Jockey Club Community Sustainability Fund – Art Out-of-the-box Project

Our school participated in the "Jockey Club Community Sustainability Fund - Art Out-of-the-box Project". In this event, students can discover the fun of artistic creation even when they stay at home. Our P.6 students who participated in the project were given an "Art Out-of-the-box Project" educational booklet. The content is mainly based on the theme of Hong Kong. Through four creative art activities, students portrayed life in Hong Kong from different angles so that they could increase their community awareness and their sense of belonging. Our students learnt from artists online by scanning the QR Codes provided. There was also a collective creation part called "Floating City" for our students to take part in. Our floating city is now complete, with participation from our P.4 to P.6 students. You can go to the following link to look at our students' work :

Jockey Club "How Memory Sticks" Workshop (Phase 3)

Our school joined the Jockey Club "How Memory Sticks" Workshop (Phase 3) from 15^th to 23^rd June. Our P.4 to P.6 students took part in the workshop and learnt about different things such as artifacts, architectures and paintings. In order to strengthen our students' interest in and understanding of traditional Chinese art and culture, the Jockey Club "How Memory Sticks" Art Education Project launched in 2018. The programme lasts for three years and as the name suggests, the project will look for various "traces" related to traditional Chinese art and culture in today's life. In this way, we can learn to appreciate and respect these precious memories, and cultivate the correct attitude towards today's materialistic world. The project combines virtual reality and augmented reality technologies to develop traditional Chinese art and culture teaching courses suitable for upper primary and lower secondary schools, teacher workshops, multimedia displays and has set up an online platform. It is hoped that through a series of vivid and diversified art education activities, students and the general public can experience the taste of Chinese culture.

Children Water Tales: Creative Colouring Activity

Our P.2-P.6 students took part in a special activity named " Children Water Tales: Creative Colouring ", organized by the "JC-WISE" team. This project was funded by the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust to support the implementation by the School of Social Sciences of the University of Hong Kong. It aims to combine cross-professional sectors to promote understanding of how valuable water resources are and to emphasize the importance of achieving sustainable use of water resources.

The organizer invited the well-known Hong Kong comic creator, Chaoyat to create a children’s animation -"A Journey to the Stream", based on the plot of Tang Sanzang and Monkey King taking the journey to the West as a blueprint to convey to the public the importance of the sustainable use of water resources.

The animation is now complete. We can enjoy the animation at the link below. Students can also pay attention to whether their works have been selected by the comic creator. However, we shouldn’t be disappointed even if our works weren’t included in it because the biggest lesson from this activity is that everyone understands the importance of the sustainable use of water resources and learns to cherish them.

Standard Chartered Arts in the Park 2020 - Zentangle

Standard Chartered Arts in the Park is the largest outdoor youth art event and puppet parade in Hong Kong every year. It aims to help young people develop valuable skills through art and provide diversified art education activities. Since everybody has to maintain social distancing during the pandemic, communication is more important than before. Therefore, a series of "Art Fun at Home" activities was organized to provide young people with free art teaching kits. Our school also cooperated with this activity by applying for the relevant teaching kits, which were implemented in grades 4-6, including face-to-face courses and online real-time courses. We hope that our students will also be exposed to art while fighting the pandemic and can also maintain a positive well-being. Later, more students’ works will be collected and displayed on campus.
