“Heart-warming Figures in School” Sharing Activity
[English version for reference only]
As part of EDUHK’s 30th anniversary celebrations, we are launching the “Heart-warming Figures in School” sharing activity to promote a culture of care and gratitude in the school community.

- To acknowledge and celebrate contributions of teaching staff and support staff to the growth of their students
Eligibility
- Divided into 4 categories: Kindergartens, Primary Schools, Secondary Schools and Special Schools

Each student may submit one true story of heart-warming act(s) by a particular staff member of his/her school, including but not limited to school principals, teachers, administrative and support staff, workmen, school bus drivers, etc. Consent of the related staff member must be sought.
