This year, our Gatekeepers, a group of 39 students from Forms 2 to 5, are dedicated to fostering a supportive environment that promotes mental health and emotional well-being at school.

On October 5th, they took part in a day of adventure training, aimed at strengthening their teamwork and skills for their vital role in mental health promotion. One highlight was zip-lining across the school playground, where they pushed their limits on the high ropes with guidance from instructors, as their peers encouraged them. This challenge fostered trust within the team.

In another exercise, they climbed a tall, narrow pole with their teammates securing the base. Through communication and teamwork, they reached the top, reinforcing their bond.

The day enhanced the Gatekeepers' leadership skills and strengthened their commitment to spreading wellness messages throughout the school.

On the afternoon of October 3, 26 of our Senior Form students had the remarkable opportunity to visit the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Hong Kong. The visit was both educational and inspiring, providing students with valuable insights into medical education and career paths.

We were honored to have our alumnus, Professor Chung Pui Hong, shared his insights into the medical field, inspiring our students to pursue their passion for medicine. Students attended informative admission talk about the Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) and Nursing programs. These sessions provided essential information about the application process and the unique opportunities offered by HKU's Faculty of Medicine.

Additionally, students participated in an AR Education Workshop in Ophthalmology. This hands-on experience allowed them to better understand the symptoms of various eye conditions and the critical importance of effective treatments.

The visit concluded with another enlightening sharing session from our recent graduates, Mr. Winston Wong and Mr. Ryan Lam who are currently enrolled in the MBBS program. Their first-hand sharing of their experiences at HKU offered our students valuable perspectives on what to expect in their future studies.

We are grateful for the opportunity to connect our students with such esteemed individuals and institutions. This visit not only broadened their understanding of the medical field but also inspired them to consider their future paths with enthusiasm.

The F.1 Parents' Gathering for 2024-2025 was held in our school hall on 28th September from 2 to 5 pm, with 97% of our F.1 parents in attendance.

Principal Leung welcomed the F.1 parents and shared the new major concerns of the school, including the school-based Values Education framework. It was followed by introductions to our academic structure, national security education, discipline policies, counselling policies, and life-wide learning initiatives, presented by the respective teachers.

Our school social workers, Mr. Shek and Ms. Wong, also shared insights on how to help support their sons. Parents also received advice on how to assist their sons in adjusting to life in secondary school. Each parent was presented with a gift bag containing candies, chocolates, a tea bag, and a "thought for the soul" card.

Before the event concluded, parents had the opportunity to meet and exchange ideas with their sons' F.1 form teachers. We would like to thank our F.1 parents for their active participation, which made the gathering a meaningful and fruitful event.
