Time
for Play
With the objective to promote “Sports, Music, Unity”,
Endeavour House V Alumni
Association
organized a Bowling Day last August. Players were grouped in teams
and competed with “strikes” and “spares”, and, of course, “miss”. Wild camping is a
traditional activity of the House V Students’ Association. Inheriting this great activity,
a two-day wild camp was held at Sai Kung Long Ke beach in November 2013. They
did orienteering activities under the starry night sky and enjoyed the natural beauty
of the environment. It is hoped that even more alumni will join next year!
