Two teachers of ours, Mr Chan and Mr Ng who teach Mathematics and Geography plus History respectively, had an open and frank conversation with students about a variety of topics in our second session of Shall We Talk? which was held successfully on 12 May 2023.

Our keen and cheerful Form 2 students asked about their work, impression of the school as well as their personal ambitions and achievements. Interesting questions included why they chose to teach here, memorable moments in their career, and possible alternative paths they could have pursued. Apart from the extensive responses and positive comments from Mr Chan and Mr Ng, students were also impressed by their advice on overcoming learning obstacles.

With many questions left unasked, the participants wished the thirty-minute session had been longer. We look forward to chatty, interactive gatherings like this for our students to get to know more about their teachers in a lively and relaxing English language context.

Our Student Union, Consensus, organized a Cake Making Workshop on 11 May 2023. The activity allowed students to express their creativity in a baker’s way.

Students’ self-decorated cakes could be a great token of appreciation and gratitude for their loved ones. Both aesthetic and fun, the collaboration is definitely an unforgettable memory.

Our musical, I Shall Be Remembered, is an adaptation of Mary Shelley’s 1818 novel Frankenstein and was performed by our junior students during the English assembly on 27 April 2023. Thanks to the effort of all devoted English Drama Club members, including the actors and backstage crew, and teachers, the musical was a great success that mesmerized the audience.

Arranged by our Career Guidance and Life Planning Section, some of our Form 4 students attended an inspiring event named Dialogue with Women Chief Executives 2023 jointly organized by the CUHK Business School and Women Chief Executives (WCEs) on 18 April 2023.

Our students were amazed and enlightened by these role models who have managed to break the gender stereotypes and climbed to the top of the corporate ladder. One of them shared a story about how she turned failure into success, and adversity into possibility. Besides, students were encouraged that gender bias should not hold them back and there is more than one path to greatness. The occasion not only broadened students’ horizons, but also facilitated their career goal planning. It is hoped that they will make the most of what they have learnt and work toward their dreams.

Shall We Talk?  is a lunchtime activity organized by our English Department for students to communicate more in English and deepen their understanding of the school in the form of interactive informal conversations. The teacher representative for the first session held on 14 April 2023 is our Principal, Ms Chiu.

During the thirty-minute chat, a group of enthusiastic Form 2 students asked Ms Chiu spontaneous questions covering a wide variety of topics ranging from her hobbies and life experiences to her work routines as the school head and her views about certain school policies and education issues.

Ms Chiu genuinely shared her invaluable experience as a secondary student, as well as why she became a teacher and subsequently a principal. She also gave useful advice on how to cope with stress and the heavy load of schoolwork. With a lively and relaxing atmosphere, the activity drew crowds of interested audience.

Driven by our students’ confident questions alongside Ms Chiu’s keen responses, the enjoyable and fruitful debut session proved to be a success.
