Activity is the lifeblood of education; 

innovation is the soul of activity. 

 

Golden October, radiant and bright, brings an exuberant celebration of campus life. October is bursting with a wonderful array of school activities, from academic enlightenment to athletic pursuits, from creative endeavours to community engagement. Everywhere you turn, youthful energy and joyful melodies abound. 

 

What is more memorable than the autumn scenery is the spirit of the quest for knowledge. Even more diverse than the fall colours are the endless creative ideas. More delightful than the autumn harvest is the warmth of the community, and more fervent than the autumn flavour is the passion for sports. Let us take a moment to relish the exciting moments of October together! 

 

Academic School Activity

 

Academic school activities not only serve to impart knowledge and resolve doubts but also act as a platform that inspires pupils to challenge themselves and relentlessly pursue their goals. The joy of overcoming each difficult problem and the rigour of every logical debate contribute to shaping their abilities to think independently and critically. Through the crucible of academia, they gradually discover their own interests and strengths, cementing the direction in which they will steadfastly advance. Whether embracing the profundity of science or exploring the vastness of the humanities, each choice reflects the ideals and ambitions deeply rooted in their hearts.

The ability to switch between English and Chinese freely and express oneself confidently in multiple languages is an essential skill for future global citizens.
