• Students with behavioral problems are uncommon in our school. Yet, in light of the motto ‘prevention is better than cure’, our teachers work very closely with social workers to provide appropriate support and guidance to the students in need. By doing so, students can not only get a better understanding of themselves, but also build good relationships with teachers, classmates, and their family members. All in all, it is our desire to help students keep a positive attitude in life.
  

Merit and Regulation

Our school upholds the principle of ‘positive education’, which aims to encourage positive student behavior in school. With that being said, it is also our mission to help students reflect on their misbehavior without bias, and to help them rectify their mistakes.

• Honoring with merits:  Students who have achieved notable achievements and have performed good deeds will be honored with merits. Their names will also be announced during the morning assembly.
• Giving punishment:  We incorporate support from social workers into student disciplinary record. For students who prove guilt with severe behavioral problems, our school will first inform their parents before holding a meeting with the principal and the discipline team to investigate whether the punishment imposed is appropriate or not.  Meanwhile, we will call a meeting to acquaint student parents with the incident and to give students chance to represent themselves.

Every year, thirty students who excel in academics and have exceptional achievements will be elected as a member of the school prefect team. Our prefect team is well-organized with regular training and review to demonstrate satisfying performance with their duty.
