4 Shun Lee Catholic Secondary School Newsletter 2011-12 Mock Job Interview The New Senior Secondary Curriculum has brought numerous challenges to our school. At the same time, it also brings ample opportunities for students to learn and prepare themselves for their future. One of those precious learning opportunities is preparing students for job interview. Students take an active role in preparing themselves inside out, from getting their attire ready to practicing possible interview questions. Students step up to challenges by facing their weaknesses and fear. One of the most valuable lessons is preparation is always the key to success. Preparation for job interview is one of the key modules in English Language curriculum. It is also a significant process in everyone s life. There are so many books and online materials telling young people how they should prepare a job interview. However, Shun Lee teachers believe nothing is better than walking students through an authentic process of a job interview. In collaboration with the Department of English, Careers Team organized a Mock Job Interview Day for both Secondary 6 and 7 students in October. Before their big day, students attended a series of workshops related to job interview ranging from writing resume and cover letter, presenting themselves effectively, doing company research, anticipating interview questions to learning business SLCSS_Newsletter(2011-12).indd 4 etiquette and attire. To make the job interview experience more authentic, students were assigned a real job opening; based on which students wrote their resume and cover letter as well as did necessary preparation for the job interview. This year both Secondary 6 and 7 students strived for a post, Charity Officer, offered by Hong Kong Jockey Club. In their business formal, 240 candidates from Secondary 6 and 7 involved in both interviews and presentations. The highlight of the Mock Job Interview was the individual interview of the finalists. Walking with confidence into the school hall, the finalists were interviewed by a panel of four teachers. In front of their peers and interviewers, they exhibited their knowledge of the company and enthusiasm for the job. They strived to stay calm, to appear confident and professional and at the same time, to produce the best answers to impress the panelists. It is never an easy task for a young person who has no job experience, yet the five-minute individual interview has made a profound impact on the young candidates lives. The business formal our students put on has raised the curtain on their adulthood. In face of challenges ahead, our dear students would say proudly Yes, I am ready!

5 Singapore Study Tour There has been a multitude of comparisons between Hong Kong and Singapore in our society. The best way for the young generation to understand the two world-class cities is, of course, to see them in person. 40 of our Secondary Four students participated in a study tour to Singapore in April. They studied four major areas, namely environmental protection, housing policies, study life and cultures in Singapore. The delegates went to the Housing and Development Board to learn more about government policies on housing in Singapore. They also visited NEWater, Marina Barrage and Land Transport Gallery to see how the Singaporean government carries out different measures to reuse and recycle resources as well as reduce the negative impact of the transport system on environment. Students also visited Underwater World in Sentosa and Night Safari for a close and exciting encounter with marine life and other animals. They also experienced the multi-cultural facets of Singapore through a city walk in Little India and China Town. The highlight of the study tour was the visit to our partner school, St. Joseph s Convent. Our students introduced Hong Kong to their newly-met friends. They also had a taste of what studying in Singapore is like by attending lessons in St. Joseph s Convent. Young people from both cities exchanged their ideas in classrooms and broadened their cultural perspectives through a learning journey on Preservation and Revitalization. The delegates had a wonderful stay in St. Joseph s Convent and were impressed by the positive learning attitude of their Singaporean counterparts. Pass it on The friendship between Shun Lee and St. Joseph s Convent has budded since the study tour in 2010. Like last year, our dear Singaporean friends paid a visit to Shun Lee in May, following our stay in St. Joseph s Convent. The presence of SJC students filled our campus with joy and laughter. Sharing the same religious belief, the two schools decided to make the study tour 2011 more meaningful and educational. Young people from both schools paid a visit to the elderly living in Shun Lee Estate. Bringing along with their souvenirs, students from both schools warmed the hearts of the elderly with love and respect. During the visit, our students explained to their friends from Singapore about the life of senior citizens in Hong Kong. They also exchanged ideas of government policies on elderly welfare in both cities. The visit was a unique experience for students from both schools to learn and work together for a good cause. The Shun Lee St. Joseph s Convent Study Tour 2011 came to a perfect end but the Tales of the Two Cities does not. The friendship between the two schools is continuously blooming and students from both cities will set to learn from each other and pass their Christian values on through the study tour in 2012. Our students brought home more than souvenirs from Singapore, but living values for their personal growth and a wide range of knowledge and issues that have an impact on their daily lives, their community and even the wider world. The five-day journey has made a huge difference in our students personal growth and intellectual development. SLCSS_Newsletter(2011-12).indd 5

