Promote whole-person development and achieve multiple directions

FDBWA Szeto Ho Secondary School Based on "education for the complete person", adhering to the spirit of teaching without distinction, we are committed to cultivating students' balanced development in the five aspects of education. Principal Chen Laiyi believes that every student has different talents, so in addition to academic aspects, the school also focuses on the all-round development of students in different areas. Through planning in terms of courses, learning experiences, positive education, etc., students can grow up healthily and happily.

Interesting language teaching, learn and use English vividly

The importance of language to students is self-evident. It is not only a key subject in the Hong Kong Diploma Examination, but also an essential skill for communication. The school attaches great importance to the biliteracy and trilingual abilities of its students. In addition to its consistent strategy of making the best students stand out, mathematics subjects will also be taught in English to increase students' opportunities to be exposed to English. Principal Chen understands that students are prone to fear of English, so he actively launches English extension activities, such as "English Week", to encourage students to embrace English and combine learning with entertainment. Students participate in English games and different types of competitions between levels to enhance their interest in English and use English in activities.

In order to stimulate students' motivation to learn English, the school launched the "Ice Cream Day" English Award Program. English teachers and math teachers will distribute "ice-cream coupons" to students based on their performance in class and homework. Collect ten of them and read a student's original English phrase correctly within the designated time, and you can exchange for a cup of ice-cream. In addition, the school will also organize English activities during different festivals to allow students to experience Western culture. For example, on Halloween, foreign English teachers will wear different costumes and communicate with classmates, making the English learning process more interesting.

Diverse learning experiences to promote personal development

Diverse learning experiences help promote students' personal development. The school allows students of different levels to be exposed to bowling, golf, yoga and other sports, allowing them to gain new learning experiences from participation. Earlier, the school even held a "Chinese Culture Week" to allow students to explore the connotation of Chinese culture. For example, they are arranged to participate in Chinese kung fu, Chinese fan and other sports. Through the activities, they learn perseverance, collaboration, communication, team spirit and sportsmanship. At the same time, they gain relaxation and happiness in the process and discover their own interests through trying. The school also invites external organizations to introduce traditional traditions to the students. The artistic juggling allowed them to understand the scientific principles of bell ringing while enjoying the performance, which opened their eyes; teachers and students also wrote Huichun together, cultivated their temperament through calligraphy, appreciated the beauty of culture, learned to appreciate beauty and excellence, and gained knowledge and spiritual enlightenment from the activities.

Interdisciplinary New Year’s Eve Activities Practical Knowledge in Real Scenarios

The school actively organizes diversified interdisciplinary activities to enable students from different elective subjects to learn from each other, such as designing New Year’s Eve activities covering economics, business management, accounting, visual arts and other fields. Students need to raise funds to set up stalls at the New Year's Eve market in Kwun Tong. The products sold are all designed by their classmates. They need to practice the knowledge learned in the class in terms of product pricing, product design, balance of payments, sales strategies, etc., and use this to find different development directions. For students who love art and are good at design, the New Year's Eve is an opportunity for them to express their creativity; for students who are interested in studying business, the New Year's Eve provides them with a window into the business world and an opportunity to experience running a business.

Overseas exchange activities to establish international perspective

Principal Chen understands the importance of establishing an international perspective for the growth of students, so the school provides students with abundant overseas exchange opportunities, allowing them to "read thousands of books" and have the opportunity to "travel thousands of miles" at the same time. For example, students can be arranged to attend classes in local middle schools in Singapore. By communicating with local students, they can learn about foreign cultures and communicate in English in a natural context. In addition, the school's moral and civic education team, together with the Chinese language team and the physical education team, led students with outstanding performance in sports to sister schools in Shanghai to compete in sports and conduct academic exchanges with local students. Through overseas exchanges, students can look at the world, establish an international perspective, and learn about the world beyond Hong Kong.

Career planning education, looking for areas of interest

Career planning is an important topic during the growth stage of students. It helps students find their own direction and goals and plan for the future. Therefore, since junior high school, the career planning team has begun to provide assistance to students and provide career aptitude tests to allow students to explore personal interests, understand their strengths and weaknesses, and think about the industry they want to work in after graduation. When students enter high school, the school will arrange for them to explore different industries and visit different companies and institutions. Professionals will explain interesting things about different professions and industries. The activities cover a variety of areas, such as leading students to learn about pet grooming, visiting homes for stray cats and dogs, and providing opportunities for students who are interested in becoming veterinarians or engaging in related professions to gain exposure to the industry.

The school will also lead students to visit government departments, such as the Marine Police Headquarters, Department of Justice, Fire Department and Customs, so that students who are interested in joining government departments can understand in advance the responsibilities and entry requirements of public servants. The school will also give students from the Tourism and Hospitality Department a "semi-internship" opportunity. During the graduation ceremony, students from the Tourism and Hospitality Department will be arranged to serve as "intern waiters" to entertain guests, allowing students who are interested in working in catering-related industries to experience it first-hand.

In addition, the school actively brings information about different tertiary institutions to students so that they can understand the paths in different subjects before choosing subjects. The school also arranges for students to attend lectures and visits to universities in different places, such as universities in Taiwan, Fudan University, etc., to understand their admission requirements, so that students can work hard according to their needs for further studies during the HKDSE, and understand in advance the methods of overseas study and the school environment to prepare for future studies.

Pay attention to moral character and soul and cultivate healthy physical and mental development

The school attaches great importance to the cultivation of students' moral character. Principal Chen believes that students with good moral character will be able to contribute to society in the future, whether they choose to enter the workplace or continue their studies. In terms of moral education, the school holds relevant activities on different moral education themes and allows students to share them in assemblies. For example, good people and good deeds are shared to deepen the moral values ​​of classmates. The school will also arrange moral education and growth courses for students to cultivate their positive values ​​and become a new generation of talents with both ability and political integrity in the future.

In addition, the school also pays great attention to the mental health of students and helps them relax through a series of activities, such as organizing aromatherapy experience workshops. At the same time, regarding the mental state of students before exams, the school will also regularly conduct questionnaire surveys to collect data to understand the pressure on students, and launch various activities to create a relaxing environment and help them release the stress caused by exams.

Support from fellow alumni and share learning experiences

In addition to the school's careful cultivation of students, the senior brothers and sisters also provide assistance for the growth of junior brothers and sisters. For example, invite alumni working in different industries to introduce the characteristics of the industry. The school also holds the "Getting to know U" event every year, arranging alumni who have studied or graduated from different tertiary institutions to share the characteristics, difficulties and university life of their courses. The mentoring program allows alumni to provide guidance to juniors. For example, seniors who have achieved excellent results in English and mathematics will share their HKDSE and reading experiences. In addition to academic support, alumni also teach some interest classes. For example, alumni who studied traditional Chinese medicine returned to their alma mater to explain some characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine to their junior students, while other alumni taught calligraphy, ink painting, and aerial camera operation.

Secondary One Transition Strategy Promote Socialization and Communication

In order to help secondary one freshmen integrate into campus life as quickly as possible and establish a sense of belonging, the school uses grade-level competitions and games to let students get to know each other. During the summer vacation, the school will arrange interesting computer classes and experiments for new students so that they will not feel unfamiliar with the school when school officially starts. The school also provides etiquette classes to guide students in correct attitudes and politeness, and organizes different activities, such as hiking and outdoor cooking, to promote socialization and communication among students. In addition, in order to cater for the different learning needs of students, the school has a resident speech therapist and arranges different treatment plans, such as music therapy, occupational therapy, and art workshops to allow students to express their emotions.
