Broadening students’ horizons with overseas Study Tours

Keeping the connection with sister schools

 

“Exposure is King!” Many overseas study tours have been organised over the years. The places include Ireland, Brighton, London, France, Norway, Hastings, Melbourne, New Zealand, Brisbane, etc. Our students have more opportunities to learn about the current education situations in different countries as well as to enhance their English skills in an immersive English learning environment. 

 

Musical polishes students’ language skills

 

We hope that our students will enjoy learning English and fall in love with it outside of the classroom. With the help of the NETs, our students experience a whole process - from writing script to acting out the scenes. Actors on stage and the backstage crew both need to know how to understand the script and stage prompts. In 2019, we performed the English musical in Jockey Club Auditorium at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. Students sang and danced on stage, confidently displayed the sparkling learning results on stage.

 

 

Devoting teaching resources to support IELTS application

 

Our school also encourages S5 and S6 students to take other public examinations apart from the HKDSE, such as International English Language Testing System (IELTS), and will partially or fully subsidise the exam fees if students achieve satisfactory results. We offer IELTS tutorials after school covering listening, speaking, reading and writing with plenty of practice on past exams to enhance their test-taking experience. 

 

English Ambassador Programme

 

Learning collaboratively among students also further increases the opportunities for students’ language learning, so we organise the English Ambassador Programme. Senior form students lead activities for junior form students to enrich the school’s English learning atmosphere. English Ambassadors chatted with students and NETs, played board games, and held after-school movie viewing sessions from time to time to enhance students’ interest in learning English in a relaxed, everyday setting.
