Our School’s "Newcomers"

Reviewing the first term, we find many new interest groups have been set up by some enthusiastic students. There are many different stories behind them. To let students have more recognition of them, we interviewed the representatives of the Comics Party and the Photography Society.

Students who like drawing comics established the Comics Party. It has been set up for about half a year. The Comics Party’s aim is to publish "doujinshi", and that is self-published comics, with friends who love reading and drawing comics. ‘ We usually draw draft for our comics. Sometimes we invite guests to share; for example, we have invited San, who is a famous comic artist in Comic Fans, one of the comic magazines in Hong Kong . She shared her experience of being a comic artist,’ one of their members said. They plan to publish a comic book between May and June and take part in Comic World 18 during the summer vacation. Comic World 18 is the largest "doujinshi" event in Hong Kong . A large number of co-players (people who dressed up, imitating characters in comics, animation or games) also like to join this event. Lastly, they said they would continue to do their duties, to achieve the goal of publishing their own comics. Please support them and their "doujinshi"!

Another "newcomer" is the Photography Society, which was set up by a group of students who had great interest in taking photos. ‘Our main target is to promote the arts of photography in this school. In a girls' school, not many students are interested in this field. Most students who take photos in school are just for recording their school life, but photography is not only for this purpose .We want to send out a message: “photography can be a mixture of art, science and life”. Now, we would like to bring this fantastic interest to our school! ’ So far, they have had a number of elementary courses to enhance their members’ photographic skill. The topics they have covered include common photographic equipment, shutter speed, depth of field, etc. They also had a lecture of Photo Impact to teach members how to improve photo quality by using the computers. Besides, there was a trip to Tsim Sha Tsui, taking photos of night views and Christmas decorations. ‘ For the next few months, we are going to visit the flower exhibition, practise the techniques of using the black room and hold a school photography competition. We will also hold a photography exhibition in our school in May. In the exhibition, we will display some of the excellent photos taken by our members. We would like to share our works with other schoolmates and to arouse their interest in photography,’ one of the members claimed. ‘Your participation in our exhibition would surely be a great help to our society. Please support us!’
