1 SSGC Annual School Report 2004-2005
1 School Vision and Mission St. Stephen’s Girls’ College is a Christian school that belongs to Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui (Anglican Church). It strives for excellence in teaching and learning, in its leadership and policies, and in its activities and community life as a whole. St. Stephen’s Girls’ College endeavours to emphasize the education of the ‘whole person’, including the development of body, mind and spirit, paying attention not only to the five aspects of moral, intellectual, physical, social, aesthetic development but also adding a sixth aspect, the spiritual dimension. We seek to help students to become responsible citizens of Hong Kong and of the wider world community. Academic excellence, good conduct, integrity in relationships, respect and concern for others, and an awareness of the world and the environment, are all seen as essential elements of a holistic education. Through corporate worship, work and recreation, the school aspires ‘to serve and not to be served’, rendering service to God and the community, faithfully translating our motto ‘In Faith Go Forward’ from words into action.

2 Our School Endowed with a rich legacy of fine traditions and a unique culture, St. Stephen’s Girls’ College continues to strive for excellence in providing an all-round education that caters to life-wide learning and whole person development. Founded by the Church Missionary Society in 1906, St. Stephen’s has played an integral part in Hong Kong’s education system. It moved from its earliest site on Caine Road to Babington Path, and then to the present site on Lyttelton Road in 1924. Being a Grant School as well as an EMI school, it has been in the forefront of education reforms, spearheading pioneering projects and undertaking innovative programmes in pursuit of quality teaching and learning. Inspired by the Christian spirit, the school is committed to moulding generations of students into all-rounded and aspiring individuals, capable not only of critical but creative thinking. Through corporate worship, work and recreation, the school seeks to educate students not only to value themselves but also have compassion for others, working for the betterment of the wider community. Indeed, St. Stephen’s and its graduates have had a profound impact on Hong Kong society. 2.1 Sponsoring Body Since 1962, St. Stephen’s Girls’ College has been managed by the St. Stephen’s Girls’ College Council. The Council is composed of fourteen members in total. These include the Principal, the Vicar of St. Stephen’s Church, four nominees from Sheng Kung Hui (SKH), one representative from St. John’s College, one parent, one alumni representative and five independent members. Teachers are represented at Council meetings with the attendance of both Assistant Principals. 2.2 Christian Education In St. Stephen’s Girls’ College, the Christian spirit is embodied in its educational philosophy, curriculum, teacher-student relations, worship, work and recreation. Religious Education is part of the curriculum for all classes. There are regular morning assemblies which include prayers, hymns, Bible readings, sermons and talks. Various modes of presentation are used with teachers, students, the School Chaplain and guest speakers taking part. There are also a number of optional religious activities including Chapel service,

Bible study and group discussion, a Christian Fellowship and monthly Holy Communion in accordance with the practice of Sheng Kung Hui. All members of staff and students are welcome to join and share in the religious life of the school. 2.3 Brief History of St. Stephen’s Girls’ College 1906 St. Stephen's Girls' College (SSGC) was founded by the Church
Missionary Society of the Anglican Church of England with the support of Sir Kai, Ho Kai and Dr. Tso Sin Wan. The school aimed at propagating the Christian faith and providing quality education for girls. The earlier Principals and teachers were missionaries.
Miss W. Carden was the first Principal. Miss W.I. Griffin was the second Principal. 1918 The school moved to Babington Path after the destruction of the original
school site in Caine Road by an earthquake. 1922 Miss E. Middleton-Smith was appointed the third Principal.
The Foundation Stone of the Main Building on Lyttelton Road was laid by HRH the Prince of Wales (later to become King Edward VIII).

3.3 Support 3.3.1 Career Guidance 2004-2005 has been another fruitful yet challenging year for the students and members of the Careers Team. Under the guidance and supervision of the Careers Mistress and four careers teachers, our students visited a bank and an airline, attended talks and interviews, took part in careers conferences, and a summer work experience programme. Students also completed a number of careers quizzes, and various careers exercises designed to help them plan for their careers and future studies.
Visits
A visit to Hang Seng Bank was organized in November 2004 and a visit to Cathay City was organized in March 2005 for Form 5 students.
Talks and Interviews
A total of thirty-eight past students from the eight tertiary institutions in Hong Kong came back to their alma mater to share their experiences of university life and their courses with the Form 6 students in 2004-2005. Interviews with Form
9 SSGC Annual School Report 2004-2005
5 and Form 7 students were carried out between October 2004 and March 2005 to advise them on JUPAS choices and further studies.
Careers Conferences
Three conferences were held during the year. The Form 3 Careers Conference was held on 20th April, 2005. Students were given information on subject choices and further studies. Aptitude tests were also carried out to help students make a decision on their choice of subjects. The Form 4 Careers Conference was held on 21st January, 2005. Distinguished past students were invited to give talks on journalism, mass communications, interior design, hotel management and medicine. The Form 5 Careers Conference was held on 8th August, 2005 to familiarize students with procedures for sixth form admission, subject choices, career paths and further studies.
Summer Work Experiences
CHAU Yuk-yee of Form 5B and LUK Lai-fun of Form 7A were selected to join the Summer Work Experience Scheme organized by the Careers Masters and Guidance Masters Association in July and August 2005.
3.3.2 Student Guidance
The Student Guidance Team gave advice and counselling to students on matters concerning studies, behaviour, stress and personal problems. The team of seven teachers adopted the ‘whole school approach’ in implementing guidance activities. The involvement of all teachers, the Parent Teacher Association and as many individual parents as possible helped enhance the team’s work which aimed at bringing up our students in a positive, healthy and happy environment. Besides helping students, the Team also organized sessions on ‘Student Guidance’ for teachers and an induction programme for new teachers. Peer counselling was also encouraged in the ‘Big Sister Scheme’ in which senior students in Form 6 assisted those in junior forms in their studies and adjustment to secondary school life. The orientation for new students and their parents in August, before the beginning of the new school year, gave them a thorough understanding of the school's policies and practices and ensured that channels for communication between home and school were open. Life Education Seminars
Life Education seminars were held for all classes of different age groups. A
10 SSGC Annual School Report 2004-2005
weekly ‘Form Teacher Period’ was allocated to every class for running life-skill programmes with the aim of facilitating personal development, social adaptation and adjustment in school. A Form One Programme was conducted to help students adjust to and cope with secondary school life. A Sixth Form Programme was specially designed to help students develop their study skills, social skills and ability to choose their courses for university studies. Several special assemblies were also arranged to enable guest speakers to deliver talks to the whole school.
