On March 4, 2025, the English Drama Team had the wonderful opportunity to perform its original play, “A Day at Maryknoll Museum,” in front of a select group of students, guest adjudicators, our Supervisor, Ms. Agnes Yeh, the Principal of Maryknoll Fathers’ School (Primary Section), Dr. Ng Wai Man and our Principal, Ms. Idy Sung. We were honoured and pleased to showcase our excellent acting skills and strong teamwork in front of such an encouraging audience, after 5 months of regular drama training by our NET, Ms. Cindy Chung. With 555 school teams across Hong Kong, the “Hong Kong Schools Drama Festival” is a large-scale drama competition that encourages schools to incorporate drama into their extra-curricular activities and teaching curriculum. Students have given their best efforts to the production and found the entire process memorable and rewarding.
