Canadian English Writing Competition 2022 (Arch Cup) is a scholarly competition that includes all primary and secondary school students in Hong Kong.

Eventually, in the final contest taken place in July, five of our students got recognised by their outstanding writing skills with 1 gold award, 1 silver award and 3 bronze awards among all elite finalists.
Results for the Final:
We are also proud that the concerted efforts of our talented writers have further brought recognition and glory to our school, which was crowned as the Secondary Division School Champion in the Arch Cup live Semi-final Competition based on the total scores of all participants. Congratulations!
Sharing by the writer of the Gold Award:
Top 10% in the final - that is quite an unexpected, pleasant surprise for me. My school results may not be top of the crop. Yet, I am glad to be encouraged to participate in this competition, which has proved English is not only about the score on the report card, but a tool to communicate and to connect people all over the world. Most of the topics in this competition are social issues or controversial topics for debate. When working on an essay, live in the contest arena, I found English is no longer a scoring tool, but the exquisite receptacle that carries your intricate ideas. Maybe, as my schoolmates said, my English has flaws and mistakes. Still, the imperfection does not prevent me from channeling my thoughts in English, and I am too grateful to be rewarded by the Gold Award from the English Association of Asia as recognition of my competence as an effective communicator in English.
Therefore, I highly encourage students not to care too much about how others or yourself could have judged you, as only you and your achievements can define yourself.
