What is SLP? • Provide supplementary information on secondary school leavers’ competencies and specialties, for giving a fuller picture of the students, in terms of whole person development. • Under the NSS education, students should be encouraged to build up a profile to record and reflect on their learning experiences and achievements. • It is both a learning tool and a means to demonstrate personal development and the expected qualities of student.
Suggested Design and Implementation • It would be school-based and the content may include brief information of: • Academic performance in school; • Other Learning Experiences; and • Awards / achievements gained outside schools • Student Self-Account

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.
