Our F.4 and F.5 students had an incredible opportunity to visit the special exhibition titled “Botticelli to Van Gogh: Masterpieces from the National Gallery, London” held at Hong Kong Palace Museum.

Students embarked on an art journey and immersed themselves in the works of renowned artists such as Botticelli, Raphael, Titian, Caravaggio, Rembrandt, Goya, Turner, Constable, Monet, and Van Gogh. The exhibits showcased a remarkable collection of artistic masterpieces, highlighting the evolution of art from the Renaissance to the Post-Impressionist era.

Captivated by the intricate details, vibrant colors and emotional depth portrayed in each of the awe-inspiring paintings, students gained a deeper appreciation for art history.

Thanks to the very generous subsidy from our school sponsoring body and Quality Education Fund (QEF), during the Easter holiday, our F.1 students participated in a study tour to Sze Yap to broaden their horizons and experience the culture as well as customs of Sze Yap, at the same time, further enhancing their national identity.

During the trip, they explored various places in Sze Yap, including Wuyi University, Lee Kum Kee (Xinhui) Food Company Limited, Kaiping Museum, Liyuan Scenic Area, Xili Village Scenic Area, Aofeng Park, Enping Library, Enping Museum, Taishan Museum, Overseas Chinese Cultural Museum, Fuyue Village, Haikou Port Yinxin Cultural Ancient Street, and Meijia. To further strengthen connection and professional exchange with Mainland schools, we have formed sister schools with Xinhui No.1 Middle School, a renowned school being rich in both culture and history.

This cultural journey not only allowed our students to gain a comprehensive understanding of the history and recent development of our country, but also deepened their appreciation of Chinese culture and heritage, as well as treasured values such as unity, responsibility, resilience, diligence, and compassion. This very first tour to Sze Yap enabled our students to reflect upon their future roles in contributing to the development of our country.

In order to support the Education Bureau’s promotion of national education in schools, we utilized funding from the “Sister School Program” to conduct an exchange program with Lianjiang Middle School during the Easter holiday. Apart from fostering interactions with Lianjiang Middle School, our journey included in-depth exploratory visits to various locations in Lianjiang and Zhanjiang:

• Hedi Reservoir
• Hechun Filial Piety Cultural City
• Longjian Group Factory
• Guangdong Institute of Arts and Sciences
• Anpu Ancient Town
• Baogang Zhanjiang Iron and Steel Com. Ltd.
• Guangdong Ocean University
• Leiqiong Global Geopark

This study tour not only broadened students’ understanding of the historical and cultural aspects of the regions but also deepened their knowledge of the development of our country.

Our students participated in a Silver Salt Photographer Workshop organized by Chow Sang Sang Precious Metal Laboratory recently. They learned how to make silver salt photographic paper and gained valuable knowledge about the chemical principles involved. This hands-on experience provided them with a more profound understanding of the art of silver salt photography and its scientific foundations.

The vibrant spirit of Easter came alive as our students eagerly participated in an exciting Easter egg hunt. They searched around the campus for hidden eggs with jumbled letters inside. The challenge was to unscramble the letters to create a word, and success meant winning a prize.

Colourful eggs were cleverly placed at various hiding spots, making the search all the more thrilling. It was a race against time as students worked diligently to find the eggs, each holding a piece of the puzzle they needed to solve. Combining the excitement of a traditional egg hunt with a creative twist, it was a memorable experience filled with laughter, teamwork, and the joy of discovery.

Our 5th Staff Development Day was held recently with a talk on assessment literacy in the morning and a variety of activities in the afternoon.

While the talk enhanced teachers’ understanding of effective data usage to facilitate teaching and learning, our middle leaders training, war game team building activity and cooking session offered teachers an opportunity to boost camaraderie by having a great time together and working towards a common goal.

Blade of Fatality is our first original musical written by our English Drama Club members, Ambrose Chui and Harris Chui from Form 4.

To promote values education and positive thinking, our school library organized a talk on the topic of “How to become a successful person?” by guest speaker Ms. W.Y. Lee recently.
