This year I had the privilege of being the Captain of the U20 Girls Netball team again. Some might say we ended the season empty handed, but I digress, as our team has been through thick and thin. We have stepped away from this season not just with a greater aptitude for the technical skill and physical standards that netball demands, but also a greater understanding of each other, and ourselves. As a passionate netball player, I have grown to […]
As we spy our opponents warming up, anxiety and nervous anticipation spread through my body, knowing that our opponents are more experienced, stronger and faster compared to us. However, once the piercing sound of the whistle is heard, adrenaline always rushes through my veins and the queasy feeling evaporates. I witness the energy and enthusiasm of our teammates motivating one another to persevere despite our exhaustion, developing tenacity in our characters. Trainings have been intense, yet fun and rewarding. We […]
by Tai Ethan (S1M) and Sng Yan Megan (S1M) As members of the Swimming CCA, we spend time in the water practising on specific swimming techniques to improve our strength. We also do land training to build up our physique. But most importantly, we help each other develop great team spirit and valuable bonding as a team. All of these together can be challenging but also fruitful. Here we share more about what it is like to be part […]
By: Than Yue En Julia (S2S) From Nov 2017 to May 2018, the Science Club has conducted many exciting experiments and activities in- and out-side campus. The experiments and activities that we conducted covered a wide range of science topics. For Biology, we did experiments such as the extraction of DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) from a tomato and dissection of a cow eye. For Chemistry, we carried out experiments to learn food coloring and reactivity series of metals. We learnt […]
by Tan Kee Meng (S2L) and Mak Zheng Ping Michael (S2S) This year, the highlight of the Robotics Club CCA was preparing and competing in the First Lego League (FLL) competition. With the team of five supported by our teacher, Ms Law, we were awarded Merit, gaining a lot of experience in the process! In preparation for the FLL competition, we worked endlessly during our CCA on Thursdays, tackling the theme of the competition – hydrodynamics. At the beginning […]
