The English Department is thrilled to share that three of our students have won the Outstanding Student Award from i-Learner! Congratulations to Lee Hiu Ching Hilda (2N), Lam Lam Kau (4L), and Fang Chin Wai (4L) for their remarkable achievement.  

The platform requires junior form users to complete various reading exercises, while senior form users focus on DSE-related questions to earn scores. As a result, students dedicate significant extra time to improving their English skills.

Yesterday, they attended the prize presentation ceremony, where they received well-deserved recognition for their hard work and dedication.  

Here are their messages of gratitude:  

"I am truly honored to receive the Outstanding Student Award at DSE i-Learner. I believe this platform has provided me with valuable opportunities to improve my English outside of regular classes. I couldn’t have achieved this without the encouragement of my teachers and my own persistence. This award is a recognition of my past efforts, and I hope to continue improving in the future."   by Fang Chin Wai, 4L  

"I was genuinely surprised and delighted to receive this award. I believe that if I continue to work hard and improve, I can feel proud of my efforts, regardless of the outcome. This experience has motivated me even more to strive for excellence."  By Lam Lam Kau, 4L  

Let’s continue to encourage and inspire our students to achieve great things.

Thank you, Miss Alice Wu, for running the programme.

The three-day Pre-S1 Induction Programme (Phase 1) was successfully completed. During the programme, students learned essential classroom instructions and daily routines in English, experiencing a brain-based learning approach. They were also introduced to using iPads for English learning. Additionally, some students took part in a guided tour of the school campus, where they explored key facilities while practicing English.

We were excited to invite Dovetales to our school for an interactive drama show "Joseph and His Dreamcoat".

This drama show not only brought us laughter and joy, but also encouraged deeper reflections on the importance of persistence in pursuing dreams, facing challenges, and embracing forgiveness.

Students enjoyed the show so much. During the show, they used English to ask questions and share their insights into the plot. Some students and teachers even had the opportunity to be part of the performance!

Our student, 5N Fiona, participated in the Inter-school Storytelling and Public Speaking Contest 2025, delivering a compelling speech centered on two Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)—"No Poverty" and "Zero Hunger." Although she did not secure a top placement, the experience was incredibly valuable, helping her build confidence and gain insights into how other students prepared for such competitions. With this newfound knowledge, Fiona is determined to perform even better in future opportunities. 

As a member of the Lasallian family, DLSSSNT enjoys one privilege that other schools normally do not have - support from the Brothers. The school has been planning to have more collaboration with the Brothers before COVID, but the pandemic postponed the plan until last year. 

This year, we are honoured to have Brother Dennis providing our students with some interesting English activities. Some students are picked from their original English groups and they have the opportunity to talk to him in English! Brother Dennis also brings the students to the new chapel and celebrates the Birthday of the Month with the students who were born in the same month. 

To carry on St. La Salle's mission, the Brothers care about the education of the children a lot.  We appreciate that we have the Brothers.

The English Club recently organised an exciting S4-S5 Speaking Practice Activity designed to enhance students' English communication skills. Through engaging and interactive exercises, participants had the opportunity to improve their fluency, confidence, and teamwork.

The activity was a great success, providing a fun and meaningful platform for students to sharpen their language skills while connecting with peers.

We look forward to organising more activities like this and encouraging even more students to join us!

Every Wednesday is our school’s English Day. This Wednesday, English Department held a very engaging activity to promote positive education. Students were invited to explore inspiring quotes displayed in the corridor outside the staff room. Those who completed a worksheet could exchange the worksheet with a gift during lunchtime. We were thrilled to see over 60 students participate, with many going above and beyond by completing three sets of worksheets! This event not only encouraged reflection and discussion about English, but also promoted a culture of positivity and growth.

A group of 4L students were taking part in an English guided tour of Tai Kwun on May 21. Exploring it as an interdisciplinary place of engagement, where students were encouraged to utilise their knowledge in English and integrate it into an immersive experience at this highly significant historical and cultural site in Hong Kong. Check out the photos here!

This morning we visited Tai Kwun, a historical site in Hong Kong, blends heritage with modernity. Once a prison and police station, its restored colonial architecture showcases brick walls and iron gates. I learned a lot of history about this place and learned about the lives of the prisoners who were once in this prison.This is such an amazing and unforgettable experience.

This morning, we visited Tai Kwun. As an ancient building with rich historical and cultural heritage, it has been preserved through conservation and revitalization, allowing us to relive that period of history. Moreover, the docent explained everything in great detail. It was truly an unforgettable experience.

The interhouse spelling bee competition held on Wednesday, 19 March 2025, at the Ground Hall was a lively and engaging event that brought students together in a spirit of friendly competition and learning. Around 70 participants from various forms took to the stage to showcase their spelling skills. They were tested on vocabulary related to the themes of pandas and Chinese culture. With teachers and classmates cheering them on, a supportive and enthusiastic environment was created.

This year, all S1 and S2 students were encouraged to participate in the Read Out Loud competition. They were required to select from a variety of texts provided by the organizer and showcase their reading skills in a single audio recording. Students showed high interest and signed up to participate. Ten students stood out and were awarded certificates for their impressive performances. Notably, one student has been shortlisted for the semi-final round. Best of luck to her!

The Pizza Express program encouraged students to explore a wider vocabulary and communication opportunities through hands-on experience in making pizza. Students could follow the tutor's instructions, express their interest in pizza-making, and actively participate in the discussion sessions. Even students facing various challenges showed their enthusiasm by asking questions and observing their peers. We are pleased to see students with different levels of English proficiency supporting and learning from one another. We highly recommend that more students can discover their interests and find motivation for learning English through engaging hands-on activities in the future. Check out their photos here.

The annual English handwriting competition was held in December and we finally had the winners. It took the teachers a long time to make up their decision of who the winners should be as the submitted pieces were all excellent. We look forward to having good pieces in future.

Here are the winners:

Students who joined the study tour to Singapore have finally done their presentation, sharing their experience of the trip. It involved students across different forms. Let's listen to their sharing!

DLSSSNT held another coffee serving event. This time, the EEPT invited the Home Economic club to make some delicious tidbits - oreo cheesecake for students to nibble with coffee! Once again, there was a long queue outside the ground hall and it took both lunch break and after-school time to finish all the servings. Check out the photos here.
