Our Year 5 students hosted a successful Market Day, demonstrating their hard work and creativity. Each group took on essential roles, from planning and sourcing materials to marketing, production, sales, and accounting. The students not only learned valuable skills but also collaborated effectively to bring their ideas to life. A big thank you to our Year 3 customers, who were happy shoppers at the Market Day!

We were excited to then welcome parents to the school, where they could experience and celebrate their children's achievements firsthand. With such talent and determination on display, it’s clear we have many future entrepreneurs in the making!

What a busy Term 2 we’ve had, filled with exciting activities both in and out of school! Year 1 set up their very own shop, selling grass wheat grown by the students to CWBS staff, while Year 2 welcomed some special visitors, including a hedgehog, a scorpion, and snakes. Year 3 explored the M+ museum and experienced the fascinating Picasso exhibition, and Year 4 participated in a Chinese community walk in Hang Hau. Year 5 took a trip to Causeway Bay to learn all about advertising, and Year 6 is hard at work preparing for their end-of-year exhibition, taking meaningful action aligned with their Sustainable Development Goals and passions.
