Fun Run

On 14th November 2014, we had our Fun Run in Tai Mei Tuk Plover Cove Reservoir Dam. The fun run is an activity to promote the development of healthy lifestyles of students. On that day all the staff and students joined the event actively. They could choose to join the fun run or challenging group. I enjoyed seeing the smiles on their faces throughout the run. I believe life is like a running journey. With perseverance and endurance, this will give us motivation to keep going. If we can break through the obstacles in our path, the bright future is waiting for us. If you do not have a practice of doing exercise, start it today!

Students Voice – Distance Fun Run

I am 6R Tommy Ng Tin Yu. It’s my honour to be the champion of Distance Fun Run 2014-2015. Fortitude and practice make success.

Have you ever faced difficulties? Of course everyone has faced difficulties, but the most important point is how we face them. Some of us just give up or even decide not to take up any challenges, but this is not for me.

When I was in form 3, the school organized the first Fun Run activity. Although I was not good at running at that time, I still joined the challenging group. I practiced and of course I faced some hard times. I told myself I should not give up and I wanted to try my best. After several practice, I got the 2nd runner up. I was happy because I accomplished my promise. Then, I gave myself a target every year – take the challenge and never give up. This year, I set a target: I am going to break the school record that I made last year. I practiced more and harder. Finally, I made it. So, never say you are the best, never stop taking the challenge. Push yourself, never give up and you can still surpass yourself.

Last but not the least, we must work hard towards our goal and to be our best.

Spanish Week... what a week!

It has been my first Spanish Week in LTPSS and everything has been so intense. We spent a lot of time preparing everything but it was worth it!

First of all, the reactions of all teaching and non-teaching staff: lots of them asking us and the students how greet each other or how to say thanks in Spanish. It seems a tiny gesture but for us and all the Spanish students meant A LOT. So thank you everybody!

The students prepared lots of decorations containing Spanish words or expressions with the help of the amazing Mr. Siu. It was nice to see the students so happy to post their words around. All the activities went smoothly, the Mexican Mariachis sounded really nice, the Spanish food was amazing (even better that my mum’s), the zumba engaged lots of students and teachers dancing like crazy and the Talent Show though it was the first year (and there is a lot to improve) had really nice performances of our students. This kind of intercultural activities are amazing for our students and for us, teachers. We are living in a multicultural city and we need to learn how to hybridize into proficient global citizens, and this week was an excellent example of how to walk this beautiful and rich path of culture-interaction.

Well in the 3rd Spanish week I went to the Mexican Mariachi band to hear their music, then I danced with the Latin music with the two girls from Brazil and Costa Rica, after that I ate the Spanish food in the Spanish Room. Lastly I performed my poem at the talent show. So the best activity is my performance in the talent show because that poem was first performed on 23rd February, 2014 and I was brave when I performed this poem. I really enjoyed the Spanish Week, because it commemorates the arrival of Christopher Columbus to America. I really like the Spanish culture and the Latin American cultures. .
