OLE

Other Learning Experience (OLE)

Under the NSS Curriculum, OLE is one of the three components that complement the core and elective subjects (including Applied Learning courses) for the whole person development of students. Building on the foundation of the five Essential Learning Experiences in the Basic Education , schools will offer students a range of OLE opportunities encouraging them to participate in the five areas of OLE, namely Moral and Civic Education, Community Service, Career-related Experiences, Aesthetic Development and Physical Development.

Recording Tools

(a) Log book

In the first cohort of HKDSE i.e. 2009, OLE log Books had been used to record the OLE activities of individual student. Such records will be transferred to an OLE Platform where students and parents can check the records from time to time. In the school year of 2012-13, such arrangement has been replaced by an “Extra-curricular Record System” (EARS).

(b) Extra-curricular Record System (EARS) has been adopted to record students’ participation in OLE activities organized or co-organized by the school. Upon completion of individual OLE activities (subjected to the approval of teacher-in-charge), students’ record will be automatically transferred to the OLE Platform.

Each student will have an account of which all their OLE activity records (including the structured programs, for example, P.E. and Aesthetics) will be put in. They can login into the platform via the eClass to check their OLE records and upcoming events there from time to time (The account of G10 students will be available by November).

Procedures to login the OLE platform:

(a) Login the eClass account;

(b) Click the icon of i-portfolio at the upper right-hand corner of the page

(c) Information of OLE together with the academic performance of a student will be merged together to produce an i-portfolio. It is an equivalent to a Student Learning Profile (SLP). Each student is encouraged to include a “Self-account” in either English (1000 words) or Chinese (1600 words) to present himself and to reflect his story of learning. Students are also recommended to submit a passage of 500 words summarizing their story of learning known as “Additional Information of Other Learning Experience and Achievements” (OEA) for the JUPAS. An electronic copy of SLP will be given to each student when they have completed their senior secondary studies in the school.

In the JUPAS application 2013, Student Learning Profile (SLP) and the “additional Information of Other Learning Experience and Achievements” (OEA) are optional. However, the school has to reiterate that these can be beneficial to the students as they serve as a means for an applicant to channel information on his interests and achievements to institutions for reference. Besides, SLP, self-account or OEA are among some of the overseas universities’ (including China and Taiwan) application requirements.

How OLE record will be handled?

*For activities that cannot be found at the OLE Platform, students should check with the Master-in-charge of the activity or to contact Mr. Andy Wong of I.T. Department at SIP.
