Lunchtime Reading Workshop in Celebration of International Women’s Day
Following hot on the heels of Ms. Emma Yeung’s thought-provoking sharing of The 57 Bus, the Reading Promotion Committee (RPC) organised its second Lunchtime Reading Workshop in celebration of the International Women’s Day. Our Visual Arts teacher, Ms. Wong Yuet Fung, and P.E. teacher, Ms. Chim Wing Lam, shared with students books about women’s extraordinary achievements in the fields of art and sports. While from Ms. Wong students learnt about how Yayoi Kusama’s art is inextricably connected to her personal life, Ms. Chim interwove her sharing of Taiwanese tennis player Zhan Yong-ran’s autobiography with her own personal experience, as she herself is an outstanding professional athlete (the team captain of Hong Kong Senior Women’s Volleyball Team!), who has pulled through many challenging moments to achieve her aspirations. The teachers’ heartfelt sharing had definitely kindled little yet powerful sparks within the bright young minds.
