Welcome to WONG SHIU CHI SECONDARY SCHOOL website

The Environmental Education Creative Competition, organized by the Graphics Arts Association of Hong Kong, aimed to promote environmental protection through a series of design competitions. This year our Visual Arts panel dispatched students to participate in the competition and achieved good results. Lau Kin Keung of S. 7B was awarded the Champion in the public section of the Model Design Competition. He made an sophisticated model of the Tsim Sha Tsui Clock Tower. The surface of the tower was made of used compact discs, paper boxes and collision-proof wrapping materials. The clocks installed on the 4 sides of the tower were in good function. Lighting device was also installed in the interior. On the other hand, Wu Hin Yan of S. 5E was awarded the first runner-up in the senior secondary school section of the Digital Poster Design Competition. She was inspired by the concept of green school and designed the poster in order to promote the concept of the 4Rs (Recycle, Reuse, Reduce, Replace) of environmental protection. The Award Presentation Ceremony was held on 14 January 2012 at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University with Ms. Anissa Wong Sean-yee, JP, the Director of Environmental Protection, as the Guest of Honour.

第一屆大埔區學界辯論比賽冠軍 (Chinese version only)

中文辯論隊早前參加了由大埔青年協會主辦的第一屆大埔區學界辯論比賽，經過連場比賽後，我校中文辯論隊成功勇奪第一屆大埔區學界辯論比賽冠軍，這亦是我校中文辯論隊成立一年以來的第一個冠軍。同時，4B班梁美珊同學於初賽中獲得最佳辯論員獎，4E班林曼雲同學則於決賽中獲得了最佳辯論員獎。

中文辯論課程的同學和中文辯論學會的會員，亦有前往觀看賽事，既為中文辯論隊打氣，亦可汲取辯論經驗。觀賞緊張刺激的比賽，令同學獲益良多，以下是部分同學的觀後感。

辯論比賽後感

2A　范卓欣

　　星期六那天看完辯論比賽，發現觀眾也可以吸收很多知識。另外，辯論選手也需要有良好的臨場反應，還有強勁有力的聲線和清晰的咬字。這也是我需要繼續努力學習的。

　　我方選手準備的資料十分充足，而且界題也不片面，亦有利我方。比賽時，隊員們沉著應戰，自信冷靜。觀賞比賽後，令我明白到說話的語氣，充足的例子，有助增強論點的說服力。

　　總括而言，看完這次比賽，令我明白到辯論比賽中每位選手都要有足夠的自信心，才可以流暢地闡述自己的立場，震懾對手。

2A　蕭曉汶

　　十一月九日，我去了梁省德小學觀看一場頓精彩的辯論比賽，我校為正方。

　　首先，我想簡短地講述一下參加辯論班的原因和對辯論的看法。起初，我認為辯論是一場富有針對，或攻擊性的口舌之爭。但因為一股莫名的吸引力，帶我走進訓練班當中。

　　但今次的觀戰經歷，令我獲益不少。第一，預備一定要充足。我常常認為預備充足，遇到突發問題，也能應付得來。雖然這只是逢一必知的道理。我不知道雙方的預備時間有多少，但他們付出的努力是不能預計的。

　　第二，自信。從踏進比賽場地那一刻，就必定要抱著自信與冷靜的心態，給人一個具自信的印象，是一種應有的風度。

　　第三，語速。要調節好時間，因為時間有限。太快可能咬字不清，讓人摸不著頭腦；但太慢卻不夠時間述說觀點。當日的兩隊都做得不錯，能盡量運用時間。

　　第四，應準確的針對題目，若果偏離了題目的意思，即使說話有多流暢，那只是徒然的。當天的兩隊搜集了很多資料，全部皆對己方有利，非常厲害。

　　希望未來會有更多機會再觀戰，增加更多知識，得到更多的啟發！

3B　陳凱榆

　　這次觀看辯論比賽後實在獲益良多，使我覺得辯論非常刺激。

　　這次比賽後我發現自信是極為重要的，而我校的主辯及第一副辯都具備這條件，一出場便非常有霸氣，彷彿已預知會勝利般，這表現亦讓我對我校辯論隊取勝很有信心。

　　看這這場比賽後我得知結辯應是最困難，最大壓力的角色。她們要摘錄好筆記，適當地總結全隊的觀點，亦要有力地反駁對手的觀點作完整的收結，這應該是一個很關鍵的角色。

3C　林凱欣

　　十一月十九日，我們觀看了一場精采的辯論比賽。是次比賽的題目是「補習導師不應明星化」，我校為正方。

　　這次比賽增加了我對辯論的認識和清楚明白開辯、副辯和結辯的運作。辯員緊扣辯題發揮，見解精確；立場鮮明，論點充足，論據充分。我校第二副辯曾提出一個比喻「糖果的味道不好，包裝如何精美華麗，也是於事無補」，意念新鮮，一針見血，緊扣題目。辯員以具體觀點和實際、大眾化的例子準確回應友方發言，妥善銜接話題，令我印象深刻。

