Life-wide Learning Experience

Fashion Show 2021

Fashion Show 2021 took place during the class period in the School Hall on 3rd December 2021. Form 5 students watched the presentations in the Hall, whereas Form 4 students stayed in their classrooms and watched a live broadcast.
 
The theme of the Fashion Show this year was Contrast.  Four groups of students presented their fashion designs in the show.  Each presentation included a video – depiction of the theme and walking down the catwalk by a student-model to present their innovative ideas on the concept. Form 4 and Form 5 students, as well as teachers, voted for the Best Model Award and the Champion Award. 5A Anny Chau and 5A Esther Chan were the awardees respectively.
 
Overall, the event was run smoothly and successfully. Both teachers and students found the event enjoyable and praised our student designers hard work and effort.
