This study looked into the experience of a group of elementary school students as well as their parents from Hong Kong, in a service-learning programme that aimed at facilitating the social-emotional development among gifted students. A total of 51 students and 72 parents participated in the focus group interview three months after the service-learning programme for working with children who have Down Syndrome. Transcripts of all interviews were reviewed using thematic analysis. Four broad themes were identified. These were: knowledge enhancement on Down Syndrome, improvement in interpersonal skills, facilitation of personal growth, and enhanced empathy, were identified. Our findings provided support for the benefits and impact of a short-term service-learning programme on improving multiple aspects of gifted students’ personal and social growth. As students and parents endorsed the value of this experiential learning opportunity, such a service-learning programme can be promoted as an educational option addressing gifted students’ socio-emotional needs and facilitating their psychosocial development.
