Trace Your Roots: Inter-school History Essay Competition

Our school recently participated in the “Trace Your Roots: Inter-school History Essay Competition” organised by the Hongkong Young Historian Institute. The participants of the competition were Zhao Zhenyu (Class 5A), Chow Cheuk Hin (Class 4A) and Chan Wang Yu (Class 4B). The three students were required to write essays on any aspect of their family, school or community and were supervised by our Chinese History teacher, Mr Chan Pui To.

At the Award Presentation Ceremony held on 11 May 2024 at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Zhao Zhenyu was awarded the “Secondary School Student History Potential Award” by Dr Poon Lok of the Metropolitan University of Hong Kong, and Chan Wang Yu was awarded the “Best Essay Award of the Family History Group (Senior Group)” by Dr Billy Tang Ka Jau, Director of Society of Hong Kong History, which showed that the students' efforts were recognised by professional academic judges and public organisations.
