Before the start of Book Week, our Librarian, Ms Yoyo, organised a bookmark design competition to start the event. Students used their imagination and creativity to design their bookmarks, and each class selected the “most popular” bookmark. The “most popular” bookmark was then printed as an actual bookmark that community members could share with their families and friends.

Through Book Week, we are committed to fostering the comprehensive development of students under the IB holistic education framework. We encourage students to delve into reading, to acquire knowledge, to stimulate their imagination and creativity. A range of fun and engaging activities have been organized to make reading enjoyable for them, thereby cultivating their reading habits and interests. These activities improve their reading skills and comprehension, enhance their teamwork and communication abilities.

We believe that, as emphasised in the theme ” Escape to Everywhere”, through reading, students are able to broaden their horizons and gain a deeper understanding of the world’s vastness and diversity. They will be able to achieve balanced academic, emotional, social and physical development, and become lifelong learners with a global perspective and cross-cultural understanding, who will continue to explore, learn and grow, contributing to the world of the future.
我们坚信，正如“在阅读中看到更大的世界”这一主题所强调的，通过阅读，孩子们能够开阔视野，深入了解世界的广阔与多元。他们能够在学术、情感、社交和身体等多个方面取得均衡的发展，成为具有全球视野和跨文化理解力的终身学习者，不断探索、学习和成长，为未来的世界贡献自己的力量。
