To give students assistance in further education and career pursuits, visits to government departments and local universities, talks by visitors from different professions and tertiary institutes as well as exhibitions in the related fields are held from time to time. With the development of information technology, our students are always provided with the latest information on further education and career pursuits. Individual guidance is available, and parents are also invited to join discussions. Surveys on our graduates are conducted every year so as to keep up with the study and employment pursuits of our students.
