“Decode” new spaces and new neighbors
Year 10 students were led to the classrooms of their form classes by their tutors, where their lockers locate as well. It is an important step for them to get used to the learning module of having lessons in different designated classrooms, which could also be considered a warm-up for their future university life.
Boarding students of all Year Groups returned in the late afternoon, preparing for another year of dormitory life. New students have made friends with their roommates and are all excited to start a new life together.
“I’m from Heilongjiang and I like fencing. What about you?”
In the morning of our first school day, there are no formal teaching and learning activities. However, please don’t take this in a wrong way.
Following a whole-school assembly, was a few ice-breaking activities designed by the Heads of Year and Form Tutors, helping students refresh their friendship with each other, as well as be acquaintance with teachers again.
Moreover, several team competitions for the Year 10 cohort were organised by the PE Department, with regular training equipment and materials such as basketballs and Yoga mats. New students have started to develop their team spirit and collaborative skills, while getting to know their classmates more and having fun.
We are all set for supporting our students in every expect in the course of the new academic year. Good luck to all!
