Bridge Team
Contract bridge is a card game which requires the use of logic, memory, analytical ability, power of judgment and a sound intellect. In contract bridge, you need to cooperate with your partner to strive for an optimal bidding contract and then either achieve it or defeat the opponents' contract. Communication and unspoken consensus between you and your partner are equally important. The special features of our Bridge Team are that we strive for simplicity and have our practice in a comfortable environment.
Band Team
Band Team was formed in 2007, it is currently named Sunburn. It shows the passion and enthusiasm that Sunnians uphold. There are performances on various stages each year, such as the Joint-hall Music Performance, Rock-on-Pok, etc. We have demonstrated how Sunburn helps to increase Sunnians’ sense of belonging through making music.
We play songs of different music genres: Rock, Pop, Metal, Jazz and Blues in both English and Chinese. We also hold instrumental interest classes for hall-mates, such as drum class. Band team is a platform for hall-mates to showcase their musical talents and to share their passion for music.
Choir Team
Joining Suen Chi Sun Hall Choir Team gives you the perfect chance to enjoy and feel music together with other hall-mates. With around 50 Choir members, we make our dreams come true by singing deeply from our hearts. We participate in the Inter-hall Choir Competition every year and perform internally in several Hall functions. All music lovers and passionate singers are welcomed to join the Choir Team; prior experience is inconsequential. Promoting the pleasure of singing is far more important than winning prizes. Sharing great joy in our Choir Team and shining on stage is a precious experience you definitely do not want to miss.
Drama Team
Our Drama Team was the Champion in Inter-hall Drama Competition 2014 and it comprises almost 70 members. The team is divided into 5 sub-teams; the sound and lighting team, the props and setting team, the image team, the script-writing team and the cast. Each team is just indispensable, like the integral parts of a well-oiled machine. In order to perfect the performance of the cast, we need the collective effort of every team. Joining Drama Team will help you get a deeper understanding of drama and at the same time gives you a chance to interact with more hall-mates. So come and join us! See you in Drama Team!
Debate Team
A debate is defined as a competition between two teams in which they defend their own stance and persuade judges to believe in their arguments. Our Debate Team participates in the Inter-hall Debate Competition (Cantonese) and organizes friendly debate competitions every year. As a motion is given usually five days before the competition, the preparatory meeting lasts for five consecutive days. Our team welcomes all hall-mates to join, regardless of whether you are an amateur or a veteran in debate. Let’s debate together!
Dance Team
Suen Chi Sun Hall Dance Team was founded in 2005 by a group of dance enthusiasts. Despite its short history, it has built a great reputation with its outstanding performances in Joint-hall Mass Dance Performance annually. In fact, every year after performing in the Mass Dance Performance, Suen Chi Sun Hall Dance Team receives invitations from organizations both inside and outside HKU to perform in various events. Merely judging from the standard of our performances, others might not know that indeed over 90% of our team members are total beginners. Our philosophy is plain and simple- Practice makes perfect. We believe it is never too late to start dancing as long as one is determined to dedicate efforts consistently, and we are proud to say that we manage to prove ourselves right every year and we believe there will be no exception for years to come.
