Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)

Their Student Guidance & Support team—comprising educational psychologists, social workers, guidance teachers, life coaches, and a registered nurse—runs grade-based seminars, workshops, peer mentorship (“Big Brother Big Sister”), and caring support groups. They also host school-wide events like “Thanksgiving Week” to foster gratitude and awareness.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)
Hong Kong Baptist University Affiliated School Wong Kam Fai Secondary and Primary School operates a Gifted Education cum Special Educational Needs (SEN) framework coordinated by the Centre for Gifted Education. The school follows Dr. Joseph Renzulli’s Three-Ring Conception of Giftedness and implements a three-tier model for enrichment, pull-out programmes, and off-school support. Within this structure, students with additional learning needs receive individualised assistance through the Educational Psychologist, Social Workers, and Student Development Team, who monitor academic and emotional progress. Support measures include Acceleration Programmes in subjects such as Mathematics, as well as the Double Promotion Programme for students demonstrating exceptional readiness, assessed through academic reviews and psychological evaluation. The school is not a specialist SEN institution but integrates SEN support within its whole-school approach, ensuring social and emotional development alongside academic provision. It is also recognised as a Gifted Education Satellite Centre of the Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education (HKAGE), connecting students with local and international enrichment opportunities.
