Drop Everything And Read (DEAR)

One of the main goals of the current curriculum reform in Hong Kong is to help students acquire a capacity for lifelong learning. To pursue such an aim and to help students explore and discover the joy and treasure of reading, the College has been implementing a school-wide reading project called “DEAR” (Drop Everything and Read) since 2002. We believe regular reading sessions can help enhance students’overall language skills, thereby paving the way for lifelong learning.

The DEAR lesson takes place during Class Teacher period. Students are encouraged to read different books and newspapers so as to develop extensive reading.

Apart from the DEAR lesson, a range of programmes such as book fairs, games and talks will also be organised by the library to promote a reading culture in the College.
