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
