At the beginning of February, while students were still enjoying the Lunar New Year holiday, teachers and staff were busy preparing for the new semester. From checking enrollment records and preparing classroom logs to arranging meals and printing various documents, the efforts of the administrative staff were invaluable, ensuring the smooth operation of the school.
February 7 (Friday) was Teacher Development Day. This time, our teachers visited Sha Tau Kok, where they gained a deeper understanding of the area's historical background and current development. The teachers seemed to turn into elementary students, filled with curiosity about everything. They chatted and took photos together. Although the weather was cold that day, it did not dampen anyone's spirits. While visiting various stalls, teachers also contributed to the local economy—walking, buying, and taking pictures, all very different from their usual school routine. This activity not only helped the teachers relax and relieve work pressure but also deepened their understanding of Chinese history. At noon, we enjoyed a meal of authentic Hakka cuisine at a farm in Sha Tau Kok. The fresh ingredients and delicious flavors brought back fond memories. As a Hakka person, I felt particularly connected with the 12 teachers during this meal. I wonder how many students and parents are also of Hakka descent?
After visiting the farm, the teachers headed directly to Tai Kok Tsui to participate in the annual Lunar New Year gathering organized by our affiliated secondary school. Schools from the kindergarten, primary, and secondary levels came together to celebrate the new year. During the event, schools performed New Year songs, shared lucky money, and enjoyed delicious food, making it a joyful afternoon.
On February 10 (Monday), the new semester officially began. At the morning assembly, we warmly welcomed the new students, followed by class teacher sessions to handle class matters. One parent even made steamed cakes with coconut juice to encourage the principal and teachers, a thoughtful gesture that touched us deeply. Although the semester just started, school activities have already been lined up. We firmly believe that students must learn through personal experiences to truly internalize knowledge. For example, first-grade students have a planned visit to the fire station; older grades will have a musical titled "Language Special Forces - Arts Agents" performed in the school hall; and the 5A class has incorporated English elements into their physical education class to learn rugby.
The sixth-grade three-day, two-night graduation camp was held as scheduled. Students spent three unforgettable days with teachers and classmates in their final year of primary school. Seeing them mature and care for each other during the camp brought me great joy. Additionally, our football team achieved second place in a football invitation tournament at Tuen Mun's Hau Po Yuen Secondary School, showcasing the vibrant life of LTY students.
28 February this year is the last day of the month and also the big day for our Award Ceremony. For the first term. The purpose of the ceremony is to encourage students who have excelled in their studies and conduct, while also reminding those who did not receive an award to work harder in the future for a chance to go on stage to receive one. We will also invite parents to attend, allowing them to take photos with the students and share in their joyful moment. We firmly believe that for students to grow successfully, the element of cooperation between home and school is essential.
今年，我們還特別製作了一段新年短片，祝願大家新年快樂，身體健康，萬事如意！
This year, we also produced a short New Year video to wish everyone a happy new year, good health, and all the best!
