Two teachers of ours, Mr Chan and Mr Ng who teach Mathematics and Geography plus History respectively, had an open and frank conversation with students about a variety of topics in our second session of Shall We Talk? which was held successfully on 12 May 2023.

Interesting questions included why they chose to teach here, memorable moments in their career, and possible alternative paths they could have pursued. Apart from the extensive responses and positive comments from Mr Chan and Mr Ng, students were also impressed by their advice on overcoming learning obstacles.
With many questions left unasked, the participants wished the thirty-minute session had been longer. We look forward to chatty, interactive gatherings like this for our students to get to know more about their teachers in a lively and relaxing English language context.
