High Events for S1 (2021-2022)
All S1 students got to join the High Events coached by the volunteers of the Hong Kong Police Rope Course Club and Novel Experience Consultancy Limited between October and December. Students were challenged to climb on high ropes either with their classmates or all on their own. Through this kind of experiential learning, students learned to get out of their comfort zone, to persevere and to be courageous and supportive to each other. We truly appreciate the Guidance Committee, all S1 class teachers and guidance of the Hong Kong Police Rope Course Club and Novel Experience Consultancy Limited in leading this meaningful personal development programme.

Not only the participants learnt more the procedures of eye tests, it was also a meaningful activity to help them understand the importance of fostering the social integration of minorities in Hong Kong.
