This year, the School Open Day was successfully held on 30th October 2010 with over 1,000 parents, students and guests participated in the event. Over 50 booths were designed and set up by students and teachers from various departments, ECA clubs and societies. The campus had lots of fun and excitement in which there were parents’ and students’ work display, experiments in the science laboratories, workshops and demonstrations on Home Economics, Arts and Multi-media Learning Centre, games and activities in classrooms, student performances and challenging international sports activities on the grass pitch and playground. In addition, two sessions of Form One Admission Briefings were organized for visitors and parents in the morning and afternoon respectively.

Treasurer of School Management Committee, Ms. Josephine Shen, PTA Executive Committee Member and Dr. Nick Miller, School Principal.

They were overwhelmed by the variety of extra-curricular activities offered by the school.