6 Shun Lee Catholic Secondary School Newsletter 2011-12 追求卓越 It seems scary for me to confess that I am hungry and foolish. Stay hungry. Stay foolish, said the late Steve Jobs. Recalling my past study experience, I find this an enlightening motto and learning attitude to share. Stay hungry. Stay foolish. They are essential to the pursuit of excellence. Why should we stay hungry and foolish? Before I answer this, let us first face another question. Why do we have to study? Do we study to pass or excel in examination? Do we study to get great jobs in the future? I m clear in conscience that neither of these was my aim in study. I study to pursue intellectual knowledge and, most importantly within myself that to know the world. I wish to discover more about the world where we will spend our whole life. Gradually you will be exposed to the wonders in the academic fields. So many things have happened, are happening and will happen in our world. You will be humbled by the mass of knowledge expedited by our ancestors. You will also be hungry for knowledge and yearn to explore virgin ideas in some academic disciplines. I underwent this mind-blowing process. Hungry and foolish, I thus was eager to learn and developed my interest in study. It propelled me to continue my odyssey of learning, especially when there were obstacles, because one can only relentlessly devote oneself to a field if he has interest and passion in it. Therefore, study a subject with interest, and if you do not have interest in it, develop it. Hungry and foolish, I explored different subjects and was incessantly amazed. For example, I was startled every time I met beautiful and poetic English words and sentences. Peeling off the seemingly alien language, I discovered the beauty underneath. Voracious for amazements in language, I held the dictionary and Thesaurus so frequently that I almost devoured them. Besides, in my study of A-level Geography, I even delved into geography books, magazines and international research reports in order to quench my hunger for knowledge related to Geography, including the indigenous tribes rainforest, social phenomenon in the USA in the 1970s, the town planning of the British government--virtually anything under the sun. How would I not feel foolish and yearn for more? Do not think that it is a waste of time to pursue knowledge beyond textbooks. In this pursuit, some relevant knowledge and academic sense will be internalized and nurtured in you. And they will certainly serve in exams and on unexpected occasions to come. Possessing these, one can be said to be truly excellent for he does not study for exam but can still excel in exam in which the relevant and additional knowledge is tested and rewarded. I think that it is this tiny bit of the things that has helped me pass the previous academic stops. Lastly, in essence, to me, the pursuit of academic excellence can be summarized in a quotation -- There is no other path to knowledge other than simply pursuing it and devoting yourself into it ( 學問之道無他, 求其放心而矣 ) (Note that the quotation actually means another thing. It just happens to fit this context interpreted in this way!) I hope you can achieve this. And I also hope that in your avenue to excellence you can stay hungry and stay foolish. Lam Jeremy Chun Lok 4A1B in 2010 HKALE Bachelor of Laws, The University of HK An alumnus told me during a seminar in my third year at Shun Lee about the meaningfulness and fruitfulness of being granted the Award for Young People (AYP). As I listened to him recall memories I also pondered about my future decision. What intrigued me most was the story of his journey and how I wanted to follow his footsteps. To put it simply, there are three separate levels of awards. I started from the Bronze, then Silver and lastly, Gold Award. There are four sections for completion; services, skills, physical recreation and expedition (which is the most strenuous). The Gold award had an additional section called residential project. As I progressed, slowly I saw my schoolmates trickle away, one by one brushed alongside the path but I carried on. In form five I reached Gold Award. The demands and trails were harsher than Bronze and Silver but I kept thinking back to the goals I set during that conversation. It wasn t always a smooth ride. In comparison, the tough mountain trail was relatively easy but the setbacks along the way challenged me greatly. The trouble was some lecture times for the expedition clashed my examination schedule. By missing those lectures I couldn t meet the attendance policy requirements. Ergo, I couldn t complete my expedition requirements. I prayed to God. As it turned out, one of the instructors was an alumnus of Shun Lee and gave me a chance to make up an extra field training. With the efforts of my professional instructors, accompaniment of my teammates, I climbed up Lantau Peak. Thus, I completed the expedition section and finished the other sections through the trainings and services of H.K. Adventure Corps and Military Summer Camp. In the end I received a tiny golden pin and certificate from the hands of Prince Edward. AYP is like the road of life. Though we meet lots of obstacles along our journey, and we may be forced aside but persevere, challenge limits. Strap on your pack and seize any opportunity to help. With sweat, fatigue and hard effort you may achieve your Gold.

