Student Growth

Careers and Life Development

Rationale

Awareness and promise
We raise students' awareness on their own career/academic aspirations and guide students to steer their own direction through self-understanding and exploring different industries and job sectors. Students are expected to set an action plan to achieve their career goals and reflect on their progress and the feasibility of attaining the goals from time to time. They should continue to make necessary adjustments through the cyclic process of Planning-Implementation-Evaluation (PIE) for continuous improvement.
Nurturing independence

We believe that it is our job to guide students to make their own career decisions by empowering them to make informed and responsible choices on their learning, career goals and other aspects leading to a meaningful life.

Knowing One-self & the Competition 
Students need to know their own strengths as well as the situation of the job market to better prepare themselves and understand their own career/academic aspirations.

Catering for students’ needs
Students are grouped in accordance with their abilities and aspirations. We offer diversified programmes to different groups of students in order to cater for their individual needs.

 

Objectives

Students are guided to
  1.  establish and persist on their career aspiration, nurture a positive learning and working attitude;
  2.  make an informed and responsible decision for their study or careers based on their ability; and
  3.  plan in multiple ways and equip themselves to develop their careers after graduation.

All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.

Walt Disney (Pioneer of the American animation industry)

People with goals succeed because they know where they’re going.

Earl Nightingale (Motivational speaker)

Our plans miscarry because they have no aim. If one does not know to which port one is sailing, no wind is favorable.

Lucius Annaeus Seneca (Philosopher)

Living without an aim is like sailing without a compass.

John Ruskin (Art critic)

We succeed only as we identify in life or in war or in anything else, a single overriding objective, and make all other considerations bend to that one objective.

 

Dwight Eisenhower (The 34th President of The United States of America)
