An amazing round of Deep Learning has been enjoyed by students.

They have completed a diverse series of creative experiences, extending learning beyond the classroom, and giving them the chance to explore and delve into a feature of the curriculum in more detail.

A Sport-E group has been learning snow sports at the largest indoor ski resort in South China. Another group has been learning about the street art of Space Invader, navigating Hong Kong to find some of his art and meeting real-life artists.

A History group has been travelling across the city, learning about key historical events which have shaped Hong Kong to be as it is today. An Exploring the Barren Rock group has been preparing students to become rock climbers. Handcraft students have been making skin care products and soy candles and a Paint and Stitch group has been learning to elevate their artistic skills by combining painting and embroidery on canvas.

A Technologies for Cooking group has been on a complete culinary adventure which not only expanded their horizons but also ignited a passion for the science behind gastronomy.

Other students have been taking part in watersports and learning the arts of woodwork, pottery and 3D printing.

Year 7 students all completed an introductory unit into wellbeing and positive thinking, which underpins everything we do at ICHK. Based upon the work of the Psychologist Martin Seligman, students enjoyed a number of different experiences designed to develop their understanding of Positive Emotion, Engagement, Positive Relationships, Meaning, and Accomplishment.

DL1 was the first iteration of what will be a total of four Deep Learning experiences for students this year. Every term they will enjoy a period of immersive learning, practical opportunities and real life experiences outside of the confines of the classroom, which we believe challenge many of the established norms of mainstream education.

We thank all the staff members who worked so hard to provide such an amazing range of learning opportunities.
