Ensure diverse developments, a wide range of pathways for further study, and a solid foundation for the future; prepare for further study, career choices, and life with all-round path-finding.
Opportunities and jobs are changing rapidly. It is hard for anyone to foresee what the future holds. Unlike most schools' career planning, the school hopes to see students learning more about their own needs and become willing trailblazers. During their studies, students should first get to know themselves, explore their interests, and rekindle their confidence in learning. They could then begin to set personal goals, learn knowledge and skills, collaborate and share responsibilities in the community, and prepare themselves for the future.
The school provides the following support for students on their journey:
• School Activity Organizers
We encourage students to take initiative when it comes to facilitating, planning, and organizing school events, such as orientation days, open days, and graduation exhibitions. Students could learn about collaboration and communal life during the process.
• Mentorship
The school implements mentorship as a way to expose students to teachers and professionals from different disciplines. The various forms of interactions will help students find their ways.
• Future Lesson
Career lessons are tailored for Form 5 and Form 6 classes. Through the sharing of professionals from different industries, students will be informed about further studies or employment. This is to help them prepare for examinations and portfolios.
