The overall result of the HKDSE reached a decent level through the concerted effort made by the teachers and the students. The performance of our students in the HKDSE reflects their diligence and dedication to their studies when facing the challenge of the pandemic. 67.9% of Pooi To girls have met the basic entrance requirements for admission to publicly funded undergraduate (33222).

To protect themselves and others, 72 of our students and parents are taking part in the Government's school outreach service for COVID-19 vaccination, and got their first jab at the campus of TWGHs Wong Fut Nam College. It is believed that making a concerted effort to build a community immunity barrier on the school campus helps provide a safe and healthy learning environment for both teachers and students during the pandemic.

The whole school embarked on a delightful and sentimental journey with Annie.

They all found the activities practical and wonderful.

S2 parents also acquired some practical skills in helping their daughters to manage their emotions and become self-directed learners by cultivating consistent reading habits. Afterwards, the talk delivered by Ms Daisy Leung and Mr Louis Yeung helped enhance the parent-child relationship by embracing a Positive Language Approach and letting parents know more about our school-based Positive Education curriculum.
