Student Learning Profile (SLP) For Senior
Secondary
A key to future success Students telling their
own stories

Aims of the SLP

• Reflects a fuller picture of a students
  whole-person development
• To motivate learning and engagement
• To recognise non-academic achievements
• To give employers and higher education
  institutions a more complete picture of the
  individual and his/her achievements if required

5
What could be in the SLP?
e.g.

1. Personal Particulars of the student
2. Academic performance in school (i.e. from school
   report cards)
3. Information of Other Learning Experiences
4. Participation and awards gained outside schools
   (if appropriate)
5. Students Self-Account (if appropriate)

Will SLP be considered in university admission?

• Universities will consider taking account in
  their selection a broader range of information
  about student achievements in different areas and
  provide students the opportunity to demonstrate
  that they possess the range of competencies and
  personal qualities that they will need to benefit
  from undergraduate education.
• Schools will assist students to develop SLP to
  provide comprehensive information about students
  performance in different areas and hence SLP has
  good reference value to universities.
