Readathon February 2007
The theme of this year Readathon is Poetry Appreciation. To encourage students to read and develop a habit of reading, we would like all participants to set an individual pledge goal of 600 minutes reading to be completed in the month of February. A number of reading activities will be held in the week of Feb 5. We have invited special guest speakers to talk to our students on Feb 5, a special book fair with both Chinese and English books will be held in the Covered Playground on Feb 5 & 6, and students will have the chance to recite poems and join the Book of the Day quiz.
Students who meet the pledge goal of 600 minutes reading will be awarded with a Readathon Certificate; and prizes will be presented to the students with the highest no. of pages read in each form.

Carnival-Book Fairs & Used Book Sale
A big THANK YOU to all parents, students and teachers who have generously donated books to our Used Book Sale and support the Book Fairs on the Carnival!!
There were altogether 16 boxes of used books collected. Most of them were sold on the Carnival, the left behind were given away at the end of the day. The total amount raised from the sale is HK$3230.00
I would also like to thank Sun Young and the Reading Bug for holding the book fairs for us with a good variety of quality titles. Although their prices were not as competitive as the ones in the Used Book Sale, the good new books available at their booths were welcome by many visitors.
It is so nice to see that both parents and students were so enthusiastic in getting good reading materials home to enjoy. Thanks again for all your support!!

S.1 students have been working very hard to produce a 7-day Hong Kong tour brochure, and a composition about their feeling of Hong Kong, their home. This exercise aims to enhance their appreciation of Hong Kong as their home and to boost their pride as citizens of Hong Kong.
To support this assignment, the Library has prepared a special collection of books about Hong Kong on display for students to research on information about Hong Kong. A special web link page has also been created to help students locate useful online resources about Hong Kong more easily. To access links to these web sites, students can check the School Library Page at eclass by following this path, My eClass --> 0506-C006-School Library (T) --> Web Links --> Local Studies
