Promoting a healthy lifestyle and learning environment is one of our top priorities. Our Red Cross Youth Unit organized a series of activities in January and February 2024 to serve this goal.

A Healthy School Day was held in January with a theme on ‘Support, Education and Empowerment: Ignite the Change for Physical & Mental Health’. 4C Lin Huiyan and 4B Leung Nok Kin, our School Health Ambassadors, provided students and staff with professional health services, measuring their blood pressure, pulse and blood oxygen level (SpO2), body fat and Body Mass Index (BMI). Health advice was also given. Participants had a better understanding of their health status after the activity.

Members joined a Basic Life Support (BLS) training course and learned how to perform CPR and AED accurately as a pre-hospital treatment. They all passed the assessment and obtained a first aid certificate recognized by the European Resuscitation Council.

During our Aquatic Meet in February, 4B Feng Lee Ki, our First Aid Team Leader, together with 15 members provided first aid service to their schoolmates. Some senior members shared their experiences with the leaders-to-be. Meanwhile, 3A Chow Zifeng and 3A Zeng Tsz Ching briefed fellow members about the importance of manpower deployment, triage and record on site.

Our Chinese Cultural Day was held on 2 February 2024. Apart from writing spring festival couplets and making paper cutting, students and teachers did the traditional annual clean up and decorated classrooms in preparation for the Chinese New Year.

Students also enjoyed the Chinese juggling performance as well as the lion dance, learning about these Chinese cultural elements while celebrating the start of a new year.

We wish everyone a prosperous and fruitful Year of the Loong.

To demonstrate our love and care for the elderly in the community with a belief that giving is more rewarding than receiving, we collaborated with The Neighbourhood Advice-Action Council to organize an event named “Build Our Homes With Our Neighbours” on 2 February 2024, promoting the values of benevolence, filial piety, and empathy.

Over a total of a hundred student volunteers participated in this initiative. They visited 258 elderly residents of Mei Ying House and Mei Yue House in Shek Kip Mei Estate, delivering gifts and engaging in warm conversations with them.

This program was subsidized by the Heart to Heart School Neighbourhood Project of the Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups and our Parent-Teacher Association.

Our school library organized a wood carving workshop on 2 February 2024, our Chinese Cultural Day. The activity was meant to promote traditional Chinese craftsmanship and related readings.

A joint-school DSE oral practice, co-organized by our Student Union, Fantasia, TWGHs Chang Ming Thien College Student Union, Cheung Sha Wan Catholic Secondary School Student Union and St. Mary’s Canossian College, was successfully held on 27 January 2024.

It was a great opportunity for the participants to learn from each other.

Our thanks go to the teacher examiners and student helpers, and we wish all the candidates good luck for their exam!
