Typhoon Club

In 2015 and 2016, Typhoon Club implemented its Levelled Reading Programme at 40 primary and secondary schools with funding from the English Alliance and the Standing Committee on Language Education and Research (SCOLAR).

Typhoon Club also implements annual summer courses to encourage primary aged students to explore different locations in Hong Kong and to write about their experiences in their own magazine.

'Hello From Me' (2017) tells the story of Hong Kong student, Tim Tang, visiting England for the first time.

There, he participates in a variety of different cultural experiences including traditional Morris Dancing in Oxford, cheese chasing at Cooper's Hill, a visit to London's Transport Museum and eating fish and chips on Brighton beach.

This includes Hong Kong's fireworks to England's Bonfire Night, a full English breakfast to dim sum, and Hong Kong's Cheung Chau Da Jiu Festival to England's pancake racing on Shrove Tuesday.

Additional readers included David Eldon's successor, Vincent Cheng, and CEOs Michael Smith and Peter Wong.
