On July 20, 2024, we were honoured to welcome the Principal, the Senior Tutor and Tutor for Admissions and a panel of tutors from St. Anne’s College of the University of Oxford for an open-day style event on ‘WhyOxford? – Meet the Tutors’. This event was open to everyone across Hong Kong, attracting over 150 secondary school students and parents.

After an interactive presentation comparing different universities and its education system, esteemed professors shared their top tips in demonstrating critical, analytical and logical thinking with simulated interview questions. Participants had an engaging exchange in the breakout sessions on their respective fields of interests across 11 disciplines, ranging from Asian and Middle Eastern Studies, Classics and Philosophy, Politics, Law, to Biochemistry, Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, Earth Sciences and Geology, Materials Science and Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics. They all gained invaluable insights towards the nature and mode of teaching at the prestigious institution.

By the end of the workshop, all attendees including Paulinians had a rewarding experience and were equipped with the essential information to pursue tertiary education and beyond.
