by Tyrus Yeo (S3S) This year, I was fortunate enough to be chosen to take part in the Tianjin, Qin Huang Dao, and Beijing exchange trip organised by the A.S Watson group. Students from all over Hong Kong get nominated to receive this award, and this year there was a pool of 898 students from a variety of different schools. After strenuous interviews and camps, I was lucky enough to be shortlisted into the top 30 that were selected to […]
林琬庭 DP1B 在过去的暑假，我参加了由政贤力量和香港新一代文化协会联办的香港学生领袖江苏考察团，到了南京参观和交流，从中也学会了很多宝贵的知识。主办机构为我们安排了由南京大学教授主讲有关青年发展的讲座，同时也与南京大学的同学进行交流。 我还记得我是在去年二月份的时候，在一次很偶然的机会下从华文老师口中得知这一个交流团。当初只是抱着一个一试无妨的心态参与面试，没想过最后竟然能够脱围而出，成功入选。在南京的九天里，我们去了很多不同的地方。令我印象最深刻的是参观江苏卫视。以前我总是认为中国大陆是十分落后的，直到参观江苏卫视的时候，才发现内地科技的发达。他们有一栋大楼是专门为研究和开发新科技而建成的，里面有许多最新的仪器，当中采用的科技十分发达。 另外，我们也参观了中山陵。中山陵是国父孙中山先生的陵墓，透过参观中山陵，我们不但了解了南京市的发展，还对整个中国的变迁有了更深厚的认识。中山陵的面积很大，也有很多很长的楼梯，参观的时候正值炎炎夏日，大家都汗流浃背。可是我和组员们边走边玩 “猜楼梯” 的游戏，过程完全不觉得辛苦，反而很享受。 这个交流团不仅让我对中国历史和其科技发展有了更深的了解，同时也让我认识到很多好朋友。我是团里唯一一个来自国际学校的学生，对于中国历史的认识没有其他组员那么深。幸运的是，我的组员都十分体谅，也会跟我一一解释每一段历史。就算交流团已经完结，我们还会继续聚会，细味交流团的一点一滴。
by Clare Tso (S3S) and Gordon Lai (S3M) On Wednesday, 18 October 2017, when we disembarked the ferry, we were flooded with unforgettable sights, scents and smells that symbolised the old but thriving island, Cheung Chau. We were led on a trek around Cheung Chau by our instructors to discover more about the island’s rich history and culture. Humans have already settled in Cheung Chau for 3000 years, longer than most places in Hong Kong. They had left signs […]
by Tsong Jin Ming (DP1A) On 30 September 2017, the DP1s traveled to Sai Wan, Sai Kung to take part in this year’s SISHK Tier 2 Leadership Camp. The DP1 leadership camp was different from the other school camps because unlike the broad-based adventure camps in S1-S4, the DP1 students’ core objective was focused on how to become leaders and reliable teammates in dynamic groups. Throughout the two action-packed days, the cohort recognised the strengths and weaknesses of their […]
The Italy Art Experiential Learning Journey was an opportunity for me, as a IB Visual Arts student, to visit great works of art from both past and present. The art we were so fortunate to be able to see transformed from images on our computer screens to something very tangible and awe inspiring. The learning journey to significant Italian cities which brought about the Renaissance enabled us to better understand the context in which da Vinci, Michelangelo and other greats […]
