How to help students make informed choices of secondary school?

• The school has in place programmes and learning experiences to equip every child with self-awareness of strengths and talents, knowledge of secondary education pathways and career awareness.

• At P6, Form Teachers guide students in learning about education and career pathways. Parents can continue the discussion at home by having your child share on these key areas: • Who am I? (What are my interests, abilities and strengths?)• Where do I want to go? (What are the various education and career pathways?)• How do I get there? (What are the different programmes and courses offered by secondary schools?)
