Learning Diversity
Inclusion
Our school prioritises inclusivity and celebrates the uniqueness of each child. We embrace a personalised approach to learning, ensuring that every child's individual needs are met and their full potential is realised. To support the diverse learning requirements of our children, we have a dedicated Learning Diversity Coordinator who plays a vital role in our educational community. They collaborate closely with children, teachers, and parents to design and implement tailored support strategies. The Learning Diversity Coordinator also provides expert guidance, early intervention, and coordination of services, working in partnership with associated primary schools and external agencies.
We believe in open communication and collaboration between parents and teachers. As needed, parents are warmly invited to engage in school-based discussions to contribute to developing an Individual Education Programme (IEP). This collaborative process allows us to jointly establish long- and short-term targets that can be consistently implemented at home and school.
We value the expertise of external agencies, such as Occupational Therapy or Speech and Language Therapy, and encourage parents to share any relevant reports. By keeping us informed about any health issues that may impact a child's learning, we ensure a holistic approach to their educational journey.
Screening Services and Additional Services*
Our school offers parents the opportunity to have their child assessed by professional therapy services to ensure early identification of children's learning needs and appropriate intervention. The benefits of early intervention are widely recognised, including improving the long-term outcomes for young children. Providing early support often prevents a child from requiring further and prolonged interventions at a later stage.
Screening services are offered for all children in Speech and Language, Occupational Therapy, and Hearing at the beginning of each academic year. If necessary, further screenings can be arranged throughout the year.
‘Watchdog’ Additional Support Services
In partnership with the Hong Kong Social Welfare Department (SWD) and Watchdog Early Education Centre, we have access to ‘On-site Preschool Rehabilitation Services’. These services are a welcome addition to our external therapy services and a great collaboration project between Watchdog and the school. Watchdog provides services for speech and language, occupational therapy, and physical therapy, as well as a support teacher for children who are on the waiting list for SWD-subvented pre-school services.