School Social Work Service
The Hong Kong Family Welfare Society has been offering its service to St. Stephen’s Girls’ College through its School Social Work service for over 25 years. The school social worker helped devise preventive and developmental programmes for both students and parents. She was stationed in our school regularly - on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. In addition, an educational psychologist from Sheng Kung Hui Educational Psychology Services paid us regular visits. Her main responsibility was in providing direct psycho-educational services to our students, consultation for parents and staff, and support for school-based surveys.
3.3.3 Scholarships and Bursaries Thanks to generous donations from parents, past students and friends in the past, St. Stephen’s was able to set up a considerable number of scholarships and bursaries to award students who excel academically or those who need financial assistance. In 2004-2005, over 200 students benefited from this sizable funding. 3.3.4 Parent Teacher Association
Through the Parent-Teacher Association, founded in 1951, St. Stephen's Girls' College seeks to foster closer co-operation and better communications between parents and teachers. All parents are automatically members and the small annual subscription is voluntary. The Association holds an Annual General Meeting and other occasional meetings, as well as regular Parents' Days and Parents' Evening.
In 2004-2005, the Annual General Meeting was held on 19th November 2004, which included a talk on Emotional Management by Dr. Eugenie LEUNG, Clinical Psychologist of Castle Peak Hospital. On 18th March 2005, a Brain Gym workshop
11 SSGC Annual School Report 2004-2005
was held. Two classes of 40 participants each, led separately by Mr. Conrad HO and Ms. Amy CHOI, were conducted. On 30th April 2005, a special talk on How to enhance the Self-management Ability of Our Children, delivered by Ms. LAW Nai-huen of Family Heartware, was arranged at the Medical School of the University of Hong Kong. All participants had an enjoyable afternoon, especially during the tea break interval, when parents and the guest speaker had a very cordial chat together.
In response to the SSPA & MOI Working Group consultation, a special meeting was held on 27th May, 2005. Dr. POON Yuk-kang, Assistant Professor of Hong Kong Baptist University, was invited to give a talk on the consultation paper and its related issues. More than 400 parents and teachers attended. Prof. Raymond LIANG, our current president, thanked parents for their generous response and opinions. Apart from these special workshops and conferences, the school also held its orientation day for Form 1 and all the other new students in August 2004. A Form 1 Parents’ Evening was held on 5th November 2004, and a Form 3 Parents’ Evening on subject choices was held on 13th May, 2005. The PTA also decided to once again subsidize the drama performance of Twelfth Night by the Form 4 English Literature class in July 2005. When they first performed last year, the drama was so successful that the Education and Manpower Bureau recommended a second performance. 3.3.5 Alumnae Association
St. Stephen's Girls' College Alumnae Association (SSGCAA) was founded in 1926. It plays a very important role in carrying on the traditions of the school and in promoting close links between ‘St. Stephenies’ and their Alma Mater. It makes valuable financial and other contributions to the school.
In the last academic year, the SSGCAA continued to support the school by generously donating scholarships to assist students in need.

4.3 School-based Staff Development Our teachers participated in different in-service refresher courses, workshops and seminars on subjects related to their teaching. We congratulate Miss Josephine LI Fung-yee for receiving a Postgraduate Diploma in Education from the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Miss LAI Mun-yu for receiving a Master of Education from the Open University of Hong Kong and Miss CHAN Sze-yan for receiving a Master of Education from the Chinese University of Hong Kong this year. A series of activities were organized to upgrade teachers’ professionalism. In October, 2004, Miss Florence Chan, a Senior Training Consultant of the Equal Opportunities Commission, spoke on equal opportunities in the field of education. She highlighted the importance of an open-minded and flexible approach to meet the different needs of students. Mr. Y.K. CHONG, a lawyer, gave a talk on “School Laws”. He explained what constitutes a breach of duty and negligence from a legal point of view. Teachers were advised on how they could act and fulfill their responsibilities in a reasonable and prudent way. In a workshop on ‘St. Stephen’s Spirit’, teachers gathered together to discuss what the St. Stephen’s spirit means from academic, spiritual, cultural and social dimensions. In December 2004, a staff seminar was organized to prepare our teachers for the new 3+3+4 academic structure and curriculum reform. Dr. CHAN Ka-ki, Principal Assistant Secretary (Curriculum Development) of the Education and Manpower Bureau, and Professor CHENG Kai-ming, Senior Advisor to the Vice-Chancellor and Chair Professor of Education at the University of Hong Kong, were invited to speak on the changes in our senior secondary education. Dr. Chan explained the learning goals of the new curriculum and the implementation of these reforms. Professor Cheng pointed out the need to make possible multiple learning experiences, remove narrow specializations and develop basic and generic capacities in students. Teachers then formed groups to make proposals on timetabling in the new SS1-3 curriculum. In April 2005, teachers visited two schools which are known for their innovative teaching methods. In Fanling Kau Yan College they had the chance to observe lessons and tour around the school. Teachers were impressed by their FACE (‘Fit, Autonomous, Critical dialogue, and Excellent’) education system. In HKCCCU Logos Academy, Mr. Paul YAU Yat-heem, the Principal of the Academy, introduced us to their school system. He explained their innovative 3+5+3 system which helped
14 SSGC Annual School Report 2004-2005
to realize the potential of a young child at an early stage.
15 SSGC Annual School Report 2004-2005
5 Our Teaching and Learning 5.1 Curriculum 5.1.1 English At the request of the Education and Manpower Bureau, the English Department staged a reprise of a disco version of William Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night on 2nd July, 2005.
