Students' Participation in Extra-curricular Activities

Our extra-curricular activities are designed to help students grow and develop academically, morally, aesthetically, physically, and socially. They provide leadership training, team-work experience and the development of communication skills, a sense of belonging, responsibility, and organizing ability.

We have 8 academic clubs, 20 interest groups, 8 service groups, 6 sports teams, a symphony orchestra, a Chinese orchestra and more than 20 instrumental classes. Apart from a good variety of activities organized by the academic and interest clubs, we encourage students to participate in inter-school activities and competitions to further increase their self-confidence, gain experience outside our school environment and strengthen their inter-personal skills.

Details of their achievements are listed under the section “Students’ Performance (Inter-school)” on this website.
