• Understanding Adolescent Project (UAP)
  • Understanding Adolescent Project (UAP) is a comprehensive personal growth support scheme funded by the Education Bureau.  Its ultimate goal is to facilitate the enhancement of resilience of the students from Primary 4 to Primary 6, so that they can grow up healthily and be able to face the challenges encountered positively.  The Project enables the students to recognize the benefits of resilience through experiential learning from a series of intensive group and thematic activities (the three major elements of resilience include self-efficacy, sense of belonging and optimism.) Also, the students are to learn to transform the insights gained into actions and to consolidate those skills in their daily life, in order to tackle the challenges.

Gratitude (Gratefulness): Feeling thankful towards the provision of basic needs                                                           

Recognition (Self-affirmation): Accepting and expressing one’s feelings and thoughts honestly

In addition, 「開 – 心 同 行」 has been adopted as the annual theme of our service.
