ESF is proud to announce the return of its secondary schools music composition competition, inviting aspiring young composers to create original works that explore the rich tapestry of global music. This competition challenges participants to create a music composition that celebrates the cultural diversity of ESF and Hong Kong, drawing inspiration from local and global music traditions.

Theme: Around the World

Your composition should deeply engage with the theme of "musical cultural diversity." This can be interpreted in various ways, including but not limited to:

• Fusion: Blending distinct musical elements from two or more different cultures.
• Narrative: Telling a story or depicting a journey that highlights cultural exchange or migration.
• Celebrating: Paying tribute to specific cultural traditions whilst adding a unique contemporary voice.
• Exploration: Creating a piece of music to represent your own cultural identity.

Ensemble Specification

Compositions must be written for one of the following ESF ensembles. You may choose one of the following:

Big Band

• Saxes (alto sax 1 and 2, tenor sax, baritone sax), trumpets (3 or 4 trumpets), trombones (3 trombones)
• Rhythm section (piano, guitar, bass guitar, drum kit, aux percussion optional)
• Vocalist or soloist from above instruments optional

String Orchestra

• Violin 1, violin 2 (violin 3 optional), viola, cello, double bass
• Harp and/or piano optional

Senior Choir

• Percussion (tuned and untuned percussion, limit to 3 parts)
• Harp and/or piano optional
• Could feature piano or another instrument as a soloist

Students may choose to include other instruments in their ensembles (for example traditional Chinese instruments such as Dizi or Erhu) but should always compose with a final live performance in mind.

Important Note: The composition should be technically accessible to musicians at an intermediate to advanced school level, allowing for effective performance and interpretation by the ensemble. Avoid overly complex technical demands that might deter or be beyond the capabilities of the target performers.

Composition Requirements

• Duration: Compositions should be a maximum of 4 minutes in length.
• Originality: no arrangements, original compositions only
• Scoring:
  • Clearly indicate the chosen ensemble type and instrumentation.
  • Use standard notation practices (e.g., clefs, key signatures, time signatures, dynamics, tempo markings).

Submission Guidelines

Each submission must include:

1. Full Score (PDF): A clearly legible, professionally presented full score. Individual parts are not required at this stage.
2. Audio Recording (MP3/MIDI): A high-quality audio recording of the piece. This can be a MIDI realisation.
3. Programmes Notes (PDF): A brief document (maximum 300 words) outlining the composer's intentions, how the piece addresses the theme of cultural diversity, and specific cultural influences or musical features incorporated.
4. More details on the submission process to follow.

Judging Criteria & Process

Compositions will be judged based on the following criteria:

• Adherence to Theme
• Musicality & Artistic Merit
• Craftsmanship & Technique

Finalists may have the exciting opportunity to participate in a composing workshop and to try out their pieces with the ESF ensembles.

• Submission Deadline: 9 February 2026

Hi everyone!

We are the leaders of Sai Kung Stray Supporters, a new student-led initiative created with the hopes of making a positive difference in the dog adoption world.

This year, Sai Kung Stray Supporters is looking for dedicated, collaborative, and empathetic students from Years 9-11 who are open to take part in individual volunteering visits for Sai Kung Stray Friends. These volunteering events will involve helping out with garage sales, bake sales, and the adopting of dogs to inviting households.

The ESF Innovation Fair, or InnoFair for short, is an inter-school STEM science fair open to all students from Year 10-13 across ESF and the ESF circuit. The fair will be held in the PAC on the 7th of February, 2026.

InnoFair facilitates genuine research and sates scientific curiosities amongst students within the STEM field through research and experiment on a topic of their choice. Unlike typical science fairs, InnoFair provides every participating team with a STEM professor from universities across Hong Kong. The mentors provide guidance, feedback, and possibly resources depending on the nature of the research.

InnoFair is a fantastic opportunity for students who are interested in pursuing STEM in the future. Participants will be able to engage and build rapport with professors, investigate genuine research questions, and interact with like-minded science enthusiasts on the day of the fair. All students are welcome to sign up; any extensive knowledge or expertise in STEM is not required. You may choose to participate as an individual or in a group of up to 3 students. Participants are free to investigate anything STEM-related. 

If you are interested in participating, please sign up by using this form. 

Your responses will be used to inform the match-making decision for your professor mentor; thus, please complete the form to the best of your ability. It can take a while to brainstorm ideas and fill out the questions, so we recommend students start considering the form earlier! There are a limited number of spaces, and acceptances will be based on the plausibility of your project.

For further information, please refer to our official website and Instagram page @innofair, where more resources and information can be found. 

If you have any questions, feel free to contact us at innofair@rchk.edu.hk

Hi everyone!

We are the leaders of Sai Kung Stray Supporters, a new student-led initiative created with the hopes of making a positive difference in the dog adoption world. In Hong Kong, an estimated 40,000 pets are euthanised per year due to lack of housing alone; a tragic statistic which Sai Kung Stray Friends is working to improve  - but we need your help. 

This year, Sai Kung Stray Supporters is looking for dedicated, collaborative, and empathetic students from Years 9-11 who are open to take part in individual volunteering visits for Sai Kung Stray Friends. These volunteering events will involve helping out with garage sales, bake sales, and the adopting of dogs to inviting households.

We plan for 4+ visits to be held throughout the year, and spaces are limited, with Service Short Term offered for 2 sessions, and Service Long Term for 3+ sessions.

Dear Parents and Guardians of Years 12-13 students, 

I am writing to you about the provision of textbooks for the Experimental Sciences in the IB Diploma Programme. The Experimental Sciences include Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Environmental Systems and Societies, and for these subjects, at Renaissance College, we use one learning and teaching source: Kognity. 

The cost of the textbook is HK$720 and you will be charged through your e-payment account. No other textbook purchase for Science subjects will be required. 

Kognity enhances student engagement, with opportunities for pre-reading, follow-up after a lesson, revision activities, and practice exam questions, all of which can be monitored by the teacher. In addition, it allows agency, encouraging students to be more actively involved in their own learning and attainment. 

Yours sincerely,

Mandy So

Head of Sciences
