Our STEM Carnival held in early May was coordinated by our Science, Technology, Art and Mathematics KLA. Through the eleven diverse information and game zones related to technology applications, our students with STEM talents had the opportunity to utilize their knowledge to design games and devices as well as explain their innovative ideas to their fellow schoolmates, exploring and sharing their research results.

This year, the event was co-organized with the Government’s Planning Department, Hong Kong Baptist University, and The University of Science and Technology. With a total number of participants exceeding 400, the carnival enjoyed a much vivid vibe.

Some highlights are as follows:

Hong Kong Baptist University’s Chinese Medicine Exhibition

The origins and classification of Chinese herbal medicines as well as the relationship between Chinese medicines and chemistry were introduced. The exhibition also included a complimentary Chinese herbal tea tasting session.

Robotics Zone

Engineering students from the University of Science and Technology were on hand to explain the robotics exhibits and demonstrate the underlying programming concepts.

Sports x STEM: Reaction Light Game

It was a fun interactive game allowing participants to explore the scientific principles behind reaction time and lighting systems.

As a collaboration with Ming Gor, the renowned benevolent restaurant owner from Sham Shui Po known for offering free meals to the poor, our meal box distribution event aimed to promote values education with students putting into practice the virtues of care and empathy through community service, thereby cultivating their sense of compassion for the needy. Meanwhile, doing volunteer work together, students and parents have also built stronger bonds.

Our Counselling Prefects recently participated in a dynamic training day camp meant to foster their team spirit and unity. Having engaged in the outdoor cooking session and boat-building challenge, they well experienced success through teamwork. They have honed their communication and problem-solving skills in the process, emerging as a stronger and more cohesive team.

In line with the “Enhanced My Pledge to Act Funding Programme” of Quality Education Fund, our school’s Moral, Civic and National Education Section has collaborated with the Music Department to offer our students a Cantonese opera training class.

The training extends arts learning and allows students to sing and experience Xiqu and traditional Chinese culture in a stimulating, inter-disciplinary way as well as to get a taste of well-designed opera performances. Through the coach’s in-depth explanations in simple terms and a series of demonstrations together with newly compiled short plays and interactive sessions, our students have better grasped the Chinese cultural values ​​​​conveyed in opera stories, which helps cultivate positive education.

Our F.3, F.4 and F.5 BAFS and Economics students recently completed the JA Meet My Goals Mentorship Program organized by Junior Achievement Hong Kong (JA HK) and sponsored by Bank of New York Mellon (BNY Mellon). Participating in regular workshops and mentorship meetings with business volunteers from BNY Mellon focusing on financial as well as career and life planning education, our students were guided to set a saving target with the program offering a 1:1 matching fund, amounting to HK$1,000 per participant at most.

Our students have strengthened their saving habit to better plan and prepare for their future. The program has also enhanced their financial mindset and equipped them with the essential money management skills.

To cultivate students’ sense of citizenship and communication skills, our school participated in the Christian & Missionary Alliance Church Union’s Flag Selling Day on 20 April 2024. Students as well as teachers from our Moral, Civic and National Education Section formed a volunteer team and took part in this territory-wide event, raising funds for the church union in providing community service and care for children and the elderly.

Our Chinese Dance Team members attended a dance drama named The Legend of Lanling presented by the Hong Kong Dance Company.

Enchanted by the seamless choreography and vivid performance, our students had the opportunity to engage in an enriching dialogue with the show director and main dancers afterwards, gaining valuable insights into the creative process involved in the splendid production. This experience broadened their artistic horizons and allowed them to connect with professionals in the field.

Our Form 2 students embarked on an eye-opening career exploration in late April. They visited diverse workplaces. At Cordis Hotel, they learned about the art of hospitality. Meanwhile, the Central Mail Centre demonstrated the efficiency and magic of logistics. At J-HUB, students were introduced the alchemy of jewelry-making with precious metals. The West Kowloon Magistrates’ Courts, on the other hand, fascinated them with the intricacies of the legal profession, while the vibrant H.K.F.Y.G. Jockey Club Jat Min Youth S.P.O.T. ignited their passion for community engagement. Last but not least, SINO INNO LAB showcased an array of cutting-edge scientific innovations. These visits broadened students’ horizons and fueled their drive towards their dream careers.
