OTHER LEARNING EXPERIENCES (OLE) 

Other Learning Experiences enable students to achieve certain learning goals in contexts beyond the classroom. They can join a variety of extracurricular activities to broaden their horizons and enable them to explore pathways for further studies in post-secondary institutions and for career development in the tourism and hospitality industry. For example, students can have a chance to join a workshop called ‘Disney’s Hospitality in Practice’ where they can observe the daily operations of hospitality services in the Hong Kong Disneyland Resort and learn about the skills required in the industry.
