8 NET Scheme News Issue 48 Exhibition Day at Sha Tin Wai Dr. Catherine F. Woo Memorial School The life of a Hong Kong student is often a busy and demanding one. Between school projects, extra- curricular activities,and numerous competitions,it is rare for students to pause and celebrate their achievements. At Sha Tin Wai Dr. Catherine F. Woo Memorial School (STWDCFWMS), we aim to change that with our annual Exhibition Event – a two-day celebration that provides students with the opportunity to showcase their efforts to their peers, parents, and the wider school community. This year’s event was nothing short of extraordinary, spotlighting the creativity, innovation, and hard work of our students. Planning for Success: A Collaborative Effort Given the scale of the event,which involves participation from every member of the school, meticulous planning was essential. The process began early in the year with the selection of a theme that captured the spirit of the times: ‘AI, Innovation, and the Future’. With the guidance of our Advisory Teacher, who hosted an initial group-planning session and shared a story linked to the theme, the title of this year’s event was born: ‘The Most Magnificent Thing’. Collaboration was key, with teachers working both within their departments and across the curriculum to align the projects with the syllabus. Each grade level brainstormed ideas for eye-catchingproducts that would extend the students’ learning while bringing the theme to life. Lessons were carefully designed to guide students through the creation of their masterpieces, ensuring the process was both educational and stimulating. In P3 and P4, the collaboration extended even further. For P3, teachers partnered with the STEAM department, Visual Arts department, four other schools, and the EDB as part of a Learning Community Project. For P4, we worked closely with the NET Section to develop a unit on multicultural exploration inspired by the Multicultural Language Arts (MLA) Learning Hub.These collaborative efforts not only broadened the scope of the students’ work but also strengthened connections between departments, schools, and external educational organisations. Innovation in Every Grade: A Celebration of Student Work The result of this planning was a dazzling array of projects that highlighted the ingenuity and creativity of our students across all grade levels: P1 : Students were inspired by lessons on animal body parts to design their own ‘future pets’. P2 : Students took a leap into the future by imagining and creating models and drawings of futuristic modes of transportation. P3 : After learning about the new pandas at Ocean Park, students used the Delightex app to apply their coding skills and create 3D virtual panda enclosures. P4 : Following their MLA Learning Hub project, students became ‘multicultural explorers’, creating lapbooks about different countries and 3D art models representing their chosen cultures. They also used Suno , an AI tool to compose songs about the traditions and heritage of their selected countries. P5 : Students applied their knowledge of procedural texts to become inventors, designing unique new inventions while documenting the steps they took to bring their ideas to life. P6 : Students tackledenvironmental issues by producing 3D fact files about endangered animals, showcasing their commitment to sustainability and conservation. Each project not only reflected the students’ understanding but also demonstrated their ability to apply that knowledge in unique and creative ways. THE MOST MAGNIFICENT THING Student Exhibition
