The Athletic Meets have traditionally been the testing ground of the physical fitness our students. This year, it was also one of the fiercest arenas where the four houses pitched against each other for the honor of school championship and showcased their team spirit. All our athletes, including some of our teachers, did their best on the field and earned endless rounds of applause from the audience. In the end, Yellow house won the Athletic Meets overall championship with Red House following closely behind. The contests of strength in other areas between the four houses will carry on for months to come beyond the Athletic Meets and the brotherhood between our boys will continue to be strengthened by these friendly competitions.

On the 26th of September, parents of F.1 students attended a seminar which introduced them to both the academic structure as well as the extra-curricular activities offered in school. Parents were also provided with advice to help their children cope with life in secondary school. Experienced social worker, Mr. Kwok Kwong Fai, was there to give a special talk on Positive Dynamics, which stressed the importance of positive education. After the seminar, parents had the opportunity to meet and exchange ideas with the S.1 Form Teachers. We would like to thank our F.1 parents, whose active participation made the gathering a meaningful and fruitful event.

On Thursday 17th September the English Ambassadors (EA) met at lunchtime for their inaugural reception, which included “pinning of their badges”. The eager English Ambassadors from Forms 1-5 were told what they can expect during their time as an EA this academic year which was met with lots of cheer to show their excitement.

From hosting and facilitating games twice a week in the covered playground and giving a speech every Thursday during the morning assembly to participating in whole school English activities throughout the year, it is clear that this academic year will be a lot of fun for both the English Ambassadors and all SFXC students!

The principle role for the English Ambassadors is to speak English as much as possible and to help their classmates with English whenever they can.
