During the recent Easter break from March 25th to March 29th, a group of thirty Form Four and Form Five students from our school embarked on a five-day, four-night study trip to Guizhou under the supervision of the principal and four teachers. The itinerary included visits to various attractions such as the Huangguoshu Waterfall, Xiaoqikong Scenic Area and Yaoshan Ancient Village, allowing the students to personally experience the magnificent scenery of Guizhou. Additionally, we had the opportunity to visit the rarely accessible Sandu CLP Wind Farm, where we gained insights into the development of wind power in China.

Moreover, our students engaged in an exchange program with Guiyang No.6 Middle School for the first time. Activities included attending classes together, friendly sports match, and enjoying the well-prepared performance by Guiyang No.6 Middle School. This study trip provided our students with valuable firsthand experiences and insights. It broadened their horizons and allowed them to appreciate the remarkable achievements China has made in recent years from multiple perspectives such as sustainable development, cultural heritage and economic advancement.

二零二四年三月二十五至二十九日，將會是我中學生涯中最難忘的五天。雖然我身在香港，但感覺自己仍置身於貴州，我的心仍留在貴州的一山一水一草一木之中。

回顧當日前往貴州當天，五小時的高鐵車程使人有點疲憊，但無阻大家對貴州的熱情。我們離開城市的煩囂，將要親身體會貴州的大自然及當地的風土人情。

萬里無雲的藍天下，極具古代特色的甲秀樓令人印象深刻；樹木輝映的群山中，宏偉壯觀的黃果樹瀑布令人歎為觀止，我們從上下左右四個角度觀賞黃果樹瀑布，更能穿過水簾洞，做一會兒「孫悟空」，雖然滿身濕透卻不亦樂乎；我們在青岩古鎮嘗盡當地特色小食，看到遊客穿上了華美的苗族服飾，實在令人驚艷不已。瑤族門前的槍聲縈繞耳畔，這是瑤族的迎賓儀式，充滿民族風情。小七孔園區中的卧龍潭和拉雅瀑布已成為我手機桌布，貴州的山水猶如一幅優美的畫，令人深深入迷。我們更在貴陽六中體驗課堂，並和六中的同學建立了珍貴的友誼，大合照中燦爛的笑臉便是最好的證明。我們還有幸去了三都風電場，近距離觀賞45部屹立在山巔上的風車，見證國家科技發展，為祖國的興盛深感自豪。

那天前往三都風電場，老師邀請我代表學校致謝辭，雖然沒有十足把握，但還是把任務順利完成，更受到老師的稱讚和同學們的鼓勵，令我感到滿足和安慰。自古成功在嘗試，我慶幸自己鼓起了勇氣，挑戰自我。

感謝老師的悉心安排和照顧，這趟貴州之旅讓我獲益匪淺！

貴州之旅雖只有短短五日，卻令我對貴州這個地方留下了深刻的印象。

仍記得第一天去貴州的時候，我們首先到訪那豎立在南明河上的甲秀樓。它高高豎立在南明湖上，湖上映出甲秀樓的倒影，壯麗的景色令人心情豁然開朗，五小時車程所累積的疲累早已煙消雲散。

令我印象最深刻的，就是在第三日時，我們到了貴陽市第六中學進行交流活動。當地的同學實在熱情，早早便到了校門迎接我們，我也很榮幸體驗他們的課堂活動，那天上書法課及物理課，他們的課堂氣氛非常好，老師提問後，同學很踴躍回答問題，令我樂在其中。

貴陽六中令我印象深刻的，還不止這些。在下午，我們有幸欣賞他們各個團體的演出，他們的表演實在精彩，有樂隊、有中樂、有舞蹈、有配音，在舞台上的他們，放開了拘束，自由自在，盡情表演；我們也很捧場，歡呼聲充滿了整個音樂廳，到了現在，那精彩絕倫的演出，仍然歷歷在目。

後來，我們又到了小七孔景區。在景區里，有山有水，有深林，有瀑布。我很難找到任何一個字能夠形容那裏的景色，不只是美，不只是壯麗，我只記得我被那瀑布緊緊吸引著，看著水從高處流下，落入水中，光是看著、聽著，就忘卻了煩惱，有甚麼可比得上如此的人間仙境呢？

