75th Anniversary School Carnival
On 25 February, Kowloon True Light School celebrated its grand 75th Anniversary Carnival at the West Kowloon Cultural District. The event aimed to showcase students’ talents, foster the True Light community spirit, and promote mental health education. Teachers, students, parents, and alumni from Kowloon True Light School (Secondary, Primary, and Kindergarten Sections) gathered together, with many members of the community also in attendance to support the joyous occasion. It was an honor to have invited Mr. Sze Chun-fai, Deputy Secretary for Education, to officiate the opening ceremony. The carnival featured over 40 booths, with significant support from The University of Hong Kong Jockey Club Centre for Suicide Research and Prevention, with its director, Professor Yip Siu Fai, participating in the event. Students promoted mental health through a variety of carefully organized games, sales booths, and workshops, with all participants actively involved. Some booths were themed around cultural and scientific creativity, entrepreneurship, and Chinese culture, and included a student product exhibition showcasing the artistic creations of students from kindergarten to secondary levels, as well as mini cheongsams made by junior secondary students, fully displaying the unique characteristics of the girls’ school.
The carnival featured a variety of music and literary programs, including a cappella, choir performances, zheng recitals, Chinese dance, pop dance, and singing games, fully demonstrating the students’ talents. There were also joint school performances and guest performance segments, bringing the event atmosphere to a climax.
The day also included the launch of a special edition publication on composition, mystery novels, and STEAM projects, where students shared their learning experiences, such as the process of creating novels and songs and insights from participating in science competitions in the USA and France. This provided attendees with an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the latest developments in Kowloon True Light’s teaching. The carnival concluded successfully amidst a warm and enthusiastic atmosphere.
