Our students learned a lot from the experience sharing because the speaker was highly qualified and experienced.

Spelling Bee  (Senior Form)

A spelling bee is a competition in which contestants are asked to spell a broad selection of words, usually with a varying degree of difficulty. Our students ‘recycled’ the vocabulary items they had learned in class. They found it practical and meaningful because it helped them remember how to spell the English words easily.

Study Buddy Program

Language Across Curriculum

It aims to infuse English across the curriculum so that our students can extend their knowledge of the second language in a more practical way. They may apply those skills to course materials and projects. The inclusion of authentic course-relevant source materials in English prepares students for cross-cultural and multilingual demands of a global society. We provide our students with every opportunity so that they can use English. For example, our students can get more familiarized with the vocabulary items used on the school picnic day.

Halloween

The main tradition of Halloween is to dress up in all sorts of costumes like witches, superheroes, movie stars, or cartoon characters. Children celebrate the day by going trick-or-treating at night. They go from door to door saying "Trick or treat". The person at the door usually gives them some candy. Other Halloween activities include costume parties, parades, bonfires, haunted houses, and carving jack-o-lanterns from pumpkins. We also organize a series of activities every year so that our students can learn more English.

Joint Departmental Activities

For example, we conducted the Fai Chun Writing for the Chinese New Year with the Chinese Department, in which our students, teachers, NET and Principal enjoyed writing Fai Chun in Chinese and English very much.
