Reading Promotion Committee (RPC)

  • Book Swap
    • Students donate books they have read and in return, they can redeem other titles. In this way, they are giving their old favourite books a new lease of life as well as acquiring new reading materials.

    • Several titles are selected in each phase by Chinese, English, Mathematics and General Studies teachers. Students are asked to read them and to participate in a competition to test their knowledge of the recommended books.

Certificates will be issued to the top three students of each class who can meet the requirements and borrow the largest number of books from our school library. 
  • Newspaper, Magazine and Book Orders

Extended Learning Activities

 

There are different kinds of extended learning activities (ELAs) which include services, physical education activities, cultural activities and other activities.

 

ELAs cater for students’ needs;

  • To further develop students’ cooperation and communication skills. 
  • To further develop students’ self-esteem, self-confidence and sense of responsibility.
  • To further enhance students’ leadership and self-learning ability.
  • To further raise students’ awareness of environmental and global issues.
