各位親愛的家長及同學：

Dear parents and students,

在忙碌的考試周過後，終於能夠在復活節假期休息一下了。放假過後，四月十三日是教師專業發展日，當天老師們就學校的發展進行了不同的活動--「正向教育」講座及學校發展檢視。「正向教育」是學校本周期的重點發展項目，正向教育是應用正向心理學的理念於學校環境中，著重全人發展，以發掘、培養和發揮個人的長處和潛能為目標，推動個人發展正面的元素如樂觀、愉快和互愛等，積極面對生活中的壓力和挑戰，從而邁向圓滿的人生，促進學生的全人發展。是次講座由林淑穎女士主講，她以生動有趣的例子，讓老師們認識正向情緒與正向的溝通，幫助老師理解及處理學生的情緒。下午，老師們分成不同的小組，檢視一下過去三年學校的發展，從而制定未來三年的學校發展計劃。家長們與同學們都是我們的重要一員，希望你們也一起參與！學校將會製作一張有創意的意見收集表。不同持分者的意見，對學校的發展會有着重大的裨益。

After a busy week of examinations, we could finally take a rest during the Easter holidays. After the holidays, it was Teachers’ Professional Development Day on 13 April. On that day, teachers took part in various activities regarding the development of the school, including Positive Education Seminar and School Development Review. Positive Education is our school’s current major area of development. Positive Education applies positive psychology in education settings. It puts emphasis on whole person development and aims to help individuals develop, discover, foster and actualise their strengths and potential. It promotes the development of positive elements such as optimism, joy and caring for one another, and the ability to proactively face stresses and challenges in order to cultivate whole person development and to have a fulfilling life. The speaker was Ms. Pinky LAM. She used interesting and animated examples to illustrate positive emotions and communication for our teachers which helped us to understand and effectively deal with students’ emotions. In the afternoon, teachers worked in small groups to review the development of our school over the past three years in order to draw up a new Three-Year School Development Plan. Parents and students are also very important in this process, so I hope that you will take part, too! Our school will design some creative surveys for different stakeholders to express their opinions. Your views are invaluable for the development of our school!

復活節假後，全港的中小學也可以安排三分二的學生上課。學校會一如以往，全面進行消毒工作，並經常提示同學要注意個人衛生，為學生提供一個清潔又又安心上課的環境。我們會先觀察復課後的情況，若情況穩定，我們會盡快啟動全面半天復課安排。祝願全球疫情盡快過去，各人可以過着健康而快樂的生活。

After the Easter Holidays, two-thirds of students of primary and secondary schools in Hong Kong may be arranged to go to school for face-to-face lessons. As usual, all areas of our school have been disinfected. We have also been constantly reminding our students to maintain personal hygiene in order to provide them with a clean and worry-free environment to learn. First, we will observe the circumstances following class resumption; if the situation is stable, we will resume half-day class resumption for all students as soon as possible. I hope that the epidemic will pass soon and that we can all live happily and healthily.

春天悄悄地走了，學校的花草樹木也開花結果了！校園裏生機盎然，處處種滿了花朵樹木，還有辣椒、香草……看！「報紙樹」結果了嗎？你們猜猜這是甚麼樹吧！猜中給你吃一個！

Spring is slowly passing by; the floras of our school are blooming! Our school is overflowing with life. There are flowers and trees everywhere. There are also chili peppers, herbs… Look! Has “Newspaper Tree” blossomed? Can you guess what kind of tree this is? If you can guess it right, I will give you one to eat!

四月尾，學校也為學生安排了一些特別的活動，令學生在復課的日子裏，增添不少學習的趣味。在體育科方面，體育老師在高年級的體育課程中，加入了直立板（立划艇）的體驗活動，學生感覺新奇，主動參與，連街上的遊人不禁也停下來看看。

At the end of April, our school arranged some special activities for our students, which made school life more fulfilling for them during class resumption. Our P.E. teachers included a paddle-boarding experiential activity in P.E. lessons for our students in higher grades. Our students were intrigued and they enthusiastically participated; even the passers-by couldn’t help looking at us curiously!

在音樂科方面，音樂科老師為同學在禮堂安排了一場敲擊樂的表演。當天一大清早樂手就用貨車將他們龐大樂器運到學校。由於疫情關係，音樂事務處未能安排吹奏樂器的表演，但仍以短片形式介紹銅管和木管樂器。同學們投入於音樂會中，並踴躍回答問題。我們相信，知識不單從課本內學到，也可以由不同途徑汲取，日後我們會盡量提供相關活動，提升我們學生的學習興趣。

In terms of our Music subject, our Music teachers arranged a percussions performance in the school hall for our students. That morning, the musicians transported their huge musical instruments to school using their truck. Due to the coronavirus, Music Office couldn’t arrange a wind instruments performance for us. Fortunately, there was a video introducing brass and woodwind instruments. Our students enjoyed the concert and answered questions enthusiastically. We believe that knowledge doesn’t solely come from textbooks, but can be obtained through various means. We will do our best to provide a variety of activities in the future to increase our students’ learning motivation.
