Music
College has Music Society, which is formed by a group of passionate students with the aim to promote music. They organized music night to provide platform for music lovers to gather and perform. In addition to performance, they are arranged various activities including DIY Cajon workshop. Students can also borrow various musical instruments and equipment such as keyboard, electric guitar, bass, drum, amplifier, etc from College for practice and performance.

In 2021, they had their first Annual Performance staged at Tai Po Black Box Theatre, there were three performances, each with a full house of more than 60 audience members.
Cultural Events
A wide variety of cultural events are organized each year to nurture students' interests in new things and ability to appreciate different culture. For example, students can have a taste of Spanish, French and German culture through cooking class, language activity, movie night, etc.
In order to broaden students’ horizon and bring in new perspectives, the College invited alumni who are currently studying or working overseas to share their path and stories. It is hoped that students could get some inspiration from our alumni.
