The school drew on the space released under the measures to optimise the four senior secondary core subjects to offer “Social Entrepreneurship Programme” to secondary 4 and 5 students. This program provides opportunities for students to understand and experience the needs of different social groups. Through experiential learning, students propose innovative and feasible ideas to improve the quality of life for these groups. The program aims to enhance students' sense of social responsibility and develop their 21st century skills.
