We would like to thank you for your support of our school magazine "Renaissance". This magazine is established as a school ELA where members can gain basic hands-on experience on aspects of investigative journalism. Our motto is: "Sepiemtia ipsa libertas", a Latin phrase meaning "Knowledge itself is liberty". As for the name of our magazine: "Renaissance", it is formally interpreted as "a Revoluti
on in intellectual and artistic pursuit", which echoes the purpose of this magazine: We are here to, hopefully, rekindle students’ interest in the world, in self-directed learning, and in formulating critical opinions towards all subjects: school (yes complaints!), Hong Kong, China, World, Art, you name it. Martin Luther King Jr. once said, "Nothing in the world is more dangerous than a sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity." Our magazine, by examining popular topics such as social networking, culture and freedom, aims to enhance critical thinking and foster civic awareness. By publishing students' works and letters, our magazine also serves as a platform for creativity and an outlet for reasoned opinions. We pay heavy emphasis on global vision and the freedom of speech, and hope to advocate these values through the power of words. In this website, we present to you articles that cover recent school news, controversial global affairs, as well as analysis of an array of social issues, coupled with a little background data that could hopefully broaden readers' knowledge. Enjoy!
