I have lots of happy things to share now,
And I am going to say it out loud,
Enjoying school every day,
With plenty of fun things to say.
Playing together and telling jokes at school,
Which we think are really cool.
Laughter filled our classroom,
Fighting together with a broom.
When we hear the bell ring,
We get all the things we need to bring.
When the teacher finally came,
We still have to tell him our name.
We always look at the clock waiting for lunch,
Going to the tuck shop just for a crunch.
Sometimes going out to McDonald’s,
Calling my best friend Donald.
Spending our time with friends happily,
Helping with their work very easily.
Having fun with the teachers,
These are FLSS’s best features.
When we talk in class very softly,
Our teacher will stare at us angrily.
But we still find this funny,
Because all we have are our memories.

Time flies and it’s my 4th year studying in FLSS. Looking back to the early years, a time when I was still in junior school, I didn’t have any awareness as to my connection to our society and I was a TV game addict, immersing myself in the virtual world. But now, I have undergone a revolution and turned from a ‘caveman’ into a person who is willing to embrace new ideas in hopes of becoming better educated. This is attributed to my teachers in FLSS, who possess not only brilliant teaching skills but also an ardent passion for teaching.
The most stimulating and inspiring year I had was in Form 3. We had two lessons of philosophy a week. This really helped me widen my horizons and helped me learn to think more critically and more wisely. I never thought that there would be a movie review course before. The knowledge I gained was impressive and it has transformed my values and insights into an appreciation for art.
As for other lessons, I have never taken a nap because the teachers don’t simply cram us with excess materials and grammar rules. They teach in a lively manner, no matter whether it is History, Science, or Literature.
The best thing I’ve ever learnt in this school, is not about the structures of a sentence, the composition of chemicals, nor the logic of Mathematics. It is the principle that ‘School isn’t a place of assessment but a place where we ignite the fire in our youthful mind’.

I have been in FLSS for about a year. During my studies here, I came to realize that FLSS has become my second home. The people here are like my family, and they are really kind to me. I have not only learned a lot but also made many good friends. Whenever I need help, they are always there to give me a hand.
I am a recent immigrant to Hong Kong from Shenzhen. Although Shenzhen is next to Hong Kong, there are many significant differences between the two cities. I have had to learn Cantonese and adapt to the fast pace of life here. Honestly, in the beginning, I was frustrated and confused, because I was afraid that the students and teachers here would look down upon me, and I was terrified of being discriminated against. Luckily, I have gotten into a good school where I can gradually get used to my new city life.
Life in FLSS is rich and colorful. In my first encounter with FLSS, I found the teachers gentle, helpful and responsible. The atmosphere is harmonious and they talked to one another in a friendly way. I felt relieved as I saw this. As I started my journey in this school, I had lots of questions, especially questions regarding Cantonese. When I had problems with my homework, my classmates would teach me patiently, as if they were my brothers and sisters. Sometimes, when I got depressed because of having poor academic results, they would console and encourage me at the same time. I was deeply touched by this display of kindness and I love my new ‘brothers and sisters’ so much.
As for the teachers in FLSS, they are amiable and supportive. They always ask me about my studies and offer help when needed. When I got sick, my homeroom teacher would call me and ask how I was doing. Also, they are really good at educating their students. Not only are they good at teaching, but eager to inculcate proper values into our minds. I appreciate them a lot. Thank you, my dear teachers.
To show you my love in return, I will strive for excellence in my personal growth as well as my academic studies.
