Debating Team receives their trophy from one of the adjudicators
[28 May] Congratulations to our Debating Team for another prestigious Champion trophy!

On 24 May, our Debating Team (Roderick Yuen 6A, Shaun Ng 6B, Ethan Ngai 6E) had their final match at the City University of Hong Kong for UNSDGs Debating Competition 2022/23 (UNESCO Hong Kong Association) against Maryknoll Convent School (Primary Section) with the motion "That homework is good for primary school students". Our side was the negative team and strongly argued that homework is bad for children!

It was indeed an entertaining but difficult match and the affirmative side had some great points and rebuttals. The judges agreed that it was very hard to make a final decision but in the end, they thought we were more solid and consistent and thus granted us the champion trophy! 

Great job boys and thanks to our debating coach Mr Ching!

5/19/2023

[19 May 2023] The long-awaited face-to-face version of Speech Gala finally returned yesterday after turning into video mode in the past 2 years!

Thanks to the great support from our boys, parents, English teachers and Principal Chan, brilliant finalists brightened up the show yesterday in the school hall. All performances were judged by our external adjudicator Mr Genper Wong (top DSE scorer in 2020) who also won in the Speech Gala when he was in YWPS! This is particularly meaningful for our boys to meet and be inspired by their big brother!

While we congratulate all our finalists, these winners earned their First Place Awards deservedly:
