On 5 July 2023, a group of our F.5 students studying Economics and BAFS went on a guided tour visiting the HKEX Connect Hall, HKMA Information Centre, and Urban Renewal Exploration Centre. The tour allowed them to gain insights into the economic and social development of Hong Kong over the years. It was a valuable opportunity for students to broaden their knowledge and understanding of the subject content outside the classroom.

The Student Award Scheme of our Guidance and Counselling Section aims to encourage students to cultivate positive moral values, develop good learning habits, set goals and enrich their school life. The scheme was successfully completed in early June. To recognize students’ outstanding performance in the scheme, a one-day trip to Hong Kong Disneyland was organized for them as a well-deserved reward.

The trip on 3 July 2023 celebrated students’ hard work and offered them a fun, memorable experience. They enjoyed the exhilarating rides, fascinating shows, and had a great time at the different themed lands. Besides learning from the educational programs, students also fostered their bonds with teachers, sharing the excitement through the day.

Ultimately, we believe our appreciation will motivate students to continue their efforts and further excel in terms of both their studies and personal growth.

This year’s Inter-house Dance Competition organized by our four houses was held on 3 July 2023. The competition was divided into two categories: inter-house and open. The performances of the various dance styles were all impressive. Both our contestants and audience had a great time.

Our F.4 and F.5 History and Geography students visited Legoland Discovery Centre on 3 July 2023. They learned about the concepts of conservation and earthquakes through the exhibits and interactive workshop there.

In the ‘Miniland’, students marvelled at the Lego models of renowned landmarks in Hong Kong, such as the Court of Final Appeal, Bank of China Tower, and the HSBC Main Building.

In the workshop, they were divided into groups to make their own models of famous and historical landmarks worldwide, like the Great Pyramid of Giza, White House, Berlin Wall, and Arc de Triomphe. Their models then had their earthquake resistance level tested in the interactive zone. It was a meaningful experience to preserve the memory of the past and understand the features of earthquake-proof buildings through their very own miniature architectural creations.

Our F.2 Math Game Day was successfully held on 30 June 2023. Students applied what they had learnt in different Math-related games, including concept building questions, Sudoku games, calculation tasks and various math puzzles. They also showed their support for their representatives in the class competition session. Overall, they well enjoyed the event which was infused with mathematical knowledge.

Special thanks go to helpers from Class 3D for their dedication and professional work.

Engrossing games!

An exciting competition in which the class representatives tackled challenging math problems

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.
