CWBS

Our students recently completed an inspiring digital art project using shadows as a metaphor to represent their future aspirations. After photographing themselves, students used Apple Pencils and drawing tools in Keynote to sketch imaginative "shadows" of their future selves—like a focused scientist or a creative artist—onto the background. This engaging activity beautifully blended digital literacy with self-reflection, allowing students to visualize their big dreams for tomorrow!

Our students delivered three outstanding performances of this year’s school production, The Button Box. Performing for fellow students, staff, and parents, they took the audience on an musical journey around the world through song, dance, and acting. A big shoutout to the Upper School Choir for providing such excellent musical support.

We would like to extend a massive thank you to our guest director, Ms. Mandy Petty, and our very own Ms. Whiting for their exceptional leadership, guidance, and dedication throughout months of rehearsals.

Congratulations to the entire cast and crew! You showed us how much magic and adventure can come from a small box.

CWBS was delighted to once again host the Kowloon Kids Conference this year, bringing together Tech Leader representatives from CWBS, Shatin Junior School, RCHK, and Bradbury School. The event featured high-energy sessions including a fast-paced Demo Slam and an impressive Techxhibition. This unique gathering provided a vibrant platform for students to share their diverse passions for technology, ranging from creative coding to digital problem-solving on issues like traffic congestion, 3D design and printing, renewable energy, and F1 sustainability.

Young innovators collaborated and inspired one another to think outside the box. Beyond the gadgets, it was a great opportunity for networking and making new friends across schools. The variety of ideas on display proved just how much talent exists within our student tech community!

Market Day is a Year 5 highlight that celebrates student growth across two units of inquiry. Last week, our students confidently presented their products, adverts, and business plans to their parents and later sold their products to Year 3 students. We were impressed by their creativity and their confident application of knowledge. Well done on an outstanding achievement!

We are delighted to see our students enjoying the newly installed turf in the school playground. This vibrant, green addition has quickly become a favorite spot for the school community, with students enjoying everything from picnics to active play.

We look forward to seeing many more games, lunch-hour chats, and outdoor learning opportunities on our new playground turf.

Hello from Chengdu!

A group of Year 5 students, accompanied by Ms Jeynes, Ms Yuan, Ms Li, Ms Wu, Mr Gay, and Ms Teresa, are currently in Chengdu for a week of immersive learning and cultural connection.

A central part of the journey has been our visit to our sister school, Panda Road School. The group was warmly welcomed by an assembly featuring a variety of performances, after which CWBS and Panda Road School students enjoyed a friendly football match, providing a wonderful opportunity to build friendships. Our students are also joining classes to experience school life firsthand.

Beyond the classroom, the group is exploring the city’s significant landmarks and history, including the Sanxingdui Museum, Wuhou Temple, and People’s Park. Of course, no trip to Chengdu would be complete without a visit to the Panda Sanctuary to learn about the care and conservation of these endearing giant pandas.

We can’t wait to have everyone back on campus and are excited to hear the students share their new discoveries, personal highlights, and everything they have learned from this wonderful cultural adventure.

Things got seriously colourful this week in Year 3. The students have been experimenting with a range of artistic styles, discussing what makes each artist unique, and comparing calm, steady techniques with more energetic approaches.

A particular highlight was their Jackson Pollock–inspired artwork, where they explored action painting, enjoying splattering, dripping, and flicking paint to create a striking collaborative class piece.

More school sports update! The boys kicked off this week’s double-header of basketball events at a very picturesque Yuen Wo Playground in Sha Tin on Wednesday. CWBS was once again well represented with two teams among the 18 in total competing for the championship.

After a blistering start of 3 victories in a row, both our teams finished the day having won half of their matches and narrowly missing out on a place in the semi finals. We competed incredibly well in every game and our players should be very proud of their performance and attitude throughout.

Thanks as always to our wonderful parent support who were there to cheer on our student athletes and Mr.Pattison and Mr. Williams for coaching the squad.

It’s been an action-packed stretch for CWBS sports! From Discovery Bay to Pok Fu Lam and Tai Po, our student-athletes have been out in full force, showing remarkable grit and sportsmanship across three sports events. At the HKPSSA Cross-Country Championships in Discovery Bay, our runners battled fierce competition and warm conditions to smash their personal bests, and that momentum carried right into the Tai Po Cross-Country Festival. We are so proud to celebrate our top finishers: Ho Lam took 1st place, followed by Leonard in 2nd, Charles in 3rd, and Spencer in 5th. Huge congratulations also go to Sophia, Amber, and Antoine for their outstanding top-5 finishes!

The energy continued at the HKPSSA Tag Rugby Championships at Stanley Ho Sports Ground, where CWBS stood out as the only school to field three full squads. Our Boys A team finished the day unbeaten, while our Boys B team made fantastic progress and our Girls team earned a well-deserved 3rd place finish in their group.

A massive thank you to Mr Gay, Mr Williams, and Mr Pattison for their dedication to the teams throughout the ECA program. Finally, a huge shout-out to the families who made the long trips to Lantau, Tai Po, and Pok Fu Lam, having you there on the sidelines to cheer means the world to our young athletes! Go CWBS!

Last Friday, our school turned into a living storybook for Book Character Day! The playground and classrooms were full of creativity as students and staff dressed in amazing outfits inspired by their favorite stories. We held a Character Catwalk where students had a chance to feature their unique costumes and share their characters with the whole school. It was such a fun way to celebrate reading and bring our favorite books to life!
