Seventeen S.4 and S.5 students, along with two teachers, from TWGSS joined the 2015 Hong Kong Government Secondary School Study Tour to Taiwan. The tour consisted of more than 160 students and teachers from 13 different schools. The 5-day programme aimed at giving students insight into sustainable development in Taiwan.
Visits to four universities, including Tungnan University, National Changhua University of Education, Feng Chia University and Shu-Te University, as well as famous tourist spots like Paper Dome, GuangXing Pulp Factory, Ten-Drum Culture Village and night markets were conducted. Through talks, on-site investigation and hands-on work, students learnt about the local culture and environmental conservation in Taiwan, and which they then used to reflect on the situation in Hong Kong. They also had an exceptional time making handicrafts, tasting village specialty dishes and enjoying performances. It was such a valuable experience for everyone.
