S6 Catholic Students’ Retreat

Gratitude is indeed a gift and a privilege. Have you ever thought of the fact that when you lament the lack of clothes you owned, some in developing countries may be suffering? To help our S6 Catholic students open up their hearts to love and be strengthened by God, the Canossian Mission organized a retreat for all Canossian S6 Catholic students on September 16. Fr. Joseph Yim‘s sharing aroused our attention of the hardships the impoverished faced around the globe, and has inspired us to take action to express gratitude for the gifts we received from God, like things we owned and education we are lucky enough to receive. We are also reminded not to take anything for granted and to always be ready to reach out to those in need of help.

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:6-7)

Summer Bridging Programme (16-18, 21-22 August 2023)

Our 5-day-Summer Bridging programme has been a great success. After years of influence due to the pandemic, our newly joined Franciscans are finally able to fully engage in the range of activities and courses tailor made for them.
 
The programme began with a morning prayer. Mr. Law, our principal, delivered a welcoming speech, followed by an introduction by our vice principal and a briefing by the discipline master. The eagerly anticipated moment arrived as the students met their form teachers for the first time.

We believe that whole-person development is of the utmost importance in secondary education. Following the taster programme of core subjects, our newcomers were accompanied by their form teachers in the values education home program led by Mr Remus Kwok from City University of Hong Kong. Student leaders from the Student Association, the four houses, sports team, music team, and the counseling team collaborated to organize engaging orientation programs. These initiatives aimed at familiarizing F1 newcomers with the school culture and provide them with a well-rounded introduction. The charming smile and enlivening enthusiasm have uplifted the spirit of students and teachers alike.

We extend a heartfelt welcome to our incoming Franciscans! May their school life be brimming with joy and accomplishments.

Citizenship and Social Development mainland study tour 2023

Form 5 students participated in the Citizenship and Social Development (CS) mainland study tour in Guangzhou on 27th April 2023. Led by principal Mr. Law, nine CS teachers and Form teachers, the girls visited the Lai Wan Museum and Intangible Cultural Heritage Museum. As an integral part of the DSE CS curriculum, this tour serves as a precious opportunity for Form 5 girls to explore the traditional cultures of our country. It covers different traditional cultural elements including the visit to the Xiguan Folk Customs Museum of Liwan Museum (Guangzhou) and the Guangdong Province Intangible Cultural Heritage Conservation Exhibition Hall of Guangdong Cultural Centre.

At Liwan Museum (Guangzhou), exploration on a multitude of meaningful Chinese culture: the historical Chinese architecture of Xiguan House, beautiful glass windows, wooden doors, clothing of people and the contemporary image females in paintings, all of which reflected Chinese people’s lives, traditions and their social status in the past. This is followed by the visit to the Guangdong Cultural Centre, where students marvelled at the arts and performance arts of Chinese, for instance, Yue embroidery, Chinese lanterns, Cantonese opera, Lion dance, Dragon dance, Bird dance, and wedding and customs of minorities, to name but a few.

Among the aforementioned interesting exhibits, Yue embroidery is incontrovertibly one of the most eye-catching items. An embroidery depicting tulips in western style, together with bright threads with shining beads form a colourful picture. Bead embroidery is only one of the forms of Yue embroidery, other forms include “Ding Gum Sau”, woolen needlepoint tapestry and machine embroidery. It is renowned for its unique technique which makes use hair of humans or animals to form exceptionally smooth and even patterns.

Through appreciating an array of exhibits, F.5 girls have deepened their understanding of traditional Chinese culture, as well as the conservation of both tangible and intangible cultural heritage in China. This undoubtedly serves as a remarkable experience for them to enhance the sense of belonging to the cultural origin of motherland.

 “The CS Mainland study tour has enabled me to realize the CS curriculum aims through experiential learning. By participating in the field study activities, we have broadened our horizons, gained first-hand understanding of our country and its latest development, as well as understood and appreciated the achievements of our country and Chinese culture. This undoubtedly enhances our sense of national identity and sense of belonging to the traditional Chinese culture.”                                   ------5B Arielle Kwok

復活節慶典

耶穌被釘在十字架上,死後被埋葬。有兩位門徒失望難過打算回家,離開耶路撒冷途經厄瑪烏的路上遇到復活後的耶穌,他們改變了——眼開了,心熱了,並找到了方向,看到了自己的價值。無論經歷什麼挫折,其他人怎樣看待自己,只要能堅守信仰,定能夠克服困難。雖然有時候我們會失望,甚至逃避,但只要我們願意用心去尋找耶穌基督,就會找到希望。門徒當天在厄瑪烏路上遇上耶穌基督,我們又能否在日常生活中發現耶穌呢?今日我校請來一位舊生 (Agatha Ng)和她的丈夫 (宇彤)作嘉賓,他們的人生路走來一點也不容易,但他們仍充滿喜樂,一步一步走向他們的夢想之路,因為他們看見了耶穌基督在他們生命中所做的事。希望同學今天能藉著二人的分享,都像厄瑪烏門徒一樣「眼開了,心熱了」。

Formation of Heart – Joint-school Service Programme

In April 2022, ten Form two students joined the Formation of Heart, a joint-school service programme with Sacred Heart Canossian College and St. Mary's Canossian College. Through workshops and school-based service, participants strengthened their organisational skills and developed a deeper understanding of one's own strengths. In January 2023, these students held a tutorial session for the Form one girls to share their study tips on Life and Society and Integrated Science. The beautiful smiles on those form one girls’ faces were their greatest reward from the programme.

