Four of our Form 4 Biology students participated in the “Insect Hotel” Design Competition for Secondary Schools organized by the Outdoor Wildlife Learning Hong Kong (OWLHK). They took part in comprehensive and diversified learning activities for six months and were trained to make an innovative “Insect Hotel” as well as conduct related experiments. Our students were so engaged and ultimately attained Champion in the competition.
25th HKYSTIC - 'Soy'lution Modification
Three of our Form 5 Biology students collaborated on a project titled ‘Soy’lution Modification that aimed to promote genetically modified (GM) soybeans to the public, raising their awareness and understanding of this topic. Our students’ innovative approach and dedication to fostering scientific solutions to real-world challenges earned them recognition and praise from the judges. They received a merit award in the STEM Activity Category of the 25th Hong Kong Youth Science and Technology Innovation Competition (HKYSTIC).
Hong Kong Secondary School Health Exhibition Presentation Competition (HEPC)
Five of our Form 6 Biology students participated in Hong Kong Secondary School Health Exhibition Presentation Competition (HEPC) 2022 organized by Medical Society, The Chinese University of Hong Kong. They presented on the topic “Dry eye disease and its relationship with the COVID-19 pandemic” and received the Bronze Award.
Environmental Education Workshop on Microplastics and Oceans in Trouble
Our Biology Department, Geography Department and Gifted Education Team co-organized an environmental education workshop for our Form 3 to Form 5 Biology, Geography and gifted students to delve deeper into the issue of global plastic problems. Through the 1-hour hands-on session, they learned more about the rising concerns of microplastics, plastic-free seas and the use of microbeads in skin care products.
School-based Environmental Education Programme
Our Biology, Geography and Chemistry Departments jointly organized an environmental education programme to Hok Tau, upper course of Ng Tung River, for our Form 4 and Form 5 students to enhance their fieldwork skills as well as collaboration and problem-solving skills.
Narcissus planting
Our Form 5 Biology students participated in a Narcissus planting activity aiming to teach them about plant reproduction and growth. Each student planted a Narcissus bulb and observed its growth, recording changes in the anatomy. The activity provided an experiential learning opportunity for them to develop practical and observation skills.
Making a Cell Model
Our Form 4 Biology students were divided into groups to make a model of a plant or an animal cell with an aim to develop their various learning skills and consolidate their concepts about cell structures. They were so creative in using plastic bags, play dough, foamed plastic strings, polyester resin and other materials to make the different organelles in the cell.
