Applied Learning (ApL) is a valued senior secondary elective subject which complements other senior secondary subjects
to form a flexible subject combination that helps enrich students’ subject choices. The courses focus on practical learning
elements linked to broad professional and vocational fields with dual emphasis on theory and practice. It develops
students’ knowledge, generic skills, positive values and attitudes through providing simulated or authentic contexts, as
well as deepens students’ understanding of vocational and professional education and training (VPET), preparing them for
further studies and work in future.
