After a long school suspension, we held our F.1 orientation day on 19th September 2020 before the resumption of face-to-face instruction. We held two sessions to reduce the number of participant at one time. During each session, the new F.1 students got to meet their classmates and form teachers in person, and tour around school campus under the guidance of Big Brothers from upper forms.
After 6 months of intense competition. The 35th Sing Tao Inter-School Debating Competition has finally come to a close.

Two of our F1 boys, 1B Li Li and 1C Yeung Chin Wing, entered the finals of the 14th Daily Readers Read Out Loud Competition organized by KEA Learning International Limited on 30th May, 2020, and we are pleased that 1B Li Li was awarded the Bronze Award in the Junior Secondary Section.
The competition is an annual event supported by Standing Committee on Language Education and Research (SCOLAR), which encourages participants from the schools in Hong Kong and Macau to be confident and eloquent speakers of English.
