Non-Chinese Speaking (NCS) students

Our school is committed to building an international and culturally inclusive campus, with the aim of nurturing future leaders who possess global vision and respect for diversity. Within a multicultural learning environment, students engage in cultural exchange lessons and activities that expose them to the customs and traditions of different countries. Through these experiences, they develop cross-cultural understanding and empathy. We believe that every student has the potential to thrive and be well-prepared for the global stage ahead.

A. Building an International Cultural Campus

·       Cultural Inclusion Activities: We organize cultural carnivals, hands-on workshops, campus exhibitions, and Overseas Exchange Program to promote mutual understanding among students from diverse backgrounds.

·       Diverse Teaching and Student Body: We welcome students from various ethnic groups and recruit staff with multicultural backgrounds to foster an international inclusive school culture.

·       Language Support and Translation Services: Bilingual school notices, parent seminars, and translation services are provided to support Non-Chinese-speaking families in communicating with the school.

·       Uniform Groups and Community Service: Non-Chinese-speaking students are encouraged to join uniform groups and participate in community service projects to enhance social engagement and a sense of belonging.

B. Education Policies Supporting Non-Chinese-Speaking Students

·       “Chinese as a Second Language” Framework: Tailored Chinese language curricula and self-learning resources are provided to support Non-Chinese-speaking students in developing language proficiency.

·       International Chinese Language Examinations: To enhance language qualifications and broaden academic pathways, students are encouraged to take internationally recognized Chinese exams such as IGCSE and GCE A-Level. These exams are designed to suit the needs of non-native learners and are widely accepted by universities in Hong Kong and overseas, offering competitive advantages for further studies and employment.

·       After-School Support Programs: Weekly support classes, exam preparation sessions, summer bridging programs, and adaptation courses for newly arrived children help students integrate into mainstream classrooms and improve their language skills.

·       Teacher Training and Professional Development: Our staff participate in school-based support services organized by the Education Bureau and the University of Hong Kong’s Centre for Advancement of Chinese Language Education and Research. Regular workshops and seminars are held to strengthen teachers’ expertise in teaching Chinese as a second language and in curriculum planning.

·       Parent Support and Education: Through seminars, exhibitions, and community events, we help Non-Chinese-speaking parents understand their children’s academic progress and educational pathways, fostering strong home-school collaboration.