English teachers continued with their English Language Enhancement Programme which included the introduction of poetry, short stories, radio drama and drama in Forms 1-3 and Form 6 respectively. The department also organized a wide variety of activities and programmes to provide support for students and to enrich the language culture of our school. These included After School Conversational English Classes with Native Speakers, Remedial English Classes, After School Creative English Writing Classes, a Script Writing Workshop, a F.6 School-Based Intensive English Course, an Extra Writing Scheme, the Scholastic Book Club, Joint School Oral Practice, Essay Writing Contests, Book Exhibitions, as well as a Summer Bridging Program for English. The Department also encouraged students to take part in programmes that exposed them to the use of authentic English outside the classroom. These programmes included Boxing Shakespeare – Storytelling School Tour, Teen Time Open Space, Chatteris Educational Foundation Office Programme 2004-2005, and the South China Morning Post Young Reporters Programme 2004-2005. In addition, students actively took part in various open competitions such as story writing contests, a translation competition, a penmanship competition, Stanford University EPGY Academic Talent Search and the Longman Inter-school English Language Arts Competition 2005 and obtained very pleasing results. 5.1.2 Chinese The Chinese Department produced a series of campus TV programs entitled More Reading, More Happiness to promote extensive reading as well as enable students to appreciate the pleasure of reading. The Department’s web page was renewed in the last academic year to incorporate language and cultural themes as the basis of the main page. It was reorganized into six main areas: New Information, Reading Carnival, Writing Corner, Self-learning
16 SSGC Annual School Report 2004-2005
Corner, Ways and Means to Learn Language and Teachers’ Tips. The web page assists both teachers and students in teaching and learning the language, develops students’ self-learning skills and facilitates exchanges of opinion among them. The Department plans to integrate its web page, students’ self-learning web pages and teaching files to build a more effective and systematic teaching platform and resource management system. Creative Writing Workshops, Thematic Literary Creation Workshops and outdoor writing activities were organized to develop students’ interest in literary creation and the use of their imagination in writing. Different seminars and workshops were held to teach students various speaking and debating skills. Supported by the school, the Department jointly worked with the Hong Kong Academy of Performing Arts to run a series of creative drama workshops which included Drama lessons, Script Writing and Drama Appreciation. Students learned how to observe and reflect on their daily life and explore sources of materials for script writing. They showed greater awareness of the relationship between writing and their daily lives and explored the frontiers of learning. Speaking Putonghua was a student exchange program jointly organized by the Department with students in mainland China to provide more opportunities for Form 6 students to use Putonghua. Students from different universities in China acted as tutors to share with our students their life and learning experiences. 5.1.3 Mathematics Mathematics Enhancement classes were held for Form 1 students in both the first and the second terms. The classes were funded by the Capacity Enhancement Grant. The Mid-year and Final Examinations demonstrated that most of the students had made remarkable progress after joining these classes. Students participated in various activities. These included the Hong Kong Mathematics Olympiad 2004-2005, the International Mathematical Olympiad 2005 Hong Kong Preliminary Selection Contest, the 2004 School Statistics Project Competition, Stanford University EPGY Academic Talent Search 2005 in the Mathematics category and HKU Mathematics Talk Points and Lines.
In the First National Hua Luo-geng Mathematics Competition for Hong Kong, a Form
17 SSGC Annual School Report 2004-2005
1 student, Lee Wing Hei, was one of the top 30 students in the heat event. After joining a training programme, she participated in the final event of the competition. 5.1.4 Chinese History Project learning in the Chinese History Department yielded a fruitful year. Each Form 1 student wrote a letter to a historical figure while students in Forms 2 and 3 submitted a group report or designed book marks after their educational visits organized by the Department. The various products of students’ learning culminated in an exhibition held in the Kwok Siu Lau Hall in June 2005.
In 2003, the Department started to set up web pages both for teachers’ and students’ reference and the enhancement of students’ self-learning skills. The official web page of the Chinese History Department was constantly updated and renewed throughout the last academic year, with particular focus on the junior secondary curriculum.
5.1.5 History
Students learned effectively in the classroom through participating in activities such as role-play, simulation, group discussion, and presentation. Visits organized either within the formal school timetable or as extra-curricular activities were effective in helping students to acquire a better knowledge and understanding of history.
Form 6 students participated in Continuity and Change: My Most Favourite Historical Picture organized by the Chinese University of Hong Kong on 14th May, 2005. The group on Anti-Semitism was chosen to represent the school to participate in a presentation in the Chinese University of Hong Kong. The performance was well received. 5.1.6 Liberal Studies In order to cope with the proposed senior secondary Liberal Studies curriculum, and to recruit new members for the department, lesson observations were arranged in the second term to familiarize teachers interested in the subject with the new curriculum. One lesson on ‘Dating’ and two lessons on the ‘Basic Law’ were arranged for this purpose. The overall response was very good.
18 SSGC Annual School Report 2004-2005
5.1.7 Biology
The teachers in the Biology Department continued to prepare lessons and produce teaching materials collaboratively that catered for the needs of our students. Various learning activities were implemented this year to improve students’ quality and mode of learning. The new syllabus, A Healthy Living, was successfully implemented this year in Form 3. The GAME design project and peanut-planting competition in Form 3; the scientific investigation, snap-shots and video production in Form 4, and the issue-based learning activities in Form 6 all provided opportunities for students to learn actively and independently. These activities improved students’ skills and power of observation, investigation, analysis as well as the ability to apply knowledge in realistic situations. They also developed higher creativity and better team spirits. Various educational visits and field trips were organized for Form 3 to Form 6 students. A visit to a biotechnology laboratory was organized to allow students to learn more about the work in a forensic laboratory. A Form 6 student, Cheng Ching-shui, was nominated to participate in Support Measures for the Exceptionally Gifted Students Scheme Science Enhancement Programme 2005 organized by the Education and Manpower Bureau. Two Form 5 students were nominated to participate in a case-based learning workshop organized by the Chinese University of Hong Kong. 5.1.8 Integrated Science Nature of Science and Application of Science were the main themes this year. Students were provided with more support and opportunities to learn about the world around them. Besides traditional experiments, scientific investigations, passage reading exercises, discussions and presentations, a lot of new learning experiences such as creative writing and drawing were conducted. The results were encouraging: both teachers and students learned a lot and enjoyed the course. The use of various assessment methods helped to make learning more meaningful. Different aspects of learning could also be assessed. 5.1.9 Physics Exciting learning experiences such as model making, food-energy investigations, motion capturing and analyzing projects, as well as data logging experiments and
19 SSGC Annual School Report 2004-2005
visits were arranged. Students improved their knowledge of Physics, and developed skills such as self-learning, critical thinking, problem-solving, communication and investigation through the activities. A recent addition to the Form 4 programme was a visit to Ocean Park which demonstrated the applications of Physics in our daily lives. Students worked hard to collect and analyze data and, as a consequence, developed greater interest in the subject. As the use of IT is one of the characteristics of the Department, on-line learning materials were prepared to enable students to learn at their own pace at home.