總而言之，貴州的交流活動，除了讓我看到了當地名勝古蹟外，還讓我看到了當地學生的學校生活。俗話說：讀萬卷書不如行萬里路，這次經歷是我親臨其境才能體驗到的，若有機會，我很願意重臨貴州，再觀賞那黃果樹瀑布，再去探訪少數族裔的部落，讓我再次享受只屬於貴州的美。

Selected by Mr Hui, I went on a study tour to Guizhou alongside our teachers and schoolmates during the Easter holiday.

For me, exchanging with the students in Guiyang No.6 High School was the most memorable experience during the trip. From the time we arrived, we were embraced with warmth and hospitality by both their teachers and students. While walking around their campus, I was impressed by its vastness and the diverse range of facilities. Not only did they boast laboratory centre and a standard sports field, but they also had a two-floor auditorium that rivaled Hong Kong's Hung Hom stadium. During the campus tour, we shared experiences of our school life. It was eye-opening to discover that their schooling is even more harsh than ours with mandatory self-study sessions extending until 10 pm and the implementation of a specialised center for reflection whenever they violated school rules.

Additionally, I was invited to participate in a chemistry lesson and learnt about exothermic and endothermic reactions through hands-on experiments. Everyone fully engaged and actively participated in interesting discussions. I was totally inspired by their learning mode and pedagogies. Before leaving their school, a talent show was performed in the auditorium. Extraordinary singing performed by a secondary five girl captivated hundreds of hearts. We all shouted and clapped our hands together.

‘Staying at school all the time, our dream is to go to the sea one day and revel in its majestic beauty,’ said a student there. This thought-provoking statement struck a chord within me, making me realise how fortunate we are as Hong Kong students. We have the privilege of returning home every day after school, enjoying precious moments with our families, and even going on enriching study tours. It reminded me that valuable experiences and opportunities are not easily attained, teaching me the importance of cherishing and being grateful for what we have.

在今年復活節假期，我來到了風景優美，具有特色風土人情的貴州，並在此留下了美好且珍貴的回憶。

這次長途跋涉的旅程中，令我印象尤為深刻的便是貴州的山水。在貴州的第二天，我們便來到了聞名中外的黃果樹瀑布，一睹它雄偉壯觀的風采。沿著彎彎曲曲的石徑，我們來到了瀑布對面的觀瀑臺。憑欄眺望，瀑布如飛流直下三千尺般直瀉犀牛潭中，氣勢磅礡。只見水流從高處傾瀉而下，在空中形成了美麗的弧線，宛如一段段白色的絲綢，靜靜垂入湖底。當水流衝擊崖下的巖石和水池時，水花飛濺，濺起的水珠在陽光的照射下晶瑩剔透，閃爍著鑽石般的光芒，無不讓人嘆為觀止。當來到瀑布半腰的水簾洞，感受萬頃瀑布從頭頂轟鳴而下時，更是令人驚心動魄，仿若身臨仙境。

在貴州的第五天，我們來到了黔南荔波的小七孔景區，遊覽其山水交融的美景。其中，令人印象深刻的莫過於深邃的臥龍潭以及水上森林。臥龍潭的潭水因其蘊含的豐富礦物質銅的緣故，呈現出天然的寶石藍色。驕陽投下斑斑駁駁細碎的光影，為漂在水面宛如金箔的落葉增添了點睛之筆。緊接著，我們便來到了林溪穿插的原始森林。踩著鑲嵌在溪流上形狀不一的木頭，聽著陣陣清脆的鳥鳴聲，呼吸著清新芳香的空氣，感受著微風輕拂臉頰，我仿彿感受到大地的脈搏，與自然共舞的寧靜和平和，讓人心曠神怡。在茂密的森林中漫步，樹木高聳入雲，枝葉交織成綠色的天幕，陽光透過樹葉的縫隙酒下斑駁的光斑。沉浸在這片靜謐的綠色海洋中，遠離了喧囂的塵世，感受著大自然的恩賜，靈魂在此刻得到了療愈，壓力得以舒緩，內心重獲平靜。

