The U12 girls’ volleyball team was newly formed this season and faced their first matches after just one practice. Selecting 12 players from 21 was challenging, but they quickly came together. In their opening match against last year’s ISSFHK Division 2 champions, CIS, they struggled with confidence. However, they bounced back in their next match against RCHK, securing their first victory.

Throughout the month, the team showed great improvement, winning most matches and earning the top seed in ISSFHK Division 2, which secured home court advantage for the final four. In the semifinals, they defeated the defending champions, CIS, and faced Harrow International School in a thrilling final.

In the final, after trailing 25-27 in the first set, they rallied to win the second set 26-24. In the decisive match, DC took an early lead and maintained control, becoming the ISSFHK Under 12 Girls Volleyball Champions for the DC Cobras.

A huge thank you to all DC volleyball players from U14 to U20 who assisted during the ISSFHK Finals, especially recent graduates Kaizer Banerjee and Noah Chang.

On Tuesday 10 June 2025, Discovery College hosted a student-led TEDxYouth Talk with students ranging from Year 7 all the way to Year 12. Parents and students alike gathered for an evening filled with stories, questions, and bold ideas. The theme this year was ‘Sharing Visions’ and each student brought their own unique twist to the theme, with topics ranging from mental health, history, and sustainability. 

These talks will be uploaded to the TEDx and YouTube platforms at a later date. Stay tuned!

We are thrilled to announce that our DC Chinese Debate Team achieved an outstanding feat at the 2025 ESF Chinese Debate Final on Friday, 6 June, securing the overall second place! Under the guidance of Mr. Simon Man, who accompanied them to Shatin College for the competition, our students showcased incredible critical thinking, eloquent articulation, and remarkable teamwork, demonstrating their dedication and passion for Chinese debate. This fantastic achievement is a testament to their hard work and commitment.

Congratulations to all the debaters on this well-deserved success! 

As we wrap up this school year, the DC PTA wants to take a moment to express our gratitude to all of you for your unwavering support and dedication to the PTA, in particular our parent volunteers and parent connectors. Thanks to your help and efforts, we accomplished remarkable things this year, including the much-anticipated return of our beloved Family Fun Day after eight long years. This event was a true celebration of our community, featuring a Santa's grotto, a life-size snow globe experience, a Christmas market, and delicious food from our talented parents, in addition to all the performances from students. 

Another standout event was our Gala evening, co-hosted with DBIS, themed "A Night in Old Hong Kong." It was a wonderful experience watching our students perform, enjoying a captivating martial arts sword dance, and reminiscing with a video of life in Hong Kong during the 80s. The three-course dinner and dancing to a local live band made for a truly unforgettable night.

Throughout the year, we continued our popular monthly crafts with the students and celebrated end-of-year events across the school. We also supported various school activities through sponsorship and volunteer efforts, including the primary production, book week, the careers fair, DP Art Exhibition and the personal project exhibition.

We have enjoyed giving back to our wonderful teaching and support staff throughout the year with well-being Zumba sessions, pizza and mezze snacks earlier during break times and most recently a high tea event to thank them for the fantastic work with our children.

Looking ahead, we are excited to support three significant capital projects this summer. We are sponsoring the upgrade of equipment branding in our 2nd-floor gym, which is on track for completion by mid-August. Additionally, the upgrades to the Language & Cultural Centre and the AV enhancement of the SSC are also expected to be finished before the new school year begins.

Thank you once again for your incredible support and contributions. Together, we have made this year truly special for our students and community.

This week, our Year 9 and Year 10 students have successfully completed their second lesson on Academic Integrity. These sessions are a crucial part of our commitment to fostering a culture of honesty and ethical scholarship within our school community, especially in the age of Generative AI (GenAI).

This latest lesson, delved into the "Consequences of Academic Integrity Infringements".

Students learned about various "Academic Penalties" , including assessment resubmission, failing the assignment (potentially a zero or failing grade), all the way to  suspension in severe cases, especially at IB or university level. The lesson also covered "Personal Consequences" such as damaged reputation among peers and teachers, loss of trust and respect, loss of awards and scholarships, increased stress and anxiety from the fear of being caught, and a loss of self-esteem and confidence. The conclusion of this lesson circled back to the use of GenAI and reinforced that GenAI is a powerful tool requiring responsible use, with transparency and proper citation being crucial. It also emphasised the importance of asking teachers for guidance when in doubt about GenAI use.

As a final task for this lesson, students were asked to complete a quiz designed to assess their understanding of academic integrity principles, particularly concerning GenAI. 

Looking Ahead and Parent Support

We encourage you to try the quiz yourself to gain insight into the concepts your children are learning and to see if you can achieve an accuracy of over 60%!

We believe that a strong partnership between home and school is vital in reinforcing these important values. We encourage open conversations at home about responsible GenAI use. We believe that by fostering these discussions and providing clear guidelines, we are preparing our students to be ethical and responsible digital citizens.
