CSS integrates social and emotional learning into the curriculum through its Personal Growth Programme (PGP). This programme is delivered by house tutors and external NGO speakers, with age-appropriate content tailored to each year group. The PGP is designed to build five key competences across Forms 1–6, ensuring continuity and progression in student development. Students also benefit from the house tutorial system, where teachers provide long-term guidance from entry to graduation. These structures create consistent support for students’ personal and social development.
The school provides a Learning Support Programme which includes school-based educational psychology and speech therapy services, support groups, individual academic counselling, and explicit teaching or co-teaching when required. CSS is not a specialist SEN institution but does offer targeted interventions to support students with additional needs. The website does not specify the categories of SEN supported, but indicates services are delivered in collaboration with teachers and specialists.
CSS operates the Centre for Academic Language Proficiency (CALP), which provides intensive English support to students who require it. In senior forms, Academic Language Proficiency (ALP) is also offered as an elective subject in Forms 4–5 to strengthen English across different academic disciplines. These programmes are intended to help students succeed in English-medium learning across all subjects.
CSS’s Student Development & Well-being Team works alongside the house tutorial system to support students’ overall well-being. The team’s role is described as helping students develop in and beyond the classroom, though no individual counsellor roles are listed on the public site. The PGP and house tutor system further contributes to mental well-being by offering structured guidance and continuity of care. Specific mental health services beyond these frameworks are not publicly disclosed.
The CSS website includes a section on School Policies, Plans & Reports, which references safeguarding and child protection. However, the site does not make the detailed safeguarding or child protection policies publicly accessible. Therefore, while safeguarding is acknowledged, the precise procedures and measures are not available online.
Creative Secondary School (CSS) is an English-medium Direct Subsidy Scheme secondary school in Tseung Kwan O. From Forms 1–3, students learn Hong Kong’s junior curriculum through the IB Middle Years Programme framework; in senior years, they follow the HKDSE, with an option to study the IB Diploma Programme in Secondary 5–6. The school highlights arts education, with regular visual arts exhibitions, and provides structured wellbeing and leadership through house tutoring, a Student Union, and student leader roles that include community service. CSS also offers the CLACH programme to deepen Chinese language, literature, arts, culture and history, and runs CALP to support academic English. Wah Cheung operates the school bus service across many Kowloon and New Territories routes, easing daily transport for families. Campus contact details and public transport options are listed on the site.