除了遊覽名勝古蹟以及美輪美奐的風景外，我們更到訪貴陽市第六中學，並與當地的同學一起上棋藝和書法課，互相交流，從中了解了內地和香港在學習、生活以及文化上的不同。此外，我們還一同欣賞了貴陽六中同學精彩絕倫的文藝匯演，更認識了許多志同道合的小夥伴。

這次旅程是我人生中最為寶貴的一課。

Our school organized the "Sister School Exchange Activity cum Guangzhou History and Culture Study Tour" from 24th to 27th March. Accompanied by Principal Mr. Cheng Sze Wang, Vice-principal Ms. Ngai Yuen Ming, Ms. Yip Po Ling, Mr. Yeung Man Ching and Mr. Chan Ka Kiu, 30 students from Secondary 4 and Secondary 5 visited Guangzhou Nanwu Middle School for a two-day academic exchange programme. At this demonstrative senior high school in Guangdong province, students took part in a campus tour, attended classes taught by local teachers, participated in a youth forum, and engaged in various sports and cultural activities. Through these experiences, students gained a deeper understanding of the campus life and culture in the mainland.

In addition to the school visit, our teachers and students also explored famous attractions in Guangzhou, such as Yuexiu Park, the Sun Yat-sen Grand Marshal House, Yongqing Fang and the Pearl River, allowing us to immerse ourselves in the unique historical and cultural atmosphere of the city.

在這次廣州之旅，到訪南武中學的那兩天最令我留下深刻的印象。南武中學的校長和師生熱情地招呼我們，他們先請我們參觀校史館，介紹南武中學悠久的歷史，然後帶我們上思政課。正當我為沒有書本上課而感到懊惱時，在我身旁的一位女學生主動示意與我共用課本。或許這只是一個小小的舉動，卻深深地打動了我，使我感到南武中學學生樂於助人、平易近人的特質。

第二天，我與另外四位同學代表學校參與領袖高峰論壇。在交流環節中，我們分享了內地與香港青年在教育、經濟、文化、科創等不同方面的優勢，並與南武中學的學生討論兩地青年如何能互補優勢。南武中學的學生演說技巧嫻熟、資料準備充足，表現充滿自信，值得我們學習。我在結語時表示希望日後南武中學的學生可以來訪我校，體驗香港中學生的生活。總的來說，這次論壇使我們獲益良多，亦讓我們兩校同學有更深入的交流和認識。

廣州南武中學是廣東省示範性高中，這次到訪，我參與了高中思政課及羽毛球友誼交流賽，深深體會內地學生卓越的知識水平和運動能力。

在思政課中，老師講授「民族區域自治制度」這個課題時，由淺入深，先以淺顯的自治區、特別行政區定義入題，然後播放幾段短片增添課堂趣味，加深學生對課題內容的認識，最後更引導學生進深思考種族歧視的議題。我發現學生學習態度很好，能在課堂上展現出多角度思考的能力，令人十分佩服。

此外，在羽毛球交流賽中，體育老師在羽毛球課中抽選了兩位學生與我們比賽。在對賽過程中，我深深體會到他們優秀的競技能力，以及對運動比賽的專注。可見南武中學的學生動靜皆宜，除重視學術外，在其他方面也有均衡的發展。

這次交流讓我深有體會，不僅限於知識上的增益，更是學習心態上的啟發。若有機會，我也很想再跟南武中學的朋友再聚！

Our principal Mr. Cheng Sze Wang and Teacher Mr. Hui Ming Chun were invited by Radio Television Hong Kong to share in the radio programme "Colorful Journey". During the programme, they shared experiences in implementing service learning and reflected on teaching careers. In the realm of service-learning, our school combines the issue of an aging population with visiting the elderly as a way to deepen students' understanding and cultivate positive values of intergenerational harmony. Some interested students have joined the Zonta Club Volunteer Team, where they take the initiative to plan service projects, such as teaching the elderly to make phone stands using laser cutting. A group of highly enthusiastic students, who are dedicated to serving society, even went beyond Hong Kong last year and traveled to remote villages in Rwanda to assist residents in installing solar panels.

