English Week was held from 14 May to 17 May. The theme book this year was Wonder, in which students understand that our differences make us unique. By celebrating our differences and showing kindness to others, we can build a better and more inclusive world for all.
Every morning and recess, students appreciated the beauty of the book Wonder by reading the extracts. With the help of English Ambassadors, students confidently read out the extract to the whole school.
During lunchtime, students enjoyed making different handicrafts including Friendship Bracelets, Origami Heart Ring, Towel Teddy and Kindness Card.
On 16 May, ‘Anti-bullying Show’, a drama that highlighting the awareness of anti-bullying at school, was shown during the assembly. Huang Po Yi (4C) and Chan Chun Fai (5D) were also involved in the drama. Gao Choi Lam (5B), Tsui Sze Yan (5B) were the host of the show.
To conclude the Week, students celebrated their kind acts with sweetness. Chocolate fountain and selfie booths were set up so students could share their love and care with their friends and peers.
Aiming to enhance students' presentation skills and boost their confidence in speaking English, our English Department held the preliminary round of The Creative Speech Competition in school for S.1 to S.4 students. Winners of each form would then participate in The Creative Speech Competition organised by Hong Kong Education City (EdCity).
It is an intense competition, with entries from prestigious schools territory-wide, and we have four students successfully advanced to the 2nd round. We are delighted to announce that Ma Chun Hung (3D), Zhang Yanyan (3D), Lam Pui Yi (4C), and Brian Chan (4D) will record their presentations at EdCity Studio in the coming weeks in an attempt to enter the final round of the competition. We would like to wish them the very best of luck with their video shooting.
We are pleased to announce that three students from our school have participated in the 18th Daily Readers "Read Out Loud" Competition 2023-2024, organized by KEA Learning International. Diya Pun from 1C, Steven Zhao from 2B, and Henry Ko from 2D showcased their exceptional reading skills in the competition. We are proud to share that Diya Pun has successfully advanced to the semi-final, which was held on Saturday, April 20, 2024. Congratulations to Diya for her outstanding achievement! We encourage all students to participate in more competitions and showcase your talents!
To encourage our junior form students to read more English books during their free time, the school has subscribed to Highlights Library, an online reading platform. Throughout the term, some junior students have completed different reading activities on the platform. Based on the performance of the activities, 3 students each from S1 to S3 received a prize of two McDonald’s $40 coupons for their excellent performance. Additionally, students across S1-S3 were asked to borrow a book from the school library during Christmas and completed a book report for a book report competition. Based on the quality of their work, students were chosen as winners and received Starbucks coupons as rewards.
Our English Ambassadors are diligently preparing for the upcoming Information Day. As part of the preparations, they have decided to teach guests how to craft 'Friendship Bracelets' and Towel 'Teddy Bears'.
The 'Friendship Bracelets' symbolize the values of friendship and unity, while the Towel 'Teddy Bears' exhibit creativity and resourcefulness. The English Ambassadors are excited to create enjoyable and memorable experience for our guests!
English Café was designed to integrate English learning into everyday life, enabling S1 students to learn how to place a food order as a customer, serve a diner as a waiter, and prepare food as a kitchen staff in the school café. Students took turns to immerse themselves in these three roles and put into practice by interacting with each other in their English lessons.
Recess Activities are our daily highlight where junior form students join in a broad spectrum of interactive games in the form of inter-class competitions such as Pictionary, Word Chain, Spelling Games etc in pursuance of enriching their English language.
On 12 October, 5B Tracy TSUI Sze-yan and 5A Alex LAM Siu-hang, the two newly-appointed English Ambassadors of Term 2023 - 2024, represented the Ambassador Team to attend the School Leaders Inauguration Ceremony. In this term, the English Ambassadors will carry out duties including organising English-learning events, making morning announcements and serving as the MC at events with the purpose of equipping their proficiencies in English language.
