Session 1

Role of SLPin New Senior Secondary Curriculum


What is SLP?

• Provide supplementary information on secondary school leavers’ competencies and specialties, for giving a fuller picture of the students, in terms of whole person development.

• Under the NSS education, students should be encouraged to build up a profile to record and reflect on their learning experiences and achievements.

• It is both a learning tool and a means to demonstrate personal development and the expected qualities of student.


Suggested Design and Implementation

• It would be school-based and the content may include brief information of:– Academic performance in school;– Other Learning Experiences; and– Awards/ achievements gained outside schools– Student Self-Account

Example on OLE programme description – Visits to the elderly home

(Which one do you prefer?)

Students have opportunities to learn how to serve as volunteers in elderly homes. Three visits have been scheduled over the senior secondary years.

Students learn to serve as volunteers in elderly homes, such as offering variety shows and conducting activities. Through the experience, students enhance their communication skills and develop sense of empathy for the elderly.

An example on OLE Programme Description

Cultural Services Volunteers Scheme

The Scheme is initiated by Leisure and Cultural Services Department. School helps train up students to provide voluntary service to promote arts and culture. This broadens students’ horizon and awareness of the need to raise the quality of humanities. In the process, students enhance their leadership, communication skills and creativity.

How commitment to personal

goals was formed

An example on Student’s Self-account

…I enjoy very much to get along with people… Among the activities I joined previously, the most impressive one was the Cultural Services Volunteers Scheme. It provided a chance for me to broaden my horizon and realize the importance of collaboration with people of different cultures to make a better world in future. This has encouraged me to know more about people and to cater for their needs. Therefore, I have set a career goal to engage in marketing research and service business. …
