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. We also offer mental health talks and activities to all students that help them build up healthier minds and provide them the ways to help the others. In order to equip our teachers to cater for learners’ diversity, our school arranges professional BAT training courses to our teachers and our school has attained most of the requirement. In the meanwhile, understanding and catering for learners’ diversity workshops are offered regularly in teacher development days.

They teach phonics to primary and secondary students using Orton Gillingham approach in both their centre and different schools under supervision by an Educational Psychologist. OG phonics is a multisensory way of English learning using visual, auditory, and kinesthetic techniques. Students learn to identify different English syllables, blend the syllables and isolate them systematically. Gradually they make improvements to phonological awareness and thereby their ability to read aloud and spell English words.

Individual Tutorial

Our alumni tutors who studied in Universities, the big brothers and sisters could be their role model and even used their mother-tongues to teach them in certain extents.

E-sport Workshop

Hado is an e-sport that is practiced with an augmented reality headset and a connected bracelet. Players shoot energy balls as in “Dragon Ball Z” to attack their opponents and activate virtual shields to defend themselves.

It is also possible to generate a shield to protect yourself, so teamwork is essential. A play area of 6*10 metres is necessary, it can be practised almost anywhere: garden, company, camping, school…

To play, each player has an augmented reality headset designed specifically for HADO. It is open on the sides, so players do not have the feeling of being locked up as with virtual reality headsets.

A connected bracelet allows you to track the movements of your hand in order to perform various actions: throwing an energy ball, recharging and creating a shield. Players can choose skill points at the beginning of the game via the bracelet: speed and power of the energy balls, recharging time and power of the shield.

Embossing art

Embossing, art of producing raised patterns on the surface of metal, leather, textiles, paper, and other similar substances.

This time, students have  a chance to emboss their own glasses. 
 
                                   

Tie dye making

Tie-dyeing, method of dyeing by hand in which coloured patterns are produced in the fabric by gathering together many small portions of material and tying them tightly with string before immersing the cloth in the dyebath. It is important to select natural fabrics to tie dye, as synthetics generally do not readily accept dye. Cotton is an excellent choice, making tie dyed T-shirts a favorite. Students make a small pouch and a tote bag this time. Do you like our designs?
