Top Contributor is for the student who has excelled in all areas of our classes, participating fully and showing a great effort to learn.

Ye Yang is the first winner of the HLS Most Improved Student award. He showed great improvement in his all-round English in our classes, excelling in vocabulary games and writing sentences. Congratulations!

She has showed great effort to improve her grammar, demonstrated creativity in various assignments and has gone the extra mile by doing work outside of the class too.
