Other
Under the NSS Curriculum, 'Other Learning Experiences' (OLE) is one of the three components that complement the NSS subjects. Based on our strong foundation of the five Essential Learning Experiences in the junior forms, senior form students are offered a wide range of OLE opportunities both within and outside school. It is hoped that our Paulinians would be further encouraged to participate in the five areas of OLE, namely Aesthetic Development, Physical Development, Moral and Civic Education, Community Service and Career-related Experiences.
Every year, there are many competitions and activities held in order to provide a learning experience for Paulinians, such as Verse and Play competition and Inter-class Rope Skipping.
SPSS also participates in other competitions, including art, drama and the Hong Kong Schools Speech Festival.

Famous quotes containing the word activities:
“The most remarkable aspect of the transition we are living through is not so much the passage from want to affluence as the passage from labor to leisure.... Leisure contains the future, it is the new horizon.... The prospect then is one of unremitting labor to bequeath to future generations a chance of founding a society of leisure that will overcome the demands and compulsions of productive labor so that time may be devoted to creative activities or simply to pleasure and happiness.”
—Henri Lefebvre (b. 1901)
