About

Introduction

Taking place every summer since 2004, Typhoon Club Summer Courses have become a ‘must do’ for thousands of Hong Kong P1 to P6 students. 

Students work in small groups under the supervision of their team leader. Courses provide an opportunity for students to socially engage with one another when visiting places of educational interest each morning. Under the guidance of a native English teacher, they write about their experience in the afternoon either within a classroom or Zoom format depending on the circumstances. Each student’s writing is collected, edited and developed into a 12-page print magazine.

Schedule

Students gather at the designated meeting point each morning and are greeted by their team leader. The Typhoon Club coach takes them to a different location of educational interest each day. Upon arrival, students complete specially designed worksheets with the support and guidance of their team leader. Mondays and Fridays are full-day excursions. Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays begin with a morning excursion followed by a 90-minute writing lesson in the afternoons. These are delivered either in a classroom or via Zoom depending upon the current circumstances. Throughout the day, students are encouraged to socialise and engage within an English-speaking environment.
