FHMSS English Department

We are pleased to share a report on the successful completion of “Library X English Manga Week” at our library in October. This event aimed to provide a vibrant and immersive learning experience for manga enthusiasts at school.

Throughout the week, we showcased a wide selection of popular English-translated manga titles across various genres, including action, romance, fantasy, and more. Students had the opportunity to explore these captivating stories and improve their English skills simultaneously.

One of the highlights of the event was the screening of selected episodes from the animated series “Spy x Family” during lunchtime for Secondary 1-2 students. This allowed them to not only enjoy the engaging storyline but also practice their English comprehension skills.

Additionally, as part of the program, we conducted a workshop where 20 students had the chance to learn and create their own comic pieces using various apps. This hands-on activity enabled them to apply their knowledge of both manga and the English language, resulting in some impressive and creative comic creations.

The students thoroughly enjoyed the journey where manga and English language proficiency intertwined. The event provided them with a unique platform to engage with their favoruite manga while enhancing their language skills.

Last week, a S6 Mock Interview was held in the conference room at FHMSS. Students needed to prepare themselves for the English Interview. They require to do a 1-minute self introduction and answer some questions in English. Students performed well in the interview.

Let’s ask the teachers where they have been to.

In this academic year, we have Ms. Chan joining our team with joy and happiness. We are all looking forward to seeing every single one of you after the long summer holiday!

On 21/2/2023, S1 to S6 students went to Sheung Wan Civic Centre Theatre to watch an original play of thrills, spills and laughs. Students participated actively in the after-show learning theatre which was conducted by AFTEC(The Absolutely Fabulous Theatre Connection). It was a successful play and the students had a new experience with interactive drama activities.

My name is John Rawlinson and I am delighted to be the Native English Teacher at FHMSS. I have been a teacher since 1998 and have taught in the UK, Spain, Japan, Qatar, South Korea, Myanmar and, of course, Hong Kong. I have lived in Hong Kong since 2006 and I am happy to call it my home now. I enjoy working with our students very much and I feel I can learn as much from them as they can from me. They inspire me to create interesting and fun lessons for them and I hope they can learn as much about the world as they can about English from me. If you see me around the campus, please say hi!
