Mental Health OLE Lessons
According to the daily observation and discussion with the students, it is found that most of the students would easily get stressed in their academic performance, peer conflict and family relationship issues. In order to strengthen their resistance in coping with the daily challenges, school social workers would organize Mental Health Programs for all forms in the coming academic year during the OLE Assembly. Depending on the needs of each form, the topics of Mental Health Programs could include Emotion Regulation, Understanding about Mental Health issues (e.g. Depression, Anxiety) and Stress Management.
Overall, the students could have a basic understanding of the mental health issues. Through all the workshops in mental health education, the students would also understand the importance of seeking advice once they are aware of their emotion or mental issues. The workers also emphasized the community resource and social worker support in coping with mental health. After these assembly, it is obvious that more students would like to come to social worker offices to seek for advices.

Promoting Mental Wellbeing
The Guidance Team organized a Mental Health Myth Buster Quiz to educate students about myths and facts of mental health. Students completed a Google form regarding mental health myths and answered a few questions about their mental well-being. Following this, a video was shown to debunk these myths. It was discovered that many students had misconceptions about mental health, and additionally, many students were experiencing increased stress and anxiety due to upcoming exams. To cheer them up, the Guidance Team prepared and distributed some gifts on June 7th before the final exam.
