Diocesan Girls' Junior School

SEL at Diocesan Girls' Junior School is integrated into a holistic, values-based education that prioritizes emotional and social development alongside academic learning. The School Vision and Mission state that the school provides a quality, all‑round liberal education and empowers students to participate as confident, responsible global citizens, with explicit emphasis on nurturing emotional well‑being. The Headmistress' Welcome describes a positive learning environment where students grow through Christian principles and Chinese cultural values. Staff contribute to SEL through coaching, guidance and counselling, and they supervise educational visits and enrichment activities that build social and communication skills. The ‘Other Learning Experiences' include character and moral development programmes, community service, and leadership opportunities designed to foster empathy, teamwork and interpersonal skills.

DGJS provides learner support through a School Counselor and a Student Support Officer who work with a Guidance Team to support student well‑being. The school also follows a Whole School Approach to Catering for Learner Diversity, including group and individual remedial teaching for students with academic learning difficulties and enhanced classes for gifted learners. A speech therapist, supported by a coordinator team, lends expertise to students with diverse learning needs, and learners with challenges are placed in smaller class settings when appropriate. These elements indicate an integrated education approach within DGJS and in collaboration with Diocesan Girls' School, rather than a dedicated SEN‑only institution.

Medium of Instruction is English at Diocesan Girls' Junior School. The publicly available CHSC profile notes English as the language of instruction for the school, and it describes a broader learner-diversity framework that includes remedial and language-support services as part of integrated education. Publicly disclosed materials do not detail a separate, stand‑alone EAL programme beyond standard English instruction and related supports. Support for language needs appears within the school's Speech Therapy and Guidance provisions as part of an integrated approach to learning diversity. Therefore, explicit EAL staffing or dedicated EAL courses are not described in the public information.

Mental wellbeing is a central focus of DGJS, reflected in its well‑being‑oriented learning environment and life education. A School Counselor and a Student Support Officer work with a Guidance Team to support students' well‑being and resilience. The school also references the 4Rs Mental Health Charter as part of its safeguarding and health initiatives. The Life Education Activity Programme and a broadly well‑balanced curriculum contribute to values education, resilience and personal development. Overall, the school describes its aim to develop healthy lifestyles, positive values and proactive attitudes among students, prioritizing student well‑being within the whole‑school approach.

Safeguarding and student health are addressed through a Whole School Health Programme and related safeguarding provisions. A School Counselor and a Student Support Officer, together with a Guidance Team, provide ongoing welfare support for students. The school references the 4Rs Mental Health Charter as part of its safeguarding framework and student welfare initiatives. Lifewide activities such as Life Education and related programmes are incorporated to promote safety, health and values education. The school operates an integrated education approach with Diocesan Girls' School, ensuring a safe, supportive environment across the DGJS–DGS pathway.
