Provision and Support
Learning support to Non-Chinese speaking (NCS) children:
In recent years, Hong Kong Government is committed to encouraging and supporting the integration of NCS children into the community, such as improving NCS children’s Chinese Language capability. In view of the current trend of Hong Kong Early Childhood Education and to provide sufficient learning support to NCS families, our teachers have completed various professional trainings, in terms of facilitating NCS children’s learning in language development. We have also provided the services below to support our NCS families.
For Parents:
Our school-based social workers organize regular Parent Education Seminars and parent-child activities. These activities aim at providing an effective two-way communication channel between the family and the school, to understand the culture of the community, to exchange ideas on nurturing our next generation. In order to provide immediate and sufficient care and support to NCS families, counselling services are also available to families who in need. To ensure the current updates of the school development and activities are well delivered to all stakeholders, bilingual school documents, such as parent notices and guidelines, are now provided.
For Children:
At the beginning of the school year, we understand that children may experiences difficulty during the transition period. Therefore, we have arranged a series of activities to ensure children can adapt to their new school life smoothly, such as encouraging our parents to accompany the children in the lessons, and flexibly adjust or increase the hours of stay in school to children, to match their condition.