7 One of my friends has left for New Zealand to further her study. She told me that her home stay father often asked her to go jogging with him. I have always dreamt of running at a breezy dawn. This summer I realized my dream. I spent sixteen days in Australia. I had lots of novel experiences in Australia. I spent two days in a farm and I really loved the tranquility in the countryside. Activities such as sheep shearing, horse riding and fresh butter tasting were all exciting to me who grows up in a busy city. Another unforgettable experience is my first meal in Australia. Guess what I ate? A SUPER SIZE burger! I was the only girl who could finish the whole big burger. I am really grateful to have such a precious chance to visit a foreign country. Apart from experiencing the Australian lifestyle, I have also gained greater confidence in communicating with foreigners in English. The sixteen-day trip is an eye-opener for me and I long for more chances to see the world. Let us seize every opportunity to learn and widen our horizons. S5 Choy Ting Ting Study Tour to Australia Have you ever tried to run a business? Last summer I became the CEO of a PR firm. I joined a programme, English for Young Leaders, organized by the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. The first lesson we had was about how to establish a public relations firm. We were given a task to promote Hong Kong to tourists coming from all over the world. We created a shopping mall named Extaza, and Casa as a hotel attached to the mall. Honestly, I found it quite challenging to set up a firm by ourselves and run the business as a CEO. I had to collaborate closely with my team members. I am glad that I could put what I have learnt in class into practice. The programme has fostered my creativity. I have also strengthened my leadership as well as communication skills. Apart from the challenges, the most exciting event of the programme was the evening cocktail party. All participants had to dress up for the occasion. The party was not just for fun. It provided another authentic experience for us to socialize with other guests for potential business opportunities. Being a businesswoman is never easy, but I do love the challenges! The programme has inspired me to learn more, know more and see more. To pave the way to be a businesswoman, I will equip myself with more business knowledge and practical skills. Definitely, languages are all we need. I will also work hard to improve both my English and Putonghua proficiency. I won t miss any precious opportunities to learn and improve myself. S5 Leung Yan Kei English for Young Leaders Programme Hong Kong Polytechnic University Let me have you attention! Please avoid using the following expressions in presentation: 1. Welcome to my presentation. 2. First, I will talk about 3. That s all for/ that is the end of my presentation. 4. I pass the time to the next one. 5. (Do you have) any questions? Are these the habitual phrases that you used in your presentation? Does this list impress you? You may be interested in the above presentation not-to-do-list. Actually, this was a part of the knowledge I have acquired from a summer programme. During the past summer vacation, two schoolmates and I have joined the English for Young Leaders Programme. It was a summer course held by the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. The participants were from different schools. The course aimed at teaching students to communicate effectively and present persuasively. We were taught some socializing and presentation language. After enhancing the communication skills, we were challenged to put theories into practice. I worked with three students from different schools. They were Zina, Bess and Carol. We needed to create a tourist attraction to promote Hong Kong. Our group created an eco-friendly hotel. During the presentation, we applied the knowledge learnt and persuaded the audiences that our hotel was innovative, stylish and exclusive. Besides sharpening my presentation skills, I have also gained a blissful experience the intriguing experience at the Cocktail Party night. In that evening, I experienced how businessmen introduced their companies and created new social networks. I needed to dress formally, wear high-heels and put on make-up. I really acted as a woman in business. It was a special and eye-opening experience. What s more, through communicating with participants from different schools, who were also my competitors, I have realized my weaknesses. The course has widened my exposure and helped me to make further improvements. This course benefited me greatly. I was delighted and grateful to have this chance to fulfill myself. I hope all of you would be courageous to grab every opportunity and step out of your comfort zone. Just remember, Adversity would be opportunity if you can overcome it by your bravery.
