Sam Hui (11W), WANBO leader said, “On behalf of WANBO, we wanted to express our sincere congratulations to winners! We’re really thankful for all the enthusiasm towards this activity and the fantastic effort each and every student put in. All the masks have successfully incorporated elements that represented the theme of their house as well as other creative personal designs, providing a unique reusable mask for our community. We look forward to increasing reusable mask usage in our school!”
