Student Counselling and Support Service | 宣道會陳元喜小學

Student Counselling Service

Adopting a comprehensive student counselling service, our school makes use of the funds allocated by the Education Bureau to hire school social workers and spiritual counsellors who provide comprehensive support for our students in terms of learning, social interaction, emotional management, etc. We also work closely with our teachers and parents to assist our students every step of the way throughout their growing process.

Student Support Service

Adopting the "whole-school approach" to take care of the individual differences of our students, we provide early support for students with special educational needs through "early identification". With a wide range of support services provided in three levels, we improve our student's learning skills, enhance their social skills, and strengthen their emotional control to achieve the whole-person development. We also work closely with parents to build a caring campus for our students.
