LANGUAGE ENVIRONMENT

English Funland serves as a place of initiation of theme-based activities, film shows, Halloween Games Fair, English Newsletter Editorial Board, etc. which are all intended for strengthening students’ appreciation of language arts and contributing to a sense of commitment to the English culture.

The English Editorial Board is a driving force of the reading-writing culture on campus. It consists of six teacher advisors and 29 students ranging from Form 3 to Form 5. Our school English newsletter “Elegantianism” provides a good chance for committed editorial members to apply the language in a purposeful manner and attract a wide readership of English by means of presenting interesting and inspiring reading materials to the schoolmates. “Elegantianism” acts an “eye on the world”, exposing the reading populations to a wide variety of subject matters and genres and the student-editors and student-writers to an adequate range of writing and editing skills as required in the prospective HKDSE English.

School-wide English activities have been organised. They impress the young minds with excitement and joy, including 2011 Form 1 Halloween Games Fair, 2011 Summer Study Tour to Perth, 2011 Summer Intensive Courses for F.3 and F.5, 2011 HK Schools Speech Festival, 2011 English Summer Camps for Juniors and 2011 Form 3 Newsroom in new S1 English Day Camp. Another highlight of outside-school English learning, the Whole-year U.S.A. High School Exchange Program for Forms 3-4 will continue to provide suitable candidates for exposure to an exotic life. Currently, four students of ours (one F.3, one F.4 and two F.5s) are enjoying their exchange programme in the United States.

This is our motto - "we make an effort, we make a difference". The wide range of activities we offer deserves the wide applause of both participants and their parents.
