Chinese Debate Team
LAU Yuen Lam (5C) and TSUI Hau Wing (5C) shared their previous experience as the Team Captains. While participating in debate competitions, team spirit, time management, and a clear mind were developed. Teamwork was also important. Within the one-week preparation for the competition, the Debate Team worked around the clock to figure out the team line, and they had to work closely with each other and the debate team coach. Owing to the heavy workload of studies and schoolwork, good time management is crucial.
Mathematics and Science Society
The Team participated in the Joint School Science Exhibition. They were given a chance to apply the scientific knowledge acquired and learn how to present the project to the public using daily life examples, and tackled technical problems during the exhibition by fostering their problem-solving skills and resilience.
Music Performance
The String Ensemble performed Divertimento No.3 by Mozart. WU Ho Ting (3B) expressed her gratitude for having the opportunity to perform with her talented team which made lots of effort in rehearsing for the performance, and was praised for their excellent performance. She truly believed that their performance could let the guests understand more about the music culture and tradition in St. Mark’s, and how the team members displayed the spirit of togetherness.
Alumni Sharing
Graduates of 2018-2019 shared how they were trained to be leaders in their secondary school life. CHAN Wai Nok told the audience he was given the opportunity to be the Vice Chairperson and Chairperson of Christian Fellowship in F.4 and F.5 respectively. He learnt how to lead, guide and collaborate with his fellow members, and showed his sincere gratitude to serve the school, his home. NG Man Dick treasured the chance to be the leading actor in the Drama Team which developed his confidence. Besides, he was trained well in public speaking through his active participation in the English Debate Team which further developed his communication skills.
