Assistance will then be given from the MOE financial assistance scheme, the school’s internal fund, other source of fundings namely the School Advisory Board, the School Pocket-money Fund, the Buddhist Lodge, North West CDC.
3. There is the Students Suggestion Scheme, an easily accessible online avenue on the Knowledge Management, for pupils to make suggestions of
their needs. There is a committee comprising of a teacher-in-charge and 5 councillors from sec 2 and 3 that assess the suggestions at the end of each month. Feedback to the suggestions are made online, giving reasons for acceptance or rejection of suggestions. The winning suggestions are rewarded with tokens or vouchers worth $5; they are also pasted up on the Councillors’ Notice Board.

The Academic Counselling Form is issued at the start of the year to all pupils by their form teachers to enable their pupils to set their academic targets and reflect on the strategies used to achieve their targets. After the mid-year examinations, the pupils review their targets and strategies putting in place the necessary changes under the guidance of their form teachers. The Academic Counselling Form was reviewed in the middle of the year requiring the pupils to put in specific measurable strategies.
