Self-compassion
In hope to boost students’ resilience when facing adversities and to spread the message of embracing difficulties, our department emphasises on the promotion of ‘self-compassion’. Through organising various activities, from class-teacher periods, guest-talks and various cheering-up activities, we aim to equip students with the optimistic attitude to confront hardships in life. It is hoped that students would take an active role in safeguarding their own mental well-being.
The Flock Supporting Scheme
Geese fly in flocks with a leader heading in the front in order to lead every goose to their destinations safely. Taking the connotation of leader helping their teams, S3 to S5 students are recruited to take care of the new S1 students. These senior form students will take up the role as leaders. They will be assigned with a certain number of S1 students and participate in a range of training together. These include camping, voluntary work and group activities. On one hand, our novice S1 members can expand their social circle across the whole school. In addition, it is hoped that they can establish stronger self-confidence, problem-solving skills and emotional management by being involved in various adventure activities.
To better support the newcomers, these S3 to S5 leaders tend to receive training during August and September. The training sessions are designed particularly for sharpening their leadership skills and consolidating their self-confidence. Soon after training, they will apply the acquired theories and skills into practice. Starting from October, leaders adopt the chief organiser role in conducting all sorts of opening ceremonies, S1 adventure camps and reunion activities.
In short, with the frequent interaction between newcomers and senior form students, an extensive support network has been woven across the school, strengthening mutual care among students regardless of their ages.
Peer Counsellors
Collaborated with Methodist Epworth Village Community Centre, peer counsellors are trained to strengthen their knowledge of mental health-being. This is not only for self-monitoring purposes, but also to encourage peer counsellors to actualise what they have learnt and contribute to the promotion of psychological health at school. It is believed that peer influence is a way of building a loving atmosphere on the campus.
Sex Education
In view of the distorted sexual values in modern society, the school bears an important responsibility to protect our students against incorrect messages inflicted by the media. Therefore, our department is keen to organise a wide diversity of activities for sex education so as to help students shape their correct morals and beliefs on sex.
