English Drama Team 2020-2021
[27 May] Today, with great pleasure I bring you the fantastic news that Ying Wa Primary School has received awards in 3 different categories for the play, “Rumpelstiltskin, Private Eye” by Jason Sanford in the Hong Kong School Drama Festival, held on 19th April, 2021. They are:

  • Award for Outstanding Performer  
           (Keith Cheung 4A, Angus Cheng 4B, Anson Lo 5A, Nicholas Tang 6C)
  • Award for Outstanding Audio-Visual Effects
  • Award for Outstanding Cooperation

​This was the first time ever that this event was held online owing to the COVID-19 pandemic.
         
Given the unprecedented and daunting circumstances, this was not an easy feat as it required a lot of “first time attempts” from all the members of our Senior Drama team, be it training, execution or management, since all of it was done online, in keeping with the current norms.
         
My sincerest gratitude to all the team members for their spirit and efforts in taking up this challenge head on and coming out with flying colours despite the constraints and difficulties. Congratulations to each and every one of you!

Mrs Abanty Paul

[13 May] Congratulations to Su Yue Sheng (Aden) 6E and So Yu Hang (Aldon) 3E for winning Champion and 1st Runner Up in their respective Public Speaking categories at the "21st Century Cup" Hong Kong Region Final.

This is a reputable and very high quality English public speaking contest initiated in Mainland China over 20 years ago. The Hong Kong Region has been a part of it since 2017. The contest involves 3 rounds and in the Finals, 6 judges score each finalist's speech with two follow-up questions to which competitors have to respond immediately.

This year, Aldon So 3E got through to the junior final while Aden Su and Jayden Tang made it to the senior final. The finals were held on 8 May 2021 (Sat) and the results were launched yesterday (12 May). We are more than thrilled to receive a Champion and a First Runner Up in the end!

Aden who won the Champion of the senior group is invited to represent Hong Kong in the National Finals which will be held in the coming July/August. He will compete with winners from 80 other regions in China.


An award ceremony for the results of the Hong Kong Region Final will be held in July. More updates will be available soon.
Meanwhile, let's take a look at Aden's initial submitted video for the first round with the speech title of "Harriet Tubman is the bravest person in my eye":

​Below is Aldon's initial submitted video for the first round with the speech title of "My Favourite Festival":
Congratulations to the two boys again!

​Dr H C Lee
