Congratulations to Edwin Chan (6B) receiving the Highly Commended Award at The Hong Kong Young Writers Awards 2017 today (22 march). Edwin entered the Fiction Group 2 of the competition with his story "The New Tale Of The Old City Of Shanghai", which fits the theme of the competition this year "New Tales of Old Shanghai".

The Hong Kong Young Writers Awards attracts a thousand quality competitors yearly from different schools across Hong Kong, Mainland China, and Macau, including reputable international schools. The competition is always very keen and that is why every award in this contest is highly regarded. And it is particularly interesting to know that Edwin is the only male awardee in his category this year! Who says that English is a girl subject? Boys are disadvantaged in learning English? Well, it doesn't happen in YWPS!

Edwin's awarded story is now published in the anthology of The Hong Kong Young Writers Awards 2017 and it will be available online soon. Once again, congratulations to Edwin and I hope our boys will continue to write beautiful English stories because it is a beautiful language for everyone in the world to learn and appreciate.

Edwin with the anthology!
Father and son!

Story Pilots: Law Ting Pong Secondary School × YWPS

Story Pilots shared reading (Photo courtesy - Law Ting Pong Secondary School)
PictureDr Lee presented souvenir to Principal Tam.
Another warm and joyous shared reading session was held in the English Room this afternoon (10 Mar) as Law Ting Pong Secondary School's Principal Ms Lancy Tam brought her staff and a team of wonderful storytellers to read intriguing English books to our English captains.

Our captains were divided into 4 small groups each led by a Law Ting Pong Story Pilot. Interactions were rigorous and one of the teams even finished 4 books in the short session (and they seemed not to have had enough)!

Story Pilots from Law Ting Pong came to us last year to show us how shared reading could be done. Since then, the English Department of YWPS has established our own team of pilots. We owe this meaningful activity to Law Ting Pong Secondary School. And today, we are even more thankful that these amazing secondary story pilots came again to share stories with our boys again! I just loved the reading environment we built together.

Thanks to Mrs Paul and Ms Jenny Ho for arranging English activities as meaningful as such for our boys. In the near future, we will surely see more sharing of our English Captains as Story Pilots.