　　技巧方面，辯員時間分配得宜，用詞準確，詞彙豐富雅正。而且辯員發言清晰，聲量充足，字字鏗鏘。速度方面，辯員雖有點快，但停頓適當。眼神照應全場，手勢配合內容，態度得體有禮。

　　這次的辯論比賽真的令我大開眼界。

Acrobatic Gymnastics China National Youth Championships

Our student, 6B Tse Lok-yee, has been playing Acrobatics Gymnastics since her childhood. She became member of the Hong Kong Jing Ying Gymnastics Team last year. She trained hard and strived for good performance. Lok-yee was selected by the Gymnastics Association of Hong Kong, China to participate in the 2011 Acrobatic Gymnastics China National Youth Championships held in Guilin, China last summer. She was awarded a bronze medal in the Team Competition and a silver medal in the Individual Competition. Her endeavors in training enabled her to be granted this honourable result.

Outstanding Achievements by Our Girls Softball Team

With the endeavours of our Girls Softball Team members, we achieved excellent results in three competitions last year. In the Inter-school Softball Competition, our team was awarded the champion for the 13th consecutive year. This champion, together, with the champions awarded in Novice Youth Softball Competition 10-11 and 2011 Hong Kong Age Group Softball Competition, enabled our team to capture the triple crown of the inter-school girls softball competition. Moreover, Lui Yi Nok from S. 6A was awarded the MVP in the Girls Division in the Inter-school Softball Competition, whereas Ho Wing Yee from S. 7A was awarded the MVP in 2011 Hong Kong Age Group Softball Competition.

The 11th Youth Leadership Development Scheme (YLD) organized by YMCA

A group of eight students from S4-S7 represented WSCSS to participate in the leadership training programme named 'Youth Leadership Development Scheme' and won the following awards.

First Runner-up in the Inter-school Project Competition about features of different districts
7B student Nam Ka Ling and her team won the Champion in the 'Adventure Training Competition'
5B student Wan Kim Bong was selected as representative for a six-day service tour to Bangladesh during summer vacation due to his outstanding performance in the training programme.

The following are reflections by the three students:

S.7B Chan Yuk Ying (leader of the school team)

First runner-up in the Inter-School Project Competition

The theme of this year’s project is to study the typical features of different districts in Hong Kong. Our team chose to investigate street art culture in Yau Tsim Mong District. We have done numerous researches on the topic and carried out two surveys in Mongkok by asking pedestrians through questionaires to collect their opinions on street art. Moreover, we did several interviews with experienced performers in the pedestrian area of Mongkok. Each interview became a memorable and valuable lesson for every one of us. The lives of these performers touched us greatly. After two months of hard work, we finally finished our written project in the form of a newspaper. Truly, all our group members have put a lot of effort in the project. We were all happy that our project has eventually won the first runner-up. All our effort has been paid off.

Besides, doing this project has aroused my care and attention to our society. Before the programme, I was a little bit indifferent to our society. But after looking deeply into the street culture in Yau Tsim Mong District, I have discovered another side of Hong Kong that I have never known before. Hong Kong is actually a city which is full of passion. There are still many stories for us to discover.

S.7B Nam Ka Ling

Champion in the Orienteering Competition

In the Orienteering and Camping activities, I joined the students from other schools and my group won the champion. In the overnight camp, we had to go hiking, cooking and build a rowboat ourselves. We were afraid that the rowboat would collapse but finally, we successfully rowed across the sea. During the hike, we took turns to be leaders leading the team to different checkpoints. Although we came from different schools and we didn’t know each other beforehand, we helped one another whenever there was a need and cooperated well when facing difficulties, such as walking along the rugged and rough paths and while we lost our way. We developed our team spirit of cooperation and care. Apart from enjoying the time with my group mates, the most important thing to me is that I have learnt to be a good leader. We experienced being both leaders and followers, and found out the responsibilities of different roles as well as our strengths and weaknesses. The overnight camp was really memorable.

I treasured very much the chance of meeting new friends and improving my leadership skills through this leadership programme.

