The "Meaning of Life" component of PERMA encourages students to discover their values and purpose through reflection, service learning, and life planning. These experiences help build resilience, promote emotional growth, and inspire students to lead meaningful, purpose-driven lives.
Life Planning
Life planning is an ongoing and lifelong process for personal fulfillment, with different foci at different stages of the life time. At the schooling stage, life planning education plays a significant role in fostering students’ self-understanding, personal planning, goal setting, reflective habits of mind and articulation to progression pathways.
“To learn and to serve, in sprit and in truth, a better world we shall build, til’ all nations live in peace.” To encourage service learning throughout student’s entire school life, HLC provides a structured programme to let our students learn and construct a broad and solid knowledge base, together with diverse service learning experiences including overseas service tours, moral leaders training (MCE Ambassadors), outing activities and so on. We emphasise positive values such as respect for pluralism in society, care for others and empathy which are all essentials for pursuing a meaningful life.
The Career Team and Form Teachers work collaboratively to provide both group and individual counselling tailored to students' developmental needs at different stages of their secondary education. In the junior forms, the focus is on self-exploration, goal setting, and awareness of personal strengths and interests. As students progress to senior forms, counselling becomes more specialized, guiding them through subject selection, career exploration, and preparation for post-secondary pathways. This structured and student-centered approach ensures that each learner receives timely support in making informed academic and career decisions.
We aim to develop HLCians as a responsible citizen with a sense of belonging, civic awareness, national identity and appreciation of traditional values through partnerships with different subjects as well as different non-government organizations.
