meeting new friends were one of my biggest achievements however I had some challenges with communicating as a team to process with our athletic drills. I had high hopes and I think that this activity met them perfectly, I learned communication skills that will stay with me for life

My biggest achievements was making many friends and building stronger bonds with them, before the week I only knew 3-4 friends but now I think that most people in our group are friends, My biggest challenge was waking up very early and travelling through hong kong through public transport, Everyday I had to wake up at 5:45 which was really early so I learnt to sleep early and get a good night rest, My expectations for this week was to make some friends and have a good time which I think it worked out well since I had a really good time and had fun.

My biggest achievement that week was getting to the area via public transport. The biggest challenge was trying to find my way back from the sports ground. I don't think that I will ever use any of the skills I learned from Explorer Week because most of them are sports that I don't ever play.

Making new friends and getting an award was one of my biggest achievements. However, I had some challenges with leadership skills and I am always a follower. I had high expectations on the activites and the food. I learned that my social and communication skills always matter.

The biggest achievement is making friends with new people. The biggest challenge was people with high egos that I sadly couldn't stand but got more calm over somehow. I learned to stay calm against horrible conditions. I feel like Explorer week was interesting and very fun over the time it took place over.

I have done a lot of different kind of sports that I have never experienced and found fun in doing sport. My biggest challenge is to wake up so early and get to the HKFC. I have learnt to sleep early and learnt to manage my time. My expectation is to do a good job in sports and I think I have done it quite well even through I wasn't so good at them like others do. And also, I have enjoyed the explorer week a lot

My biggest achievement over the week was being able to collaborate with others well and learn and master lots of sports. My biggest challenges was collaboration and teamwork as I always had to talk, help and support others. However I did learn to always be there for others and be acknowledging. I developed lots of skills like team effort and better stamina. My expectations for the activity were hard drills and continuous training. My skills can help me with others like team sports such as doubles in ping pong and badminton. I will continue to do lots of sports daily. The benefits of this training can help me in the real world in various scenarios besides sports. The elements that I learned was collaboration, teamwork, caring, and sportsmanship.

My biggest acheivment of the week was learning to collaborate with people. the biggest challenge was trying to make new friends. i loved the food because it was very yummy. i think that waking up early and going there was also a challenge because getting up a lot earlier than I normally do is very challenging for me and also i don't usually take public transport so it was also hard going that.

The biggest achievements over the week were making new friends from different years (also my year) and improving more in the different activities that I could learn more about. The biggest challenge was the weather during the sports as I got cold all the time and my clothes were soaked in cold water. I learned that I should bring more dry clothes and also a jacket if it's windy or rainy. The expectations that I had about Mad About Sports were it was going to be sunny every day, and that I would be very sweaty. I think I might transfer these skills in the future by being more fit and exercising a lot more as I can have a higher endurance in walking and running, etc. In general, I think that I have enjoyed Mad About Sports as a very good Explorer Week activity.

Learning new sports were one of my biggest achievements. I don't know how to play squash and tennis when I first played it. When I keep playing it, I am getting better and better at these sports. I enjoyed this trip to explorer week. Next time, I am going to join Mad about sports again.

My biggest achievement was doing a lot of sports. It was hard and I was not good at sports. Everyday I had to wake up early to do sports and it was kind of worth it. The price was pretty good for a lot of sports. The biggest challenge was football in the rain. It was slippery.

My biggest achievement over the week was to making more friends. One of my biggest challenges was just to go to the Hong Kong football club😲. Before playing those sports, my expectations were very high because the membership is pretty expensive, I thought that it would have many other facilities. I think I can transfer the skills I developed by playing with many other people. Such as when other people want to play I don't need to say that I don't know how to play that sport. I will continue these experience and continue playing sports. I think I developed the element of creativity after the Mad about Sports week.

meeting and working with people, and trying sports I havent tried before were some of my biggest achievments. At the start of explorer week, I only knew 7 people in my group, at the end, I knew nearly all the people in group and also some in other groups. Trying new sports was also a challenge, as most of the sports such as baseball, squash and tag rugby i didnt know how to play. But when the skibidi coaches taught us, we got the hang of it.

My biggest achievements were bonding more with friends and meeting new friends. My biggest challenge was doing well in some of the sports like football and athletics. I had expectations of only the popular sports being played but a large variety of sports were done.I can transfer the communication skills I learnt from the team activities anywhere and will be useful for life.I will start playing more sports now and I think I also learnt about myself much.

I enjoyed this year's Explorer Week because HKFC provided us with amazing food and facilities. My biggest achievement was learning the many different sports, especially squash. I liked all the coaches and they made everything fun. I would recommend people to go to this activity next year and I would definitely come back again

I made new friends throughout this explorer week. I have also had a good time learning new sports with my friends, although I already know how to play in some of the sports but it is also a very good week to play them with my friends. Although some sports are not as fun as expected, but it should be expected since not all sports are fun. All coaches had been very supportive throughout the whole time and the most important thing is that, me and my friends had fun.

My biggest challenge was trying to hit the ball. I learnt that I suck at hand eye coordination. I improved my singing skills! I thought there would be more popular sports but no it was like squash and pickleball. I didn't realise it was going to be raining the whole week but it was fun. I learnt team building skills and hopefully I can apply that to my basketball team.

