The First English Morning Assembly (14th September, 2011)
Have you ever thought of commencing our new school year with a starry morning assembly? Surely you won’t be disappointed by our cast in the first Ka Chi English morning assembly held in the Mid September.
Echoing with the melody of our theme song “Positive, is the way to live”, two of our honorable hosts --- Miss Karen Eng and Mr. Calvin Eng began the assembly by showcasing their most renowned posture ---arm folding. With the elegant high heeled shoes for Karen, as well as the manly black suits and green ties for Calvin, their professional outlooks immediately gave rise to a series of speculation over their real identity.
Following the controversy was, however, a humorous opening made by the two hosts. “No, no, no! I’m afraid you’ve made a mistake. We are not Richard Eng or AmandaTan; we are Karen Eng and Calvin Eng, abbreviated K.C. Engs.”
These two hosts are actually Form Six Ka Chi students who were selected as the English ambassadors this year. With the aim of promoting a healthy, positive and energetic English learning environment in Ka Chi, these talented students were committed to plan and perform a mini-play named “KC Engs” in every morning assembly.
In the play, not only did the student ambassadors correct several common English errors made by “Chinglish” actors, students offstage were also invited to participate in the performance. They were asked to translate colloquial Chinglish phrases back to Chinese, such as “Let your horse come over” and “Homework do die me”. These funny English blunders successfully triggered the interest and responses from Ka Chi students. With the introduction of the English Award Scheme, some students even could not wait to fill out the work sheet in the hope of redeeming as many rewards as possible. The whole morning assembly was brought to the climax.
The crowd was united by the joint reciting of The Lord’s Prayer. Hundreds of students and teachers read the piece together with the heart of meditation and respect. This created a harmonious atmosphere which connected every student and teachers together like a family. The closing announcement, made by the Form Six ambassadors, seemed to pass the flame of leadership onto the next generation, recruiting more and more junior students to join the family. All in all, we are all helping each other to …………….
“Be healthy, be positive and be an energizer to others”!
