For the fourth consecutive year, the Government’s Planning Department has offered our school their Outreach Programme. Besides learning from the Department’s array of informative exhibition boards and having fun at their interactive Mobile Exhibition Centre stationed at our school, our students enjoyed the inspiring talk given by Ms. Chan Lok Yi Natalie, Place Making Manager at the Energizing Kowloon East Office under the Works Branch of the Development Bureau, on the Energizing Kowloon East initiative and her career journey as a town planner.

Exploring Marine Life at Ocean Park

The Environment and Ecology Bureau provided 80 of our F.4 and F.5 Geography students with the opportunity to attend an educational course at the Hong Kong Marine Life Stranding and Education Centre in Ocean Park.

They marvelled at the Operation Theatre where urgent surgical procedures are performed on marine species like sea turtles. After washing their hands, they also had the unique experience of touching starfish and sea cucumbers, impressed by their special textures. This programme has deepened our students’ understanding of the marine ecosystem beyond the textbook.

Our Form 5 Geography students visited the Jockey Club Museum of Climate Change at The Chinese University of Hong Kong. The museum provided insights into climate change causes and effects as well as mitigation strategies through interactive exhibits and games.

Following this, students enjoyed a guided tour around the serene Lake Ad Excellentiam, discussing its ecological significance and conservation efforts.

A Field Trip to Shek O

To enhance our Form 5 Geography students’ understanding of the coastal geography of Hong Kong, a field trip to Shek O was held to provide them with first-hand experience of the area’s unique geological formations, including sandy beaches, rugged cliffs, tombolo and rich biodiversity.

Students explored the coastal ecosystem, learned about the wave characteristics, erosion and deposition processes. The trip also deepened their appreciation of Hong Kong’s natural beauty.

Geography Field Studies in Cheung Chau and Central

The Caritas Chan Chun Ha Field Studies Centre offered us two field study courses to enhance our senior form Geography students’ knowledge in conducting fieldwork and to prepare them for the fieldwork-based questions (FBQ) in the HKDSE.

Our Form 5 students explored the microclimate of Central Business District (CBD), examining how the urban landscape impacts it, and validated their hypotheses through a series of on-site measurements.

Our Form 4 students, on the other hand, investigated the urban housing and environmental problems in Cheung Chau through site observations and surveys. They enjoyed a fulfilling day in the atmosphere of New Year’s Eve and were warmly received by the local residents during their research activities.
