Speech & Languages

1. 

Our girls achieved remarkable results in “Passing On the Torch”, a project-based learning competition. The competition is an exchange programme held in Mainland China for Hong Kong upper primary and lower secondary students and is part of the National Education Programme series. As part of the competition, local primary six students visited Guangzhou and observed the blend of Chinese and Western culture in the city’s architecture. Upon their return to Hong Kong, students produced thematic reports in which they summarised their findings and reflected on the experience. Of the eighty schools that participated in the competition, the report from our team was selected to compete with nine other schools for a variety of awards in the final round. Our team came first in the competition and members of the winning team include Chan Hiu Nam, Yvonne Chan, Nikki Leung, Ellen Liu, Ally To, Tiffany Wu, Chan Wing Yu, Alma Chan, Jimsyn Jia and Khloe Tsang. Congratulations!
