Yesterday afternoon, August 14, 2025, the atmosphere at HES became more vibrant and colorful than ever with the first club meetings of the new 2025-2026 academic year. Despite the sunny weather outside, behind each meeting room door was a world of its own, full of laughter and a sense of community.

The highlight of today's meetings was the eager eyes and bright smiles of the Course 10 (K10) students. For the first time, they had the opportunity to choose and join clubs that matched their interests and strengths, bringing a wave of fresh energy. Overcoming their initial shyness, they were quickly and warmly welcomed by the older students from K9 and K8.

At HES, clubs are not just a place for after-school activities; they are a space for HESers to freely express themselves, pursue their passions, and develop new skills. This is where individual personalities shine, where creative ideas take flight, and where friendships are built.

This was an energetic start, promising an academic year of club activities that will be explosive, creative, and meaningful. Let's look forward to the exciting projects and events from HES's clubs!
