Four of our Form 5 Biology students, Cai Wang Yu, Poon Chun Yau Eric, Wong Kwai Ying from 5A and Chan Yik Kwan from 5B, participated in the Hong Kong Science Fair organized by the Hong Kong Innovation Foundation this year. During the process, they were trained in two workshops by experts at the MIT Hong Kong Innovation Node Centre, receiving valuable comments on their programming and presentation skills. Their dedication earned them a Merit Prize in the Senior Form category.

Their project, “Savior”, aims to boost the population of native insects and plants having declined due to urban development and climate change. “Savior” is a self-operated insect hotel using the Arduino program. The Arduino board processes data collected by 6 light sensors, 2 water sensors and a solar panel installed on the roof top to initiate responses correspondingly, such as revolving the device to avoid sunlight and lowering the curtain to avoid raindrops, in order to provide the best living condition for the insects and thus help the pollination of native plants. If cameras are installed, photos of different insects and plants around can be captured and shared on online platforms such as iNaturalist while the collected data can be processed to achieve different investigation and analysis purposes by universities, institutions and environmental organisations. Their product can accomplish multiple objectives. Besides increasing the general public’s awareness, the mechanism saves a lot of manpower in terms of data collection and monitoring. It is hoped that “Savior” can contribute to saving and protecting the life of both pollinators and native plants.

2B Zeng Yuen Man has been outstanding in both inter-school and regional athletics competitions this year. She recently received the BOCHK Rising Star Athlete Award which recognizes the achievements of Grade C athletes for their devotion and significant performance in a particular sport.

Congratulations to Yuen Man for her athletic talent and impressive accomplishments!

3B Mak Tsz Ching has won the champion in 110m hurdles event in the All Hong Kong Schools Jing Ying Athletics Tournament. Congratulations to Tsz Ching for his exemplary performance and we look forward to his future endeavors.

5D Fung Ho Hei took part in the 3rd Hong Kong Youth and Children’s Music Competition and obtained the champion title in F.4-6 Group Chinese Musical Instrument Solo (Guzheng). Every year, the competition attracts music and dance lovers from different parts of Asia to participate, providing a platform for them to showcase their talents, demonstrating the classical, modern, Chinese and Western music and dance cultures in Asia. Congratulations to Ho Hei!
