在去年10月,幾位可譽同學參加了由民政事務處舉辦的4天3夜上海杭州交流團。在旅程中,同學們親身體驗當地獨特的文化。除了遊覽當地的著名景點,同學們還參觀了汽車公司總部,見識了在香港難得一見的重工業。在港商投資的上海環貿iapm商場和二十國集團峰會的會場,同學們感受到經濟全球化的急速發展,並為當地的成就而驚嘆。
同學們有幸到訪當地中學及著名的上海交通大學。透過觀課、體育競賽和模擬畢業等活動,同學們體驗了上海學生的生活。中四級余詠琪同學十分欣賞上海的教育,她認為上海的物理課比香港深奧很多,學生上課時非常安靜和認真。但是,她更喜歡活潑又互動多的香港課堂,慨嘆內地學生的考試壓力頗大。
這次上海之旅,讓同學增廣見聞,了解內地的文化與經濟發展水平,而作為香港未來的主人翁,同學們更省思了香港的優勢和不足,期望透過積極裝備自己,將來在不同範疇能為香港的發展出一分力。
In October, 2019, our students joined a four-day study tour to Hangzhou, Shanghai. Organized by the District Office, the tour provided an opportunity for the participants to experience the unique culture of Hangzhou. Besides exploring some famous tourist attractions, our students also paid visits to different places. At the headquarter of an automobile company, they enriched their knowledge about distinctive heavy industries which they rarely come across in Hong Kong. Through visiting Huanmao iapm Mall and the venue of G20 Leaders Summit, students realized the fast globalisation of the world economy and were amazed by the achievements of the local community.
During the trip, our students also got involved in class observation, sports competitions and mock graduation activities at various institutions including several high schools and Shanghai Jiao Tong University. After experiencing local students’ life, one of our S.4 students, Yu Wing Kei, showed appreciation towards the education system of Shanghai, particularly the Physics curriculum. While most Hong Kong students are active and communicative, she observed that the mainland students are highly attentive in class and they are under even greater exam pressure.
Without a doubt, the tour enabled our students to widen their horizons and have a deeper understanding of the cultural and financial developments of Shanghai. It was such a rewarding trip which inspired students to equip themselves to prepare for the challenges ahead and contribute to a better Hong Kong in the near future.
