Students Venture into Shenzhen’s Green Frontier

On 30th April 2025, about 140 Primary 4-6 students from our school crossed the border for an eye-opening, one-day study tour to Shenzhen, China. Designed to deepen understanding of nature conservation and smart farming in the Greater Bay Area, the excursion blended ecology, technology and cultural exchange in equal measure.

The day began in the lush grounds of Fairy Lake Botanical Garden. Guided by local conservationists, students examined plant species and learned how Shenzhen balances rapid urban growth with biodiversity protection.

The group also visited an organic farming plantation on the city’s outskirts. Here, agronomists demonstrated IoT-controlled greenhouses, solar-powered irrigation and AI pest-monitoring drones. Pupils tried their hand at seeding plants, linking textbook science to real-world innovation. 

Throughout the tour, students compared Hong Kong’s and Shenzhen’s environmental policies and discussed how regional cooperation can advance the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. They were especially inspired by the integration of advanced technology with traditional farming wisdom—proof that green development and modern living can go hand in hand.

The trip not only broadened horizons but also reinforced our mission to cultivate responsible global citizens.

深圳自然生態及農業科技探索之旅

2025 年 4 月 30 日，本校約140名四至六年級共四十名學生前往中國深圳，進行為期一天的「自然生態及農業科技探索之旅」，親身體驗大灣區綠色發展的最新面貌。

行程第一站是仙湖植物園。學生在保育導師帶領下觀察珍稀植物，了解深圳如何在高速城市化中保護生物多樣性。

隨後學生前往市郊的有機種植農場。農業科技人員展示物聯網溫室、太陽能灌溉系統及人工智能蟲害監測無人機。學生親手播種蔬菜，將課堂理論與創新科技連結起來。

過程中，同學比較香港與深圳的環保政策，討論區域合作如何推動聯合國可持續發展目標。他們尤其驚嘆於現代科技與傳統農耕智慧的結合，見證綠色發展與現代生活可以並駕齊驅。

此行既增廣見聞，又深化守護地球的責任感，展現我校培育全球公民的教育理念

Cultural Exchange Days

On 23rd January, 2025, our CMS P4 students participated in the Chinese Culture Day at TWGHs Sin Chu Wan Primary School. The event provided an enriching opportunity to explore Chinese culture through various activities. Students learned traditional lion dance, discovered the history of Poon Choi, and engaged in an art and craft project with their peers from the host school. The day culminated in a visit to Che Kung Temple, where students wrote couplets in celebration of the upcoming Chinese New Year.

Later, on 6th May, 2025, our students had the honor of hosting a cultural exchange day focused on conservation. Participants enjoyed a guided tour around Sheung Wan, where they learned about Hong Kong's history and the significance of its unique buildings, including the Chinese YMCA of HK and PMQ. Our students took on the role of guides, ensuring that the guests felt welcomed and engaged. Together, they collaborated on a project to develop a conservation plan, fostering teamwork and a shared commitment to protecting the environment.

These activities aimed to connect with our community, instill a love for our living environment, and build friendships with students from different schools.

文化交流日

在2025年1月23日，本校四年級學生曾到訪在東華三院冼次雲小學舉行的中國文化日。這次活動為學生提供了探索中國文化的豐富機會，通過各種活動學習。學生們學習了傳統的舞獅，了解了盆菜的歷史，並與主辦學校的同學一起參加了藝術和手工活動。活動最後，學生們參觀了車公廟，並在慶祝即將到來的農曆新年時寫下了對聯。

隨後，在2025年5月6日，我們有幸邀請了冼次雲學校的學生到來，主辦了一個以保護環境為主題的文化交流日。參與者享受了一次圍繞上環的導賞之旅，了解香港的歷史及其獨特建築的重要性，包括香港中華青年會和PMQ元創方。我們的學生擔任導遊，確保客人感到受歡迎和參與。大家一起合作制定了一個保護計劃，促進了團隊合作和共同保護環境的承諾。

這些活動旨在與我們的社區建立聯繫，培養我們對生活環境的熱愛，並能與其他友校與來自不同學校的學生建立友誼。
