Agricultural and Fisheries Innovative Technology Exchange Tour On February 22–23, 2025, sponsored by the Hong Kong Fishermen Consortium, 10 students from our school participated in a two-day, one-night Agricultural and Fisheries Innovative Technology Exchange Tour. The tour was led by Honorary Leader Mr. Tse Chin-wan, BBS, JP, Secretary for Environment and Ecology of the HKSAR Government, Tour Leader Mr. Kenneth Fok, SBS, JP, and Deputy Tour Leader Mr. Jonathan Chan Pok-chi, MH, JP. They were joined by Dr. Thomas Chu Chun-wa, Assistant Director (Fisheries and Marine Conservation) of the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department, along with several university students.

During the trip, we visited the Nansha Base of the Guangzhou Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Mingzhu Agricultural Park, Guangdong International Agricultural High-Tech Park, Chengyi Aquaculture Base, and Nansha Wetland Park.

Throughout the two-day, one-night study tour, students gained a deeper understanding of the country's development in agriculture and fisheries, realizing that food does not come easily and is the result of hard work across generations in our nation. We hope that this exchange tour provided students with a profound experience, inspiring them to explore opportunities within the country's agricultural and fisheries development, pursue careers in high-tech agritech and aquaculture in the future, and contribute to bringing bountiful agricultural and fishery resources to the people.
 

Our school participated in the Towngas Green Flame Ambassador Programme. The goal of this initiative is to remind students to stay engaged with environmental issues and renewable energy, while encouraging them to become future leaders in the green energy sector. In addition to receiving certificates, students were awarded a set of limited-edition Towngas board games, enabling them to learn about environmental protection and new energy applications through play.

Furthermore, students had the opportunity to visit a Towngas plant to gain firsthand insight into the development of clean energy in Hong Kong and contribute to a sustainable future.
 

Dates: November 20, 22, and 24, 2023 
Projects across various grade levels included smart trash cans, braking systems, satellite antennas, bubble flutes, periscopes, anti-theft mats, and more. Throughout the activities, students fully applied STEAM elements to solve problems, share their creative processes, and showcase their work, demonstrating the spirit of self-directed learning.
 

To actively promote STEAM education, our school has participated in the Quality Education Fund Thematic Network (QTN) — 'Robot in STEM' since 2017. Together with participating schools, we established a 'Professional STEM Exchange Network' to advance upper-primary STEAM education through robotics activities. All member schools actively engage in international coding robotics activities, such as the RoboCupJunior Hong Kong, bringing rich experience in mechanical fabrication and computer programming. Within this scheme, network schools collaboratively design learning materials for robot building, share successful experiences, refine existing curricula, and develop school-based STEAM teaching units.

By building robots hands-on and participating in competitions, our students enhance their learning effectiveness in science, technology, and mathematics, while combining computer programming skills to boost their self-directed learning capabilities. In the current academic year, upper-primary students in each grade constructed two models of robots during General Studies lessons, including the 'Power King Robot,' 'Fighting Robot,' 'Sheep-herding Robot,' and 'Hopping Robot.' Using hardware tools and components firsthand sparked students' interest far more than learning solely from textbooks. Moreover, as success rarely comes on the first attempt, the encouragement of teachers, peer collaboration, and continuous trial and error fostered students' perseverance, collaborative skills, and problem-solving abilities. Upon completing their creations, students also had opportunities to participate in inter-school robotics competitions to further explore performance enhancements. In terms of teacher development, teachers enhanced their robot design skills through hands-on workshops and seminars.

A vital aspect of the Quality Education Fund Thematic Network is establishing a professional STEM exchange network among schools to elevate Hong Kong's overall STEM development. As a participating school, our school benefited in the early years from the guidance of pioneer schools. As our teachers accumulated experience, our school transitioned into a mentor role, assisting newly joined schools in implementing STEAM curricula. Teachers from our STEAM team have visited newly joined schools to provide classroom support and share our experience in implementing STEM education.
