The Student Council ’ s visit to St Paul ’ s College , Hong Kong
In March , 2 teachers and 15 Student Councillors from our school visited St Paul ’ s College in Hong Kong as part of the school ’ s Student Leadership Exchange Programme .
Participants had the opportunity to go on a school tour and to interact with the student leaders of St Paul ’ s College . They shared with one another the different Student Leadership programmes , an initiative implemented by the respective schools . Some of our students also shared about Anglican High School during the school ’ s morning assemblies .
It was an enriching experience for our students as they experienced life from the perspective of a Hong Kong student .
