The purpose of the study tours is to expose our students to a wider range of learning experiences and opportunities in order to broaden their global vision. When studying with young people from various cultures, our students are readying themselves with creativity, communication skills, collaborative skills, discernment, values and citizenship which are key to future success.
Study tours take students beyond the familiar and the experience is turned into deep learning through reflective assignments and integration with different subjects. Our theme-based and curriculum-based study tours are not simply a chance for language practice; they also offer opportunities for students to get knowledge of culture, history, art, technology, learn about conservation and the university education of other countries.
In December, a delegation of 28 teachers and students from our school embarked on an enriching eight-day “History and Culture Study Tour to Germany, the Czech Republic, and Poland.” The journey began in Poland, where the group visited the Warsaw Rising Museum, the Holy Cross Church, and the historic city of Kraków, followed by a solemn visit to the Auschwitz Concentration Camp that prompted deep, philosophical reflections on the painful history of war, hatred, and the value of freedom. Traveling south into the Czech Republic, the study tour enjoyed the breathtaking sights of the UNESCO World Heritage town of Český Krumlov under clear winter skies. In the capital city of Prague, they walked across the iconic Charles Bridge and through the Golden Lane, discovering Bohemian history beyond their textbooks while immersing themselves in the fairy-tale atmosphere of the winter Christmas markets.
During the second half of the journey, the students crossed the border into Dresden, Germany, to admire Raphael’s renowned masterpiece, the Sistine Madonna, at the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister (Old Masters Picture Gallery). Upon arriving in Berlin, they ascended the massive glass dome of the Reichstag Building to enjoy a spectacular 360-degree night view of the capital, and gathered at a Chinese restaurant for a heartwarming surprise birthday celebration for two Secondary One students. On the final day of the itinerary, the group visited the Berlin Wall (East Side Gallery) and the Brandenburg Gate to hear compelling stories of the confrontation between the US and the USSR during the Cold War. They concluded their academic adventure at the Altes Museum (Old Museum), standing face-to-face with classical Greco-Roman sculptures that often appear in their textbooks, thereby deepening their understanding of the cradle of European civilization. This invaluable overseas learning experience not only concluded on a joyful note with a trivia game on the way to the airport but also successfully instilled in the students a cross-era historical perspective and profound humanitarian empathy.
From 15 to 16 November 2025, our students travelled to Shenzhen, China, to take part in the Shenzhen Maker Faire Technology Learning Tour. This annual international event brought together companies, academic institutions, and innovative teams from around the world. It aimed to give students firsthand experience of global technological exchange, the opportunity to showcase their learning achievements, and inspiration to develop creative ideas.
During the exhibition, our students presented several awards‑winning projects, including “E‑parking,” “Smart Air Guardian System for the Elderly,” and “E‑bin.” These projects applied artificial intelligence technologies and demonstrated the students’ creativity and ability to integrate innovation with practical technology. They also introduced their design ideas to visitors from around the world and exchanged insights with international makers and industry representatives, gaining a deeper understanding of global technological trends.
Through the Shenzhen Maker Faire Technology Learning Tour, students not only showcased their achievements in technology and innovation but also broadened their international horizons, strengthened cross‑cultural communication, and developed teamwork skills. The experience deepened their appreciation of the limitless potential of technological innovation and motivated them to explore and pursue new ideas in their future learning.

From October 30 to November 3, 2025, our students traveled to Shanghai to participate in the “Shanghai Maker Faire Deep Learning Exchange Program,” where they showcased their remarkable achievements in information technology and broadened their innovative horizons through international exchange!
During the exhibition, students presented various AI and IT projects, including the use of generative AI to introduce Hong Kong’s iconic landmarks and cuisine, AI programming, and the application of IoT in daily life. They provided detailed explanations of their creative concepts and technical applications to visitors and engaged in in-depth exchanges with makers and participants from around the world to gain insight into the latest trends in AI and IT development.
In addition to the exhibition, students visited several historically and culturally significant sites in Shanghai and Suzhou, such as the Humble Administrator’s Garden (one of Suzhou’s four famous classical gardens), Pingjiang Historical and Cultural Street, Shantang Street, and Duolun Road Cultural Street in Shanghai. These visits allowed students to immerse themselves in rich cultural experiences and broaden their knowledge.
This program not only provided students with an opportunity to showcase their learning achievements but also inspired their creative thinking and global perspectives!

To broaden students’ learning horizons, students from Man Kwan Pak Kau College in the international program, together with the volleyball team, visited our sister school—Shenzhen Guangming Senior High School—for an exchange. During the visit, students attended IELTS and IAL Mathematics lessons with peers from mainland China. Meanwhile, the volleyball team played a friendly match with the sister school, which ended in a draw.
In the afternoon, teachers and students from both schools visited a newly opened science museum in Shenzhen and explored cutting-edge technological innovations.
This exchange not only strengthened ties between the two places but also broadened students’ horizons and learning opportunities, making it a particularly meaningful educational journey.
Due to the inquiry from the Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data, we have removed any related class assignments and student list documents from our website.
