Liberal Studies Week

Teachers and students had fun with academics together

The major aim of the subject week is to organize various activities to raise students’ interest.

On 23rd November 2018, some 20 students, with our guidance, went to Oxfam Interactive Education Centre for an activity called ‘Food for thoughts’. The theme was about understanding how people under poverty in Hong Kong may buy food with their limited income from the wet market. We hope students won’t take wealth for granted.

As for the Quiz Competition on 22nd November, it was definitely the highlight of the week. Even F1 students were brave enough to answer the open-ended questions on stage. The Open-ended Question session involves philosophical questions touching on domains of social sciences. Students were required to spend a whole week to prepare answers for all the questions. This student-centre and liberal way of learning, for sure, will tap students' potential to the fullest.

On 27th November, we had a brand new field trip called Food Globalization at Cheung Chau Island. With the assistance of Caritas Chan Chun Ha Field Studies Centre, we had a fruitful time by doing field studies and investigation in the streets and alleys.

Some other activities include two exciting teacher-student debates during lunch time, which require students to probe deeper in the motions, namely, ‘Is Lantau Vision Tomorrow a worthwhile investment?’ and ‘Talking about raising the next generation at present Hong Kong, one child only is better than more than one.’


通識週師生樂融融

通識週旨在舉行富於趣味的時事學術活動，引起學習興趣。

2018年11月23日，我們一行師生二十人到樂施會教育中心，參加了一個關於Food of thoughts工作坊。希望同學能了解貧窮人士如何籌劃三餐，反思富裕非必然，要珍惜所有。

11月22日的時事問題比賽獲得完滿。是次比賽設有答問環節，範圍涉及人倫、道德、哲學、社會科學等範疇，學生只得一週時間，自行集思廣益，構思詳盡的答案，還要面對全校同學說清己見，當中有兩位中一的學生勇於發言，難能可貴。我們相信如此自由度甚高的課業，有助學生自發自主學習。

11月27日，師生一行二十多人到了明愛長州陳震夏郊野學園學習，並在島上大街小巷作實地考察，了解飲食全球化對長州的影響。

另外，我們舉辦了兩場師生午間辯論比賽，探討政府東大嶼的填海計劃是否應該？和在香港今時今日，養育一孩還是兩孩為宜？
