CMS x iSchool Student Exchange Program

The 4-day P.5 exchange program between Catholic Mission School and iSchool, Hainan, was successfully held from 9th to 12th December, 2025. This event marked a significant milestone in cross-cultural learning. The program commenced with a welcome ceremony where students were paired as "Learning Buddies," immediately immersing iSchool students in our school life and fostering genuine peer interaction.

A major highlight of the exchange was the "Ding Ding Community Tour." Students traveled across Hong Kong Island by tram, documenting the unique characteristics and history of different communities from West to East. This exploration culminated in a dynamic sharing session where buddy groups presented their findings using STEAM elements, showcasing their geographical and cultural insights.

During the cultural exchange session, students gained a deeper understanding of the similarities and differences in the daily cultures of the two regions by comparing the culinary traditions of Hainan's "Old Dad Tea" and Guangdong's "One Cup, Two Pieces." This not only enriched the students' learning experiences but also strengthened their recognition and emotional connection to the diversity of Chinese culture through the exchange. Additionally, iSchool students were invited to have dinner at the homes of their local student buddies, personally experiencing local family life, which further promoted cultural exchange and deepened emotional bonds.

The program concluded with a touching farewell ceremony and sharing session. We are grateful for the enthusiastic participation of all students and host families, whose support made this exchange a memorable journey of friendship and cultural discovery.

CMS x iSchool 兩地學生交流活動

本校與海南微城未來教育學校 (iSchool)合辦的五年級學生交流活動，已於 2025年12月9日至12日圓滿舉行。是次為期四天的活動以「學習夥伴」（Learning Buddies）計劃揭開序幕，讓兩地學生迅速建立友誼，並讓 iSchool 的學生即時融入本校的校園生活，促進朋輩間的互動與交流。

本次交流的重點活動為「叮叮社區遊」。學生們乘坐充滿歷史特色的電車（叮叮車）穿梭港島東西，實地考察並記錄不同社區的獨特風貌。隨後，學生更結合 STEAM 元素（科學、技術、工程及藝術）整理考察所得，透過多媒體展示他們對社區歷史與地理的獨到見解。

在文化體驗環節中，學生透過比較海南「老爸茶」與廣東「一盅兩件」的飲食傳統，深入體會兩地生活文化的異同。這不僅豐富了學生的學習經歷，更在交流中增強了對中華文化多樣性的認同與情感歸屬。此外，iSchool學生到本校學伴家中共進晚餐，親身體驗本地家庭生活，進一步促進了文化交流與深層情感連結。

活動最後在分享會與惜別儀式中畫上句號。謹此感謝所有參與的學生及接待家庭的熱心支持，令是次交流活動得以順利舉行，並為兩地學生留下了珍貴的回憶與深厚的友誼。

國家安全教育主題展覽與多元科學探索

本校全體學生於12月16日成功舉辦國家安全教育展廳參觀活動，旨在有效地加強同學的國家安全教育，並引導大家建立穩固的國家安全意識。學生們分批在歷史博物館內參與主題展覽，同時亦利用分流時間在科學館進行了豐富的多元學習活動。這些活動涵蓋了廣泛的科學範疇，例如：學生透過手工了解地球的結構（地殼、地幔、地核），學習閉合電路原理及安全用電守則，以及探討運動與空氣動力學（如單車運動員頭盔設計）。此外，學生們還研究了昆蟲的身體結構，並探索了眼蟲藻等微觀生命，高年級更深入學習物種的適應能力和二名法命名。這次活動成功結合國民教育與科學探索，為學生提供了全面的學習體驗。

National Security Education Exhibitions and Diverse Scientific Exploration

On December 16th, all students successfully participated in a National Security Education exhibition, aimed at effectively strengthening students' awareness of National Security. Students visited themed exhibits in the history museum and engaged in diverse learning activities at the science center. These activities covered a wide range of scientific topics. For example, students learned about Earth's structure (crust, mantle, core) through hands-on activities, studied the principles of closed circuits and electrical safety, and explored motion and aerodynamics (such as helmet design for cyclists). Additionally, students examined insect body structures (head, thorax, abdomen) and explored microscopic life like Euglena. Older students delved into species adaptations and binomial nomenclature. This event successfully combined civic education with scientific exploration, providing students with a comprehensive learning experience.
