Some of our Form 4 and 5 students joined a Greater Bay Area Career Exploration Tour to Zhuhai recently, visiting Zhuhai Holiday Resort Hotel and By-Health Transparent Factory. Apart from engaging in a comprehensive tour of the hotel, our students also marveled at the advanced nutritional supplement production at the factory, exploring the intelligent production lines emphasizing efficiency and quality control.

Two teams of our Form 5 Biology students were awarded Merit Prize in the category of Medical & Healthcare and the category of Smart City respectively in the 2024-25 Hong Kong Science Fair organized by the Hong Kong Innovation Foundation.
Tseung Yan Tung, Lam Yan Yu, Lin Huiyan and Wong Wai Him from our team “Asclepius” were inspired by the idea of eco-friendly and natural remedies to develop a hemostatic and antibacterial ointment made with Chinese herbs, Agrimonia pilosa (仙鶴草) and Aloe vera (蘆薈), to replace the traditional adhesive bandages. This natural product aims to benefit both human health as well as the environment, and more importantly to pass on the wisdom of Chinese medicine and promote the awareness of reducing plastic waste.
Meanwhile, Zhang Ying Jun, Lee Chi Chung, Shen Ip and Wong Hei Ching from our other team created their “Blaze Tracker”, a comprehensive fire detection and alert system comprising a fire detecting system, signal processing system, and fire broadcasting system. This product can provide real-time information on the fire locations and escape directions. The broadcast system can remind the residents to bring their three essential items prior to evacuation while the AI recognition function allows them to find the fastest route and avoid congestion. In addition, the notification system can alert their families about the fire on their mobile phones.
Our students had the opportunity to be 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.
The two-day fair was the peak of the event with more than 58,000 visitors. Contestants had to present and share their ideas on how their products can tackle community challenges through innovative and human-centric approaches. Our students were so excited to meet and interact with distinguished guests, such as Mr. David Taji and Mr. Andy Yeung Yan-kin, judges, professionals, parents and counterparts from other schools. Interviewed by reporters from Ming Pao, Sing Tao and SCMP apart from receiving positive feedback and encouragement from visitors, our teams were overjoyed by the recognition and support.
