Final-year students on the Bachelor of Education programmes spend several weeks each year on supervised placement in local schools. This account follows one student through a typical week of teaching practice at a primary school in Tin Shui Wai, from early morning lesson preparation through to after-school meetings with her supervising teacher. The week included planning and delivering lessons across two subjects, observing colleagues' classes, and taking part in a staff meeting on supporting students with additional learning needs. Alongside classroom teaching, the placement gave the student an opportunity to see how a school organises its daily routines, communicates with parents and responds to individual students' needs. Reflection remains a central part of the placement: students are expected to keep a daily journal and to discuss their teaching with their supervising teacher and Faculty tutor on a regular basis. Accounts such as this one are shared with incoming students to give a realistic sense of what a placement week involves.