S.5B Wan Kim Bong

Bangladesh Service Trip

How did you spend your summer holiday? For me, I have done the most meaningful thing in my life. I have joined the Bangladesh Service Trip organized by the YMCA.

It was a wonderful 7-days trip! During these seven days in Bangladesh, we had cultural exchange activities with the Bangladesh Youth through various leadership training programmes. I met many Bangladesh friends and had lots of fun with them there.

We had a brilliant campfire night with the villagers there and danced happily. We also visited a primary school and there I taught them a song, ‘My Bonnie is over the ocean…’. There were countless events, scenarios and people in Bangladesh that I will never forget!

Maybe you will think that Bangladesh is just a poor country. Although it is a developing country, I had an unforgettable experience there.

Tai Po Outstanding Student Award 2011

Sharing from S.4E Wong Nga Ting

I am honored to be elected as one of Tai Po's Top 10 student.

The journey to become a top student is not an easy one. Although I do quite well academically, to excel in a group of many talented and smart students is truly a difficult task. However, I believed in myself and my own abilities. Through this experience, I realized that a person’s faith is the key to achieving their goals.

During the summer holiday, I entered the Tai Po Top 10 student elections and learnt the importance of cooperation. At first I did not know the other participants from other schools. However, we soon began to know each other, and cooperated to achieve our goal. Slowly we became a close group of friends, which is very much like an inseparable family. Our cooperation led us to our common goal – to become the top student of Tai Po.

I would like to thank my caring parents for their teachings and wisdom, my teachers for their guidance and my friends and classmates for their support.

The Hong Kong Budding Scientists Award 2010-2011

Society of Japanese Language Education Scholarship

Chan Hok Him, our secondary 6 student, will take the Cambridge International Examination (Japanese) in the coming November. He is among the first batch of students who take other languages in the NSS curriculum. We are delighted that Hok Him was awarded a scholarship from the Society of Japanese Language Education in Hong Kong to recognize his outstanding performance in his studies. We wish him every success in his studies. Let’s share his experiences in Japanese studies.

"I am glad to get this scholarship from the Society of Japanese Language Education in Hong Kong. In fact, there are two main reasons why I want to study Japanese. Firstly, I love the Japanese culture very much. There are a number of festivals in Japan which are related to nature. The Japanese regard nature as important as god, such as the Spring Festival, and this really appeals to me. Secondly, we can find products which are produced or designed by Japanese anywhere. I hope I can understand the Japanese on the labels of these products one day.

Now, I have been studying Japanese for two and a half years, I find learning Japanese very delighting and interesting. Despite the voluminous vocabularies and grammatical rules, Miss Lau, our Japanese teacher, teaches us step by step patiently; and therefore we can memorize them easily. The Japanese class is not only interesting, It is also very meaning. As I have learnt many things about Japan. In these two and a half years, I have realized that Japanese is a subject that you would love once you start learning it.

Recently, I know that the Hokkaido University offers a veterinary studies programme, and it is the best among Asia. This is a motivating piece of news to me as I have always wanted to be a veterinarian. I hope I can have a chance to study there in the future. Besides, I still want to know more about Japan. I believe that I will put more effort in studying Japanese in future."

Alexander Leung strikes GOLD in British Council writing competition

Leung Alexander Siu Kwun has won 1st Prize (Adventure, Suspense Category) and a place on a Creative Writing English Camp in Hong Kong in ‘Stories Alive’ Story-Writing Competition for Junior Secondary Students jointly organised by British Council & SCOLAR in July 2011. The prize-winners of the competition won a place on a Creative Writing English Summer Camp in Hong Kong run in early July 2011. They will have their stories published in a competition anthology and on posters that will be displayed in Hong Kong schools.

In his thrilling and imaginative story “Friendly Comrades”, Alexander tells us about the hair-raising adventure of a British soldier.

By S. 4E Leung Alexander Siu Kwun

Friendly Comrades

At the night of 15th November, 1917, a British Soldier-Andrew West, was lost in the western front—Gallipoli. He lost contact with his battalion. He was tired and cold. Then he saw a beam of light and heard some laughter coming from a place. They came from a few small houses in front of Andrew. He went to one of the houses and knocked on the door, hoping that it wouldn’t be the Germans.

