It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
YMCA of Hong Kong Christian College integrates social and emotional learning through its Positive Education framework, based on the PERMA model (Positive Emotion, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, and Accomplishment). The school runs structured class-teacher sessions such as Collaborate Monday, D.E.A.R. Wednesday, Shared-shelf Thursday, and Fun Friday, which build positive relationships and promote emotional literacy. A dedicated Student Wellbeing Centre provides a welcoming space for students to explore their emotions and connect with peers. The Student Wellbeing Team and Student Support Team collaborate to monitor student welfare and ensure appropriate academic and emotional support.
The school offers a range of provisions for students with additional learning needs, but it is not a specialist SEN institution. Support is coordinated by a Head of SEN and a team of SEN teachers and assistants, providing both in-class and targeted small-group support. The SEN framework is integrated within the pastoral system and works alongside teaching staff to address individual needs. While the school does not publicly specify which types of learning differences it supports, it emphasises inclusive education and early identification of learning challenges.
The school does not publicly disclose detailed information regarding EAL support programmes. While an EAL Coordinator is referenced in school materials, specific details on programme structure, intensity, or eligibility are not made available on the public website.
Mental well-being is supported through the Student Wellbeing Centre and initiatives such as the MindHK iACT Counselling Programme, which promote mental health awareness and access to support. The school also incorporates mindfulness activities, reflective retreats, and stress-management sessions into its student life calendar. The Student Support Team and class teachers monitor students’ emotional well-being, offering guidance and referrals where needed.
The school highlights the importance of creating a safe and nurturing environment and has a Student Wellbeing and Support Team dedicated to pastoral care. However, it does not publicly publish a standalone safeguarding or child protection policy on its website. Families may contact the school directly for detailed safeguarding procedures and policies.
YMCA of Hong Kong Christian College (YHKCC) is a co-educational secondary day school in Tung Chung for students aged 11–18. The school offers two pathways: the Hong Kong curriculum leading to HKDSE and an international route with IGCSE and UK GCE A-Levels; English is the medium of instruction for all subjects except second languages, and all students study Chinese through a school-based programme. Facilities and activities support a wide extracurricular offering, with 50+ ECA programmes and distinctive options in sports such as cheerleading, cricket, lacrosse, hockey and rugby. Signature whole-school events include the International Fun Fair, Life-wide Learning Camps and Service Outreach Week. Pastoral care is supported by SEN teachers, an Educational Psychologist, an EAL Coordinator, social workers and a dedicated Wellbeing Centre, and the school notes small class sizes with a low teacher–student ratio.
