Yau Tsim Mong Distance Run 2015

The Yau Tsim Mong Distance Run 2015 was held on Sunday, 15th March 2015 at the West Kowloon Waterfront Promenade. Although the weather was foggy and humid in the morning, it did not dampen their enthusiasm and spirits.

Our teachers, athletic teams, students and alumni gave their best in the individual or group relay runs. Our 91st boy scouts were also one of the helpers at the event.

We were honored that our A and B Grade Athletic Teams won the third place and first place respectively in the Inter-school Team Relay. Congratulations!

After the runs, the participants enjoyed themselves at the game and food stalls where they cheerfully spent time with their family and friends. This festive run indeed made an eventful and memorable family day for all the participants!

3rd Gathering of the English Ambassadors

London Calling!

Mr. Varma, our Native English Teacher, was keen to impart some local knowledge on the English Ambassadors about his home city of London. The 3rd English Ambassadors’ gathering took place on 11th March and the EAs were told exciting facts about various monuments and both famous and notorious people from the English capital. They learned lots of trivia from telephone box windows and the initials of reigning monarchs on the red pillar boxes to the ravens of the Tower of London and the mistaken purchase of Tower Bridge by the USA.

Finally, in small groups the English Ambassadors devised a story using the new vocabulary along with the facts and figures just learned. The stories were allowed to be nonsensical in order to aid memorization. Another enjoyable and fun gathering for the English Ambassadors!
