Welcome Back – Year 8 Term 2

Welcome back; we hope you all had a wonderful winter break.

Thank you for your engagement and support with the (I)GCSE/BTEC options process in Term 1. During Term 2, we now look to further embed the students’ academic skills, preparing them for these (I)GCSE/BTECs, which will commence in August 2025. Alongside this, our focus for Term 2 is to support the students in completing and evidencing the Greenbird in Action award, which the Week Without Walls programme initiated: https://www.ayp.org.hk/en/join/green-bird-in-action/
