To provide participants of this year's Hong Kong Schools Speech Festival (English Speech) with practical stage experience, the English department arranged for them to have rehearsals in the school assembly hall during lunchtime. During the rehearsals, two NET teachers and some English teachers were present to provide real-time guidance. Other students also came to the venue to enjoy their performances and cheer them on. This practical experience aims to enhance the participants' confidence, encourage them to prepare more diligently for the competition, and help them deliver outstanding performances on the day of the event.