5.1.10 Principles of Accounts
In the 2004-05 academic year, thirty Form Four students obtained twenty five distinctions in the LCCI Book-keeping Level I examination, which meant a distinction rate of 83.3%. One student, LI Wai-sum, was awarded Second place in the examination among about 50,000 candidates throughout the world. 5.1.11 Art Apart from continuously showcasing students’ creative and outstanding artwork in our virtual art gallery via the intranet, students also gained a sense of achievement from their commendable results obtained in the Hong Kong Certificate of Education Examination, various inter-school art competitions and events such as the LEAD project (Leading through Engineering, Art and Design Pilot Project). This project was jointly organized by the Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups, MIT Media Laboratory and the Chinese University of Hong Kong, and sponsored by the Innovation and Technology Fund of the HKSAR. The project aimed at encouraging young people to explore the world of design and invention through imagination, realization, experimentation, feedback and evaluation. The project was finally presented in a showcase held at the Cyber Port on 28th May, 2005. Our performance was highly commended by the keynote speaker during the LEAD seminar.
5.2 Christian Education
The teaching of Christian religious education maintained a careful balance between the emphasis on critical thinking and spiritual devotion. As usual, students were encouraged to think and to participate actively in the various religious services. The main theme for morning assemblies this year was Dare to commit and be ready to
20 SSGC Annual School Report 2004-2005
help; be concerned for the well being of our community and work creatively for a bright future of humankind. Our School Chaplain, the Rev. Peter CHENG, preached regularly on Wednesday mornings. Apart from Rev. Mrs. Jenny NAM, Rev. Ian LAM of SKH Ming Hua Theological College, Rev. Eddie K. MA of Shaukiwan Baptist Church, Rev. YIU Kin-wai of Kau Yan Church, and Rev. WONG Kin-wah of St. Stephen’s Church were also invited to speak in the assemblies. The breadth and balance of Christian education in the school can be reflected by the wide scope of themes and topics covered last year. Outside Speakers

Services The annual Harvest Thanksgiving Service was held in November. This year during the Advent season, we used a new candle stand for the lighting of Advent Candles. All students joyfully celebrated Christmas in the J.C. Hall. Ms. LEUNG Kwai-sheung of North Point Alliance Church was invited to preach in the Christmas Service. A special service in memory of the victims of the Earthquake and Tsunami in South Asia was held in January 2006. In March, we held the Veneration of the Cross Service, in which Rev. Peter Douglas KOON of St. Stephen’s Church was invited to speak. The Easter Service was held again in St. John’s Cathedral this year, with Mr. TAI Tak-ching of SKH Li Fook Hing Secondary School as our speaker. Five Chapel Services and five Holy Communion Services were arranged. Form 1 students joined in at least one of these Communion Services.
Other Religious Education Activities
The Christian Fellowship met regularly on Thursday in the School Chapel. Ten representatives from the Fellowship joined the Education Sunday Worship Service in St. Stephen’s Church. The Christian Fellowship also helped organize the Religious Education Week in December, which this year included a Christian drama performance in assembly, a gospel meeting held after school with the Rev. Paul NG Chun-chi as speaker, and a hymn sharing meeting held during lunch break. Students also eagerly helped out in the annual Charity functions of the Michaelmas Fair at St. John’s Cathedral. Students and parents compassionately responded to the appeal of Echo, the official publication of the Anglican Church, for donations to help the tsunami victims. All of these activities deepened our students’ spiritual experiences in Christian education.
5.3 Civic Education In 2004-2005, several activities were organized jointly by the Committee for the Promotion of Civic Education and the Civic Education Society. The objectives were to raise students’ interest in current affairs, and to help develop positive civic values and attitudes amongst students as well as to foster a greater sense of belonging to their community. Students all agreed that participation in these activities had not only widened their scope of knowledge, but had also provided them with opportunities for authentic experiences from which a much better understanding of their community could be acquired.
23 SSGC Annual School Report 2004-2005
Current Issues Throughout the year, there were newspaper cuttings on major current issues posted on the Society’s notice board to help enhance students’ social awareness. In January 2005, there was a special board display on the ‘Tsunami’ to enable students to better understand the causes and the many implications of the disaster.
Teacher’s Card Design Competition
To advocate a respectful attitude among students, a ‘Teacher’s Card’ Design Competition was held in December 2004. Two outstanding designs selected by the judges were printed and presented to all teachers as a token of thanks on ‘Teachers’ Day’.
Visits
Visits to the Legislative Council and Correctional Services Museum were organized to help broaden students’ knowledge regarding the ‘rule of law’ and the legislative mechanism of the HKSAR.
Debates
As a joint activity with the English Debating Club, several rounds of debates on current issues of public concern were conducted for all Form 2 students. The outstanding performance of all the teams was commendable.
5.4 Information Technology St. Stephen’s Girls’ College was selected by the Government in April 1998 as one of the pilot schools for information technology development. Since then, the school has built up an IT infrastructure, with state-of-the-art equipment installed in every classroom, staff rooms, and special rooms. There are also two Computer rooms and a Multi-media room, plus a school website, to facilitate better teaching and learning. In 2004-2005, St. Stephen’s continued to explore ways to enhance teaching and learning using information technology. Last year, the college applied for a QEF for enhancement of IT infrastructure. Together with the grant from the Education and Manpower Bureau, some of the obsolete computer facilities were replaced which included fourteen desktop computers. Six LCD/DLP projectors with wireless functions were installed. Some parts of the college, including the Kwok Siu Lau Hall, Audio Visual rooms, Jockey Club Hall and Library were provided with wireless connections. New software and functions on the intranet were also introduced.
24 SSGC Annual School Report 2004-2005
These enabled teachers, parents and students to use the Intranet more readily. Online quizzes, testing and discussion enhanced better understanding and learning. Improvement in IT Facilities in school
This year various equipment and servers were added and updated:
• The Linux server was upgraded to REDHAT Enterprise Version 4.0 • The ECLASS was upgraded to V4.0 • Two modules POWERCONCEPT and READING ROOM were added • The LINUX proxy server was upgraded for filtering and better service.
This provided the staff and students with a fast connection to the Internet with adequate security
• All the teachers’ obsolete notebooks were replaced by the new model IBM CENTRINO mobile laptop with 512MB RAM
• Four new UPS systems were installed to ensure the stability of the network • The SSGC domain is now in a more stable Windows 2003 environment • New projectors, with an intensity of 2500 ANSI lumens, were installed in six
classrooms Teacher Training
Some IT training courses for teachers were carried out during the academic year. New teacher induction courses were carried out for the five new Computer Literacy teachers last summer.
