjusting the amount of homework, changing the form of answering/asking questions, providing additional guidance/ tools, adjusting methods of marking, etc. 3.

The participants included students with special learning needs.
