About Us

Our final "Fun Friday" was packed with energy, colour, and community spirit, all masterfully led by our incredible Student Leaders. From the morning drop-off to the final assembly, the campus was buzzing with summer vibes and celebration.

The festivities kicked off first thing in the morning. Students arriving at the front gate were greeted by a wave of summer music, vibrant Hawaiian shirts, and big smiles from our teachers and Student Council. Alongside the music and summer stickers, students were invited to pause and look back on their journey this year. Boards were set up at the entrance for everyone to post their favourite memories and reflective responses. It was a lovely reminder of just how much we have accomplished, learnt, and laughed together over since August.

The climax of the day was our student-led Whole College assembly, which truly showcased the diverse talents across all age groups. The energy in the room was electric. Our younger primary students brought pure joy to the stage with high-energy dance numbers and perfectly synchronised cheerleading routines. Fresh off their victory, the Red House band took the stage once again, proving exactly why they were crowned this year's Battle of the Bands champions.

Finally, the crowd went wild for a spectacular K-pop dance routine performed by our secondary students—featuring a few incredibly brave teachers who nailed the choreography alongside them!

As the music fades and the classrooms clear, we want to extend a massive thank you to our Student Leaders, staff, and parents for making this year so memorable. 

To our entire college community: thank you for your hard work, your resilience, and your spirit. Have a safe, relaxing, and absolutely wonderful summer break. We cannot wait to see you refreshed and ready for a new adventure next term!

We took our Year 9 and Year 10 students to Zhuhai on 15 and 16 June. The goal was simple: give them a day to use their Chinese where it counts, out in the real world rather than the classroom.

China in Action is a language and culture trip. Students crossed the border at Gongbei and answered the immigration officers in Mandarin. They ordered their own lunch, asked for prices, and talked to locals, with no script and no teacher stepping in to translate. Although the weather was wet on both days, students had a great experience. 

Year 9: sketching, brushwork, and lunch on their own terms

Our Year 9 group spent the morning at the Zhuhai Opera House, the beautiful shell-shaped building locals call Riyuebei, observing the architecture and sketching what they saw. Two hands-on workshops followed: a calligraphy session, where students practised brush technique and the patience the art demands, and a shell art creation workshop that several named as the highlight. One student wrote that the shell art was "very creative and interesting, and I had no exposure to this before."

Lunch was theirs to navigate. Students headed into the local streets to find food, order, and pay, holding real conversations with shopkeepers and restaurant staff along the way. That was the part most of them loved. "I was able to talk to people in Chinese with simple things, like asking for prices and food," one student wrote. "I spoke in Chinese more, which I usually can't in Hong Kong."

Year 10: independence, by design

Year 10 trip was built around independence. Students explored Jinwan Huafa Shangdu, a modern commercial district, on a community scavenger hunt, comparing how the area is organised and talking to locals as they went. They walked to lunch by stopping strangers and asking for directions entirely in Mandarin, the skill they had practised in class, now with no script and a real cost to getting it wrong.

Lunch was a pre-ordered dim sum meal, where the learning included the etiquette as much as the food. One student arrived skeptical and left convinced: "The table etiquette of tapping the table to say thanks, my dad told me people do this, but to me it looked rude, and I didn't believe him." Seeing it in practice changed their mind.

At the Hongqi 1970 sugar factory, students took a full Chinese-language guided tour and a hands-on sugarcane workshop, connecting the craft to their study of customs and traditions. Then they bargained for speciality goods in local shops, managing their own budget. They returned to Hong Kong across the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, which is its own kind of lesson. One student shared: "I could speak in Chinese in real life instead of just in the classroom."

A wet day, and a good one

Rain moved through for parts of both trips, and the Year 9 bike ride was one casualty. ("Do the biking next year," one student asked.) It did not dent the experience. There is something about needing to be understood by a shopkeeper who does not speak English that focuses a young learner faster than any worksheet. Students who stay quiet in the classroom found their voice when the conversation was real. That is the whole point.

What happens next

The students were honest in their feedback, and we are listening. The loudest request was simple: more time to explore and talk to people. That is a good problem to have, and it is already shaping how we plan next year.

Thank you to the teachers who made these days work and to our students who were open-minded and adventurous. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to our PTA for their ongoing support.

Today, our Year 1s completed their final summative task for our unit of inquiry, 'How We Express Ourselves'. Our central idea has been "imagination inspires people to create and share ideas,” and it was wonderful to see this come to life in their creations.

Throughout the unit, the children have been inquiring into different forms of expression, including art, fashion, sculpture, writing, music, dance, and drama/puppetry. We explored how people and experiences can inspire us, and how expression is a creative process with clear steps.

For their summative task, each child chose their favourite form and created something based on their own ideas, feelings, or experiences. They began by brainstorming in their UOI books, then selected one idea and explained why they chose it. From there, they planned what they would need and the steps they would take before creating their final piece. To finish, they reflected on what they made, what inspired them, what they used and how they improved their work along the way.

We ended with a Gallery Walk across the Year 1 classrooms, where the children proudly shared their creations and gave each other kind compliments. We are so proud of the creativity, thought and care they showed throughout this process, as well as the thoughtful compliments they shared with their fellow creators.

Huge congratulations to our Year 11 students who recently completed their voluntary educational placements! Stepping out of the classroom, they engaged in a diverse array of real-world work experiences across various professional environments.

This year, our Y11 students had the incredible opportunity to explore potential career paths across multiple sectors. Placements were graciously offered by a wide variety of organisations, exposing our students to industries including healthcare and veterinary sciences, precision engineering and architecture, finance and law, arts and media, primary education, and numerous charitable NGOs.

Working under the close mentorship of experienced professionals, our students actively participated in day to day operations. From programming manufacturing tools and assisting with clinical setups to supporting marketing campaigns and planning educational activities, they gained invaluable hands-on experience. Through these placements, our Year 11s have developed vital soft skills such as teamwork, interpersonal communication, and problem-solving, all while building their professional confidence.

None of this would have been possible without the immense support of our community. We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all the participating businesses, clinics, schools, and charitable organisations for generously offering their time, mentorship, and resources to inspire our students.

Furthermore, a massive thank you goes to the HEO team and Amy Prosser for their tireless work behind the scenes. Your dedication to organising, coordinating, and facilitating these fantastic placements has provided our Year 11s with an unforgettable and enriching experience. Thank you for your commitment to our students' futures!

On 14 June, brothers Desmond and Lynus Sarosi delivered spectacular performances at the 2026-27 Hong Kong Mountain Bike Race - Series 2 (Downhill). Organized by The Cycling Association of Hong Kong, China Limited, the race took place at the Mui Wo Mountain Bike Practice Ground. Both brothers rode exceptionally well and walked away as champions in their respective divisions.

Desmond secured the title of Champion in the Men Youth Aged 14-16 category. It was a highly competitive field, but Desmond dominated his run with a winning time of 1:43.240. Lynus also brought home the gold, earning the title of Champion in the Men Youth Aged 11-13 category. He completed his downhill run with an impressive winning time of 2:21.105.

We are incredibly proud of them both for their hard work, skill, and dedication to the sport!
