Life Planning Education:
Our school has adopted the whole school approach to promote students’ self learning and self exploration. We assist students in goal setting, self management and life planning in order to facilitate their search for career paths. We aim to enhance students’ understanding of the workplace and help them explore their career options. In doing so, we have provided career aptitude tests, career experiencing workshops and invited alumni to share with students their work experience. To help students better plan their future and familiarize students with multiple career paths, our school has organized talks and seminars to give students advice on study or career choices. In addition, students have opportunities to visit local colleges and universities, join overseas study tours and attend mock interviews after the release of the DSE results. The Career Guidance Team has worked with other KLAs to integrate life planning into the curriculum so as to facilitate a paradigm shift.
