Delia Memorial School - Glee Path

Delia Memorial School (Glee Path) is situated in the Mei Foo area of Lai Chi Kok, Kowloon. The campus is within a residential neighbourhood and is a short walk from Mei Foo MTR station. The area is well connected by bus and MTR lines and is close to community facilities such as Lai Chi Kok Park and the public library.

The school offers education from Secondary 1 (S.1) through Secondary 6 (S.6). Students follow a junior secondary curriculum in S.1–S.3 and then may choose between the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education (HKDSE) or the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) in senior secondary.

It is a co-educational, day school. There are no boarding facilities, and all students commute daily.

The school has a Family Support Team which includes social workers and Home–School Liaison Officers. They provide counselling, interpretation for non-Chinese-speaking families, and liaise with external professionals such as psychologists and speech therapists.

The school does not have a country affiliation.

The school does not have any religious affiliation.

The website does not publicly disclose the start and end times of the school day or details about breaks and lunchtime schedules.

The school does not operate its own bus service. Instead, students are expected to use public transport, and the campus is within walking distance of the Mei Foo MTR station, making access straightforward.

Delia Memorial School (Glee Path) offers an English-medium secondary education from S.1 to S.6. In the junior secondary years (S.1–S.3), students study a broad foundation across languages, mathematics, sciences, humanities, technology, and the arts. At senior secondary level, students may choose between two pathways: the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education (HKDSE) or the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP). The HKDSE pathway includes core subjects such as English, Chinese, Mathematics, and Citizenship and Social Development, alongside electives like Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Economics, BAFS, ICT, and Visual Arts. The IBDP pathway follows the IB framework, with students selecting six subjects across different groups and completing the Core (Theory of Knowledge, Extended Essay, and CAS). Chinese as a Second Language is offered for non-Chinese-speaking students, and physical education and STEM-related learning are also integrated across stages.

The school’s Family Support Team plays a key role in promoting student wellbeing. It consists of social workers and Home–School Liaison Officers who provide counselling, workshops, and group activities to help students build resilience and peer connections. The team also offers interpretation services for families who may not speak Chinese, ensuring inclusive communication. Collaboration with external professionals, such as psychologists and speech therapists, helps extend support when needed. These measures provide students with structured opportunities to develop social and emotional skills in and beyond the classroom.

The school has a published Inclusion/SEN policy outlining how students with special educational needs are identified and supported. Referrals can be made by teachers, parents, or students themselves, followed by evaluation by the school’s educational psychologist. Individual Education Plans (IEPs) are developed, and accommodations such as assessment adjustments are provided in line with Hong Kong EDB, HKEAA, and IB guidelines. Categories of SEN supported include those recognised by the Education Bureau (e.g., dyslexia, ADHD, autism spectrum disorders). The school is not a specialist SEN institution but provides support through structured policies and collaboration with external experts.

The school does not publish details of a dedicated EAL programme. However, it provides Chinese as a Second Language (school-based) for non-Chinese-speaking students and states a commitment to language development in its IB Language Policy. The Family Support Team also provides translation and interpretation services for non-Chinese-speaking families. Beyond this, the school does not publicly disclose information regarding a specific EAL framework or staffing.

Counselling services are available through the Family Support Team, which offers both one-to-one and group sessions for students in need. The team works closely with families to monitor well-being and provides workshops on stress management and adjustment. The school also collaborates with clinical psychologists and speech therapists to provide external professional input where required. Mental well-being is therefore addressed through both in-school resources and external specialist partnerships.

The school does not publish a standalone safeguarding or child protection policy on its public website. Relevant elements appear within the Discipline & Guidance and Family Support pages, which describe rules, counselling, and collaboration with parents. These sections indicate that the school expects staff and families to play a role in monitoring behaviour and supporting students. However, detailed safeguarding frameworks or named safeguarding leads are not publicly disclosed.

1. Application Submission
Parents must complete and submit the application form either online or in person. Required documents include a recent photograph, copies of the applicant’s and parents’/guardians’ HKID or passport, past academic reports, proof of address (issued within three months), certificates of achievements, and a marked English writing sample from the most recent school year. These documents must be prepared before the application is processed.

2. Interview
All applicants are invited to attend an interview. This stage allows the school to meet the student, assess communication skills, and gain insight into their suitability for the curriculum. Parents may also be asked to attend to discuss the student’s learning background.

3. Notification of Results
The school informs parents of the admission decision through phone, mail, or email. Offers of admission are made on the basis of interview performance, academic background, and available places in the requested year level.

4. Important Timelines
For Secondary 1 entry, applications are reviewed in rounds. Round 1 ends in late September, Round 2 in late November, and Round 3 in late January of the following year. Later applications may still be considered on a case-by-case basis, depending on availability.

5. Special Pathways (IB Admission)
Students applying for the International Baccalaureate track (S.4 PLUS or IB Year 1) may be required to meet additional criteria, including academic results and interview performance. Parents should note that this pathway has limited places and higher annual fees than the HKDSE stream.

The school does not publicly state any scholarships. Instead, it offers a School Fee Remission Scheme, which is linked to the Hong Kong Student Finance Office. Eligible families can apply for partial or full fee remission based on assessed financial need, but this is not merit-based and is distinct from scholarships.

The school does not publish information about operating a waitlist or pool system.
