Wong Shiu Chi Secondary School 182 Kwong Fuk Road Tai Po, New Territories FOR over 30 years, Wong Shiu Chi Secondary School has worked hard at helping its students to develop as individuals, all the time maintaining a balance between mental and physical growth.
And in the last academic year, the Tai Po-based school has stressed the relationship between studies and discipline.
Principal Mr Tsu Gee-chong believes the two are closely related, maintaining that if students enjoyed their studying, their sense of discipline would automatically improve. If the school paid close attention to the academic side, then the disciplinary aspect would take care of itself, Mr Tsu argues.
''Trouble can break out in a class where students are frustrated and get no satisfaction from learning,'' he said.
''With this in mind, we decided to introduce a Commendation Scheme last year.'' The scheme aims to create a harmonious atmosphere in school and to encourage the development of individuality in students.
''If the results are unfavourable, we will amend the scheme accordingly,'' the principal said. ''But so far, it seems to be working well.'' Under the scheme, a student is assessed every three months in four areas: compliance with school regulations, academic progress, participation in extra-curricular activities and classroom cleaning.
