Example on OLE programme description Visits to
the elderly home

• Students have opportunities to learn how to
  serve as volunteers in elderly homes. Three
  visits, altogether twelve hours, have been
  scheduled over the senior secondary years.

Students learn to serve as volunteers in elderly
homes, such as offering variety shows. Through
the experience, students enhance their
communication skills and develop sense of empathy
for the elderly.

An example on OLE Programme Description
Cultural Services Volunteers Scheme
The Scheme is initiated by Leisure and Cultural Services Department. School helps train up students to provide voluntary service to promote arts and culture. This broadens students horizon and awareness of the need to raise the quality of humanities. In the process, students enhance their leadership, communication skills and creativity.

An example on Students Self-account
I enjoy very much to get along with people Among the activities I joined previously, the most impressive one was the Cultural Services Volunteers Scheme. It provided a chance for me to broaden my horizon and realize the importance of collaboration with people of different cultures to make a better world in future. This has encouraged me to know more about people and to cater for their needs. Therefore, I have set a career goal to engage in marketing research and service business.
