On 19 June, the school community came together to celebrate our Agency in Action Expo Day, an inspiring showcase of student-driven learning projects and entrepreneurial initiatives.
This year, 64 student-led projects took center stage, covering a diverse range of interests: art and design, food and baking, coding and technology, sports and physical education, social causes, and music. The Expo served as a platform for students to explore their interests and demonstrate their creativity and initiative.
Adding to the day’s impact, students welcomed representatives from two local charities, The Women’s Foundation Hong Kong and Mother’s Choice, who shared their impactful missions and encouraged students to think about how they can support local communities.
In the afternoon, we saw entrepreneurial energy come to life, where 35 student-initiated companies displayed and sold their products and services. We invited the founders of Swap & Shop—Year 12 students Sophie Cheng, Ally Chan, Ava Yu, and Maya Hirsch—to speak to our students and inspire them with their commitment to sustainability and social entrepreneurship through their unique secondhand clothing business. After the talk, students visited various student ventures, exploring an array of creative business ideas.
The day concluded with an assembly to celebrate the students’ achievements and recognize outstanding projects. Here are some of the award highlights:

While embarking on their projects, many students grappled with challenges—setting goals, planning effectively, and documenting their learning process. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our Agency in Action teachers for their guidance, parents for their support, and students for their enthusiasm and hard work.
