Orientation
Week
"Everyone
made me feel so welcome. It was an once-in-a-lifetime experience. I
don't think it's possible to get so many nice people in one place!"
"Fantastic
International Evening! The second years did lots of preparation to
welcome the first years, creating a memorable Orientation Week."
"Orientation
Week was daunting, overwhelming, scary, exciting, and exhilarating."
(Quotes
from recent LPCUWC students)
Orientation
Week is
dedicated to making our new first year students welcome, introducing
them to Hong Kong (both the city and its country park area), and attending
to necessary administrative things: making initial subject choices,
registering
with the nurse, going to Immigration Department to get a Hong Kong
ID
Card, getting stationery supplies and most important of all(!) stocking
up on pot noodles. Whether it be the highly entertaining No Talent Show,
the stylish Orientation Week Cafe, the energetic Sports Night,
the astonishing Hong Kong evening Orientation, the exhilarating Camping
Trips, or the extravagant International Evening, both first and second
year students
have enjoyed every minute awake during the week. It is by far the best
way to begin a great new year at a new school. The schedule of orientation
week differs between different residential blocks, but a typical schedule
given to a new student would
be:
