About Us

Today marked a special moment at Discovery College as we welcomed our Year 13 students for their final day with the whole college before they begin study leave ahead of their exams. It was a day filled with warmth, appreciation, and community—an opportunity to recognise not only the hard work our students have put in, but also the character and confidence they have shown along the way.

The day began in the canteen, where our leadership team served breakfast to the students. This simple gesture set the tone for the morning: relaxed, welcoming, and focused on saying a heartfelt thank you before the intensity of exam preparation begins. From there, we came together for a series of team-building activities and games, from duck-duck-goose, to bench ball and parachute games, this brought out lots of laughter and took us back to our Year 1 selves. One of the most meaningful parts of the day was the moment when students received hand-written letters of gratitude from teachers. These letters reflected the personal impact Year 13 students have had across the school—through commitment in lessons, leadership, kindness, and the way they contribute to the Discovery College community.

As the celebration drew to a close, we culminated the day with something truly memorable: a whole college guard of honour. Students and staff lined the campus to applaud Year 13 as they made their final walk through Discovery College to begin their study leave. Seeing our school come together like this was a powerful reminder of what makes a community strong—support, pride, and collective encouragement.

To Year 13: thank you for the energy, effort, and excellence you’ve brought to Discovery College. As you step into study leave, we wish you focus, confidence, and calm. We know you are ready for what comes next—and we will be cheering you on all the way.

On Tuesday afternoon, our Year 10 and 11 Visual Art students attended the fine art galleries of M+ to connect classroom theories with masterpieces. Encountering Zao Wou Ki’s artistic journey as a painter and printmaker, and eventual arrival at pure abstraction, the trip fuelled specific inquiries that unfold in the MYP Arts curriculum.

Rooted in our Hong Kong context, the trip provided a vital and authentic opportunity for students to engage in primary source retrieval. A highlight for both year groups was the hands-on Printmaking workshop, where students explored technical processes that they can now apply directly to current units.

The visit supported  the current Year 10 unit, Abstract Horizons, promoting further investigation into abstract landscapes, analyzing purposeful painting techniques and colour to understand nuanced meaning. Lively debates regarding whether abstract art must start with a source or can remain purely formal ensued.

Meanwhile, Year 11 students used the trip to launch their Independent Study unit, which fully embraces inquiry with the design cycle. They explored the works of Zao Wou Ki, Robert Rauschenberg, and the museum’s permanent collection to gain inspiration and primary sources for their final projects. The ultimate goal is for these students to learn from the masters while developing a unique artistic language.

The expected learning outcomes for the day were significant and now in the studio, students are already transferring images and gallery notes into inspired action.

Over the past few months, Year 11 students have been dedicated to completing their Personal Projects, developing new skills, and exploring a wide range of topics that matter to them. Through this process, they have created final products that reflect their learning and growth, and we are excited to share these with you.

On behalf of the Class of 2028, we are delighted to invite you to this year’s Personal Project Exhibition at Discovery College, taking place on 29 April 2026 from 10:10am to 18:00pm, in the Theatre on the ground floor. 

This year’s exhibition theme is “Library – Beyond the Shelves.” Students chose this theme to represent how a library is more than just a place for books. It is a space for discovery, creativity, and the sharing of ideas. In the same way, their personal projects go beyond surface-level understanding, reflecting their individual interests, perspectives, and passions.

Visitors will be able to explore a wide range of topics, much like exploring different sections of a library, with projects organised according to the global contexts chosen by students. From food to sports to science, there is something for everyone. We invite you to step beyond the shelves and immerse yourself in this meaningful and inspiring experience.

The MYP Personal Project has been both challenging and rewarding. It has pushed them to think critically, solve problems, collaborate with supervisors and peers, and discover new interests and abilities. The exhibition will be a special opportunity for students to present their hard work and share their journeys. As you explore, you will be able to ask questions, learn about different topics, and gain insight into their experiences.

Year 11 looks forward to welcoming you on 29 April 2026, from 10:10am to 18:00pm, and we are excited to share our Personal Project journeys with you.
