The rhythmic clatter of bowling pins and resounding cheers filled U.S. Dacos Bowling Centre in Tsuen Wan as our Form 5 and Form 6 students, along with their teachers, traded the familiar confines of the classroom for the lively atmosphere of the bowling alley as part of the school’s Energy Boost program. This initiative aims to provide students with a relaxing break from their studies and foster a sense of camaraderie amid their academic pursuits.

Students and teachers alike embraced the spirit of friendly competition and lighthearted fun. For some, it was a chance to unveil their hidden talents, while others simply enjoyed the social interaction and the thrill of sending a heavy ball hurtling towards ten unsuspecting pins.

Our memorable Cheering Day was filled with meaningful activities to acknowledge our Form 6 students’ hard work so far and boost their confidence for the DSE journey ahead.

The day began with a stress management workshop led by our dedicated school social workers. Students crafted Japanese Ema (繪馬), a creative activity of making traditional wooden plaques to convey wishes which encouraged them to reflect on their aspirations and goals.

Students had a lunch gathering with our Principal and teachers. It was a time of union and connection.

In the afternoon, the excitement continued with various cheering activities. Students watched heartfelt memory videos and received uplifting messages from their peers. This was followed by a sharing session where they expressed their appreciation to the school, teachers and friends.

To symbolize the courage to pursue their dreams, students folded paper planes, which served as a vivid reminder of their potential and passion for the future.

The day was filled with joy, inspiration, and camaraderie, complemented by special souvenirs embodying the school’s steadfast support, students’ treasured memories as well as a refreshed sense of stamina as they prepare to embark on their next adventures.
