We also organize learning strategy training and cooperative learning courses for students to strengthen their thinking and cooperation skills. To help students establish the habit of active learning, we launch a three-year progressive thinking and study skills training programme for all junior form students. We aim to enhance their learning effectiveness by offering them several training workshops and feedback sessions about different study skills.

The school has organised school-based enrichment classes for senior levels to stretch students' abilities further and enrich their exposure to different learning experiences. By self-nomination, senior formers are encouraged to join specific training programmes The Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education provides. To pave the way for further studies and future careers, senior form students are also highly encouraged to enrol in summer courses offered by local and overseas universities.

Through resources such as the learning support grant and NCS-SEN Grant, we provide appropriate and collective support to students with special educational needs to enhance their learning effectiveness. Our school's Student Support Team is led by the Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCO) and includes the guidance mistress, teachers, a teaching assistant, school social workers, and an educational psychologist. Based on students' individual needs, we provide appropriate support, including after-school learning support, social support, and special exam arrangements. We also develop an "Individualized Education Plan" that provides tailored learning programs for students after discussing with relevant professionals and parents. We believe that parental participation and cooperation are crucial to the success of our support program. Our support program involves parents and students, ensuring their views are heard and respected. We strive to create a collaborative environment that encourages open communication and a shared commitment to each student's success.

home_school_co_operation	At our school, we value our strong partnership with parents, recognizing the importance of their support and cooperation in achieving our educational goals. To facilitate this relationship, we offer an orientation program for parents of S1 students and provide opportunities throughout the year for class teachers to share their insights on their daughters' progress. Our teachers also make phone calls whenever necessary to keep parents informed. We actively encourage parents to participate in school functions and volunteer as helpers. Our PTA, established for many years, arranges educational and recreational events for parents and students. They also serve as an advisory body for significant school issues, providing valuable input and feedback.

school_dev_plan	Raising teaching quality and learning effectiveness and providing a comprehensive education for our students have been the two interlocking objectives of our school's development in recent years. To achieve these goals for improving learning effectiveness, we push forward the study skills and self-directed learning program, the super memory and the high flyers support program for our students. Besides that, we are launching a leadership scheme named ‘One Student One Post’ to encourage students to take on at least one post at the school level, such as Student Association Chairlady and the committee, House Captains, Prefects, Guidance Monitresses, etc.; or at the class level such as Class Monitresses, Subject Leaders, etc. Our goal is to help our student leaders develop their potential for leadership while serving others and becoming future leaders in society. On the other hand, our school is proactively promoting Values Education. Certain virtues (Conscience, Courage, Gratitude, Integrity, Humanity and Wisdom) will be permeated into our academic and non-academic activities, and meanwhile, the Core Values of Catholic Education are interweaving with the implementation of Values Education. We hope our students can consolidate and internalise the above-mentioned values, leading a positive life and exploring the greatness of life.