Student Training
Besides the formal training in the school curriculum, additional training for intranet, network, flash, email, news group and word processing for Form 6 students was conducted. The school was an authorized site for training Windows server, Golive, Photo Elements and Visual Basic. Many students were trained in these areas. Students were also encouraged to join WebPage design competitions and courseware development competitions. An IT week was organized to arouse the interest of all students in the school. A team of Form 2 students took part in the LEAD (Leading through Engineering Art and Design) Pilot Project in May. The project is a computer controlled mechanical ‘Harbour Shooter’.
Use of IT in School Administration
With the existing IT infrastructure and resources, intensive use of IT in school administration was made possible to enhance efficiency and bring about greater
25 SSGC Annual School Report 2004-2005
convenience to both teachers and students. In addition to the functions offered by SAMS (a School Administration and Management System provided by the Education and Manpower Bureau), a web-based extranet system was developed to provide the following customized functions:
• Retrieval of name lists for classes and subject divisions • Retrieval of timetables for teachers, classes and rooms • Retrieval of academic records of students • Selection of classes and subjects in Form 4 and Form 6 • Enrollment in extra-curricular activities and recording of voluntary services • Enrollment in competitions such as the Swimming Gala and Sports Day • Computerization of discipline records
5.5 School Library The Library has continued to increase and upgrade its collection to suit the needs of the teachers and students, with a view to providing suitable reference materials for the future 3+3+4 educational system. There was also a significant increase in non-print materials, e.g. CD-ROMs and VCDs, for teaching and learning. Last year, a new system of conducting Form 1 Reading Lessons was implemented. Every week, each Form 1 class came into the Library for one lesson, accompanied by their teacher, to select a book to read. The students were encouraged to develop a greater interest in reading in the congenial atmosphere of the Library. Next year, this system will be extended to Form 2 and Form 3 students as well. 5.6 Other Learning Experiences 5.6.1 Educational Visits Form Date Subject Place

5.6.3 Sixth Form Programme The Sixth Form Programme provided Form 6 students with activities that help to develop their study skills, social skills and ability to choose their courses for tertiary education. The weekly sessions lasted from September to April and each took about an hour. In the 2004-2005 academic year, the programme included an orientation session at the beginning of term, a 3-session workshop on Lead to Live Your Sixth Form Life led by Mr. Henry CHAN, a training consultant, and a talk on ICAC given by the ICAC training staff. Sessions on Interview Techniques and Webpage Design were delivered by teachers. There were also workshops on Knowing Ourselves led by Mr. CHEUNG Cheung-ho from the Boys and Girls’ Club’s Association. Life Education seminars were organized by the Student Guidance Team and talks on different courses offered by local universities were also given by our careers teachers. Our sixth form students received plenty of support for JUPAS (The Joint University Programmes Admissions System). One of the highlights of the Sixth Form programme was a 3-day education camp organized by both teachers and students. From the camp, the students learnt a lot of such skills as communication, organization and leadership. It was an unforgettable and enjoyable event for all Sixth Formers, too. 5.6.4 Student Exchange Programme
A student exchange programme took place in the 2004-2005 academic year. In April 2005, eight boys from the Sixth Form of Diocesan Boys’ School and ten of our girls exchanged schools. The programme aimed to widen the horizons of participating students by allowing them to study in a different school environment.
29 SSGC Annual School Report 2004-2005
5.6.5 English Language Summer Study Tour Twenty five Forms 1-3 students under the supervision of Mrs. L.L.Chan, Mrs. V. Chan and Ms. W.Y. Mak went on an English Language Summer Study Tour to Bromley, United Kingdom from 15 July – 1 August 2005. The tour aims at personal and language development through fun activities and excursions as well as a home-stay programme. It also fosters inter-cultural experience. 5.6.6 Sister Schools In supporting the Education and Manpower Bureau’s initiative to establish partnership among schools in Hong Kong and the Mainland to enrich learning experiences, St. Stephen’s officially announced its linkage with High School Attached to the Capital Normal University in September 2004. By becoming sister schools to one another, academic and cultural exchanges between teachers and students in the two places help to broaden each other’s horizon and promote friendship. On 28 March 2005, led by Mrs. M. Chan, Assistant Principal, Mr. K.S. Chow, Head of Chinese History Department, and Mrs. Y.C. Yau, Head of Chinese Department, sixteen students paid a visit to High School Attached to the Capital Normal University in Beijing. They were treated to a tea party and offered the chance to observe lessons, which deepened their understanding of the learning style of their Chinese counterparts. They also participated in the weekly flag-raising ceremony which greatly impressed them. The visit has achieved its purpose of promoting closer ties between sister schools. 5.7 Use of the Capacity Enhancement Grant (CEG)
Starting from the 2000-2001 school year, the school receives a CEG from the Education and Manpower Bureau every year to help relieve teachers’ workload so that they will have ‘enhanced capacity to concentrate on the critical tasks in the education reform.’
In 2004-2005, St. Stephen’s received a total of $416,604. Together with the surplus carried forward from the previous year, it allocated about 45% of the grant to curriculum development, 20% to raising students’ language proficiency and 35% to coping with diverse student needs.
30 SSGC Annual School Report 2004-2005
A greater share of the money was spent on hiring a technician and a teaching assistant to assist teachers in producing multimedia teaching materials. A small sum was used to organize a Life Skills training programme which included talks and workshops on leadership, decision-making, inter-personal and communication skills. A further percentage was allocated to assist the development of the Chinese Language Curriculum such as running drama, speech and creative writing courses. The remainder was spent on art workshops and computer animation and 3D graphic courses.
Students’ language proficiency was raised through hiring outside markers for additional writing tasks, while low ability Sixth Formers were given extra help through the Form 6 Intensive English Course. The school also sponsored the United Kingdom English Language Study Tour which was a home-stay cultural and language immersion programme.
To cope with diverse student needs, the school arranged after-school Chinese, English and Mathematics remedial classes for less able students. At the same time, it sponsored dance development through hiring instructors for demonstration.

