PTA Picnic

On 12nd March, 2023 (Sunday), the St. Francis Xavier’s College Parent Teacher Association (PTA) organized a Parent-child Spring Day Trip. We were excited to receive overwhelming response of the trip. Over 100 parents and students participated in the Spring Day Trip, traveling to the Tai Po Kau Nature Reserve and Lau Fau Shan Market, together with School Principal and teachers.  This day trip provided an excellent time for parents and the school to strengthen communication and for families to create precious memories.

We look forward to organizing more activities to promote parent-school cooperation and strengthen parent-child relationships.

Scrabble Fridays

We are thrilled and delighted to see that school’s lunchtime Scrabble sessions are becoming more popular with the students. Many of them have been having fun while learning new words and improving their spelling. In March, we had a particularly great match. In the game, one student was able to use all of his letters and score 33 points. We hope to keep up the momentum and continue to provide a fun and educational experience for all.

Pasta Salad Cooking Class

In March, a pasta salad cooking class was organized. In this hands-on cooking class, the boys learnt how to make a colorful and tasty pasta salad with nutritious ingredients. To start, they cooked farfalle, which is a bowtie-shaped pasta. Once the pasta was cooked, they chopped vegetables such as zucchini, button mushrooms, brown earth mushrooms, tomatoes, colourful bell peppers, and shredded carrots to add flavor, texture, and nutrition to the salad. They then combined the pasta with chopped vegetables and then tossed it in a homemade Italian dressing which consisted of oil, red wine vinegar, salt, pepper, garlic, and oregano. Lastly, Parmesan cheese was added to the salad mixture to give the final touch to the pasta salad.

In this cooking class, the boys were encouraged to be creative in their choices of add-ins to customize their salads. At the end of the lesson, they enjoyed tasting their creations and prepared takeaway portions to share with their families. They have learned how to cook, work well as a team, and eat in a healthy way.

Kickoff of Theatre Thursday

The school's new 'Theatre Thursday' program kicked off at the school's English Corner with a bang this week. This program aims to foster students' appreciation for the arts and English in a wonderful and interesting way during the school day. The inaugural event featured a screening of ‘Dog Gone’. Over 35 students attended and were fully engaged throughout the movie while enjoying the complimentary popcorn. The English Panel and students alike are thrilled with the success of Theatre Thursday's launch and look forward to a rewarding term of movies, and sitcoms, as well as other English activities.
