Organised by the Schools Sports Federation of Hong Kong, China (HKSSF), the Laurel School Award recognises schools that demonstrate outstanding all-round performance in inter-school sports competitions.
 

This year, we achieved Fourth Place in the Girls’ Schools Category of the Laurel Silver School Award, a testament to the dedication, teamwork, and perseverance of our student athletes and coaches.

We are also delighted to celebrate the achievements of three outstanding athletes:
 

• Leanne Tse (Swimming Team) – Laurel Rising Star Award (B Grade)

Organised by Ocean Park Corporation, the Jockey Club Marine Plastic Challenge Education Programme – The 2nd Marine Plastic Innovation Challenge concluded with an Award Presentation Ceremony and Carnival held at HarbourChill, Wan Chai, on 11 July 2026.
 

The competition encourages students to apply their STEAM knowledge and skills to develop innovative, practical, and sustainable solutions to address the growing issue of marine plastic pollution.
 

A team from our school, comprising Angela Leung (2B) and Hayley Pang (2B), was selected as one of the top 5 finalists, earning high recognition in the competition. Their proposal, "真相偵查隊", highlighted the limitations of existing technologies in addressing marine plastic pollution. Recognising that technological solutions alone cannot fully resolve the issue, the team transformed their proposal into an educational learning package. This project aims to tackle marine pollution at its source by promoting greater environmental awareness and encouraging responsible daily actions.

The team also shared their learning journey and project outcomes during a whole school assembly.
 

Hearties congratulations to Valerie Chiu (F.4) and Phoebe Pun (F.5)!
 

Valerie Chiu (F.4) – Winner of Student of the Year Award in the category of “Sustainability Advocate”
 

Phoebe Pun (F.5) - shortlisted as Top 12 in the category of “Scientist and Mathematician”
 

We are pleased to witness their talent and hard work being rewarded. May their accomplishments reach greater heights in the future!

　　「中國中學生作文大賽」是一項全國性、高規格的青少年文學盛事，旨在透過文字創作弘揚中華文化，提升中學生的文學素養、思想境界與表達能力。大賽每年吸引全國數百萬中學生踴躍參與，經過嚴謹的評審，最終選出各個獎項的得主。
 

　　本校中二丙班彭啟玲同學憑藉出色的文學造詣與深刻的生命感悟，在香港賽區九萬一千多名參賽者中脫穎而出，榮獲「中國中學生作文大賽（香港賽區）銀獎」以及「全國三等獎」，成績優異。
 

　　彭同學的得獎作品名為《生命的樂章》。文章別出心裁地以音樂樂章為結構，將個人的成長歷程巧妙地轉化為高低起伏的旋律。在「第一樂章：行板」中，她以細膩溫柔的筆觸描繪了外婆在灶火前忙碌的背影，鋪設出生命中溫暖平和的C大調底色；在「第二樂章：急板」中，她坦誠地面對青春期的焦慮與迷惘，展現了在不和諧的雜音中尋找內心真實聲音的過程；而在「第三樂章：如歌的慢板」中，她記錄了中二下學期數學競賽失利時，老師溫馨的關懷與點撥，讓她領悟到生命中的挫折與停留，不過是曲式中的「轉調」與「休止符」，同樣具有深遠的意義。文章結構嚴謹、用詞精緻、情感真摯且富有哲理，充分展現出她對成長的深刻思考與積極的生命韌性。
