Form 6 Speaking Tutorials

All Form 6 students complete speaking tutorials to help them prepare for their DSE examination and develop their overall speaking skills. Students complete both a group discussion and respond individually to a question from the teacher. Tutorials run from 7:50-8:05am and 8:20-8:35am. 

The timetable for the 7:50-8:05am practice for the 16 students in the mentoring scheme (and associated readings) is available here. For all other Form 6 students whose practice is at 8:20-8:35am, you can view your timetable and readings here. If you are a form 6 student and have any questions about your speaking tutorial then check with your English teacher.

 Form 5 Speaking Tutorials

Form 5 speaking tutorials usually begin in March and continue until the end of the school year. They follow the same format as the Form 6 tutorials. A link to the timetable will be posted when it is available.

 Recess and Lunchtime Activities

Every recess (10:20-10:45 am) and lunch time (1:00-1:30 pm) the English Room (R34) is open to students. Our friendly NET teacher, Mr. Webb, is there to answer your questions, put on a movie or help you choose one of the many games to play. If you want a quiet place to study and relax, then the English Room is a good choice. It's easy to find. Just go to the 3rd floor and look for the Sponge Bob door...

 NET Sharing

Every Friday morning assembly our NET teacher, Mr. Webb, talks to the school about a topic of interest. Often he is joined by students. It's a great opportunity to listen to everyday, real-world English and to practice your speaking skills. If you are interested in helping Mr.Webb do a sharing, then you can find him in the English Room (R34).

What is English Club?

English club is a fun way to pursue your passion, take up a new hobby and improve your English at the same time. Each year we have different clubs. So no matter what your interest, there's always something for you. Below are some examples of the club activities that we have run.

 Board Games with Mr. Webb (Monday lunchtime)

If you enjoy Scrabble, Monopoly, Chess or just beating your friends at a good game, then this is the club for you. There's always a new game to try and someone to help you understand how to play it. Let's see who is the champion.

 Film Appreciation with Miss Lau (Tuesday after school)

In this workshop students are exposed to a variety of genres, such as animation, drama, and comedy. They learn how to distinguish different features of a film and explore their preferences in a relaxing, supportive environment.

English Drama with Miss Zhu (Wednesday after school)

Through theatre games, students are encouraged to have fun while learning.  English drama class provides a chance for self-expression and team cooperation , strengthening their creativity, confidence, social and language skills. By exploring the world of drama, students can unleash their own potential and grow as a person.

 Happy Cafe with Ms. Hui and Miss Lok (Thursday after school)
