Our school has set up a Student Support Team to cater for learner’s diversity and promote mutual respect of individuals’ differences among students and cultivate an inclusive school culture. The team conducts early identification and early intervention for students with special needs and encourages teachers to adopt different teaching approaches to meet the diverse student needs in regular classrooms. In addition, we adopt various accommodation measures to facilitate the student development such as personal coaching and tutorials, various training courses e.g. phonic, social and communication skills, executive functioning, study skills etc., on-site speech therapy, on-site consultation of educational psychologist and clinical psychologist, social adaptation activities, special examination and homework arrangement, and special promotion criteria and even individual educational plan if necessary. For the facilities, we have MAC computer to provide speech-to-text and text-to-speech services to assist students with specific learning difficulties.

The Student Support Team recently organized a two-day camp at Anchor House, Ma Wan, where 30 students participated in various team-building activities, on 27th-28th September, 2024. Through challenges like orienteering, climbing, and problem-solving games, students learned to collaborate, communicate, and support one another. The camp also helped students develop independence, as they spent a night away from home. Reflection sessions encouraged emotional growth and resilience. Overall, the camp was a fun and enriching experience that promoted personal and social development.
In the flower decoration workshop, students immersed themselves in creating unique designs on miniature glass bottles and dishes. The process of selecting and arranging flowers cultivated a sense of tranquillity and mindfulness. This creative activity not only improved their artistic abilities but also provided a therapeutic outlet to relieve stress and express individuality.
Students participated in a leather workshop where they designed and crafted mini leather bags with tiger patterns. This hands-on experience involved practicing precision in crafting, and enjoying the satisfaction of creating a usable item. The workshop also promoted mental relaxation for students.
In the neon lighting workshop, students explored their creativity by making neon light decorations in various shapes and colours. Not only did they explore the artistic side of neon lights, but also gained a brief understanding of the science behind them. This activity was both stimulating and relaxing.
