          Our Champions—



          the STCC Frisbee Team





          This year, the STCC Frisbee Team was invited
          by the Hong Kong Ultimate Players Association
          (HKUPA) to participate in the Shanghai Frisbee                                            Delicious food in
          Youth Championship. I was truly grateful that our                                          Shanghai. The famous
          team completed it very smoothly and we won                                                 Xiao Long Bao!
          the championship for the Growth Bracket Group.

          On the first day, before the competition started,
          warm-up trainings were arranged so that our
          team could have their optimum performance in
          the coming matches. By the end of the two-day
          competition, our team began to trust themselves
          and in the end, they won three consecutive
          matches against Hangzhou International
          School, British International School and
          Canadian International School, resulting in the
          championship of the intermediate challengers.

          The matches on the second day started in the
          early morning. After the yesterday’s training and      Students said, “Shanghai Puxi looks like the Hong Kong Victoria Harbour”.
          matches, the team was exhausted and some
          were injured as well. However, the briefing and   encouragement given by the teachers and coaches before
                                                            the match played a vital role in raising their morale—we gave
                                                            up all our worries to God. At the beginning of the games, the
                                                            competition was intense. Luckily, the girls were agile enough
                                                            to get one more mark. Finally, they exceeded the opponents
                                                            by two marks and won the competition! Their faces shone
                                                            with confidence and the parents and cheerleading teams
                                                            cheered and applauded loudly. It was totally unexpected
                                                            that our team would win the championship.

                                                            Our teammate’s trust in one another grew because
                                                            of this, and their confidence and determination also
                                                            showed through towards the end of the games. They truly
                                                            demonstrated the spirit and resilience of STCC.


                                                            We end this sharing with our showing my appreciation to
                                                            the strict training given by Coach, Ms. Apple, in Shanghai
                                                            and a special thank you to the parents of our team Captain,
                                                            Raymond Yeung, for traveling to Shanghai to show their
