The school’s Family Support Team plays a key role in promoting student wellbeing. It consists of social workers and Home–School Liaison Officers who provide counselling, workshops, and group activities to help students build resilience and peer connections. The team also offers interpretation services for families who may not speak Chinese, ensuring inclusive communication. Collaboration with external professionals, such as psychologists and speech therapists, helps extend support when needed. These measures provide students with structured opportunities to develop social and emotional skills in and beyond the classroom.
The school has a published Inclusion/SEN policy outlining how students with special educational needs are identified and supported. Referrals can be made by teachers, parents, or students themselves, followed by evaluation by the school’s educational psychologist. Individual Education Plans (IEPs) are developed, and accommodations such as assessment adjustments are provided in line with Hong Kong EDB, HKEAA, and IB guidelines. Categories of SEN supported include those recognised by the Education Bureau (e.g., dyslexia, ADHD, autism spectrum disorders). The school is not a specialist SEN institution but provides support through structured policies and collaboration with external experts.
The school does not publish details of a dedicated EAL programme. However, it provides Chinese as a Second Language (school-based) for non-Chinese-speaking students and states a commitment to language development in its IB Language Policy. The Family Support Team also provides translation and interpretation services for non-Chinese-speaking families. Beyond this, the school does not publicly disclose information regarding a specific EAL framework or staffing.
Counselling services are available through the Family Support Team, which offers both one-to-one and group sessions for students in need. The team works closely with families to monitor well-being and provides workshops on stress management and adjustment. The school also collaborates with clinical psychologists and speech therapists to provide external professional input where required. Mental well-being is therefore addressed through both in-school resources and external specialist partnerships.
The school does not publish a standalone safeguarding or child protection policy on its public website. Relevant elements appear within the Discipline & Guidance and Family Support pages, which describe rules, counselling, and collaboration with parents. These sections indicate that the school expects staff and families to play a role in monitoring behaviour and supporting students. However, detailed safeguarding frameworks or named safeguarding leads are not publicly disclosed.