I think that one of my biggest achievements would be learning new sports and how to work more effectively in a team setting. One of the biggest challenges that I faced was working with my team. I think we could have done that better as there was ocassional conflict amongst our groupmates. I learnt how to involve all of our teammates in our discussions and this experience strengthened my communication skills. I had high expectations for this activity and I believe that the activity satisfied this. The picture of "Mad about sports" has changed a bit at the end of the week. A way in which I can transfter the skills that I have developed throughout the week into another area would be PE as the activity was generally based on this field. I will continue to play sports as a result of this experience. A benefit of applying this knowledge would be that my performance in PE lessons would be better. The area of experimental learning that I feel like I developed in the most would be " developing skills for life".

During this week, I have achieved many goals that I set myself. The urge to learn new sports such as pickleball and golf has really raised my impression to try new sports. That week has taught me many attributes that lead to extreme sportsmanship. I have realised that the learning environment for many people may not be as comfortable as some others, so we helped each other to work as hard as we can, we used teamwork and also some putty strategies to win the team building games. This activity has strengthen the bonds between me and my groupmates, I had the most fun there.

The biggest achievement that happened over the week was learning new sports that I never tried before, and also learning to navigate my way throughout the city so that I am able to get to my location. A challenge that happened is that the rain makes it harder to do sports but also makes me cold which makes doing sports more of a challenge. A skill that I developed was communication because during team sports I was able to tell my team mates what to do and also help them on their troubles. I expected for me to have interest in all of the sports chosen during the explorer week but then there is a few sports that I wasn't really interested in. My skills can be used not just for sports but also when learning.

My biggest achievements were learning to play pickleball and squash they were new to me and squash was hard to learn. From these experiences, I learnt to serve pickleball and squashball. I liked the food because there was a variety of options and it tasted good. I think waking up early and getting there early was a challenge because doing do many hours of sports and then waking up early was hard as I was tired a lot of the time. At first, I thought that explorer week would be boring and I wouldn't have friends or people I knew and I wouldn't enjoy it but it was very fun and I made a lot of friends that I could spend time with while doing activities.

Overall I liked Explorer Week

My biggest achievement was getting to the venue, I lived pretty far away from the club so it was a bit hard to navigate to the club. I have learned navigation and teamwork skills since I came to the club with a few friends. I was expecting a real golf pitch but however, we instead got an electronic golf course experience. For a price of 4400 HKD, I feel like this experience was both worth it and somewhat not.

Pros:

Firstly, I was able to experience a very fun sports time with my friends. Secondly, there was a buffet with a lot of options and even dessert. Thirdly, the explorer week helped me relieve stress and helped me calm down from all the ongoing tests.

Cons:

It was a bit hard for me to get to the football club at 8:30; I lived far so I had to wake up early.

For a price of 880HKD a day, it wasn't that worth it

There was a cancelled day due to typhoon (would be better if we got a refund for that day)

Overall, this was a very good experience; I would come here again.

My biggest achievement was getting a strike in bowling. The biggest challenge I faced was playing and learning Tennis. There I learned to appreciate having fun in sports. I learned how to hold a racket better and learned how to bowl. I had low expectations for Explorer Week; but at the end of the day, I was impressed by the experience. 10/10. I imagined the experience being in the STC sports hall. Skills from the nutrition talk will help me later in life when I'm dealing with health issues like diabetes.

My biggest achievements was that I could meet new people in my year. People that I can call my friends.
My biggest challenge was that I was not able to play well in specific sports which made me get into a bad mood, I learned that my mood can affect me a lot, which means that I have to improve on my mental state.
I found out that having friends by your side is important, because as my mental state can be supported by them.
As I can get support from friends in many different ways, all the way from study support, to mental support.
I will start to socialize more in order to create a better community experience for myself.

My biggest achievement was trying new kinds of sports that I had never done before. The biggest challenge was the weather, where we had to play sports when it was raining. My expectation for this week was to have to play boring sports, but all the sports were fun, and I got to find new sports that I liked. But after all, I had an amazing time with my friends and the sports we did.

my biggest achivement is making friends. My biggest challenge was playing football. I learned new sports, and it was fun. I strengthened my squash skills. My expectation was more basketball. I thought there was more basketball sessions than I thought. I think it was fun because i got to spend time with my friends. I don't like the rain.

I will try to do a larger range of exercise after this experience and I will continue to try new things in sport as well as in life and I want to pursue the sports I enjoyed during the week. My biggest achievement was gaining a deeper appreciation and understanding of sports and the techniques in them that I have never played before. I think I have developed a greater interest for trying new things and in good physical health.

My biggest achievement was that I could meet new students that are in my year

My biggest challenge was that I could not play well in football and basketball which meant I had to improve my basketball and football skills. I found out that having friends is very important as they can support and help you in situations and when you are struggling in certain sports. I will start socializing more to create a happier and better experience for myself.

My biggest achievement over the week was learning how to play squash. The biggest challenge was collaborating with my teammates in the team-building game, but we talked and supported each other. As the week finished, I think I improved my strength and stamina. I expected to play a good job in every sport even though I didn't know and I didn't like it. My skills help me in sports like badminton and squash. Overall mad about went very well I learned new sports.

My biggest achievement over the week was learning about different sports and how to play them as a beginner. My biggest challenges were to master those, sports, though i never did, but I learnt how to play them. My expectations were originally high for the buffet and sport activities, and they stayed like that. Even though I only play basketball, I'll still continue playing it. I'll put what I learnt in another area by trying new sports. The element of experiential learning i feel has developed the most was trying new things.
