Discipline and Guidance as One Service

 

In line with the spirit of the Franciscan Order of the Catholic Church, the school has a strict school ethos, cares about the growth and development of students, and is committed to helping them develop a positive outlook on life and correct values. The school adopts the Whole School Approach to discipline and guidance and implements the concept of "Discipline and Guidance as One Service", namely "Management and Teaching through Discipline with Love and Guidance with Reason".

 

In terms of cooperation in discipline and guidance, regular case conferences are held for teachers to discuss student problems that require attention or intervention, so that an effective and consistent strategy can be formulated, and problems can be addressed as soon as possible. In the area of discipline, the school has set up an Attendance Section, a Uniform Appearance Section, a Student Leadership Section, and a Records Section to co-ordinate different tasks, and to update from time to time the Discipline and Guidance Handbook, the Reward and Punishment Guidelines, the procedures for coping with non-compliant students, and the record-keeping system, to establish a harmonious and orderly culture in the school. In the area of guidance, there is a clear guidance referral and follow-up mechanism to provide individual and group guidance for students in need, so that they can engage in school life and learn actively. The school attaches great importance to the role of class teachers in the nurturing work and has established a dual class teacher system in all classes to strengthen the care of students.
