The match also marked the emotional return of T. Dai from injury, while Arsh earned Man of the Match for his intelligent, selfless play.

Please be reminded that Monday, 8 December 2025 will be a school holiday, designated by the EDB in light of the Legislative Council General Election taking place on 7 December.

Our Year 4 students were treated to an inspirational visit this week from three talented members of our parent community, who volunteered their time to share their musical expertise. Professional Hong Kong Philharmonic musicians Linda Stuckey (flute), Tae-Mi Song (cello), and Lorenzo Iosco (clarinet) gave a mini-performance for each Year 4 class, enriching our "How We Express Ourselves" unit of inquiry.

The students experienced how music can convey powerful emotions and express personal feelings, and it offered students a deeper understanding of art’s ability to convey feelings and ideas. A big 'thank you' from all the Year 4 students and their teachers.

Take a look at the short video clips below.

This term, Year 1 dove into the exciting world of structures for our “How the World Works” unit. Last Friday, the children had the fantastic opportunity to showcase their learning with families during our Unit of Inquiry Stay and Play event!

Our exploration centred around the idea that “Structures are designed for a variety of purposes.” The students proudly shared what they discovered about different types of structures, both natural and manufactured. It was wonderful to see them discuss how these structures were designed for strength, safety, and beauty.

The children really shone as they engaged with their families, sharing how their learning came to life. Throughout the unit, they had been busy building and designing their own structures using LEGO and recycled materials, showing off their problem-solving skills and creativity. It was amazing to witness our students grow as they connected their classroom learning with the real world, seeing firsthand how structures played a key role in our lives.

This event not only highlighted their hard work but also fostered a wonderful sense of community, bringing families together to celebrate the achievements of our young learners.

Thank you again to everyone for their support!

Are you interested in a vibrant career in hospitality and culinary arts? 

On 21 November 2025, interested Y11 students visited our IBCP partner, the Hotel and Tourism Institute/ International Culinary Institute (HTI/ICI), where they were provided with an introductory session to the program specifics, including types of modules, events, and assignments they will encounter during the course if they select it as a pathway for Y12-13. They then proceeded to receive a tour of the campus, which included a training hotel, classrooms featuring various cuisines, and a cooking demonstration hall.

HTI/ICI offers comprehensive training in both hospitality and culinary modules, equipping students with essential theories and practical skills. Graduates can find opportunities in diverse settings, including hotels, airline catering services, cruise ships, private residences, and embassies worldwide. For instance, Chef Henrik has extensive experience across Greece, the UK, South Africa, the UAE, and Hong Kong. The communication and problem-solving skills developed during the training are transferable to multiple sectors, including banking and human resources, making this career path both versatile and rewarding. Students also learn sustainable practices, such as growing their own vegetables and herbs, as well as business-related skills like managing hotel budgets and costs. 

Upon completion, students may advance to a Higher Diploma, which includes a two-month internship facilitated by the institute, often leading to employment opportunities. There are also success stories of students continuing their pathway in universities overseas, such as Les Roches which is one of the few hospitality schools in the world to hold both Swiss Accreditation Council (SAC) status as a University of Applied Sciences Institute and New England Commission of Higher Education (NECHE) accreditation.

On Monday, 1 December our Y13 Psychology students had the opportunity to go to the Hong Kong Mindspace Museum in Castle Peak Hospital. This is the first museum of its kind in Hong Kong, providing a history of mental health treatments in Hong Kong, current practices and treatments, and VR simulations of various mental health symptoms.

Our students were able to learn more about the diagnostic process and treatment options and finished the experience with a Q&A session from their Human Library. 

The Lost & Found area has been reorganised, with items displayed in the Foyer.

Please collect any lost items by Friday 12 December. 

After this period, DC-branded clothing will be cleaned and sent to the DCPTA, and remaining items will be donated to charitable organisations.

We appreciate your support in keeping the Lost & Found area tidy and easy to use.
