Welcome to Year 5 2024–25

Dear Parents and Guardians,

A very warm welcome to all of our students and families in Year 5. 

The coming year promises to be filled with new learning and experiences. Year 5 offers an opportunity to cultivate independence and responsibility as a learner, in engaging and innovative ways. We will explore how the world functions around us in the ‘Full Power’ unit, embark on a journey into space during ‘Interstellar’, dive into the history and evolution of Hong Kong, and celebrate our unique identities in ‘What’s the big IDEA?’. With a wealth of hands-on learning opportunities, field trips, and a three-night camp experience, students will create lasting memories.