6 Major Concerns (Achievements and Reflection) Academic Enhancement, Personal Development and Social Development have been the three major concerns of the college since 2003. St. Stephen’s strives to reach new heights in the provision of quality education through cross-curricular project learning and participation in the Improving the Quality of Education for All project. It hopes to enhance students’ personal development through integrated activities that develop self-esteem and self-awareness. It also aims at enhancing students’ social development through participation in extra-curricular activities. 6.1 Academic Enhancement Striving to reach new heights in the provision of quality education through cross-curricular project learning and ‘Improving the Quality of Education for All’ project 6.1.1 Cross-curricular Project Learning Achievements A ‘Cross-curricular Project Learning’ was introduced in Forms 1 and 2 with the History of St. Stephen’s Girls’ College and Glove Puppet Show as the respective chosen themes in 2004-2005. Students worked in teams and engaged in the process of collecting information from different channels to acquire the skills of information processing. From the project logs kept by the students, it was found that through analyzing and consolidating findings in the forms of written reports, video or oral presentations, models or web-page designs which culminated in an exhibition and a performance at the end of the academic year, junior students succeeded in achieving the goal of ‘learning to learn’. The high quality projects that were produced demonstrated clearly that students were able to construct and connect knowledge, skills, values and attitudes through the rich and authentic learning experiences of examining the history of their school or writing and producing a creative puppet show. The high acclaim from the professional adjudicator, Mr. Simon Wong from Ming Ri Institute for Arts Education, on the Form 2 Glove Puppet Show was evident that students had learned such generic skills as reading, IT, collaboration, creativity, critical thinking, numeracy, problem-solving and self-management. Reflection The Form 1 project enabled students to better recognize the value of SSGC in the
32 SSGC Annual School Report 2004-2005
Hong Kong community, both as a high-achieving educational institution as well as a cultural and historical monument. Form 2 students had the invaluable opportunity to appreciate the aesthetic value of making their own puppets and creating artistic stage backdrops. In addition, students’ potential and competency essential for life-wide learning were enhanced through collaborating with their peers and teachers as both projects involved the joint efforts of different subject departments working together to solve any problems that arose. 6.1.2 ‘Improving the Quality of Education for All’ (IQEA) Project Achievements The second year of the college’s project on Improving the Quality of Education for All (IQEA) included organizing staff development sessions and arranging mutual observation of classroom practices. As a result of these exchanges of experiences, staff broadened their repertoire in classroom teaching to make lessons appropriate for all students, which raised students’ confidence in using available resources and knowing where and whom to turn to when they needed helped. Students also understood the importance of perseverance in the face of challenges and demonstrated a commitment to their work in hand. In April 2005, the school joined another phase of the IQEA project. The new School Improvement Group (SIG), that is a ‘representative of different perspectives within the school community, including senior management, middle management and classroom based staff’, identified the new focus areas to work on. After much investigation and consultation, the working group proposed the setting up of a Universal Reading Time in the following academic year with a view to promoting a reading culture in school and encouraging students to read extensively. It was hoped that through developing a regular reading habit, students would enhance the quality of their learning. Reflection The sharing of teaching experiences opened up new opportunities for cross-curriculum integration which dominates the forefront of education reforms in the territory. However, a heavy workload and busy teaching schedules often rendered in-depth discussion among teachers difficult. It is hoped that more clerical support could be given to enable teachers to share one another teaching ideas. Proposing a Universal Reading Time to cultivate a good reading habit in students
33 SSGC Annual School Report 2004-2005
fulfils the following IQEA principles:
• Embracing all members of the school community as both learners and contributors
• Creating conditions which encourage collaboration and lead to the empowerment of individuals and groups
• Promoting the view that enquiry, and the monitoring and evaluation of quality are responsibilities which all members of staff share

6.3 Social Development 6.3.1 Campus Broadcasting Programme : Using TV media to broaden horizons
(language and social exposure) and facilitate teamwork
Campus Broadcasting Programme
St. Stephen's was among the first batch of schools receiving a grant from the Quality Education Fund in establishing a Campus TV station. The Campus Broadcasting Studio, completed in the Summer 2001, was equipped with a video mixing suite, three sets of professional non-linear editing suites and other audio-visual equipment. It was officially opened on 20th April 2002 by Mr. Michael Choy, Chairman of the School Council on the school's 95th Anniversary Open Day. Since its opening, the studio has been used for recording teaching and training materials, student programmes and other media initiatives.
Achievements 2004-2005 was a productive and prolific year for the Campus TV Committee. Four production teams were formed with a total of eleven Executive Committee Members. Of the sixty seven members, 85% of them were involved in at least two productions. Joined with the ECA Board of the Students’ Association, over ten video clips were recorded, which involved an array of extra-curricular activities: Sports Day, Speech Day, Teachers’ week, Music Festival, Music Composer Interview, Social Service News, Sixth Form Camp, End of Term Ceremony, Students’ Association (SA) Day and the Courtesy Campaign Promotion. The Committee achieved its goal of assisting teachers and students in producing videos for classroom purposes. It assisted the Chinese Department in producing a series of campus TV programmes entitled More Reading, More Happiness to promote extensive reading. In addition, it recorded the assembly presentations of the Archives Club which was in preparation for the school’s Centenary Celebrations. It succeeded in using TV as a medium to expose students to the use of English and Putonghua outside classrooms through regular productions. According to a survey conducted by the Committee at the end of the school year, 76% of students found the English programmes easy to understand. It was pleasing to find that 60% of students use English more readily in their daily lives through viewing the programmes. The Committee helped the Music Department in producing certain special effects in the Schools Creative Music Showcase as well as offering assistance to the English
38 SSGC Annual School Report 2004-2005
Department in video recording three drama performances as entries to the Longman Inter-school English Language Arts Competition 2005. The objective of having at least 60% of the programmes broadcast in English or Putonghua as the language medium, was fully achieved. The Committee went a long way towards accomplishing the goal of training students in video production. Almost 60% of members attended two training courses organized in January, February and August. Encouraging and affirmative feedback was received from the Committee members who claimed that they learned how to produce better quality video clips from experience and their video production skills improved through hard work and practice. They also commented that joining the team had helped them to improve their interpersonal and problem solving skills. Most importantly, they found the learning experiences enjoyable and satisfying, which offered a pleasant diversion from their heavy exam-centred classroom work. The proposed plan of using Campus TV to promote social services is integrated in section ‘8.3 Participation in extra-curricular activities.’ (P.54) Reflection Despite the multitude of accomplished goals, the Committee finds that there is room for improvement in the following two areas:
• number of video segments produced • participation of students in training courses
The Committee initially proposed to produce fifty student produced segments in the last academic year but only sixteen segments had been completed and about ten video clips were not processed. The making of the Two minutes Weekly ECA Activities and Weekly News Broadcast was in progress. The Committee planned to produce two episodes about ‘Public Affairs’ in the coming year. The reasons for this were complex and diverse. Firstly, the team needed more human resources in the production process and training of skilled members. The present manpower was found to be inadequate to carry out all the intended tasks as the supervision and advisory work was enormous. Secondly, insufficient monitoring by teachers and student leaders last year accounted either for the delay or cancellation of production work. Finally, school holidays hampered work progress as it was difficult to allocate work to everyone during long vacations.
