Teacher-student Dodgeball Competition
A teacher-student Dodgeball Competition, held on March 28, 2023 at the Heritage Garden no doubt united the Ying Wa community. The event fostered a friendly and competitive atmosphere between teachers and students. Participants showcased their skills and strategy as they dodged, ducked, dipped and dived to avoid being hit by the ball. It was a thrilling match that kept both the players and audience on the edge of their seats, cheering and applauding for their respective teams. The event would not have been so enjoyable and successful without the great efforts of the Student Association’s Sports Committee.
Joint School Outdoor Sketch Activity with YWC (Part II)
Our S4 Visual Arts (VA) students had the wonderful opportunity to participate in a collaborative outdoor sketch activity with VA students from Ying Wa College (YWC) on March 27. The event took place in the beautiful campus of YWC which served as a platform for students to engage in creative expression through sketching. This activity not only cultivated an appreciation for the distinctive architectural and cultural features of the college but also facilitated communication and exchange of insights on artistic creation among students. Overall, this experience proved to be invaluable for our students as they were able to enhance their artistic skills and establish connections with peers from another school.
Basic Law Kahoot Quiz (Junior Forms)
The Civic Education Committee organised a quiz for students of junior forms on March 21, 23 and 27. The quiz tested students’ knowledge on the Basic Law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. Every class sent 3 representatives to attend the quiz and the software “Kahoot” was used to make the quiz more fun and interactive. In order to promote collaborative learning, students in the audience were allowed to give tips to the representatives of their class to answer questions so they could learn how to tackle challenging questions with their peers.

Founder’s Day Service 2023
The annual Founder’s Day Service was held by the Religious Committee on March 24. We were honoured to have alumna Mrs Li Sin Lai Wah Jenny (李冼麗華) as our guest speaker. Not only is Mrs. Li a barrister, but she is also serving as an Honourary Manager of the Incorporated Management Committee (IMC) of our school. To echo with the theme ‘Give me a chance’, Mrs Li cited from Isaiah 61:1-2 of the Bible and encouraged students to learn from Jesus’ humility and serve others with compassion. She also shared her personal experiences and inspired us to stay humble and grounded in our lives. It was truly a meaningful sharing which enriched our spiritual growth and reinforced our long-held positive values.
History Talk by Dr Joseph Ting in S4 History Class
Dr Ting Sun Pao Joseph (丁新豹博士), one of the most distinguished experts of recent Chinese and Hong Kong history and the former Chief Curator of the Hong Kong Museum of History, is also our History and Heritage Education Consultant. We are very honoured to have invited him to share with the S4 History students on “The rise of Chinese elites in Hong Kong after 1842” on March 22. It helped deepen students’ understanding towards Chinese history before the 20th century as the current syllabus has relatively less coverage on that period. The talk was interactive and we look forward to having Dr Ting again to further broaden our horizon on Chinese elites.
