Sister School Exchange ｜ 东莞暨大港澳子弟学校与天主教母佑会萧明中学进行姐妹校交流活动

In the Geography class, students role-played and discussed whether different industries (including automobile manufacturing industry, drone manufacturing industry, information technology industry, clothing manufacturing industry, and pharmaceutical manufacturing industry) should set up factories in Hong Kong or the Pearl River Delta. Students actively discussed the advantages of Hong Kong and the Pearl River Delta to attract those playing the role of factory owners to choose their region. Through this class, students learned about the pull and push factors that affect industrial location.

在地理课上，同学们进行了角色扮演，讨论不同的工业（包括汽车制造业、无人机制造业、信息科技、制衣业、药品制造）该在香港还是珠江三角洲设立工厂。学生们积极发言，讲述香港和珠江三角洲的优势，以吸引扮演厂方的学生选择他们的地区。透过这节课，学生学习到影响工业区位的拉因素和推因素。

Students discussed challenges and opportunities for young job seekers in Hong Kong, focusing on AI's impact. In a lively group task, a mixed team (Siu Ming & ASJ girls) and an ASJ boys' team identified 10 pros and cons of AI – the girls' group excelled.

在公社课探讨年青人在香港找工作面对的挑战与机遇时，学生们特别讨论了人工智能（AI）的影响。课堂设计了小组活动：由萧明中学学生与本校学生组成的女生组，以及本校男生组，分辨10个AI带给人的好处和坏处。活动气氛热烈，女生组在此环节中表现优异。

When discussing AI's ethical issues, a Form 1 student from Siu Ming School impressed everyone with her clear, confident views. Her habit of proactively following current affairs showcased remarkable independent learning and broad perspective. The session was a productive exchange of diverse viewpoints.

当话题深入至AI可能引发的伦理议题（Ethical issue）时，萧明中学一位中一女生自信且条理清晰的见解，给在场的同学们留下了深刻印象。她分享了自己在课余时间主动关注和了解时事热点的习惯，展现出的开阔视野和自主学习能力，令人深受启发。这次交流活动，双方同学都展现了独特视角与学习热情，是一次富有成效的相互学习。

The "Building Dreams Together" Positive Psychology workshop used art to guide self and group exploration. Through four stages – self-discovery, understanding others, finding one’s role in a team, and jointly envisioning the future – students connected deeply. Expressing and listening fostered meaningful exchanges between the schools.

《凝聚能量 共筑梦想》积极心理学课程，以绘画为桥梁，引导同学们展开了一场深度的自我与团体探索。从认识自我特质、了解他人，到在团体中找到位置，最终共同描绘美好未来，四个环节层层递进。在表达与倾听中，个人与团体紧密联结，有效促进了两校学生之间的深度沟通与理解，意义非凡。

The students from sister school and our G7E class were arranged to practise the "water rocket" launching activity. The activity applied the science principles of "Air pressure" and "Action and reaction". Through the interesting rocket launching activity, students were encouraged to learn from games and apply scientific knowledge. The 17 students in G7E plus 10 visiting students were deployed into six groups. They decorated the rockets in the classroom, and then rebuilt it on the court and launched the water rocket in groups. From filling in water, pumping air, to launching the rocket, all of them showed great interest and participated actively. When encountering failures, students were able to find out the reasons in time, correct them and try again. It was believed that the students experienced a pleasant learning process and mastered the relevant scientific principles.

姐妹校的同学们还和G7E班同学参与了由老师安排了 “水火箭”的体验活动。活动应用了“气压”和“作用力与反作用力”的原理，透过有趣的发射火箭活动，令学生从游戏中学习，活用科学知识。本班学生17人加上来访学生10人分成六组。首先在课室内把应用器材整理妥当，然后由老师带领到球场，分组进行水火箭发射。由入水、泵气，到按键发射，学生们都踊跃投入。遇到一些发射失败的情况，学生也能及时查找原因，改正再尝试。在炎热的天气下，虽然人人都汗流挟背，但学生们都体验到愉快的学习过程，掌握到相关的科学原理。