39 SSGC Annual School Report 2004-2005
The number of students attending training courses also fell short of our target as a number of members could not afford to spend a lengthy period of time attending training courses which lasted for at least four continuous sessions. In the Annual School Plan 2005-2006, the Committee will take greater note of the importance of promotion and publicity so that more students are better informed of the show time of TV programmes, as well as schedule of video production training courses, to maximize resources. At the same time, it will propose increasing manpower to assist in monitoring and supervising students’ production progress. 6.3.2 Striving to continue the good traditions of SSGC to develop ourselves
spiritually, personally, physically and socially to serve God, our school, our community and our world
St. Stephen’s Spirit Programme Achievements To accomplish the above goal, the St. Stephen’s Spirit Working Group was set up in June 2004. It held several successful meetings to discuss the unique qualities of the St. Stephen’s spirit among members and set objectives and work schedules. It organized small discussion groups for all staff on Staff Development Day in October 2004 to gather more opinions on ‘What is the St. Stephen’s Spirit?’ A similar activity was held among student leaders – at the Prefects’ Conference - which yielded fruitful and rewarding findings. Through collecting and gathering other students’ ideas from the Forms 1-7 Special Form Period in November 2004, the Working Group proceeded to analyze the data in December 2005 for future development. The Working Group initiated a series of Assembly talks focusing on this chosen theme. Veteran religious figures connected to our sponsoring body as well as faithful alumni were invited to talk to the whole school on the history of St. Stephen’s or reminisce about their days in SSGC. The details of the talks are as follows:
Date Guest Speaker Topic
Sept 2004 Mrs. A. Yuen My Days in SSGC
Mar 2005 Rev. I. Lam CMS and SSGC
Mar 2005 Rev. K.W. Wong St. Stephen’s Church & SSGC
Apr 2005 Miss E. Liang My Contribution to Community through Art
May 2005 Miss Y.C. Hung My Days in SSGC
40 SSGC Annual School Report 2004-2005
Such assembly talks on the early days of SSGC have given students precious knowledge and information on the work of missionaries in the last century in founding and shaping the educational goals of the school. Alumni sharing of their school days brought home to current students a sense of warmth and belonging to the St. Stephen’s big family. They have all invariably helped to foster the St. Stephen’s Spirit. To strengthen students’ sense of belonging and enkindle in them the spirit of comradeship, the Working Group arranged to have the Archives Club presenting a series of slide shows outlining the life of SSGC during the Second World War and introducing ‘Eminent figures in our School’s History’. The following table shows the details of the presentations:
Date Topic
Dec 2004 The Time of the Japanese Occupation
Apr 2005 ‘Eminent Figures in our School’s History’ Part I : Kwok Siu Lau
Apr 2005 ‘Eminent Figures in our School’s History’ Part II : Ho Tung
The Working Group also formed a sub-committee on Reading Scheme in March 2005 to encourage students to read extensively to enrich their knowledge about their school. This sub-committee later on was re-structured into the IQEA SIG group which proposed the launching of a Universal Reading Time in 2005-2006. In brief, the enquiry approach adopted by the St. Stephen’s Spirit Working Group has acted as an impetus to initiate positive changes to the school in the long run. Two activities entitled Centenary Celebrations Logo Design Competition and Centenary Celebrations T-shirt Design were organized in April and June 2005 respectively. In designing a logo or T-shirt in celebration of the 100th Anniversary of their mother school, students worked in unison towards achieving a common goal. The Courtesy Campaign launched in April 2005 is an expression of the common goal of the Student Association and the St. Stephen’s Spirit Working Group to promote courtesy in the school campus. Through watching a video presentation at Assembly on courteous behaviour, an Inter-class Poster Design Competition on Courtesy as well as Quotable Quotes posted up around the school campus, students learned the importance of continuing the good traditions of SSGC through treating one another politely. It also encouraged a happier and more harmonious learning environment.
41 SSGC Annual School Report 2004-2005
Another delightful learning outcome of the work of the St. Stephen’s Spirit Working Group was the Form 1 Cross-curricular Project. The following are topics that students could freely choose to study closely:
• History of SSGC • Our School Buildings • Christianity in SSGC • Learning English in SSGC • Our School Garden • Our Tuck Shop • The People in SSGC • Extra-curricular Activities in SSGC
Close examination of the history of SSGC deepened students’ understanding of their mother school and helped them to better recognize the significant contribution of this college to the education of girls in Hong Kong. The diverse goals of using subject related activities to promote the awareness of teachers and students of the St. Stephen’s Spirit and to reflect, identify, uphold and promote it were accomplished by the various activities conducted by the Chinese Department in 2004-2005. The details of their programmes are shown below:
Date Form Topic
Feb – April 2005 5 • Slogan design • Essay writing
July – Sept 2005 4, 6 • Interview with past teachers & alumni • Writing : fond memories of SSGC using old

Reflection On the dawn of the 100th Anniversary of St. Stephen’s Girls’ College, mobilizing all staff and students to reflect upon ‘What the St. Stephen’s Spirit is’ combined the
42 SSGC Annual School Report 2004-2005
strength of everyone to promote and upkeep the traditional values upheld by the school. This helps to shape the direction of the school’s future development which is meaningful and far reaching.
• Small group discussions on the St. Stephen’s Spirit reached a clear consensus on the characteristics of St. Stephen’s which can be summarized as follows:
• Academically: Put equal emphasis on Chinese and English language education; Aim for academic excellence
• Culturally : Encourage students to develop their potential according to individual interests and abilities; Take an active part in social services
• Socially : Build a harmonious learning environment; Build close ties with other schools and organizations
• Spiritual ly : Cultivate a religious environment; Offer religious freedom to students
• The setting up of a sub-committee on the Reading Scheme facilitated the strategic promotion of extensive reading as well as its implementation in the new term. This consolidated the tradition of the school in promoting both Chinese and English language education.
• Arranging Assembly talks on the history of the school and life in the old SSGC days enabled all members of the school to see the need for preserving and continuing the fine traditions of the college. Such an arrangement should be continued so that students learn about the uniqueness of their mother school through the sharing of successful alumni.
• Knowledge of the past helps both teachers and students to review the bygone days and envisage the future. The Archive Club should continue its theme-based presentations on the history of St. Stephen’s.
