A heartfelt thank you to Mui, Tina, and Rog Thomas for joining our Senior Assembly as guest speakers on Friday, 22/5. Their message inspired our Grade 4–6 students and the many parents who attended. 🥰

The Thomas Family shared real life challenges, including hurtful stares and mean words and the less visible impact of cyberbullying, experienced even beyond school.🤩

What stood out most was the growth mindset they model: meeting difficulties with a desire to learn and choosing to see opportunities within challenges. Tina and Rog’s kindness—adopting and caring for someone whom they chose to love and support—and Mui’s courage to pursue dreams despite medical circumstances reinforced that obstacles do not determine a future.

Mui’s journey through rugby, yoga, Hyrox, and marathon running also inspired students to keep growing, adapting, and persisting.
📘 If you missed the sharing, we encourage you to read The Unexpected Adoption. The book is available on the family’s website: https://www.thegirlbehindtheface.com/book.html

Thank you, Mui, Tina and Rog again, for the honesty, openness, and hope that you shared. 💛

We are immensely proud of the courage, determination, and positive spirit shown by every student. ❤️

A heartfelt thank you to our dedicated teachers and camp instructors for guiding and supporting our students every step of the way. Your encouragement made all the difference!

During the Easter break 🐣, we organised a memorable parent-child tour to Penang, Malaysia 🇲🇾. Parents and students, along with Mr Lo, Mr Tsui, and Ms Rose Cheung, joined us for an enriching experience of cultural discovery, bonding, and hands-on activities.

Penang’s diverse heritage offered families the chance to see how different cultures coexist in harmony 🤝. Engaging conversations with local families provided valuable insights into their traditions and daily life.

Students enjoyed visits to plantations 🌴 and the zoo 🐒, participating in interactive activities that fostered a love for nature and wildlife conservation. A highlight was the Malaysian cooking session 🍳, where families worked together, sharing laughter and the flavours of local spices.

This trip was more than a holiday—it was a journey of cultural appreciation, experiential learning, and family connection ❤️. We thank all parents and staff for making it such a success.

On 21 March, our school came alive with joy and community spirit as we celebrated our annual Spring Social in support of the Life Education Development Fund. 🌟 With over 1,200 participants this year, the event was a wonderful reflection of the strong partnership between students, parents, and staff, all coming together to support the character development and growth of our students. 💛

A highlight of the day was our Grade 6 entrepreneurship booths, where students showed great creativity, teamwork, and responsibility. 🎪✨ Parents also played an important role by running booths selling lemonade and desserts, and by taking part in the exciting basketball and football competitions. ⚽🏀 This year, we were especially happy to introduce a new activity — parent-child dodgeball — which brought plenty of fun and laughter to the day. 🤾‍♂️

Families also enjoyed a relaxing picnic together, spending a great afternoon connecting, supporting one another, and celebrating as a community. 🧺🌞 The stage variety show featured wonderful performances in singing, magic, and dancing by both students and parents. 🎤🎶 A memorable finale saw 16 teachers performing alongside our parent Ms Jade Kwan, bringing the event to a joyful close. 👏🎉

Thank you to everyone who helped make the Spring Social such a special success.

Congratulations to Eagle House 🦅🏆 for winning the hunt! Well done to all the houses for joining in so enthusiastically and helping make the event such a fun and memorable occasion. 🌟👏🥳
