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.

Four students from our school recently participated in an exchange tour organized by Sham Shui Po District Office visiting various destinations in Shanghai and Beijing, such as COMAC (Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China) in Shanghai, Shanghai Silicon Port, Westwell Technology, Sihang Warehouse, Shanghai Stock Exchange Education Base, Peking University, Baidu Apollo Park, the Hong Kong SAR Government Office in Beijing, and other local historical sites. The tour has enhanced our students’ understanding of the rapid technological development in the Mainland and history of our country.

Our Closing Ceremony, with “To Celebrate and Give Thanks” as the theme, was a significant occasion for all members of the school to honour the achievements of our students as well as the tremendous support and guidance from our dedicated teachers and loving parents.

With more than three hundred students receiving prizes and over a hundred parents attending the event to share the joy, it was indeed a momentous celebration. The ceremony was followed by a photo-taking session to capture the exuberance of the day.

Our School Ambassadors attended a half-day hospitality training programme offered by Hong Kong Disneyland. After enjoying the morning in the park and meeting the Disney characters, learning first hand from the cast members, our ambassadors were given a tour to observe the daily operations of the Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel, engaging in an in-depth exchange with the Guest Relations Team members as well as the Duty Manager of the hotel. Our ambassadors learned about Disney’s five quality standards which have earned them their global recognition for their exceptional hospitality and professional guest services.

This year marks the formation of our School Ambassador Team, consisting of 87 members representing Wong Tai Shan and promoting our school ethos. They will continue to demonstrate their amiability in their interactions with our guests in the years to come.

Our student leaders pledged their Red Cross Promise in the Oath-taking Ceremony of our Red Cross Youth Unit. Ms. Becky Yau, a representative from the Red Cross Headquarters, presented the Red Cross Badge to our leaders in the presence of our Principal Ms. Chiu, the Patron of our youth unit. 4C Lin Huiyan, our Head Section Leader, and 4B Feng Lee Ki, our Senior Section Leader (Training), also expressed their gratitude to the school and the team with their vote of thanks.

Our Form 1 Inter-class STEM Model Car Competition comprised three events, namely Speeding Car, Auto-stopping Car and Inter-class Relay. The teams integrated their knowledge of energy conversion in science, programming and laser cutting technology to create their own model cars to compete in the events. They surely enjoyed the challenge!

The class representatives made their final adjustments before the competition began.