聖誕慶典

「星光引路」---- 耶穌誕生的那天,遙遠的東方有三位賢士看見了一顆十分特別的星象,於是他們透過那顆特別明亮的星來到白冷。憑著這星光指引,三位賢士終於找到嬰兒耶穌。他們歡天喜地,並將這喜訊告訴世人。事實上,並非只有三位賢士能得星光相助,其實天主在我們的生活中,也透過不同的人和事作星光,引領我們尋找真理,與祂相遇。我們於2022年12月22日舉行了聖誕慶典,透過當天郭志強執事分享第四位賢士的故事、祈禱、處境短劇和遊戲,讓同學明白及察覺天主已為我們作星光指引,照亮我們的道路,同時期望同學能成為別人的星光,帶領身邊人與主相遇。

School Picnic – Extended Learning Activity

It was the most awaited day of the year. Our school picnic was held on 4th November 2022. For the first time, the whole school went to Ocean Park for a picnic. The amusement park was a terrific choice for a picnic destination for students to learn while having fun. It raised students’ awareness towards wildlife conservation and marine creatures.
 
Students were required to watch a video clip featuring Conservation Battlefront Seminar before the outing. The programme introduced local conservation work from the aspect of technology, art and sustainability being done on three protected species in Hong Kong, namely Golden Birdwing, Green Turtle and Acropora Corals.
 
Students were divided into small groups to observe animals in the “Aquarium”, “Asian Animal World”, “Polar Adventure” and “Tropical Rainforest”. They had to investigate several animals of their interest, for example a Sea Horse or a Panda, and complete a guided field study worksheet about a few local species of their interest.
 
The Extended Learning Day was a self-directed learning opportunity for students to learn about the local habitat of the animals. They worked at their own pace which gave them a unique experience of interdisciplinary and self-directed learning. It promotes the youngsters to engage with others, plan and promote the conservation industry.

Visit to Hong Kong Science Park

On 7 October and 21 October 2022, our F.3 students visited the Hong Kong Science Park. They got the chance to explore the technologies of autonomous vehicle, AI and smart retail. The visit to some booths was helpful in making them understand more about the application of innovative technologies in different industries. Dr. Crystal Fok, the Head of STP Platform at Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation (HKSTP) gave a talk to our students and introduced them to the innovation and technology ecosystem in Hong Kong and its future potential. CUHK Robotics Team, the winners of Robocon HK 2022, enlightened our students through their sharing on innovation and how new technologies are changing the world and our daily lives.  

 

“We learnt a lot of interesting information about new technology such as how a self-driving shuttle makes use of sensors to detect people, objects, and vehicles on the road.  We also visited some booths and learnt how to breed crabs in an efficient way by using robots. During the visit, we got to know about the Mini-Robocon competition for junior secondary students. My classmates and I decided to form a team to join the competition, which will be held in March 2023. We are excited to be given the opportunity to construct and control robots. All in all, the visit was a wonderful and unforgettable experience for us.”

Ariel Cheng F. 3A

  

“This time, the visit to the Science Park was a very different experience. I was amazed to see an autonomous self-driven bus. This is an exciting technology in which the bus operates without someone actively driving it. We understand how it functions on the road and how the sensors in the vehicle can sense obstacles on the roads including humans or little animals. It was fun because I experienced how our lifestyle is being changed by technological advancement. This visit has been a rewarding experience.”

Our busy schedule may sometimes take away the peace in our hearts and distance us from God.

Sr. Veronica Fok and Sr. Agnes Law’s sharing enlightened us about the life and deeds of our Foundress in an endeavour to follow her footsteps in making Jesus known and loved.

Leadership workshop for team leaders

This workshop aims at strengthening team leaders’ public speaking skills. We are glad to have Mr VivekMahbubani as our guest speaker. He illustrated ways to speak with a sense of humour and boosted our confidence through various activities such as observation and role plays. Near the end of the workshop, participants paired up to have a “sell-my-friend” exercise. Students were asked to present their partner’s interests and one hidden fact in a funny way. We have not just had lots of fun, but also become funnier speakers. His comedy tips has worked magic!

SA Election

The election of the executive committee of the Student Association was successfully held on September 8. After months of preparation, the two cabinets - Soteria and Nova challenged each other on the stage. Both cabinets had to solve different tasks and answer questions prepared by the outgoing SA exco. The 16 potential executive committee members demonstrated strong team spirit, confidence and dedication. After a very close match and voting by students, Soteria emerged as the winner and becomes the executive committee of the Student Association of the academic year 2021-2022. Congratulations!