Furthermore, Principal Mr. Cheng Sze Wang also shared insights from his over thirty years of teaching experience. For example, how to establish good teacher-student relationships and maintain contact with former students. It is worth noting that some of these former students' children have also enrolled in Wong Siu Chi Secondary School, carrying on the legacy.

More than 50 students from the school's Prefect team joined the Red Brick Adventure Project organized by the Warehouse Teenage Club on 11th December, 2023. The Project includes activities such as a war game, a cook out and an adventure experience, which aims to cultivate positive thinking among youngsters and enhance their physical and mental health, teamwork and resilience.

Reflection by 5D Chan Hiu Ching

On 11th of December 2023, our school's Prefect Team joined a day camp held by The Warehouse Teenage Club at Old Aberdeen Police Station. The camp was filled with exciting activities, such as a war game and camp cooking.

The day began with a team-building activity and a war game. We were divided into teams and provided with plastic guns. The war games not only required physical strength, but also strategic thinking and teamwork. It was a thrilling experience as we strategized, communicated, and executed plans to outsmart the opposing team. The games taught us valuable lessons about leadership and decision-making under pressure. It was an adrenaline-filled adventure that brought out our competitive spirit.

After the exhilarating war game, we started our afternoon with a cook out. We converted the scores we made in the war game and different ingredients, including vegetables and eggs. However, not many of us were experienced in cooking. Luckily, through division of labour, we solved the problem. People who knew how to cook became the chefs while others were responsible for washing the ingredients. Eventually, a simple but satisfying meal was prepared.

The highlight of the day was undoubtedly the rock climbing adventure. We were introduced to the fundamentals of rock climbing, including safety procedures and climbing techniques. As we scaled the towering rock-climbing walls, we faced our fears, pushed our limits, and discovered our inner strength. The experience of conquering the challenging routes not only provided a rush of adrenaline, but also instilled in us a sense of resilience, and perseverance.

Overall, the camp was truly an enriching experience. It not only provided a platform for us to engage in exciting activities but also imparted meaningful lessons. It fostered unity, trust, and friendship among the prefects. On this incredible day, all of us were grateful for the opportunity to learn and created lasting memories together.

Our softball team participated the All HK Inter-Secondary Schools Softball Competition, which was held by the The Schools Sports Federation of Hong Kong, China in the Hong Kong Softball Association and Shek Kip Mei Service Reservoir Playground. With their huge efforts, our school won the Championship. Our student Hung Kam Lam from 4D was awarded the Most Valuable Player. The list of the Softball team members is as follows:

13 athletes participated the Inter-School Swimming Championships, held by the Hong Kong Schools Sports Federation Tai Po & North District Secondary Schools Area Committee at the Ma On Shan Swimming Pool on 25th and 26th Oct 2023. They won eight individual awards, two relay awards and two team trophies in the competition. The team of Boys A grade came sixth, while the team of Girls B grade and Girls C grade came fifth. The list of swimming team members is as follows:

Wong Shiu Chi Zonta Club has always been dedicated to serving the community and providing students with opportunities to learn multiple skills and cultivate positive values through different volunteer services. In the previous academic year, the WSC Zonta Club organised a series of service projects, focusing on the elderly in our community. These projects included caring for elderly people with dementia, teaching the elderly how to use smartphones, and organising a variety of workshops led by students, such as bracelet making and 3D-printing phone stands. On the other hand, the elderly members also shared their knowledge and expertise with the students, by teaching them how to make traditional snacks like radish cakes and sesame cookies. This exchange of skills and experiences bridged the generational gap and allowed students to learn valuable lessons from the elderly and challenge their stereotypes.

These service learning projects have gained recognition from the Zonta Club. We have been honored with the Best Service Award for the 2022-2023 academic year among other secondary school Zonta Clubs, and receive a grant of $3,000, as operational funding for the upcoming service projects in the future. We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to all the members of the Zonta Club for their contribution. And we will continue to promote service learning in the future.