Eventually, a solider opened the door-Luckily, a British solider as well. The solider welcomed Andrew to go in. There were about a thousand of them, sitting around camp fires. Andrew looked at one of the soldier’s shoulder; the words ‘39 battalion’ were printed on it. Surprisingly, the clothes were full of bullet holes. Andrew had dinner and talked with the soldiers of the 39 battalion. They were very polite, but they refused to tell their names, saying that that’s security matters. So Andrew changed helmets with them and gave them his cigarettes as a gift.

Next morning, Andrew got up early; he left a letter to the 39 battalions before he left.

After finding back his team. Andrew told his commander about it. Surprisingly, his commander looked shocked. He said, ‘the 39 battalion was long gone! They were wiped out to the last man in 1915. There were no survivors in the battalion.’ He took out a piece of paper. It showed that 39 battalion was wiped out in 1915.

Andrew West felt sick. He went back to the place where the 39 battalion were last night. Then, to his horror, he saw hundreds of skeletons scattering on the ground. They were killed by heavy machine guns.

Suddenly, Andrew fainted away. One of the skeletons was wearing Andrew’s helmet. On the skeleton’s hand, was Andrew’s letter.

'Stories Alive': English learning comes alive

The Summer Creative Writing English camp was a really meaningful camp. In the camp, I have met a good teacher. She gave us a lot of different advice to improve our English and our writing skills. Also, we learnt a lot about camera skills and script writing during the visit to The Hong Kong Museum of Coastal Defence. The room was very nice too! It has the same quality of a hotel. I have made friends with a lot of other campers and they all came from different schools in different districts. It is fun to make friends with different people who have different backgrounds. One thing that amazed me in the camp is the English level of the other campers. They all speak very fluent English! After this fantastic experience, I decided to work harder in my English to catch up with them.

16th Hong Kong Olympiad Chemistry for Secondary Schools

Our school has previously sent a team of five S.6 students to participate in the 16th Hong Kong Olympiad Chemistry for Secondary Schools. The result is encouraging. Their project entitled "The Investigation of God-given Talent of Chitosan" won the 2nd runner-up in the competition.

The theme of this competition is the Chemistry of Polymers. The students chose to investigate polymer chitosan which can be obtained from natural polymer chitin found in most exoskeleton of crustaceans. They investigated the application of chitosan in our daily lives, including the uses of chitosan to absorb heavy metal ions and oil in water, as well as the use of chitosan solution to increase the tensile strength of tissue papers.

Their all-round report and outstanding presentation of their ideas enabled them to be granted this honorable prize.

Tai Po Good Students Award

This year, 925 students of our school have won the Tai Po Good Students Award in which 40 of them are awarded the "Certificate of merit" and three of them are awarded the "Certificate of Outstanding Performance". They are Tse Ho Wing (5E), Cheng Hiu Ki (6A) and Yu Ka Miu (6B).

A team formed by Cheng Hoi Ki, Ho Pui In, Ho Sin Ying, Leung Sin and Ma Kwan Tang (5B) had participated in the competition. Their topic was 'In 12th Five Years Plan, the ways China helps to solve the pollution problem of the Dong Jiang River and roles Hong Kong has played in this issue.'

The performance of the team was brilliant. They won the championship of the competition and got the prize of 'My Favorite Project Design' (voted by the audience).

Wong Shiu Chi Wins Debate

Wong Shiu Chi Secondary School and CA Cheng Wing Gee College met in the second round of the 12th Nesta-SCMP Debating Competition. The motion was "that Hong Kong is taking care of mainland immigrants arriving here since 2006". Wong Shiu Chi took the affirmative side, and CA Cheng Wing Gee the negative.

The adjudicator, Mike Choi, the English Panel Chair of Kau Yan College gave the edge to Wong Shiu Chi because of their stronger arguments, better use of statistics and specific rebuttals. The affirmative team was credited with being very confident and clearly presenting their teamline.

The best speaker went to Esther Dai Kwan Pui (S6A), second speaker of the affirmative. She rebutted the arguments by the negative point by point and gave detailed evidence to support her views, which convinced and impressed the adjudicator so much.

The negative team gave a few very good, real-life examples against the motion. The first negative speaker was credited with explaining his points clearly and giving detailed evidence.

La Suisse plurielle-Switzerland and Migration Writing Contest

Leung Lai Hei of 6A was awarded one of the five honorary mentions in the city-wide 2010 writing contest, "La Suisse plurielle-Switzerland and Migration" held in November. The contest was organized by the Consulate General of Switzerland and the Department of Asian and International Studies of the City University of Hong Kong.

