On 15 August 2023, ASJ G12 students went to The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) for a study tour to learn more about the techniques of taking public diploma examination papers and the journey of CUHK seniors in fulfilling their dreams.
Founded in 1963, The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) is a forward-looking comprehensive research university with a global vision and a mission to combine tradition with modernity, and to bring together China and the West. CUHK teachers and students hail from all around the world. CUHK graduates are connected worldwide through an extensive alumni network.
As a top university in Hong Kong and Asia, CUHK aims to nurture students with both specialized knowledge and wisdom for life. The education experience here is distinguished by a flexible credit unit system, a college system, bilingualism and multiculturalism. There are general education courses to broaden students' perspectives and develop in them the ability to face the challenges of contemporary society. Our eight Faculties offer a wide array of excellent undergraduate and postgraduate programmes.
Face-to-face with
CUHK staff and students
At 10:30am, students entered the "Creation Museum" of The Chinese University of Hong Kong in an orderly manner to listen to Principal Chan Chi-kin's lecture on the competency guidance for Paper 1 (Reading) and Paper 2 (Writing) of the Diploma of Secondary Education Examination (DSE) Public Examination. At the seminar, all the students thought carefully about the materials in their hands, and their eyes full of curiosity and certainty revealed the state of a senior high school student who is preparing for the examination. Professor Chen gave a wealth of knowledge and advice on the skills of the students from the problems they had encountered in the public exams in the past years, which provided them with meaningful guidance on "accurate problem solving" in the real world.
The students had a lunch break at the Li Wai Chun Building led by teachers from The Chinese University of Hong Kong. In the afternoon after the rain, the students returned to the "Creation Museum" and mastered the use of EDU Venture software according to the introduction. Afterwards, they went out for a literature walk to experience discovering the mission objectives in different corners of the campus according to the clues, taking photos for uploading and posting text missions.
After the Literature Walk, the students had a free conversation with the seniors who led the group, listened to the seniors share their dream journey of "CUHK", and asked the seniors questions about their future study, career planning and life journey according to their own ideals and interests, and shared their thoughts with each other, with bursts of laughter, in-depth and intense. The sharing of ideas was very lively, deep and intense.
After direct and free spiritual sharing, ASJ students still can't get enough. It is believed that this "Ivory Tower" experience has injected greater motivation and faith in the hearts of the students, and will be a deep benefit in the next year's sprint study. Let us together with the seed of ideal, hard work, striving forward. We will eventually find that the "work is not a donation", the future can be expected.
