Student Support Department

The Student Support Department, looks into the planning support and intervention for individual students or group of students in the area of Social Emotional, Learning and Behavioural. The 3 units consisting of Counsellors, SEN Officers and Discipline Teachers works in tandem with the educators to render a holistic support to the students through workshops and programmes customised to suit our students’ needs.

This year, we embarked on the Reader Pen Pilot Project. In this programme, we hope that the use of the Reader Pen can enhance the learning and teaching in lessons, by improving the literacy ability of our students. Hence improving the engagement and motivation in learning for students.

Through the Occupational Therapy Student Support Programme, we aim to help students with special needs address their functional deficits. This has greatly benefited students with psychomotor skills coordination movements or sensory integration issues. It maximises our students’ educational potential in APS and enhances their employability, and ultimately their quality of life.

Despite the COVID-19 pandemic situation, the department continued with the After-School Engagement Programme and work with adult volunteers to introduce Character Building Programme in APS. In these programmes, we engaged students with sports, games, selfdevelopment workshops and community work.
