Values Education & Counselling

Our school-based values education curriculum aligns with the school motto, student code, the Education Bureau’s Values Education Curriculum Framework, and students’ developmental needs. This curriculum is organically combined with subject curricula and Other Learning Experiences, in line with the “KCCStars’ Virtues” framework to implement moral education, discipline, guidance, civic and national education, environmental education, inclusive education, and career planning, nurturing students to become versatile and virtuous “KCCStars”:

• Devising a six-volume KCCStars’ Handbook, with form teachers providing appropriate guidance and feedback based on its content; setting moral education quotes; creating teaching materials for moral and current affairs discussions; conducting life education lessons, and organizing positive growth day camps to foster good character and a positive outlook on life among students;
• Collaborating with external organizations to implement emotional health support and growth programmes, such as the “The Year of Go!” activities, to enhance students’ resilience and peer support capabilities;
• Establishing uniformed groups, including the Scouts, Girl Guides, and Red Cross Youth, to promote school spirit, discipline, and perseverance, and to nurture students as future leaders;
• Forming student teams, such as the Prefect Team, Peer Counselling Ambassador Team, Environmental Protection Ambassador Team, Civic Education Ambassador Team, Pet Angel Team, School Ambassador Team, Library Service Group, Backstage Team, and Broadcasting Team, to cultivate students’ sense of responsibility, belonging, and spirit of service;
• Implementing school-based leadership training programmes, such as the Peer Counselling Ambassador Programme and Prefect Training Programme, to boost students’ confidence and develop their leadership skills;
• Organizing events such as Parents’ Days, Parents’ Evenings, further studies and career exhibitions and seminars, HKDSE Results Release Day Talks, and other parent-child education seminars to work with parents in supporting students’ career planning;
• Arranging for students to participate in charitable activities and the Life-wide Community Service Experiential Learning Scheme annually, including elderly services, Dress Casual Day fundraising events, and charity sales, to encourage students to serve the community with joy;
• Establishing a “KCCS Healing Space” on campus to create an innovative support platform that enhances students’ physical, mental, and social well-being.

In addition, school-based social workers and educational psychologists provide support and counselling services to students. The school is also funded by the school sponsoring body, Kiangsu Chekiang and Shanghai Residents (Hong Kong) Association to organize student values education activities to actualize the ideal of whole-person education. Our school is honoured to receive the Outstanding School Award from the “Hong Kong School Social Work Collaboration Excellence Programme”, in recognition of the effectiveness of our student support initiatives.
