Man Kwan Pak Kau College has always attached great importance to students’ whole-person development. We are committed to providing students with diverse learning experiences, encouraging them to step beyond the classroom, broaden their horizons, and learn through exchange, exploration and experience. Through these opportunities, students can enhance their cross-cultural understanding, teamwork skills and capacity for self-directed learning.

From 29 October to 1 November 2026, our teachers and students joined the Suzhou Exchange Tour. The programme featured a wide range of learning activities, including sister-school exchange, classroom learning, cultural experiences, visits to historical sites and city exploration. The tour enabled students to experience the rich cultural heritage of Jiangnan and engage in meaningful exchanges with teachers and students from the Mainland.

On the second day of the tour, our students visited Zhangjiagang No. 2 Middle School for a sister-school exchange programme. On the same day, our students also took part in floral arrangement and tea art experience lessons, as well as a intangible cultural heritage handicraft workshop, gaining first-hand appreciation of the elegance, craftsmanship and cultural significance of traditional Chinese culture.

As part of the cultural exploration programme, students visited various landmarks, including Hanshan Temple, Zhouzhuang Ancient Town, Suzhou Museum, Humble Administrator’s Garden, Pingjiang Road, Jinji Lake and the Gate of the Orient. Through these field visits, students were able to appreciate the beauty of Suzhou’s classical gardens and water-town scenery, while deepening their understanding of local history, architectural art and urban development. These experiences helped connect classroom knowledge with real-life learning.

This valuable Suzhou exchange experience not only deepened students’ understanding of Jiangnan culture and educational development in the Mainland, but also enhanced their communication skills, powers of observation and cultural literacy. It has laid a solid foundation for their future learning and personal growth.

The school will continue to promote a variety of overseas exchange and experiential learning opportunities, providing students with broader learning platforms and encouraging them to broaden their global outlook, understand our country and connect with society as they grow through diverse learning experiences.
