Challenge Week

Challenge Week 2025 has finished

It was an incredible week with 700 students outside Hong Kong and 1250 engaged in activities at KGV and across Hong Kong. We saw students challenging themselves to learn new skills, make new friends, work as a team, discover new cultures and engage in genuine service to others.

We are now working on CW 2026 and will have proposed activities for 2026 listed during February.

What is Challenge Week?

Learning and growing are about struggle and overcoming difficulties.  We want our students to persevere and do things when they are challenging. With Challenge week, we go further and ask students to ...

choose to do things because they are challenging.

Challenge Week is a crucial component of our curriculum. It provides students with an opportunity to learn through new experiences outside of the regular classroom. Our activities provide engagement with Creativity, Activity, and Service, offering opportunities for students to engage in experiential learning, form lasting memories, make new connections, and challenge themselves.

The choice, opportunities, and shared experiences make this a key opportunity to address our school vision: for students to find their passions, feel a sense of belonging, develop holistically, and maybe even take a step towards being their own remarkable selves.
