Our Grade 3 students have been turning their latest movement programme into an absolute masterclass of creativity, control, and confidence! 🤸🏿‍♂️ They have been creating their own small-group movement routines. Each group chose a song, created a beginning pose and ending pose, planned their moves to counts of eight, and worked together to make sure everyone contributed ideas and movements.🎵🔢

Inspiring the Next Generation:
The absolute highlight of the unit was when our Grade 3 students showcased their finished routines to a very special audience: our Pre-K and Kindergarten learners! 👶🏽👀

Our Grade 3s stepped up as proud role models, demonstrating incredible balance, timing, and teamwork to their captivated younger peers. The performance was filled with wide-eyed wonder, massive smiles.

We are so proud of how our young Dragonflies brought their creative thinkings to life and shared the joy of movement with our school community! 🌟

This week, our Grade 8 science class dived deeper into our forensic science unit with a hands-on investigation into fingerprinting🕵️‍♂️🔍. Moving from theory to practice, students learned how to dust for prints, lift them using specialised tape, and analyse the unique ridge patterns that make every individual distinct. Seeing our own loops, whorls and arches come to life on paper brought the science to life and was a fascinating and memorable exploration into the world of crime scene investigation.

Our Grade 11 students recently took their learning outside the classroom with an educational field trip to the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) 🏦. As the central bank of Hong Kong, the HKMA provides vital services to the local economy, most notably approving money production and directing monetary policy.

During the visit, students explored the mechanics behind discount lending rates, open market operations of bonds, and reserve requirements for commercial banks. These responsibilities form a central part of the Macroeconomics syllabus within the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP), providing our learners with a real experience of how central banks operate in practice.

Beyond the textbook, this hands-on experience challenged our students to apply innovation and analytical thinking to real-world scenarios, whilst deepening their understanding of global citizenship 🌍 as they examined how local monetary decisions influence the wider global economy. A huge thank you to the 香港金融管理局 Hong Kong Monetary Authority for hosting our Grade 11 students and providing such an enriching perspective on global economics! 📊
