Life Planning Education:
Helping students: (1) equip themselves with necessary knowledge, skills and attitudes for career development; (2) wisely choose the career paths of study and work in accordance with their own interests, traits, abilities and aspirations; (3) integrate academic pursuit and life-long learning with whole-person development. The aims and strategies are as follows:
• S.1-S.6: Knowing the World of Careers - With Career Guidance Newsletters published quarterly by the school Career Ambassadors, sharing by teachers and alumni in morning assemblies, and visits to outside organizations, students can understand more about the nature, prospects and qualification requirements of various occupations.
• S.2: University Campus Tours - All students have a chance of group visit to campuses of the local universities and to meet the alumni studying there. This activity helps students boost the determination to study in university in future.
• S.3: Self-understanding – choosing elective subjects for senior secondary - With form-teacher periods, career groups and parents’ nights held in the year, students can understand more about the characteristics of different subjects and university entrance requirements.
