Title:
Exhibition of “Smart City Project Programme 2018/19”
Venue:
Atrium Link and Charles K.Kao Auditorium, Hong Kong Science Park, Pak Shek Kok, Shatin
Description:
Objective:
“Smart City Project Programme 2018/19” is organised by the Education Bureau again this school year. It aims at helping students integrate and apply the knowledge and skills acquired from the school curriculum, in particular from STEM Education, to suggest innovative ways to realise the ideas of Smart City in the development of their home, school, community and city environment.
The exhibition will display the products of primary and secondary students receiving the “Outstanding” and “Commendable” Smart City Awards. It aims to acknowledge these students’ accomplishment by using STEM to solve daily life problems, as well as provide an opportunity for students and teachers to learn from each other.
Life-wide Learning Grant
Date:
1 SEP 2019 – 31 AUG 2020
Title:
Life-wide Learning Grant
Description:
Life-wide learning extends learning beyond the classroom to other contexts, and attaches great importance to learning in authentic contexts as it enables students to achieve learning objectives which are difficult to achieve through classroom learning alone. The knowledge, skills, positive values and attitudes that students acquire in experiential learning is important in developing their lifelong learning capabilities and fostering their whole-person development.
As proposed in the 2018 Policy Address, a recurrent Life-wide Learning Grant (the Grant) will be provided to public sector schools (including special schools) starting from the 2019/20 school year to support schools in taking forward, on the present foundation, life-wide learning with enhanced efforts. As for schools under the Direct Subsidy Scheme (DSS), the provision of the Grant will be subsumed in the DSS unit subsidy rates. Schools may, in light of their school contexts, flexibly deploy the Grant to organise more out-of-classroom experiential learning activities in different Key Learning Areas (KLAs) and curriculum areas, so as to enliven and enrich the learning experiences of students to broaden their horizons, enhance their learning motivation and interest, and foster their whole-person development.

Student Activities Support Grant
Date:
1 SEP 2019 – 31 AUG 2020
Title:
Student Activities Support Grant
Description:
Life-wide learning extends learning beyond the classroom to other contexts, and attaches great importance to learning in authentic contexts as it enables students to achieve learning objectives which are difficult to achieve through classroom learning alone. The knowledge, skills, positive values and attitudes that students acquire in experiential learning is important in developing their lifelong learning capabilities and fostering their whole-person development.
To support students with financial needs to participate in life-wide learning activities organised or recognised by schools, the Education Bureau (EDB) set up in early 2019 the Student Activities Support Fund, the investment return of which will be used to provide the SAS Grant for application from public sector schools (including special schools) and DSS schools starting from the 2019/20 school year.
Alongside the SAS Grant, the EDB will also provide public sector schools and DSS schools with the Life-wide Learning Grant starting from the 2019/20 school year to support schools in taking forward, on the present foundation, life-wide learning with enhanced efforts. Schools may, in light of their school contexts, flexibly deploy the Life-wide Learning Grant to organise more out-of-classroom experiential learning activities in different Key Learning Areas.
