Social Service
To help students’ whole person development, our school attaches great importance to “social service”. Its role is to complement classroom knowledge and provide students with a variety of “learning” and “experience” opportunities. “Social Service” can help students understand diverse values through unique experiences and can also expand students’ horizons. It is of great educational value and practicality. When our school plans “social services”, we will develop their potential and help them grow from “learning” and “experience”. Our school provides opportunities for students to participate in social development on different platforms, such as: CYC, Volunteer Service Group, Girl Guides, Red Cross Youth Unit, Elder Academy, etc., and plans youth-related community activities in the district. Health-in-Mind Programme enables students to plan different workshops and activities to help students understand the needs of mentally rehabilitated people and avoid discrimination.

Elder Academy
To enable the elderly and students to realize their potentials, develop a healthy body and mind, and live an active life in a harmonious community that respects and cares for the elderly, to achieve “ageing with something to do”, “ageing with support” and “ageing with belonging”. In addition to providing lifelong learning opportunities for the elderly, it also provides young people with the opportunity to interact with the elderly, achieving harmony between the elderly and the young.
Health-in-Mind Programme
Students collaborate with off-campus organizations to plan off-campus volunteer services related to mental health or health promotion through Health-in-Mind Programme, which empowers students as mental health advocates to promote mental health to fellow students, their families, and the public at large through interactive activities and experiential personal development training.
