In June, our F.4 and F.5 VA students visited two exciting art exhibitions, namely CUHK’s B.A. Graduate Exhibition ‘Before It Billows Out’ on June 2 and EDB’s Exhibition of Student Visual Arts Work 2022/23 on June 26.

The visits enabled our students to engage with the broader art community in Hong Kong. They got to see how art can be used to convey different messages and ideas, developing a deeper appreciation for the power of artistic expression.

Students found the activities enjoyable, educational as well as inspiring, and are looking forward to similar opportunities in the future.

Our 4th Staff Development Day this year was held on 9 June 2023. A talk on National Security Education was conducted in the morning, while a sharing session on our open classroom lesson observation along with KLA discussion and reflection was arranged in the afternoon.

Ms Elsie Leung Oi-sie, GBM, JP joined us as our guest speaker of the talk for our teachers’ professional development. With her views and insights, we had an opportunity to explore the importance of National Security Education in today’s complex and ever-changing world. We engaged in a thought-provoking dialogue on the vital role of education in ensuring our nation’s security, and are more than grateful for Ms Leung’s enlightenment.

Open classroom lesson observation, on the other hand, has been one of our major practices this year, involving 12 of our teachers who were invited to open their lessons to colleagues to further foster collaboration and a knowledge-sharing culture in the school. The afternoon sharing session of our Staff Development Day was a good time to connect and look back on what we had learnt from one another’s lessons, offering us a chance to connect, refine our methodologies, and build a vibrant learning and teaching community.

Our Career and Life Planning Section organised a university visit for Form 3 students on 30 May 2023. The event aimed to reinforce their career goals and broaden their horizons. Apart from listening to talks, visiting the facilities and meeting some alumni, they engaged in discussions with faculty members and current students, expanding their network and gaining a better understanding of university life. Our students are inspired and motivated to pursue their dreams and empowered to make informed decisions about their academic endeavours.

Our school places great emphasis on learning through practice to ensure that our students’ learning journey is fruitful and effective.

The visit to the Deloitte Hong Kong Head Office on 25 May 2023 provided our Form 4 BAFS students with a unique opportunity to explore one of the Big 4 accounting firms, gain insights into the corporate functions of the leading global provider of related professional services, and receive guidance from Deloitte staff on how to develop their career aspirations and acquire skills for the future workplace.

With rapid development of information technology in the 21st century, educational trends around the world have been evolving. Schools now attach great importance to students’ ability in self-directed learning.

Our PTA understands that parents care about their children’s studies and growth. To provide extra support, we invited Mr. Rex Wu, an experienced counsellor specialized in parent education, to conduct an interactive parent workshop on 13 May 2023. Mr. Wu gave insights on how to motivate teenagers in self-directed learning and offered a variety of strategies. Parents’ feedback was very positive.

Game time!

Congratulations to the winning group!

Yayoi Kusama is a renowned artist having experienced difficulties in her early years, but she is still passionate about life. She expresses herself and overcomes obstacles with a positive and proactive attitude through her art creations. Her work has helped raise public awareness of mental and emotional health, bringing an uplifting influence to the world.

In May, some of our F.1 and F.2 students joined our “M+ Shall We Talk” art appreciation activity. Inspired by Yayoi Kusama and her works, students were encouraged to explore psychological issues and learn to seek appropriate support when needed.

Our STEM Carnival held in late May was coordinated by our Science, Technology, Art and Mathematics KLA.

With 11 information and game sections related to the applications of science and technology, students of all levels were invited to explore and have fun. Those with STEM talent had an opportunity to apply their knowledge in designing the games and devices, and explain their innovations and research findings to their schoolmates.

Some highlights are as follows:

We turned up the volume with our English lunchtime gig held on 8 May 2023. The audience were hyped up by the famous pop songs and happily sang along.

Not only did this occasion improve our students’ language sense, but it also helped them build their confidence and stage presence. Thrilled with such an entertaining and inclusive English activity, we look forward to more on the way!
