Overview
Student Wellbeing Team
At the YHKCC, we place great importance on the holistic development of our students, encompassing both academic growth and personal wellbeing. We firmly believe that pastoral care plays a vital role in nurturing our students’ overall wellbeing. By fostering a caring and supportive environment, we aim to empower our students to become well-rounded individuals capable of navigating the challenges of an ever-changing world.
To facilitate the comprehensive development of our students, the YHKCC adopts the PERMA model of wellbeing, as proposed by Dr. Martin Seligman. This model emphasizes five key elements: Positive Emotions, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, and Accomplishment. We integrate the PERMA model into our educational practices and design activities to promote whole person development.
01
wellbeing Activities
Facilitated by class teachers, students participate in wellbeing activities every morning. These activities include gratitude, mindfulness, building positive relationships and creating opportunities for students to share their thoughts and ideas with one another. We believe that by starting each day with a positive and mindful attitude, our students are better equipped to manage any challenges they may encounter during the day.
02
PSHE Programme
PSHE (Personal, Social, Health & Economic) education is a curriculum subject through which students develop the knowledge, skills and attributes they need to thrive as individualis, family members and members of society.
The constantly evolving PSHE programme is tailor-made to the needs of our students, helping them to manage many of the most critical opportunities, challenges and responsibilities they will face growing up. Topics such as how to develop positive relationships, making healthy choices, resisting internal or external pressures, making informed decisions, building strong physical and mental health, and seeking help when needed are taught throughout the PSHE curriculum.
03
Student Wellbeing Centre
At the YHKCC, we are proud to provide a dedicated Student Wellbeing Centre. It serves as a welcoming and nurturing space designed to create a positive and inclusive environment where students can thrive both academically and emotionally. The Student Wellbeing Centre is a supportive space where students can freely express themselves and engage in meaningful conversations with friends. It offers a comfortable and relaxed setting for students to unwind, share their thoughts, play board games together and seek support if needed.
04
Form 1 Transition
In order to facilitate a smooth transition for Form 1 students to their new environment, we have implemented initiatives that promote a sense of belonging and provide personal support. During the first semester, our Form 1 students have the opportunity to enjoy communal lunches with their class teachers in the school hall. This shared meal fosters a sense of community, responsibility, and belonging. Additionally, after their meals, students take part in cleaning up, reinforcing the values of responsibility and respect for their surroundings.
