This has been a traditional annual event for the school since its first year. In 2018, during this week-long festival, classes in each academy competed against one another in the first four days, and the winners played inter-academy matches on the final day. The competitions included dodgeball, game-based relay races, basketball, caterpillar race (in which 25 players bind their feet together), mixed-age group challenge, as well as fun sport games.
For the Sport Festival, all games are designed to be team based. Students compete at various levels, not only in the same grade, but also in mixed-age groups. They fight to win the chance to represent their academy and to win the final championship glory. The Sport Festival serves as an important venue for students to develop and demonstrate a high degree of team spirit.

To encourage students to practice and master the fast-developing technologies, Shenzhen Bay School held a four-day Maker Festival in December 2018. In this big faire, the students became little engineers bringing their works from the STEAM projects to the showcase. They also participated in 20 new workshops and games such as 3D printing, Robotics, Woodcrafts and Tapigami. These workshop scientists and artists brought fun, engaging and internationally-tested learning opportunities to the school.

In the very beginning of 2019, the Art Festival was organized with a particular theme on Drama, as well as performing art. Each class of the four Academies carefully planned, practiced and rehearsed a drama play that involved every student. In the end, they put on a spectacular theatre show in the auditorium. Every single student had a role to present on the big stage. The performances ranged from fairy tales to historical classics, from Greek myths to youth stories, and from soap operas to career dreams. Many of classes also accompanied their stage shows with artwork exhibitions. In this festival, students used the most joyful theatrical activities to interpret the classics and imagine the future.

For Grade One, Two and Three, the end-of-semester assessments are conducted in the form of interactive activities. These activities are planned and implemented according to the teaching rubrics and the characteristics of children's age. They serve well the purpose of assessing students’ learning as well as reviewing the content of this semester. Each semester's final exam has a different theme, often borrowed from a popular book the students read, for example, Camela from The Little Hens Series, and Peter from Peter the Rabbit. These exams combine all learning disciplines including academic subjects and sports to form a series of challenges, so that students can fully show their development on literacy, critical thinking, communication, music, aesthetic, athletics, and life skills. The entire exam process is fun, exciting and interactive, sometimes team-oriented. Upon finishing all the tests, students collect the winning prizes at the end. It is not hard to imagine that students have become fond of such assessment activities.

In order to stimulate enthusiasm in reading, every year the school launches a Reading Festival that lasts over several weeks. The Reading Festival consists of a series of activities, including class reading parties, whole book reading teaching seminars, “the best reading space" and “the best reading moments” competitions, teacher and student book sharing sessions, and other reading projects.

Dodgeball Tournament takes place in primary school. Classes in Grade One and Two compete as players while more senior students take up organizational roles such as coaches, referees, commentators, cheerleaders, journalists, photographers and poster designers. Under the Sport Education Model, students grow in Dodgeball Tournament not only as participants, but also as supporters and organizers.
