by Audrey Ho (S3S) On Thursday, 8 March 2018, the Secondary 3 cohort flew to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, for an eight day Humanities trip. We were split into two main groups of about 30 students each and visited many places around Ho Chi Minh City and the Mekong Delta. This included the Cần Giờ Mangrove Forest, a biosphere reserve recognised by UNESCO. We walked around the area learning about its history and importance of the forest to […]
S1S杨臻颖 上有天堂，下有苏杭。美丽的江南地区给我留下了非常难忘的记忆。这次旅行，我们去了杭州和安徽，亲身感受了当地的文化生活。 江南有很多美食。杭帮菜是我们在杭州吃的菜式，有叫花鸡、东坡肉、笋干老鸭煲等，它的特点是以咸为主，略带甜味儿，口味比较清淡。徽菜是我们在安徽省时吃的食物，有臭鳜鱼、红烧肉等等。徽菜重油，和粤菜相比，我觉得徽菜比较辣。我们每天吃的花椰菜就是这样的，刚开始有点不惯，但后来就觉得非常美味。 江南的风景非常美丽。我们在WOW Trip 的最后一天去了大名鼎鼎的杭州西湖，在那里看到了西湖十景当中的三个景。在曲院风荷，我们没有看到荷花，因为那时候是春天，荷花只是在夏天开花。真是太可惜了！每天，我们看到很多山，山上有很多不同种类的树，这些美丽的景色让我更加珍惜大自然的馈赠。 除了西湖，我们还去了黄山。我们用了三个小时才爬到黄山的光明顶。当我们到达目的地时都气喘吁吁，累得不想动弹。但一看到山上美丽的风景，呼吸着山中清新的空气，我们一下子有了精神，开始不断地照片，想用相机记录所看到的所有美景。我非常喜欢光明顶的这张照片，因为我抓拍到了黄山的特点。黄山有很多山，层层叠叠的。离镜头最近的山是黑蓝色的，由近及远，山的颜色由深变浅，到最后是非常浅的蓝色。从相机里看，就是一幅色彩浓重的油画，漂亮极了！ 江南地区的建筑物古色古香。 通过参观江南的建筑，我们更多了解了当地的历史和文化。参观烧饼博物馆展示的古代烧饼店的大门时，我们了解到古代人通常在中秋、新年、端午节等节日的时候吃烧饼。宏村的古代房子中物品的布局大有深意。家家户户都在他们客厅柜子的右边放瓶子，左边放镜子，中间放时钟。这寄托了当地人民的祈愿，希望能一直平平安安。 江南地区的人们非常友善。我们参观了一个杭州学校，学生们都很热情，很有礼貌。我们都很开心可以跟他们一起在操场上做运动、玩游戏。快要离开的时候，有一群女孩子紧紧地拉着我，舍不得我离开，还问了我很多生活上的问题。虽然她们把我拉来拉去，手臂都有点被弄疼了，但是我却深深感受到她们的热情。她们一定要跟我拍照留念。你看，她们把我搂得多紧！现在回想起来，真觉得这样的缘分很是难得。 一方水土养一方人。江南独特的美食美景、风土人情让我了解了一个不同于我原本生活的新世界。而在接触这些不同的饮食、别样的风景后，我更是了解了一种全新的生活方式、历史文化。而这份了解让我更深地理解江南的生活，让我从一开始的不习惯、排斥到最后的接受、甚至认同的转变。在这次的WOW Trip中我收获颇丰，我希望我可以再次去江南旅游！

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……
A personal reflection on the Asialink Urban Sketching Trip to Kuching by Yuki Lee Yu Qiao (S3S) I felt that the Asialink Kuching Urban Sketching trip really let me grow as an artist. By observing many other experienced artists and architects, I was able to break it down composition, technique and media wise to understand their purpose, style and final outcome on a deeper level than I usually would have been able to before. Since I did not have much […]

During the 2nd semester, the P4s have been learning about the History of Hong Kong in Social Studies.
