student_support_urlhttps://www.stlouis.edu.hk/en/preventive-system
whole_school_approach_cater_for_learner_diversityWe adopt the following teaching strategies and learning approaches to cater for students' diverse learning needs: streaming; split classes; co-teaching/co-planning; consolidation courses for high achievers/Remedial courses for underachievers; various teaching/learning/assessment modes (IT/Project-based Learning/group discussion/portfolio); after-school study group; introducing students to various learning/reading skills; Peer Mentor Scheme.
whole_school_approach_integrated_educationThe school is committed to building a culture of inclusiveness and supporting students with special educational needs via a "whole school" model. With the Learning Support Grant, we can employ teaching assistants, and work with different professional teams to provide a wide range of support services for students with special learning needs. The "Student Support Team" includes SENCO, Vice-Principal, counselling teachers, social workers, educational psychologist, class teachers and subject teachers. In addition to the homework and test adjustment arrangements, the school also flexibly uses the government subsidies to acquire professional services to help the students with special needs. For example, we invite clinical psychologists to provide psychotherapy services for students with emotional distress and behavioral problems; arrange "occupational therapy" services to provide individual training for students with impaired writing skills; to provide "concentration" and "Executive Skills" training, which teach students self-management skills; organize a "life-planning" course to explore the career paths for students; and hold parent talks and workshops to let parents know more about their children's unique growth needs; participate in the Jockey Club Autism Support Network to provide social group training for autistic students. There are also various development courses and activities, such as drama therapy training, board-game training, and animal-assisted therapy. We also regularly review school-based measures to ensure our effectiveness.
support_for_non_chinese_studentsOur school provides additional support for NCS students to facilitate their learning of Chinese: arranging intensive Chinese learning and teaching mode(s), e.g. pull-out learning if necessary, split-class/group learning, etc.; and organising activities to create an inclusive learning environment in the school. Implement school-based 'Chinese As a Second Language' curriculum. Assist NCS students to sit for either HKDSE or IGCSE in Chinese Language. NCS students can also apply for HKDSE Applied Learning Chinese.
adaptation_for_learning_and_assessment1. Two examinations and one mid-term test.
2. Apart from Academic Report Card, each student is issued a "student activity report", which allows the recognition of his non-academic achievements.
3. Continuous assessment is implemented.
home_school_co_operation_urlhttps://eclass.stlouis.edu.hk/~pta/index.html
home_school_co_operationDuring the past 32 years, SLS PTA has given every assistance to the continuous development of St. Louis School, and the PTA will endeavour to maintain good and close relations with the School to enhance her spirit of "Freedom and Self-Discipline".
school_ethos1. We, considering that the school should be a second home to students, always keep the premises open so as to provide them with a joyful and comfortable learning environment.
2. We do not impose undue regulations on students as we count on their self-discipline and initiative.
3. We seek to foster a harmonious relationship between teachers and students. With love, our teachers inspire students; with gratitude, our students respond to teachers.
4. We emphasize freedom and autonomy, under which students develop an interest to learn and a lifelong learning attitude. Such a conducive environment unleashes the potentials of students, boosting their motivation to organize activities independently.
5. We encompass religious activities in education to enrich students' spiritual temperament. We impress upon students the importance of cultivating a noble character through guidance and counselling. We promote various activities and competitions to help students nurture a strong physical make up, a passion for life, a sense of responsibility and caring for people and the world.
