2008 Oct This year we have a number of students who are participating the 60th HK Schools Speech Festival. We have also been training two local schools for the choral verse speaking competition. We hope that all our students will benefit from the experience and we are looking forward to seeing some excellent results!

Today, we do not just offer classes for individual learners but also schools including Victoria Shanghai Academy and St. Francis’ Canossian and corporations including Reuters. Our success is a real tribute to group efforts. Our teachers, students and parents all share a common goal. Thank you very much to parents who have provided invaluable ideas for us. Special thanks to the English Speaking Board, schools and organisations that have been so supportive of us. Every compliment is a great motivation for us. We are looking forward to our planned expansion in Kowloon and hope to see confident faces in our classes. >>PDF ｜ HTML version July July has been an exciting month! Our Summer Workshops have been full. We have seen a return of some old favourites such as the Roald Dahl workshops and have also been trying some new ideas. Debating and public speaking courses were particular fun and Kate and Sanni have been exploring the fabulous world of Dr Seuss. Our Director, Jessica adjudicated at the first HK Speech Festival last month and was very impressed by the quality of the entrants. Organised by Mrs Elsie Tu GBS and Mrs Cerina Leung, the Festival culminated in a fabulous award presentation at the HK Baptist University. Speech Festivals can be a very positive experience for children if they are properly prepared. If you are thinking of entering your child in the HKSMA festival, please let us know and we can start practicing! Good luck to our students as they leave us for their new schools. We hope Jonas enjoys Harrow, Beatrice - Wycombe Abbey, Yiu Hei and Justin - Winchester, Max - United World College, Trenton - Sedbergh. We look forward to hearing your stories at Christmas. >>More June The Hong Kong Club Show on 4th June was a great success! Over 100 of our parents, guests and students attended the event and all of our students gave their best for the show. Our guests were really impressed by our students’ confidence and skills. Followed the performances was the English Speaking Board (ESB) certificate presentation and the presenter, Mr. James Ogilvy-Stuart, was pleased to celebrate the achievements and success of our students! >>More May The school entrance exams are over at last! Congratulations to our students, who will be heading off for Winchester, Harrow, Shrewsbury, Wycombe Abbey, United World College, Sedbergh, and St Mary’s in September. You have worked very hard and you can be proud of yourselves. If you are planning to send your child abroad to study, please let us know in advance so we can prepare them for entrance exams and interviews. >>More April Congratulations! We got another 100% pass in the English Speaking Board assessment! It is a real tribute to the efforts of our teachers, parents, and above all all our students. The presentations and readings were terrific. Standing up in front of a class is not easy but all our students have shown YOU CAN DO IT! >> More
February has been an exciting month for us. Thank you very much to the parents who have returned the parents' survey to us. We value your opinions and have been trying to create solutions to address your concerns. We want to give the best to our students and feedback from parents is the most effective way of making sure we are meeting your goals. >> More Jan Thank you all for your support, our Hong Kong Club show on 18th Dec 2007 was great fun. Forty Brandon students stepped onto the stage and gave lively speech to showcase their speaking abilities. It is always inspiring to see our students speaking so confidently in front of an audience; we are very proud of you! >> More |
