Career Guidance
In face of the unprecedented pace of changes worldwide with the advent of information technology and explosive growth of knowledge, our education system aims to develop students’ knowledge, adaptability, creativity, independent thinking and life-long learning capabilities so that they can be better prepared to make informed and responsible choices and thus be able to make the best of the opportunities ahead.
Towards this end, more opportunities under the new senior secondary curriculum implemented since September 2015 and multiple pathways have been opened for young people to flourish their knowledge. Our school curriculum, embedding elements of life-long learning and generic skills into all subjects, at the same time aims at whole-person development for every student, fostering their self-understanding and offering other learning experiences to support students’ progression for further studies and career development, as well as actualization of personal goals.
