The Mid-Autumn Festival is a cherished occasion that brings together various elements of our school’s curriculum through engaging and interactive activities. On 16th and 17th September, students participated in a series of cross-disciplinary events designed to celebrate this festive season.

Students challenged their problem-solving skills with Chinese and Mathematics Departments’ lantern riddles, whereas English Department’s Mooncake Challenge allowed them to explore cultural themes through creative tasks. Science Department’s Mystery of the Moon presented by our Science Ambassadors sparked curiosity about the moon and its significance during the festival. With the assistance of our Art Club members, Visual Arts Department hosted lantern making and rabbit origami activities, encouraging creativity and teamwork. In the realm of Music, on the other hand, students enjoyed the Guzheng solo performance and themed music played via the PA system that enriched the jolly atmosphere.

Our cross-KLA activities aimed not only to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival but also to foster collaboration, innovation, and cultural appreciation among students, making it a memorable event for all participants.

On 21 September 2024, our students explored the National Security Exhibition Gallery, deepening their understanding and better recognizing their duty to uphold national security.

Showing Hong Kong’s distinctive strengths in terms of security and stability, the visit broadened our students’ horizons and instilled a greater sense of responsibility, fostering patriotism and encouraging their active engagement in cherishing peace, contributing to national security and valuing their safe living environment.

Our Form 1 Bridging Programme was designed to facilitate a seamless transition for our Form 1 students into secondary school life while boosting their English language skills.

The programme started with an orientation day where students met their teachers and familiarized themselves with their classmates. They embarked on a campus tour led by senior form students, exploring various facilities and engaging in interactive exchanges. Through interviews with teachers in English and participation in English games at our English Activities Room, students had a fun and enriching experience. Additionally, our dedicated Counselling Prefects guided them in creating a music box and calendar as a welcoming gesture. Meanwhile, our bridging lessons provided a preview of their upcoming studies and enhanced their English proficiency.

Alongside the school activities, we offered students a 2-day-1-night Growth Camp at Pat Heung. With team-building games, abseiling, Chinese-style marching, flag-raising ceremonies, and shared moments with our alumni and more, the camp was an opportunity for students to step beyond their comfort zones, fostering their personal growth and resilience. We look forward to seeing their upcoming endeavors!

Our PE Department previously invited the Hong Kong Playground Association to host a crate climbing activity at our school. Buzzing with excitement, the participants grabbed the crates and ascended the towering structure with their strength and agility. Most of them exclaimed that they had never done anything like this before, finding it scary but exhilarating. The rush of reaching the top was totally worth it.

Laughter and high fives filled the air as each student successfully scaled the crate tower. The event not only offered a thrilling physical challenge but also fostered their sense of team spirit, proving that learning can be fun and that there is always room for adventure.

Our senior form students embarked on an enriching journey of exploration, visiting The University of Hong Kong and Hong Kong Baptist University. Engaging in insightful seminars, they gained invaluable perspectives on university life and the diverse career paths that await them. The campus tours enhanced their understanding of the dynamic learning environments and state-of-the-art facilities these institutions offer, well igniting our students’ aspirations.

Three students from our school had an opportunity to participate in the Beijing, Hong Kong and Macao Student Exchange Summer Camp (2024) recently. This 6-day programme aimed to foster cross-cultural exchange and deepen students’ understanding of the history and development of Beijing, Hong Kong, and Macao. Through interactive activities and site visits, our students gained valuable insights into the strong bonds and shared prosperity among the three cities, further strengthening their sense of national identity.

Three students from our school recently participated in an exchange tour visiting Ningxia to explore the advanced science and technology in our motherland. This enriching journey to northwest China deepened their understanding of the ancient Xixia civilization and Yellow River landscapes. The tour provided valuable insights into the region’s scientific and technological prowess, spanning renewable energy, modern agriculture, smart manufacturing, and digital economy. This eye-opening experience has strengthened our students’ national identity and their appreciation for China’s impressive strides in innovation and development.

In order for our Form 1 and 2 students to assess their acquisition of mathematical knowledge in the whole academic year, our Math Game Days were successfully held with support and well-designed questions provided by some of our enthusiastic Form 3 helpers. Solving puzzles and playing other Math-related games like Sudoku and Rummikub, students had a great time applying and consolidating what they had learnt.

Students took turns to answer concept building questions.

Students much enjoyed the various games.

Quiz time! The challenging questions engrossed our class representatives.

Our F.5 students were arranged to participate in a simulation programme offered by Crossroads Foundation Hong Kong to acquire a deeper understanding of challenges faced by marginalized communities worldwide and apply English in authentic situations.

The programme comprised AIDS X-perience, Blind X-perience, and Struggle for Survival. The AIDS X-perience presented the realities of living with HIV/AIDS, cultivating awareness of the stigma and struggles associated with the disease. The Blind X-perience, on the other hand, has sensitized our students to the daily obstacles of the visually impaired, fostering a new perspective on inclusivity and accessibility. Meanwhile, Struggle for Survival was about the complexities of poverty, prompting reflections on privilege, resource allocation, and the importance of sustainable solutions to uplift disadvantaged populations.

The insightful activities have served as powerful educational tools, nurturing empathy and a deepened sense of social responsibility among participants. These experiences have not only broadened students’ horizons but also inspired them to advocate for positive change in their communities and beyond.

Supported by EDB’s Community-based Projects, some of our junior form students joined an adventure programme in which they have fostered their positive thinking by overcoming fear in various challenging activities.
