National Security and Youth Development Forum" cum Greater Bay Area Youth Innovation and Exchange Programme

On 12–13 April 2025, ten of our students participated in the "National Security and Youth Development Forum" cum Greater Bay Area Youth Innovation and Exchange Programme, jointly organized by the Guangzhou Overseas Friendship Association, Nansha Overseas Friendship Association, Hong Kong Guangzhou Fellowship Association, and the Hong Kong Guangzhou Nansha Fellowship Association.

Over two days, students visited key innovation and cultural sites in Nansha, including Fok Ying Tung Memorial Hall (霍英東紀念館), the Tunnel Museum, and Innovation Bay (創享灣) — a startup hub for young entrepreneurs. They also explored advances in automotive technology at the GAC Technology Museum and toured the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou).

At the forum, students engaged in discussions on national security and youth responsibility, and visited the National Security Exhibition Hall to deepen their understanding.

A highlight of the trip was receiving a calligraphy scroll from a recognized inheritor of the Chinese Double-Outline Calligraphy (雙鉤書法) Intangible Cultural Heritage, featuring our school motto: "Gentle in Manner, Resolute in Action". This special gift symbolized the meaningful connection between our school’s values and Chinese cultural heritage.

The programme broadened our students’ horizons and inspired them to reflect on innovation, national development, and their role in the future.

Inspiring Journeys: Mr. Eric Chiu's Reflections on Construction and Lifelong Learning

On March 25th, after school, we hosted an inspiring talk delivered by our distinguished alumnus, Mr. Chiu Kam Kun Eric, a graduate of the Class of 1976. Mr. Chiu is a renowned expert in the field of civil engineering, and his company primarily focuses on bridges and other infrastructure projects.

During the talk, Mr. Chiu shared his lifelong learning journey and aspirations, drawing from his extensive experience in bridge construction, with a particular focus on the flyover near V Walk in Sham Shui Po.

Our boys were deeply impressed by Mr. Chiu’s determination to acquire diverse qualifications—ranging from engineering to a law degree—to fulfill his professional responsibilities. His dedication and deep respect for the various roles within the construction industry left a lasting impression, inspiring and motivating our students.

The talk was part of the Dreamcatchers Programme, an award scheme that encourages our students to broaden their horizons and gain valuable insights into career and professional development through participating in a wide range of talks, visits, and experiential learning activities.
