籌備多時的中小學英語節在12月21和22日順利舉行。這次活動為國際、香港和內地課程的學生提供了一個絕佳的機會，讓他們沉浸在豐富而真實的英語語言環境中。同學們參加了豐富多彩的活動，如點歌、表演、遊戲等。本次活動大大提升了同學們對英語學習的信心，在孩子們心中留下了珍貴而難忘的回憶。

This annual event, held on 21st and 22nd December 2023 for both primary and secondary sections respectively, is a perfect opportunity for our students, whether they are studying the International, Hong Kong or Mainland curriculum, to immerse themselves in a rich and authentic English language environment. Students participated enthusiastically in a wide variety of activities, such as song dedication, performances, and various games. The festival has greatly boosted students’ confidence in learning English and left an unforgettable memory to everyone!

今年，我們學校主要關注點之一是培養學生領袖。因此，英語節正是他們展示領導力的最佳起點：從策劃、組織和推廣活動，到設置所有遊戲攤位並在表演晚會上主持，同學們都把工作做得很好。在此過程中，培僑信義學子所展現出的創新能力及適應力非常值得我們自豪。

This year, a major concern of our school is to nurture student leaders. So, the English Festival is the best starting point for them to lead the way: from brainstorming for ideas, organizing and promoting activities, setting up all the game booths to hosting at the performance gala! We are proud of our students who have demonstrated innovation, resilience, and creativity in the whole process.

Song dedication

慶祝活動怎能沒有音樂呢？我們為中小學生準備了歌曲點唱節目，並安排了學生主持人朗讀了溫暖而感人的留言條。留言內容十分正面，有鼓勵同學們以勇氣和決心迎接挑戰，也有提醒珍惜彼此之間的友誼。歌詞與旋律回蕩在每個教室中，讓所有聽眾的心中充滿了力量和希望。通過這些活動我們漸漸地把良好的傳統建立了起來。

How can a celebration go without music? There were song dedication programs for both primary and secondary students. Warm and touching notes were read out by student hosts on campus TV to encourage their fellow schoolmates to embrace challenges with courage and determination and to treasure their relationships with one another. The beat and lyrics that echoed in each classroom filled the hearts of the audience with strength and hope. It is truly a good tradition we have built. 

感謝所有來自國際課程的英語老師。寰宇文化訪談節目由香港課程張副校長和國際課程馬副校長共同主持，外籍老師分享了自己國家的獨特文化。節目內容十分有趣，另外老師的分享也啓發並開闊了我們學生的眼界。這正好展現了我們培僑信義學校中西薈萃之特色。

Thanks to all the English teachers from the International Curriculum, the talk show titled “Cultures of the World”, anchored by the Vice Principal of Hong Kong Curriculum Ms. Kathy Cheung and the Vice Principal of the International Curriculum Ms. Mandy Ma, opened the eyes and widened the horizon of our students in a fun and inspiring way. Teachers of different nationalities shared the unique cultures of their own countries. It really shows that Pui Kiu Xinyi School is a cross-cultural conglomerate. 

Booth Games

最令人鼓舞的是學生在享受遊戲的同時可以運用到自己的英語技能。我們在四樓的有蓋操場和一樓的室內籃球場設置了各種攤位遊戲。學生可以參與並用英語交流、寫作、傾聽和合作，以贏取獎品。攤位的運作是由學生自行負責的，他們不僅設計了宣傳橫幅，還準備了遊戲材料。所有同學在進行各項交流、競賽及表演等活動時均展示了他們的卓越才華，同時他們也共度了一段難忘而美妙的時光。

But what is most encouraging is seeing our students enjoying themselves while applying their English Language skills. A wide variety of booth games setting up on the covered playground and Indoor Basketball Court engaged and challenged them to communicate, to write, to listen and to work together in English. Our students helped in designing the promotion banners, preparing game materials, and running the booths. All participants had a wonderful time communicating, competing, acting and performing while displaying their talents. 

Performance Gala

英語節也舉辦了一場晚會。參與表演的同學擁有非凡的才藝能深深地吸引觀眾！這次演出也是學校戲劇隊的首次亮相，他們出色的演出水準令人贊嘆，觀衆也掌聲如潮。最後‘聖誕老人’ 向觀衆派發糖果，傳遞節日歡樂，晚會亦達到了高潮，歡聲笑語充滿了整個劇場。

All the performers at the gala delighted the audience with their amazing talents! The school drama team debuted at the show leaving the audience astonished. The rounds of applause went feverishly throughout the show and the gala reached its climax when our beloved ‘Santa Claus’ spread festive cheer with candies to the crowd! Joy and laughter filled the theater as the curtain closed.

其他的現場節目包括故事演講比賽、辯論比賽、配音比賽、知識問答比賽和戲劇。各個項目也為學生提供了參與及展示才能的平臺。

The other programmes, including “Once Upon a Time” storytelling competition, “War of Words” debate competition, Dubbing Competition, Jeopardy Quiz and Theatre Games have also provided ample opportunities to showcase our students’ talents.
