Delia Memorial School (Hip Wo) - THIRD term’s highlight: Non-Academic Activities (Beijing Sports University & Cross- Disciplined Forces Training)

THIRD term’s highlight: Non-Academic Activities (Beijing Sports University & Cross- Disciplined Forces Training)

The top preference for students to join activities would be participating non-academic activities. Making good use of both school’s resources and community resources, we arranged numerous non-academic activities. To highlight two of such would be the Physical Education training for school’s sports team in Beijing Sports University and a cross-disciplined forces training organized by the Hong Kong Police Force. The following verbatim of the students explain it:

Since this was the first time for me to be travelling to Beijing, it was such a memorial experience to be able to train with my fellow team mates and to acquire new skills from very experienced coaches in Beijing. While being coached I have improved my techniques in the event such as shot put, javelin and discus which helped me to reach further. We were all pushed to out limits and the coaches really encouraged me and guided me to be my best self. I really do appreciate all the support and help from the coaches who made me realize that I am able to achieve what I have gotten through during the trip…… (Khalita)

六月二十三日田徑隊組織去了北京，總共十五個人去了十天的時間。（兩天來回坐飛機、六天訓練、兩天玩耍）這十天最令我難忘的是我們一起去長城，那天，天氣十分炎熱，爬上長城是十分艱苦的事，長城有很多高低不平的路，有高有低的樓梯，走樓梯時很危險，通過我們的努力都爬上去了。不管是中國籍的同學還是外國籍的同學都會時不時回頭看看後面的同學，並跟她們說小心點，注意安全，互相關心。我們每爬了幾分鐘就找個地方坐下休息，也等那些沒跟上隊伍的同學，然後一起拍照留紀念，同學之間有說有笑十分開心，那一刻真令人難忘。

我們還有去參觀體操運動員訓練的地方，她們各個都很高，身材也很好，她們是國家的棟梁，努力訓練，但她們背後的故事讓人感到心疼。（吃完的飯還要吐出來.......只為保持體重，更好比賽，為國家爭光。）這種堅持不懈、默默奉獻的精神值得我們每一個人學習。

這十天一起奮鬥，一起灑下汗水，一起喜悅。十天看似短暫，但我們卻學到了不少。訓練再累，也學會了堅持；同學遇到困難懂得互相幫助、照顧；有美食懂得一起分享；把對方當成自己的親兄弟姐妹一樣看待。。這一次的旅行很順利，讓我學會了獨立，體會到了一個團隊的團結精神，明白團結就是力量。

We hope you had a brilliant summer like our students.
