Thanks to the untiring effort of our English teachers in promoting writing, Oasis has become a culture in Pui Ching. Many students have developed the readiness to write. They are willing to write and they take pride in sharing their work with others. Some have taken contribution to Oasis as an important annual event. As the principal of Pui Ching, there is nothing happier and more encouraging than to see students love writing and to see life and creativity in their work. Time passes and the year goes. When a student no longer walks up and down the steps, what refreshes his youthful reminiscence may be the inspiration that has been planted in this student classic. Students, why hesitate? Open your minds to the world around you, be aware, read, be inspired and write.
