Dear Students and Parents,

Welcome back to another exciting year at VSA!

Whether you are new to VSA or not, let me introduce (or reintroduce) myself to you. I have been teaching at VSA for the past eight years. I mainly teach DP Economics and MYP Individuals & Societies. My favourite hobbies are reading, music appreciation, travelling, tennis. I am also the MYP CAS Coordinator of Years 6 to 10.

In the new school year of 2017-18, I will be MYP Individuals & Societies teacher of two Year 7 classes; I will also teach DP Economics -- one class of Y11 and one class of Year 12.

I have a very relaxing summer vacation, and I trust you all had equally exciting summer either here in Hong Kong or overseas. However, now is the time to focus on our studies. I'm sure you are all ready and refreshed for another year of exciting challenges!

Each Year group has a subject page where you can check the progress and homework tasks. However, sometimes the homework will only be given orally in the classroom to ensure that students are listening in class and not just relying totally on the computer!

Last but not least, I believe that a good character is a platform for a whole personal development. Thus, I hope every student at VSA to become a true IB learner , and grow to be an autonomous world citizen who is not just knowledgeable but also virtuous. Let's work together to make your learning enjoyable, and excel both in school and in life.

If you have any questions, you can look for me in Rm 824 or contact me via email: mwong@vsa.edu.hk

Cheers, //Matthew Wong //
