BTEC Art & Design Printing Trip

Students on the BTEC Art & Design course have been exploring branding and graphic design, they have designed logos and products for a restaurant, inspired by Hong Kong culture. These logos were sent to Ditto Ditto, a printing press company, to be etched onto metal plates.  Students visited Ditto Ditto to use the printing press machine to print their logo onto stationary.  It was a fun and educational learning experience!

Year 12 Robotics Club & Year 8 Global Thinking

Year 12 Robotics Club students came into a few Year 8 Global Thinking lessons to help them build a robotic arm.  The Year 8 students are currently working on a unit about inventions and were given a problem-solving challenge to building a robotic arm. The Year 12 students learned how to build the arm in their own time, met during break times to share their learning, and then came to the Year 8 lessons to troubleshoot. 

The Year 8 students worked in groups of three to explore the robotics kits,  tested ideas, and followed complex instructions.

Native Tree Planting on Lantau Island

A group of Year 12 students volunteered to work with Mr. Melsom planting native trees on the hillside above Mui Wo on Lantau Island on 4th June. Our students have been visiting this site regularly for many years and some of the trees are now quite mature. Another group of students is headed out this Friday to further assist. Mr. Melsom is a Horticulturalist who runs Eagle Owl on the island.
