Our Grade 3 scientists stepped into the secondary school science lab for an unforgettable hands-on dissection experience! As part of their Unit of Inquiry into healthy choices, students explored real organs up close.

The Scientific Journey:
🧠 Curious & Courageous — Suited up in lab coats and safety goggles, our young scientists wielded tweezers with confidence, examining organs with genuine wonder and focus.

🤝 Stronger Together — Working in small groups, students showed outstanding collaboration, thoughtful communication, and careful respect for lab safety protocols.

💡 Connecting the Dots — This immersive experience brought classroom learning to life, sparking big questions, bold insights, and a deeper understanding of real-world biology.

We couldn't be prouder of the maturity, critical thinking, and scientific spirit our Grade 3 cohort brought to the lab. The future is in great hands! 👏🧪✨

**To comply with social media safety guidelines regarding graphic content, these photos were edited using AI to replace the real dissection specimens with clean, educational anatomical models.**

As part of our 25th anniversary programme our primary school students created mini books for their future selves and others to read. Curious about what our future world might look like, students were keen to ask questions - do you have flying cars? - did we meet the UN SDG’s? - how is climate change affecting you? 🌍✨

They also thought about leaving a mark for their future self and added signatures, thumbprints, locks of hair and other artefacts to the collection.

All items were placed into a purpose built time capsule which was cleverly designed, laser engraved and fashioned into a leather bound 3D book shape by Grade 7 students from the ‘Flexlective: Make Anything’ design team.

What a fantastic way to celebrate 25 years of literacy at HKA! ❤️

Student Spotlight: Luca Achieves Prestigious Silver AYP Award🏆

We are thrilled to celebrate the outstanding achievements of Luca, who was recently awarded the prestigious Silver Hong Kong Award for Young People (AYP). To earn this honor, Luca demonstrated exceptional dedication, resilience, and community spirit across four rigorous sections over a minimum of six months.
LUCA'S SILVER AYP JOURNEY

Culinary Creativity & Community Service 👍

For his Skill section, Luca spent one hour a week over six months mastering the culinary arts, developing valuable life skills in kitchen safety and meal preparation. Equally impressive was his commitment to giving back. Luca dedicated one hour per week for six months to community service, splitting his time between two fantastic causes: Crossroads Foundation: Assisting with global humanitarian aid and logistics. Sai Kung Stray Friends: Supporting local animal welfare and shelter operations.

Athletic Grit & Island Exploration
Luca took to the water for his Physical Recreation component. He committed to a minimum of one hour of intense outrigger paddling training every week for six months, significantly boosting his fitness, strength, and teamwork skills.The pinnacle of his journey was the Adventurous Journey section. Luca successfully completed a grueling 3-day, 2-night hiking and camping expedition across the rugged terrain of Lantau Island. This required total self-sufficiency, route navigation, and team cooperation in the great outdoors.

Please join us in congratulating Luca on this fantastic milestone! His perseverance serves as a wonderful inspiration to the entire school community.👏

The team comprises 14 dedicated students from Grade 6 and Grade 7, many of whom have been nurturing their love for literature together since their days in the Primary BoB team.

Having spent months reading and analysing the texts, our team of avid readers all displayed deep understanding and knowledge of the 20 books on the BoB reading list. They worked together as a team to ensure they answered accurately and quickly through 6 high stakes rounds of competition against 21 other top tier schools to come out on top today. Well done team 💡

They also impressed their parents through hands-on activities including math demonstrations, read-a-loud sessions, virtual simulations and more.

They also spoke to their Global Citizens Diploma elements demonstrating how they balance academic milestones with wider community commitments, personal wellness, and active participation.

Grade 10 Personal Projects: A brilliant display of independent thinking, creativity, and personal passion, highlighted our students' academic and personal development. 🎓
