Moral and civic education

• Objectives– Care for HK– Developing a sense of belonging to China– Awareness of their citizenship

• Introduction of a progressive “service learning” since 2000

• “We care for the school; We care for the community” as the major concern from 2004-2006

• Care for the community through– S.2 community service experience program– VQ program (STAGE I to III)

Student Leadership

taking up leading roles in school teams, Houses, clubs, Scout, SU and Prefect Team

The Way Forward

Areas of concern

• Professional development and organizational learning

• Identification of school-level strengths and weaknesses and restructuring of programs/activities to be offered

• Deriving a functional and effective mechanism of record-building for SLP

• Individualization of OLE and SLP

Career-related experience and Individual Student Planning

• Career-related experiences as (1) platform for personal growth and career maturity; (2) a wrap-up support for OLE

• Conceptualization of ISP (from ISP to SLP):– Student-centered– Reflective generalization of learning processes

and outcomes– Progressive development of career maturity– Pivotal role of career counselor and guidance