By Danny Choi(S1R) and Hanshu Yang(S2S) This has been the debut year of the Photography CCA in the Secondary section, and it has been another exciting year. We have learnt a lot of skills from this CCA, such as how to take good photographs, as we were assigned to take photos according to different themes to increase our awareness of different perspectives of photography around us. The teachersin-charge also encouraged us to share our photos with our CCA members, […]
S3M 杨璐菡 在过去的几个月中，作为学校中文辩论队的一员，我有幸代表学校出战了由我校举办的，全港规模最大的“凯旋杯”联校辩论赛。经历了几个月激烈的晋级与淘汰赛，前后一共七场比赛，我们在参赛的十四间学校中脱颖而出，夺得亚军。站在亚军的颁奖台上，我回想起来我们在这次比赛中收获的许多赞美、掌声、礼堂中央的聚光灯和成功后狂喜的欢呼，但也有深夜里赶稿的辛苦、质询时的紧张和面对失败时的难过与失落。但对于我而言，这次比赛最有意义的是它教会了我辩论的意义，重新定义了我对辩论的看法。 尚未接触辩论之前，我懵懂地以为辩论就是把自己持方的论点炮轰给对方，哪方的论点更多，气场更强，就是哪方获胜。后来，我才慢慢发觉，所谓辩论绝不仅仅只是把手里的资料理直气壮地在比赛时读出来那么简单。 辩论教会我最重要的是辩证地思考问题的方式。在比赛中，我们时常会遇上一些让人第一眼觉得“一脸懵逼”的辩题，比方说：人工智能对人类社会的影响是利大于弊或是弊大于利？这些刚开始令我们措手不及的问题，往往在一轮轮疯狂地资料收集和讨论之后，在我们的脑海里渐渐变得清晰。正是赛前的准备，让我们得以对原本陌生的领域有所探究与理解。而严密的逻辑推导过程给予了我们对每个辩题独特的见解与立场。我们开始思考：“我们论点的依据是什么？“”对方在哪些方面可能会和我们产生分歧？”“我们应该如何反驳对方的论点？”。我渐渐明白，在比赛中获胜的一方往往不是论点更多的一方，而是逻辑的推导更合情合理的一方。 这场比赛同时赠予了我团队合作的默契与喜悦。辩论队为我们每个人创造了强大的归属感：我们共同讨论，彼此启发，在模辩的练习中提升自己的技巧，在比赛中训练敏捷的思维与临场的沉着。记得小组赛第一场惨败后，在备受打击地低气压中，我们很认真地围坐讨论着我们的不足与提升的空间，那时我觉得有一条隐形的丝带将我们联系在一起——那是对获胜的期待与对辩论场的执着。几个月后，半决赛胜利之后辩论队的聚餐，大家眼里闪烁的喜悦不是来源于我们战胜了对手，而是来源于我们战胜了自己。 我们为了胜利而来，但我们带走是对过程的收获与感激。我们为了说服对方而来，但我们在争辩中理解彼此、探寻真理。我想，这些或许比那座闪耀的银色奖杯更能留在我的记忆中吧。
作为一名刚刚从内地学校转学过来的新生，个人的优势无疑是中文表达能力了。当我拿着CCA报名表时，“中文戏剧社” 的字眼深深地印在我的眼帘里，大致的略了略剧社简介，一副画面呈现在我的脑海里：在座无虚席的剧场里，舞台的序幕徐徐打开，“刷”的一声舞台的灯光打在我的身上，顿时雷鸣般的掌声从四面响起…我激动地一拍桌子：“嗯！我要参加戏剧社！” 就这样鬼使神差的，一段我和戏剧的邂逅就开始了。 戏剧对我一种莫名的吸引力当我在剧院里，看到台上的演员演得那么有感情，那么有生命力，我就很自然地完全投入剧中人物和事件所造成的世界中，就算明知身在剧院，人家在“做戏”，我都无所谓，乐意地相信台上所发生的一切。 期待着期待着，第一次去CCA的日子慢慢靠近。踏入我们学校的礼堂，诺大的座位席深深的吸引住了我的目光——有一天，我们会站在舞台上，而然全校同学们就会集聚一堂，静静的坐在观众席上，一同来欣赏我们的表演。说到这里我就更加期待表演的日子的到来了。戏剧社的老师是一名外校表演老师，有着丰厚的表演经验和教学水平。一见到我们的到来，便和蔼可亲地向我们问好，没过多久就和同学们打成一片，老师同学们的欢声笑语洋溢在我们的礼堂。而戏剧社的学员们参差不齐，有些是中一学生，对什么走台、台词的技巧一无所知；有些是中二的学生，能把枯燥单一的剧本变得活灵活现；有些是中三、中四的学生，他们信手拈来的表演技巧，着实值得让我们敬佩和学习。虽然学员们来自不同的年级、班级，但是我们对表演都有一样的热爱。 每节课都在轻松愉快的气氛中无声无息的悄悄度过，眼看比赛的日子正在慢慢地向我们走来。我们的同学们更加用功的练习了——加课排练似乎已经成为了家常便饭，但同学们之间没有一句怨言，因为我们在做自己喜欢的事情，同时要明白这一切都是为了在舞台上大放异彩和为学校争取荣誉。 要说快也快，要说慢也慢——我们要去比赛了！在后台，同学们急急忙忙地换衣服，调整耳麦，练习表情、语气，忙的热火朝天。“要说不紧张是假”，就连那些已经比过很多比赛的“老戏骨”都在做深呼吸来平复心情，个何况我这个“新手小白”呢——我记得像蒸锅上的蚂蚁，走来走去，徘徊不定。心像要跳出来一般，上蹿下跳，只知道自己将面临着一项艰巨却又不得不为的重担。 “少顷，但闻屏障中抚尺一下，满坐寂然，无敢哗者。 满坐宾客无不伸颈，侧目，微笑，默叹，以为妙绝。”——这一切真正的开始了…… 舞台的灯光跟着我的每一次移动，我尽自己最大的可能去展现最完美的演绎…… 演出结束了——观众都沉浸在戏中无法自拔…… “哗啦”掌声像潮水一样涌来，人们沸腾了，为这淋漓尽致的表演赢得了全场所有人的欢呼，鼓掌，大家都用力地拍着，掌声经久不息，在大礼堂里回响。 没有任何语言可以形容出我们当时欣喜若狂的表情和百感交集的心情。我们的演出完美结束了；我们的CCA圆满结束了；可我们对戏剧的追求才刚刚开始……

by Ms Cindy Aoki The Roots and Shoots CCA raised HK$2,938 for the Society for Community Organization(SoCO).
