Whole School Approach to Inclusive Education:
The school believes in the education of the whole person and strives to provide a supportive and caring school environment for students. In this regard, we have adopted a whole-school approach to assist students with special educational needs. To cater for their different needs, special arrangements are made in the school policies, inclusive measures and the promotion of a caring school ethos. A dedicated committee comprising a teacher coordinator, a school psychologist, social workers, teachers and activity assistants is ready to help students with special needs and make adjustments in the school routine if necessary. Meanwhile, the school psychologist can assess and identify the needs of a student, offer advice to relevant parents and teachers and devise an individualized study plan to cope with the difficulties. By using various subsidies, we coordinate with professional bodies to offer special programs such as senior high career planning guidance services, which include individual assessment, vocational skills training, workplace experience activities and internships, etc. In addition, there are speech therapy, NSS English/ Chinese classes and volunteer training. While at school, we also offer enrichment classes in Chinese and English writing, social skills, the Reading Ambassador Program as well as a wide range of inclusive activities to enhance students’ learning efficiency and communication skills. We treasure home-school cooperation. Besides the regular meetings and communication channels, there are sharing sessions for the parties concerned to follow up the progress of the students and formulate support plans.
