The Student Development Office (SDO) is composed of Student Development Officers, Student Counsellors and Physical Education Instructors. Regular activities are organised for students to explore their potentials for a whole person development.
Counselling Service
To help students develop a fruitful life, the SDO provides counselling service (including personal counselling, small-group counselling, and development workshop, etc.) for them to understand themselves and explore their potentials.
Whole Person Development Activities
Students are encouraged to develop their potentials and boost their self-confidence through various activities such as growth groups, workshops, adventure training, exploration programmes, peer counselling training, and leadership training.
Career Advisory Service
Everyone needs a career. To set a career goal, students should recognise their own values, interest and abilities and understand the market development. Besides organising career activities for students, the SDO also puts up the latest recruitment advertisements and updates online vacancy information regularly.
General Education
Moral, intellectual, physical, social and aesthetic qualities of each student are emphasised. The aim of our General Education Programme is to broaden the horizons of students so that they can better understand society as well as develop independent thinking and a sense of responsibility.
Financial Assistance
To ease the financial burden, full-time students can apply for VTC Fee Remission Scheme. FD students can also apply for Government's Non-means Tested Loan Scheme but they need to pay an annual administration fee and interest. The SDO helps students apply for Student Travel Subsidy Scheme as well as Personalised Octopus Card with Student Status of MTR and Light Rail. Besides, scholarships and awards have been set up to commend outstanding leadership and service of students.
Physical Education and Extracurricular Activities
The Physical Education Section provides Physical Education (PE) and short-term PE classes, including badminton, volleyball, basketball, football, squash, gymnastics, and golf. Besides holding athletic competitions, PE Instructors are responsible for training and selecting students to join various competitions.
Life Skills Courses
The task-based studies in Life Skills courses enable students to have a better knowledge and awareness of society. Topics include personal development and interpersonal relationship, modern China, Hong Kong Today, PE classes, etc. The modules are offered to students to help them develop positive values and attitudes so that they can learn to become responsible citizens of society, our country and the world.
Advisory Service for Student Organisations
The SDO also helps develop students' leadership and organisational skills. Venue support and resources are provided for setting up as well as managing the Students' Union and other student organisations. Other kinds of support include leadership and team building training as well as seminars on financial management and event planning.
