(3) School Support for Non-Chinese Speaking Children:
Non-Chinese speaking children may be challenged with communication difficulties when learning. Their abilities and interests are also diverse and may require special care and support on some of the skills and knowledge in their daily life. The school will make appropriate class and grouping arrangements, encouraging these students to understand the local culture and living habits through interaction with classmates, creating a harmonious school life.
If interviews are arranged for NCS children, the school will arrange a translation service for applicants where necessary or allow parents to be accompanied by a Chinese speaking relative / friend during interview so as to facilitate communication.