• Organizing activities to celebrate in the Centenary Celebrations enhanced students’ sense of belonging to their school and provided a means for them to express their imagination and creativity. Activities of similar kind such as a photography competition, aimed at using images to capture the picturesque side of the school, should be considered.
43 SSGC Annual School Report 2004-2005
• The Courtesy Campaign succeeded in raising the level of students’ respect for their teachers. School Prefects will take a leading part in setting role models.
• The Form 1 Cross-curricular Project helped students to closely examine the history of SSGC, which deepened their understanding of their mother school and helped them to better recognize the significant contribution of this college to the education of girls in Hong Kong.
• The range of activities organized by the Chinese Department allowed students of varying interests and abilities to express their thoughts and feelings about their school. For example, interviewing past students assists them in capturing the good moments in the past which attests to the goal of unifying all students, past and present, in upholding the good traditions of St. Stephen’s.

8.3 Participation in extra-curricular activities
8.3.1 Sports To enhance our sporting culture, both our Physical Education Department as well as the Sports and Recreation Association tried their best to promote sports to every student. A series of sporting activities were organized throughout the year. They were the Swimming Gala, Sports Day, Mass PE, Sports Talents, Inter-class Sports Competitions (volleyball, table-tennis, basketball), Sports Talk
53 SSGC Annual School Report 2004-2005
and a Martial Arts Workshop. Our school was also invited to serve as a cheering team for the world famous volleyball teams (China, Italy, Dominican Republic) in the FIVB World Grand Prix held in the Hong Kong Coliseum in July 2005. These were great opportunities for our students to explore their sporting potential at different levels. It is hoped that their unswerving sporting spirit will encourage our students to maintain an active and healthy lifestyle.
8.3.2 Prefects’ Council and Students’ Association
The Students’ Association and the Prefects’ Council have played an important role in the school life of St. Stephen’s. They endeavour to add new initiatives to existing services. The five Boards, namely the Tidiness Board, the Students’ Co-operation Board, the Student Welfare Board, the Communication Board and the Extra-Curricular Activities Board act as the executive arms of the Standing Committee. Apart from the services provided by the five Boards, the Students’ Association also organized various activities for the whole school to promote fellowship among students.

8.3.3 Club Activities
There were a total of thirty one clubs and societies under four categories namely: Publication, Academic, Cultural and Services. Student leaders were elected to take up leading roles to serve their members. Under the guidance of the teacher co-ordinators and advisors of the clubs, student leaders put together a diverse range of activities for their members throughout the year. The participation rate was high. It is hoped that students can widen their horizons and experience through organizing and/or participating in these activities.
54 SSGC Annual School Report 2004-2005
8.3.4 Community Service
One of the school’s traditions is in service to the community. Every student was encouraged to participate in at least one service during the year. This year, seven senior students received the Gold Service Certificate (for serving more than two hundred services hours) from the Volunteer Movement Award Scheme. In addition, the service groups completed more than fifty services with the co-operation of other schools as well as with community centers. Not only did student leaders enhance their leadership and organization skills, but all participants raised their awareness of the needy in our community and in the world.
For the first time ever, the Social Service Group of St. Stephen’s Girls’ College undertook voluntary work outside Hong Kong, to Mainland China. On 20th February 2005, about 20 students took a trip to Guangzhou for a day of games and fun with the orphans in the Guangzhou Children Welfare Home, accompanied by Rev. J. Nam, Mrs. L. Yim, Miss W.W. Sin, Miss L.C. Lo, and Mrs. V. Chan.
8.3.5 Environmental Protection Activities
In order to arouse students’ awareness of the importance of environmental protection, our school has continued to join the Environmental Protection Ambassador Scheme in which training and activities were held throughout the term. To show their concern for environmental issues, a group of enthusiastic students joined the No freezing Classroom Design Competition organized by the Chinese University of Hong Kong and won the Merit Prize for their creative design. In addition, LO Hoi-ki from Form 3 was also selected as one of the four Hong Kong student representatives joining the Voyage to the Future 2005 organized by the Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Union. She visited Sabah to learn about the global environment with students from seven countries and regions in Asia.
8.3.6 Leadership Training
It is also our major concern to develop and enhance the leadership abilities, sense of citizenship and social responsibility of the students. Form 6 students took part in a Sixth Form programme and Sixth Form Camp. There were also
55 SSGC Annual School Report 2004-2005
leadership training programs for junior form students. Several leadership training workshops were held for students by some external agencies throughout the year. Students were encouraged to use the knowledge they had gained from their workshops to manage or run their class and club affairs.
8.3.7 Dance
Dance has long been a tradition of our school. Our Dance Team performed well in the 41st Dance Festival in which they obtained two highly commended awards in the Modern Dance category. In order to promote dance among students, a multitude of dance programmes were offered throughout the year. The Inter-class Dance Competition was successfully held in April by the Dance Club and Sports and Recreation Association. Moreover, thirty Form 3 and Form 4 students joined the School Modern Dance Animateur Scheme 2004-2005 Wanna Dance! Workshop 2004-2005 which was co-organized by the Leisure & Cultural Services Department and the City Contemporary Dance Company. Their Finale Performance Dancing in the Sun 2005 – Teens of Colours’ was successfully held in the Shatin Town Hall on 22nd July. It was indeed an unforgettable stage experience for the students who participated in it. Besides, two social dance courses were also organized for senior students. After completing the courses, thirteen students obtained the Bronze Level Certificates.
8.3.8 Drama
Drama plays an important role in developing students’ imagination and creativity. It also provides greater opportunities for students to use English for purposeful communication outside the classroom. Our Drama Team participated in the Hong Kong Inter-school Drama Festival, in which we were awarded Outstanding Team and Andrea YU Sze-yin, the main actress, was awarded Outstanding Actress.
8.3.9 Debates
The Debating Team participated successfully in the Joint School Debates as well as in the Inter-school Debating Competition. The Chinese Debating Team came Second in the 台上法言 – 中學生辯論比賽. In addition, the Model United
Nations Team was highly commended for their participation in the Hong Kong Model United Nations held at the West Island School in March 2005. To
56 SSGC Annual School Report 2004-2005
enhance the debating skills among students, Inter-Class Debate Competitions were regularly held.
8.4 Physical Development Mass Physical Education Mass Physical Education was jointly promoted by the Physical Education Department as well as the Student Guidance Team. It aims at arousing students’ awareness of the importance of a healthy body. Students of different classes contributed ideas on how to blend physical workout with music and a very impressive mass P.E. was held on the annual Sports Day which exhibited a strong sense of unity and harmony among students.
