28th December 2008 – 3rd January 2009, Ru Yuan Senior High

You all knew the movie Sound of Music.

You have all been to Ru Yuan Senior High.

Imagine the 2 mixed together. Magic it became.

In 4 days, 100 kids at Ru Yuan toiled over the lyrics of 5 songs, learnt the steps to a same number of dances; and produced a collage of portraits of their heroes. And it was all done in English.

It was not perfect, but boy, did we have fun? So did the teachers, the parents, the guests from Hong Kong, the 2,000 odd students who came, and above all, the 100 who performed.

In 4 days, we all learned something. The performers learnt not only the songs and the dance, they also learnt how to accept the guidance of their teachers, to trust each other and to help each other resolve their difficulties. The teachers from England learnt bits about the Chinese people and its culture. And we learnt to enjoy our relationship with the school, the entire school.

Thank you everyone.
