Time: 2019.01.07

Forty students from classes 4A and 4B underwent regular practice sessions in

preparation for the Secondary 3 and 4, Mixed Voice Choral Speaking competition in the

70th Hong Kong Schools Speech Festival (English Speech). The poem chosen for

the class was How to Ask for a Hamster written by Valerie Bloom. It offered a youthful

enactment of the various strategies employed by a child to secure a pet, in spite

of a mother’s skeptical predisposition. Training was spread over a three-month period,

leading up to the competition date on 19th December, 2018. Seasoned adjudicator, Mr.

Jonathan Owen, complimented the S.4 students on their delivery of the poem.

He attributed “lovely control, pace, focus and energy, shared with skill and

precision” to the winning group. The announcement of the team’s first place award

was a pleasant and welcome surprise to all students. Assistant Principal, Mr. Brian Ho,

applauded the students for delivering the best rendition of the poem that he had

seen them perform during rehearsals, on the day of the competition. By participating in

the competition, the QCOBASS students have earned recognition for the efforts they

made and gained experience in performing on stage. They can look ahead with a

sharpened focus and the knowledge that achievement comes when one fully applies 

one’s self.
