Just when Cambridge Junior Programme 2016 ended two months ago, the 2017 version has started recruiting participants! 

This morning in our iLab, we were very happy to see our graduates Lachlan Lai and Tom Kwok, who joined the programme last summer, returning to our school for a heartfelt English sharing to over 100 people in the audience. Whether it was Lachlan's knowledge on green energy or Tom's anecdote on nighttime pot-noodles party, their presentation showed genuineness and sincerity on what really touched them during their 2-week study in Cambridge. And that was what particularly moved our teaching staff.

Organizer and founder of the programme Mrs Clarke brought with her the director of studies Mr Green (from the Perse School, Cambridge) to explain further the programme structure and features, followed by a vigorous Q & A session showing a great deal of interest from parents concerning the study tour. 

While it is still too early estimating how many P.6 students will be joining the Cambridge Junior Programme this summer, the briefing session itself had offered a very fruitful and informative morning to all of us. 

I hope most of our boys are ready to take the challenge and fly to England for this learning programme next summer. Are you ready?

Glad every time to have the chance to share our fun-filled experience of teaching and learning English with our local colleagues. Tai Koo Primary School's English teaching team paid a visit to our department today (7 Oct), involving their English Panel Head, Vice Principal and Principal. 

They came to the English Room to attend a sharing session held by me after observing a P.6 lesson conducted by Mr Dennis Tam. Our guests were amazed by our children's standard of English and were interested in the various challenging activities we had been doing, such as our speech & drama schemes and thematic learning.

I am particularly happy to have the opportunity to share with them our FLAME magazine, showcasing our boys' very colourful learning adventures. 

I wish more and more visitors can come to YWPS so that our great learning atmosphere could be spread to many other schools as well. I sincerely thanked for their visit and am sure this is just the first of many this year.
