House Election
The election of the executive members was successfully held on September 16. The outgoing house captains of each house reported on the activities held in the last academic year. After a few weeks of preparation, the new committee members of each house introduced themselves to the whole school. Creative video clips showing support from students and teachers were shown by them. It was truly an exhilarating experience for all of them and the hall was filled with excitement with students and teachers cheering for their respective houses. May God grant the student leaders wisdom to serve as role models for our fellow Franciscans.
Congratulations!
SA Election
The election of the executive committee of the Student Association was successfully held on 8 September 2022. After months of preparation, the proposed cabinet, Urania, showcased their fruitful achievements on the stage. Having gone through a Q&A session prepared by the current SA exco and two challenging game sessions where they had to finish the predesigned tasks within a limited time, the potential executive committee displayed a strong team spirit, confidence and dedication to serve the fellow Franciscans. According to the constitution, Urania, being the only cabinet running for the election this academic year, automatically becomes the executive committee of the Student Association of the academic year 2022-23.
Congratulations to Urania!
Form 1 Orientation and Parents’ Day
The programme began with our Principal, Mr. Law’s speech to welcome the Form One girls and parents to the big family of St. Francis’ Canossian College. This was followed by the sharing by teachers of various functional teams giving useful information that will surely help our newcomers thrive and succeed in St. Francis’. Thereafter, students and parents got the opportunity to meet their respective Form Teachers in the classrooms. A thirty-minute session with the teachers marked the beginning of building a good rapport between Form Teachers, students and parents.
We wish our Form One students a fruitful and enjoyable school life in St. Francis’!

After a series of engaging warm-up activities, students were ready for outdoor adventures that aim at boosting team spirit and enhancing leadership skills. The end of this fruitful half-day programme marked the beginning of their way to becoming competent leaders.
Through engaging in meaningful and challenging tasks, we were enlightened. I am amazed by the power of perseverance and teamwork, and how fun can be derived from overcoming obstacles and solving problems together.

English Fun Day
It has been a fun and fruitful day for Franciscans! Following the flag raising ceremony and St. Francis Feast Day celebration, the whole school gathered at the basketball court for the kick-off ceremony of the English Fun Day. As our principal Mr. Law and our guests from Headstart popped the confetti cannons, the festival began!
Creativity and artistic flair of our students were manifested through the Twelve game booths designed and set up by senior form classes. Our Student English Ambassadors were all around the campus charismatically and cheerfully conversing with guests and students. Festivity and blissfulness filled every corner of the school. From classrooms to the amphitheater, from the English cafe to the classrooms where iPad games were played, students and teachers were having fun chatting and playing games in English!
The long queue in front of the prize-redemption counter was another amazing sight! Indeed, the radiant smiles and cheerful noises are the best rewards!
Special thanks to our Primary Six students from SFCS for joining us on this special day!

Christmas Celebration
The Christmas Celebration was successfully held on 21st December, 2021. This has been a day that Franciscans look forward to every year. The whole school gathered in the hall and enjoyed the Christmas vibes together with all teachers and schoolmates. A brand new event, the Christmas showcase, was organised this year, allowing students to unleash their hidden talents through performing with teachers on stage! An array of performances including dancing, singing and drama were staged. Festivity filled the hall as everyone cheered and applauded for the magnificent performances. We were amazed not only by the hidden talents of the performers, but the close bonding they had established. The lucky draw and the fascinating games prepared by the Student Association added lustre to the day. May these precious moments shared among Franciscans be our drive to work hard, live well and go far!

Leadership training camp for club exco members
The training camp kicked off with Student Association leading participants to have some warm-up games. Then, the mentors introduced some exciting games to consolidate exco members’ leadership skills such as collaboratively managing several difficult movements, catching neighbour’s ball in a circle, etc. We were fully engaged in team building games and giving our best efforts in order to win. Yet, we earned not only points, but trust among team members. What a fruitful day!

Leadership workshop for team leaders
This workshop aims at strengthening team leaders’ public speaking skills. We are glad to have Mr VivekMahbubani as our guest speaker. He illustrated ways to speak with a sense of humour and boosted our confidence through various activities such as observation and role plays. Near the end of the workshop, participants paired up to have a “sell-my-friend” exercise. Students were asked to present their partner’s interests and one hidden fact in a funny way. We have not just had lots of fun, but also become funnier speakers. His comedy tips has worked magic!
