    Daily Dose of Music Activities: <\/strong><\/p>\r\n

    When you first step into the school entrance in the early morning (around 7:45 am), you will hear a variety of music performances at the Music Corner,<\/strong> where our students showcase their musical gifts to teachers and students.<\/p>\r\n

     <\/p>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”16161″ img_size=”full” css=””][vc_column_text css=””]\r\n

    The newly formed music band, FAC, is performing at the Music Corner.<\/p>\r\n

    After entering the campus entrance, you will see Hall 2 on your right-hand side, which is a classroom equipped with excellent sound and a computer system. Throughout the academic year, music lessons and various music activities, such as the Orchestra and Handbell & Handchimes team, utilize Hall 2.<\/p>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator css=””][vc_column_text css=””]\r\n

    When you go to the second floor, on the left-hand side, you will see Hall 1. In Hall 1, we have a newly installed Organ<\/strong>, and students can take Organ lessons and play the organ for the assembly, as well as participate in various community performance opportunities. Furthermore, students have different opportunities to perform on the Organ and other instruments in the community, which teachers and coaches will arrange.<\/p>\r\n

    During the week, different ensembles are doing various kinds of training to prepare for performances and competitions. Still, we have many enjoyable times learning and growing together.<\/p>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”16163,16162,16164″ img_size=”medium” css=””][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]\r\n

    The Choir<\/strong> has been established for many years and has won different prizes in competitions. For instance, in the 2024-25 school year, it participated in the Secondary School Junior Division at the Hong Kong Inter-School Choral Festival competition cum masterclass and joint school music competition, where both won the Silver Award. In the coming years, they will be participating in more community performances and events. Stay tuned!
