This week, Nansen House successfully hosted its annual charity week from March 9-13. This year Nansen House is supporting Baiwan and Habitat for Humanity, dedicated to raising awareness and funds for decent, affordable housing for families locally and across the Asia-Pacific region.
 
Nansen Charity Week was an exciting and vibrant event that fostered collaboration among House leaders and representatives from Years 7 to 13. A thank you from Ms. Newby to the proactive efforts of the 12N House leaders, Edward Mauvielle, Alena Mavalvala, Osbert Lau and Sophie Lee. The week was filled with engaging activities that promoted the Nansen spirit, complemented by delightful spring weather.

 

Highlights included the successful Nansen Blue Bake Sale on March 10, featuring a variety of treats, from Blue meringues to ice doughnuts, Churros, cookies and much more, all beautifully packaged, displaying the Nansen logo. A special thanks to the parents and students who contributed their time and creativity. The carnival on March 11 was a lively affair, with a representative from Habitat for Humanity sharing insights about their impactful work in Hong Kong.

 

The Blue Nansen Biathlon on March 12 brought the school together, with students enthusiastically supporting their peers during swim and run events, showcasing the strong House culture and determination of Nansen students.

As we continue collecting donations for Biawan and Habitat for Humanity, we appreciate the commitment of all Nansen students to supporting meaningful causes. The final gathering, N Formation, allowed Nansen to honour House traditions while uniting for our chosen charities. We closed the week in song in the courtyard. Thank you to Sum Yi Fung and Anson Chiu for leading this. Finally, thank you, Nansen and IS, for singing Ms. Gunson Happy Birthday on Friday, March 13. Nansen Charity Week 2026 was certainly a memorable highlight of the academic year for the Blue House.
