Student Council Overseas Trip to Hong Kong
During this trip in March , intended for participants to interact with student leaders from other countries and to engage in a combined community involvement project , 20 Secondary Three Student Councilors and 2 teachers visited St Paul ’ s College as well as St Stephen ’ s Girls ’ College .
Before the trip , participants prepared questions like “ How does your school build up the school spirit ?”, “ How do you bridge the gap between the student leaders and the student body ?” So they were able to get round to asking these and other questions during exchanges with their overseas counterparts .
Our councillors ’ combined project with St Paul ’ s College involved visiting single elderly folks living in the public rental housing estates . The SPC students served as translators for our students when they interacted with the elderly folks . Each group of leaders brought a bag of food items as a gift to the elderly . From their first-hand experience of visiting a oneroom flat in Hong Kong , our students gained an insight into how these elderly folks spend their time every day .
At St Stephen ’ s Girls ’ College , the teachersin-charge organized walking tours for our students to understand the Hong Kong culture , history , heritage and restoration efforts . Our hosts , student leaders from SSGC introduced us to the different Hong Kong styles around the school . Our students also experienced taking different modes of transportation , like the public bus and tram ( nicknamed “ ding ding ” in Hong Kong ). During the tours , there were opportunities for good interaction between the 2 groups of student leaders . After the activity-packed and fulfilling trip , online groups were formed to continue the friendship and interaction between the 3 groups of students .
