The Hong Kong Economic Journal recently published an article written by our Vice Principal, Mr. Wu Chun-ho. In the piece, he observes that within the school community there is often a group of “invisible students” — those who quietly follow rules and perform at an average level. Lacking a sense of recognition, they may resort to deviant behavior in search of attention. The author reflects that traditional education systems tend to overemphasize outstanding academic achievement, and advocates a shift from mere “error correction” to “capturing the glimmers of light.” He stresses that students who simply “do their part” also deserve to be acknowledged, thereby filling the gap in their sense of value.

To put this philosophy into practice, the school has launched the “Twist for Positivity” initiative. Through a capsule toy machine, students receive creative rewards such as “elevator passes” or “tuck shop priority coupons.” These tokens affirm rule-abiding students as well as resilient learners with special educational needs. Such warm and thoughtful actions embed positive education into the fabric of school culture, helping students understand that ordinary perseverance can also shine. In doing so, the school fosters an atmosphere where “effort is recognized, progress is affirmed,” safeguarding every student’s confidence.
