Class Roles – Students’ Sharing
CHAN Jui-Jung (G4A)
“This year, we have been introduced to class leaders. Everybody can volunteer to be a class leader. A class leader assists the teacher and helps the class to improve. In my class, there are 7 class leaders each term. Their names, roles and job descriptions are displayed at the back of the classroom. In term one, I was the English Resource Manager. I was in charge of checking if everyone handed in their homework on time. I also helped my English teacher, Ms. Nie, hand out and collect resources. I am very proud to be a class leader in Term One. I feel contented to have contributed in helping my teacher and my classmates.”

G3M YU An Qi 余安琪

G5O SHEN Rita Ashley 沈希璠
“我很高兴能被选为班级的环境大使，这个学段我会负责维护班级的环境整洁，这让我更加有了责任感，我会提醒其他同学一起保持教室的干净整洁。”
Multimedia Training in ICT
Students in Grades 2 through 6 have started a range of lessons centered around multimedia. This includes developing an understanding of the principles behind disciplines like video, audio stories, and digital books and using productivity tools to develop online newspapers and articles. Some of the skills they develop are photography, basic sound engineering, script writing and storyboard writing as well as how to structure an interview. This is a wonderful opportunity or our primary learners to showcase their creativity.
