Ying Wa Good Show (Nov 2022)
Cultivating students’ passion for performing arts has long been a Ying Wa tradition. Students get ample opportunities to explore their potentials in artistic expression and showcase their talents in the various platforms provided by the school. One of the much valued platforms is the Ying Wa Good Show. Thanks to the Music Department and the Self-access Centre, the show was held successfully on November 22. It was a big hit with performances ranging from music to English drama to K-pop. The talented, enchanting and graceful performers for sure captivated both teachers and students. We simply can’t wait for the next Ying Wa Good Show in the second term.
