Hong Kong Schools Speech Festival

Awards Home
Ying Wa Primary School has been actively joining speech and drama events since her re-launch in 2003. For English language learning, the Hong Kong Schools Speech Festival which is held yearly by the Hong Kong Schools Music and Speech Association from around Nov to Dec is the biggest external speech and drama contest to us and we have been encouraging our boys to take part in it and helping them to appreciate English through performances and listening to performances. Individual and group participants have been receiving better and better results in recent years. This section records our schools' results in the English section of the Speech Festival since the year 2006-2007.

You may also check our Videos section for some of the video-recorded pieces performed by our solo and group award-recipients.
