Activities are organised in various key learning areas annually in the hope of providing students with vibrant learning opportunities, e.g. Reading and Chinese Week, Sports Week, Religion Week, Art Week, Maths and Science Week etc. The Learning Activity Day is designed to encourage the whole school to venture out of the campus into the outside world, e.g. visits to external organisations and overseas trips, to expose students to real-life learning situations and broadening their horizons. 2. To realize their potential and develop their leadership skills, students are encouraged to participate in four main types of cross-curricular activities: Social Service Groups, School Sports Teams, Societies and Interest Groups, and other school events such as Talent Shows and School Outings. 3. To offer a whole-person development programme to students and nurture them the ten priority values and attitudes, the junior-form curriculum includes a course in student growth, whereas the senior-form curriculum dedicates a course to the theme of “living a colourful life through serving the community”, which is conducted through experiential learning, e.g. talks on Life Education, to instill in students important concepts such as the value of life and a positive outlook on life. Through talks and forums, students' moral and civic education as well as national identity can be strengthened. Ample opportunities are provided to students, including a large-scale, Voluntary Work Day, visits to singleton elderly by students, and Flag Days. The establishment of the VNET team also allows for systematic training and learning opportunities through the medium of voluntary work, making students more cognisant of the society they live in and inspiring them to care for others. 4.
