This performance was based on Roald Dahl’s popular and very funny, twisted fairytales. It is a multi-award winning show having won the PinS (Performers in Schools) Award for Excellence (Australia) for 2011-2016.  Along with the interactive, vibrant, story-telling and startling magic tricks, the students were given many useful, practical tips that benefit their own future drama performances and classroom presentations.

This was a truly memorable and valuable experience for students!

Getting closer to Nature and to God, camp was held in Wu Kwai Sha Youth Village.  The theme of this year is Stand Firm – Stay True and Never Deviate.  This will build up students’ team spirit through activities ranged from very creative to explorative and during worship time, students will be encouraged and energized by their teachers, saying prayers of thanks for them and sharing positive words with one another.

A team of six from the Chinese technology giant met with Mr. Clarence Chan, School Supervisor, Mr. Martin Lau, School Board Member, Dr. Cora Hui, Principal Cum Interim Head of School, Mr. Samuel Cheng, Principal Assistant and other school members. Dr. Hui presented our school mission, introduced the Alberta Education curriculum, and highlighted the development of the international school education sector in Hong Kong. Mr. Samuel Cheng introduced CAIS approach to digital learning, STEM education and future plans for school innovation.  In addition, two students from grades 10 and 12 shared their learning experiences in the school, speaking to our visitors in fluent Mandarin.

Following the meeting, the Tencent representatives toured the new CAIS campus and marveled at the spacious and high-quality environment designed for experiential learning and immersive learning communities. This visit prompted a dialogue for further collaboration with the Tencent Innovative Education Cooperation Center, such as exchange activities and field trips to their headquarters. Their investment in cutting-edge digital technology aligns with our school goal of excellence in teaching and learning; we look forward to a fruitful working relationship with them in the near future.

Around 20 students in Grades 7-12 and teachers joined the event. This gave students and teachers a chance to grow together as they spent extended time with God and had times of fellowship, worship, and prayer.

Currently, CAIS students in Grades 7-12 have been busy getting their year of learning started in art with a collaborative cut paper mosaic project for the corridors. It was important for learners to feel ownership over this space by helping it reflect the identity and creativity of CAIS. Large paper mosaics, featuring many of the boxes from the move, became their platform for this message. Each group of learners began their work by analyzing the space where their design would hang, and then working collaboratively to plan a suitable finished paper creation.

Each finished mosaic shows the interests, creative ideas, and delicate craftsmanship of the artists responsible for these works. A colorful lion head, akin to the CAIS mascot, in Atrium 3 emphasizes the many pieces that must come together to create the beautiful and dynamic school we are apart of. The moving box cardboard composition near room 405 evokes symbolic commentary on the move, transition, and subsequent growth the campus has gone through in the last year. Many pieces along the 3rd and 4th floor spaces, like the Geronimo Stilton mosaic, are thoughtfully designed to suit the young audiences that populate those spaces.

These works of art will be available for viewing until the end of September 2017, when they will be changed out for continued creations from the art classroom. In October, students will be exploring works that challenge the students in perspective and how they see the world around them.

Thanks to all students who participated in this project.  Please enjoy photos of students’ excellent works.

Delegates met with Mr. Clarence Chan, School Supervisor, Dr. Cora Hui, Principal Cum Interim Head of School, Mr. Vinod Khiatani, Director of School Development, Mr. Gregory Lam, Director of DeSPACE (International) Limited and Mr. Alfred Chow of Design Vision Architects Limited (DVA) on Master Planning and School Campus Design and other school members. Dr. Hui and Mr. Khiatani presented our school mission, contemporary curriculum which stimulate learning environment for educating well-rounded Christian leaders and global citizens, development of international school education in Hong Kong and our school development in building relationship between school and community. CAIS emphasized the mission: “Realized through a learning community that embraces spiritual and traditional family values, our mission is to cultivate learners with knowledge, skills, integrity and discernment, growing in love for God and service to humanity.”

Following the meeting, the delegation visited the new and innovative CAIS campus located in Butterfly Valley, Lai Chi Kok, such as spacious and technology-rich facilities designed for experiential learning and immersive learning communities. They were impressed by our newly-built campus, school mission and the latest development. This visit deepened our collaborations with Shenzhen University such as exchange activities and field trips and built a harmonious relationship in the long run.

Belle shared with us her experience in the US Space Camp in Huntsville, Alabama and the Kennedy Space Center in Florida and the excitement of experiencing the tumbling and spinning in the “Multi-axis Trainer” allowing her to know what is like to be weightless and free movement in space. She also had an opportunity to meet with two astronauts Mr. Robert L. Gibson and Mr. Samuel T. Durrance during her trip to the US and got to understand the life of an astronaut.
