Academic school activities resemble a feast of knowledge, guiding pupils toward a broader horizon of wisdom. Whether through independent thinking, collaborating in groups, or absorbing the teachings from mentors, all paths lead to the enchanting destination of enlightenment. Solving each puzzle is akin to conquering a formidable challenge, with laughter and a sense of achievement rippling through pupils’ hearts, and their thinking and logic ascend to new heights. 

Spelling Bee (Chinese）

Chinese characters are the cornerstone of learning Chinese and the key to exploring Chinese culture. Using team-based quick response, this school activity aims to enhance pupils' character recognition skills and their ability to switch between Chinese and English. Each quick response session is not only a test of knowledge but also a refinement of courage and confidence. 

STEM Club

When everyday items like paper cups, pencils, and rubber bands enter the laboratory, how might they undergo a magical transformation? The STEM club bestows these ordinary items with a different scientific significance. Collaborating with peers, pupils create ball-launching devices, profoundly understanding the principles of projectile motion and explore the mysteries of angles and speeds. 

In this world full of inspiration, nimble hands and intelligent minds work together, where the beauty of art and the precision of technology complement each other, giving rise to limitless possibilities. Creative school activities are like a feast for the soul. Participants freely explore the mysteries of art, transform their imaination into reality, witnessing the wonderful convergence of imagination and beauty.

The music slowly starts playing, arms extend gracefully, and toes touch the floor gently. Each movement feels like a gentle song from the heart, with every action exuding elegance and resilient charm. The young dancers are like angels, moving freely, expressing determined confidence, radiating their unique brilliance, and composing an moving melody.

FOBISIA 'Track to Success' - A Civil Engineering Design Challenge

From macro street scene layouts to micro details like trees and benches, their design skills and aesthetic sense flourish in the combination of technology and art. 

In the vibrant campus, pupils support and cooperate with each other in community campus activities, like a harmonious piece of music. Community campus activities are like bridges, bridging loneliness and barriers, connecting hearts tightly, and gaining resonance and belonging through teamwork, and gaining growth and warmth. 

No bake baking

Nimble hands freely arrange fruits, confectionery and other materials, stringing together a unique warmth and beauty. In the quiet afternoon, pupils focus on creating exclusive desserts, integrating creativity into food, laughter resonating in the air. In tasting happiness and sharing knowledge, they also embody a pure and peaceful time.

Baking

In the baking school activity, pupils engage in a conversation with ingredients. Amidst the pancakes and sausages, they taste the joy of creation and the aroma of growth. This is not merely a school activity but a world of imagination, where every stirring and baking journey turns ordinary ingredients into miracles.  

Youthful steps accompany the rhythm of summer. Every drop of sweat reflects the light of dreams, and every smile tells the beautiful story of persistence. The shimmering lake surface in the afternoon mirrors the power of youth, and the agile figures on the ice rink manifest the charm of youth. There are no wins or failures, only unchanging vows and an undying passion. Sports is one of the most touching poems among school activities. 

Ice-skating

On the sparkling ice rink, pupils glide like joyful swallows across the surface, their radiant smiles reflected accordingly. Ice skate blades carve graceful traces as they pass, each mark filled with hope and each laugh bubbling with joy. Pupils not only build physical fitness but also gain precious friendships and unique memories in ice-skating training centre. 

Rowing

On the rippling waters of Xiang Lake, the rowing boats are like arrows racing forward, breaking the afternoon tranquillity. The rowers move in unison, their oars paddling through the water with the grace of feathers, creating beautiful arcs with their powerful strokes. The fusion of lake water and sweat bears witness to the harmony between humanity and nature, to the passion and fearlessness, and to the youth and courage.
