Secondary School Support Service

Service Concept

Aiming at whole-person development and life-long learning, our service encourages pupils to nurture themselves in the five essential Chinese virtues: Ethics, Intellect, Physique, Social Skills and Aesthetics. Through continuous learning, pupils can reflect, explore, create and change in the course of their growing up.

Program Aims

1. Focusing on the needs of the pupils, we aim at instilling a sense of self-understanding in order that pupils can develop their full potential.
2. Promoting pupils’ individuality, we believe that each pupil differs in their rate of physical, mental, emotional, and social growth. Developmental services are designed and provided that are consistent with personal development and potential. In hoping that every pupil achieves at high levels, engagement will be made in partnerships with parents, schools and other service agencies.