Leung Lai Hei's essay is titled, "Migrants are not useless at all". She has shown her great understanding in the topic and her work was highly appreciated by the judging panel. The winners' essays including Leung Lai Hei's were displayed at the Exhibition Hall of the City University of Hong Kong from 17th to 20th December, 2010.

The following is her essay:

Migrants are not useless at all
About a million years ago, human migration began. There are loads of motivations for individuals to make this decision, such as natural tragedies, wars, studies, work and so on. In a general sense, migration can be divided into two types, namely internal and overseas migration. I will focus on the discussion over the latter one, explaining how overseas migrants can enrich their host and home countries in the following paragraphs.
To begin with, host countries usually reject immigrants because of economic concerns. Migrants tend to bring about unemployment to local workers since they are more willing to accept lower salaries or possess better skills. Employers, as it should be, hire those newcomers who can lower production costs for the company thus reducing the job opportunities for local job-seekers.
In addition, social welfare is shared among more people. Take Hong Kong as an example: expectant mothers from mainland China come to Hong Kong to give birth, so as to give their children a Hong Kong identity and enjoy high-quality social facilities. Community expenses of the government, such as educational subsidies, public medical services, retirement funding etc, grow at a fast rate. Taxpayers refuse to pay for the immigrants subsequently, contributing to discrimination toward these new settlers.
Host countries also fear that immigrants will dilute their unique cultural characteristics and therefore support the development of anti-multiculturalism. As a result, small societies are built to segregate immigrants and original residents, like the 'Chinatowns' in various foreign countries.
At the same time, there is a serious outflow of well-trained domestic labour force in the immigrants' home countries, forcing them to import foreign workers. Other countries then suffer from the same problem as well. Hence, a vicious circle is created.
As above mentioned, some people think that migration cannot contribute to the enrichment of their host and home countries. However, others, including me, do not agree.
The report released by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) in 2005 pointed out some misunderstandings of people toward migration. They linked migration with globalization and argues that relying on local workforce is not beneficial to the countries. In fact, migrations filled up two extreme types of job vacancies: dangerous jobs with low skills and well-paid jobs with high technical expertise. Therefore, it is not true to claim that migrants will dominate the labour market.
As compared with their welfare benefits received, immigrants in England paid 4 billion US dollars in taxes more in 1999 and 2000. This piece of evidence illustrated migrants will enrich the countries economically, by paying higher taxes and remitting remunerations to their host and mother countries respectively. Moreover, these newcomers might bring along their capital, skills and purchasing power when they are moving to new environment. Their consumption is helping with the growth of local industries too. This further proves the presence of migrants can truly enhance the internal economy of the nations.
Immigrants can also cure the existing aging problem in the societies which have low birth rates. Acceptance of migrants not only increases the working population and raises productivity of a country, but also increases the competitiveness of local employees, since they have to pay extra effort so as to maintain their status quo.
A modernized country should respect different cultures. Cultural diversity in a society will broaden the citizens' horizons, allowing them to have a deeper look over other customs and traditions. New thoughts will be inspired by the introduction of foreign civilizations without destroying local culture.
To summarize, I think migrants bring about more good than harm to the world so governments should implement measures to lend a hand to them instead of imposing numerous restrictions, as they are advantageous to the society. After all, we are all living in the global village and every villager should be equally treated, regardless of their identity.

The Youth First-aid Competition 2010

This year, our school has sent two First-aid teams to participate in the Youth First-aid Competition organized by Hong Kong Red Cross Youth and Volunteer Department (East New Territories Divisional Headquarters).

In a simulated accident scene, members applied their first aid skills, health care skills and small scale saving skills to help the patients with either their physical or psychological needs.

8th Inter-school Competition of Study Projects on Hong Kong's History and Culture

The 1967 Riots was the most serious disturbance in Hong Kong which was still deeply engraved in the memories of many Hong Kong people living then. Behind the riots, the subtle relations between Hong Kong and China are uncovered by looking into their line of food trade. Moreover, it brought bloom and decline of the pig farming industry. Four of our senior form students initiated a project relating to this incident. They interviewed some pig farmers and the vice chairman of the Federation of Pig Raising Co-operative Society. The first-hand experiences really help in the report. Information was also collected from government archives and the microfilms. After studying the information, they completed the Study Project titled "The Development of Hong Kong’s Pig Farming Industry during 1967 Riots". Our team was honourably awarded the Champion in the Senior Form Section of the 8th Inter-school Competition of Study Projects on Hong Kong's History and Culture jointly organized by the Hong Kong Museum of History and the Hong Kong Institute for Promotion of Chinese Culture. The members of our school’s team are as follows:
