迦密中學詩歌班

迦密中學詩歌班早期由陳子謙老師負責。自1993年開始，由Miss Leung接棒(現稱鍾太)。成立以來受到不少同學的歡迎，也培養出不少熱愛音樂，在各方面有成就的同學。詩歌班是迦密中學人數最多的校隊，高峰期超過140人，分初級及高級詩歌班。，詩歌班提供具系統性及紀律性的歌唱和音樂訓練，透過團體合作，使同學得到全人的發展；更希望透過詩歌，培養同學對永生上帝的讚頌。

過去，詩歌班曾多次參加各界所舉辦的音樂活動，例如樂韻悠揚頌親恩晚會、香港電台第二台人間定格的現場直播演出、舉辦多次音樂營、於高山劇場舉辦的九龍城青少年才藝匯演；我們更先後排練了兩齣大型音樂劇—“夢斷城西”及 “Painting The Sky” (學校音樂創藝展參賽作品)，、2015-16參加了優質教育基金、香港作曲家聯會計劃合辦的「社區文化音樂創作培訓計劃」及2018/19學校演藝實踐計劃 ：「智遊未來 智遊未來 」英語音樂劇實踐計劃，更是令人難忘。

在對外交流方面，於2011-12期間，迦密詩歌班曾與到訪的新加坡”Greenridge Secondary School” 詩歌班團員進行交流活動，相方不單增進友誼，彼此更切磋歌技，交流兩地不同的文化，生活習慣和學習模式。再者，於2012 和2013年復活節期間，迦密詩歌班先後兩次與文化交流服務中心合辦跨境活動，與廣東省清新縣初中學校交流，進行音樂堂觀課，家訪貧困家庭(五保戶)，了解鄉鎮流動圖書服務，並為扶貧生舉辦「親子同樂嘉年華」，更實地體驗農耕生活，其後，與手鈴校隊到過日本交流，團員都獲益良多。

而音樂比賽方面，參加過華人基督教會“完美人生”、“結伴行”歌唱比賽、超新聲歌唱比賽及聯校音樂比賽等。詩歌班更是校際音樂節比賽的常客，每年與全港九中學對壘，對手包括不少傳統的音樂名校。本校隊員本着鍥而不捨的精神和勁隊比試。雖因配合校政，在練習場地不足，人手及練習時間的限制下運作，但歷年來卻蒙主恩待，獲得合唱及個人獎項的同學也不少，成績優異(由Miss Leung 接手領導第三年開始嬴得校際合唱獎項)。近五年間，詩歌班積極參加超新聲歌唱比賽及聯校音樂比賽，屢獲佳績。
