"Youth is easily spent, learning is hard to achieve; every inch of time should not be taken lightly."

As the cool autumn breeze rolls in, we welcome the beginning of a new semester. The school has planned various activities to kick off the semester on a positive note, aiming to foster positive values, intelligence, good health, fitness, and practical skills.

During the Primary flag-raising ceremony this week we held a "Star of Summer Homework" award ceremony. These students not only completed their homework during the summer vacation but also showcased a high level of enthusiasm for learning and self-management skills. Their assignments were not only accurate but also filled with creativity. Through this kind of recognition, the school aims to inspire more students to maintain their enthusiasm and motivation for learning, even outside the classroom.

Character education is an important part of school education. During our first whole college assembly this semester, the Heads of School emphasised the importance of character education and set forth the character education goals for the first month. The school will cultivate students' sense of responsibility, civic-mindedness, and teamwork, helping them develop strong ethics and a sense of citizenship.

To enhance students' physical fitness and teamwork skills, a house dodgeball competition was held this week. This activity not only improves students' physical fitness but also nurtures their spirit of teamwork and adaptability. All the children enjoyed the challenge of competition immensely and may smiling faces could be seen throughout.

Art and practical skills are key parts of school learning. More art and craft classes will be added to the hands-on curriculum, giving students the chance to explore, enjoy, and make beautiful things. For instance, Grade 2 pupils linked art with learning about the human body to draw diagrams of body structures.

The bell marking the start of the new semester has already sounded. Let's approach this fresh beginning with enthusiasm and conviction, striving for growth across morality, intelligence, physical well-being, aesthetics, and practical skills. May each student reap knowledge, growth, and joy in the upcoming semester! Let's wholeheartedly embrace this new phase, aiming for progress in all aspects with unwavering enthusiasm and belief.
