Christmas Service and Variety Show 2016
The speaker at our Christmas Service, Mr Enoch Victor Cheng, Preacher at Hop Yat Church, captivated his teenaged audience by asking about chasing stars. However his focus was not on contemporary glitterati of K-pop; he had an illuminating take on the journey of the Magi, guided by a star, more than two millennia ago. The three wise men who welcomed the infant Jesus recognized Him when others could not. Their discernment is a quality we should cultivate in order to see the Truth. Our Junior Choir gave an uplifting rendition of Christmas hymns and representatives of the Christian Fellowship read from the scriptures.

Theatre Exposure – Promotion of the musical "Wicked"
Miss Emily Shaw, principal cast member of Wicked was gracious enough to share the stage with two lucky students on 13 December 2016! Danessa Torralba (4A) and Amy Lo (4E) were privileged to get the chance to interview and perform with her, to the delight of around 500 schoolmates.
Theatre representatives of this world-renowned musical gave us insights into professional theatre production as part of their promotion in Hong Kong. Teachers and students also participated actively in the vocal warm-up exercises and Emily praised students for their thought-provoking questions. It was an entertaining and inspiring OLE for all.

由中西區區議會、中西區民政事務署、第十二屆中西區區節統籌委員會主辦，香港中西區婦女會協辦之旗袍設計工作坊，是第十二屆中西區區節的其中一項活動。本校32位中三至中五級同學參加是次活動，通過設計、修改和加工旗袍，認識旗袍製作工藝，並親身體驗當中的巧妙之處。過程中，由選擇材料、度身、車縫線位，到最後由其中8位同學擔當模特兒，穿上傑出作品，於西港城大舞台之「掌上明珠‧旗袍薈」巾幗活力旗袍展作公開展演，實在是一次難忘的經驗。
