新界校長會舉辦了「慶祝中華人民共和國成立70周年」學生徵文比賽。可譽小六級王瑤同學在是次比賽中榮獲小學組亞軍，可喜可賀！

香港，是我們熟悉的家。那大家認為甚麼物件能代表我們的家呢？王瑤同學想出了「霓虹燈」。她認為香港的霓虹招牌正逐漸消失，她想把霓虹燈放在天宮二號太空站，待八十周年國慶時取出，為這別具意義的歷史符號賦以獨特的價值。

        作為香港的一份子，王瑤認為自己有責任去保存香港獨有的文化。透過這個徵文比賽，王瑤積極表達霓虹燈與香港文化的關係，希望能盡一己之力，把香港獨特的一面保留並推廣出去。

To celebrate the 70th Anniversary of the Founding of The People’s Republic of China, New Territories School Heads Association organized a Chinese essay writing competition. We are pleased to announce that our P.6 student, Wang Yao, has won second place in the Primary Section.

Hong Kong is our beloved home. What can we symbolize it with? Wang Yao thought of ‘neon lights’ when she thought of Hong Kong. Neon lights are a shining example of Hong Kong’s heritage though it is gradually disappearing in the city. In her essay, she desired to place the neon lights onto China's Tiangong-2, a prototype of a space station, and take them back at the 80th Anniversary. This, she believed, should make the history more remarkable and meaningful.

As a Hongkonger, Wang Yao recognizes the importance of the cultural heritage and feels responsible for preserving it as far as she can. She hopes that by writing about the relationship between neon lights and Hong Kong, she can help raise people’s awareness and promote the need of preservation to the public.

由扶康會主辦，「樂建共融」第十五屆電能烹飪比賽已完滿結束，這個比賽提倡傷健共融，讓智障人士與社會大眾建立友誼。

可譽安排不同的體驗，讓同學學會關愛的精神。關愛他人，不應該局限於自己的生活圈子，而是從最親近的人開始，推廣至社區，乃至國家、世界。參加「樂建共融」烹飪比賽，可譽同學盡一己之力幫助身邊有需要的人，發揮可譽「普濟」的精神。同學為建立共融社會，又出了一分力。

We took part in the 15th Inclusive Electric Cooking Competition organized by Fu Hong Society. This event aims to build a harmonious society and walk together on the path to inclusion.

In the competition, three of our secondary 5 students teamed up with intellectually challenged team members to cook delicious meals together. With good teamwork, our students learned the importance of respecting and appreciating others.

Hoping to build a socially inclusive society, plenty of opportunities are always given to our students to show love and care to their family, their school, the society as well as the world. By joining this cooking competition, students helped people in need in the community and realised our school motto ‘to act benevolently’.

　　可譽於過去多年，透過「家長也科研」親子STEM比賽，讓幼稚園及小學家長與子女一起進行實驗，享受科研之樂。每年比賽參與者眾，反應熱烈。在今年暑假，我們舉辦了第十一屆親子STEM比賽，主題是「決戰乒乓」。這個活動既能培養孩子科學探究的精神，又能讓其享受親子時光。

         獲得「美學大獎及科研大獎」的馮善盈同學認為，看到研究了一個多月的作品成功發射，她感到十分興奮。在比賽期間，能夠觀摩其他參賽作品，她眼界大開。獲得「競速大獎」的蔡津仁、蔡洛仁同學，自幼稚園三年級便參加「家長也科研」比賽，參賽經驗相當豐富。他們感謝爸爸媽媽花不少時間和心思，協助他們製作乒乓發射器。駱隼謙同學與家人一起研究如何提高發射器的準確度，經過不斷的試驗，隼謙與爸爸完成了作品，最後獲得「神槍手大獎」。

         以上獲獎的同學，與父母一起研究科學，把科學帶到家中。是他們對於科研的堅持，讓他們探索到科學的奧妙。我們總相信，孩子在成長路上從探索知識，到認識自己，從而找到興趣以及人生方向，他們的發展定必能走上學習的正軌，朝向終身學習的方向。

We have been organising the “Science@Home” Parent-child Competition for many years to enable students and their parents to jointly design and conduct experiments, and share the joy of science. Students of kindergartens and primary schools have been invited to participate in the event with their parents. The number of participants grows every year. This year, our theme of the competition was “Ping Pong Shooter”.

Fung Sin Ying, the recipient of both the ‘Aesthetics Award’ and ‘Science Research Award’, was excited to see the shooter work after testing for a month. She also thought that the competition was an eye-opener as it provided a platform for participants to share their experiences and learn from one another. The winners of the ‘Speed Award’, Choy Jun Yan and Choy Lok Yan, have been participating since primary 3. This pair of experienced contestants expressed gratitude to their parents and thanked them for their time, effort and support. Lok Chun Him Cedric worked closely with his family, improved the accuracy of the shooter after some trial and error, and finally received the ‘Best Shooter Award’.

This competition encourages students and parents to collaborate and conduct experiments at home and explore the wonders of Science. The competition has not only enriched their knowledge, but also helped them develop a better understanding of themselves including their interests and life goals. We believe it is definitely a way to become lifelong learners.

可譽同學參與了由香港工程師學會──師傳薈主辦的「青年工程師體驗計劃2019──青年義『工』在社區」，比賽旨在讓學生利用工程知識，去解決社區的問題。參賽同學以智能種植系統「I-Tree」參與比賽，最後奪得桂冠。以下是獲獎的詳情：

            在上學年，高中許立邦、葉善權和王承韜同學於「WYNG Philomathia Machine Learning/AI Competition 2018-19」成為了勝出隊伍，與其他勝出隊伍(來自聖保祿學校、聖士提反書院、瑪利曼中學)一同前往英國，參觀劍橋大學，體驗大學課程，更進一步了解當地科研的發展。

            在英國之旅，三位同學與章景恆老師遊覽了有八百多年歷史的劍橋大學，參觀了學校的工程系。同學更有幸與劍橋大學的教授和學生共進晚餐，度過難忘的晚上。立邦、善權和承韜不忘學習，他們研究如何修改參賽的機器，然後把設計圖交給劍橋大學的教授和博士生，希望能夠獲得寶貴的意見。教授和博士生細心講解機械和程式的關係，讓三位同學了解更多AI建構的方法。

            三位同學了解到AI在英國的應用情況。在英國，人們把AI應用在日常生活，例如種植。這一切的體驗，讓可譽同學大開眼界，明白到要對AI有更進一步的認識，必須下更多的功夫。參加「WYNG Philomathia Machine Learning/AI Competition 2018-19」，章老師和三位同學懷著對科研的熱誠，埋頭苦幹作研究，希望在科學的海洋探索。及後的英國之旅，讓老師和同學體會到科學海洋的廣闊，相信他們會繼續以堅毅的心，認真進行科學研究。

A team of Ho Yu students, namely Hui Lap Pong, Wong Shing To and Yip Sin Kuen honorably won WYNG Philomathia Machine Learning/AI Competition 2018-19 and was entitled to a weeklong all-expenses paid trip to England this summer together with the other two winning teams from St. Paul's Convent School and St. Stephen's College, respectively. Accompanied by their coach teacher, Mr. Cheung King Hang, they experienced college life at the University of Cambridge and explored the local development of science research.

During the trip, our team was granted a golden opportunity to visit the University of Cambridge, one of the oldest and renowned universities in the world with a history dating back more than 800 years. They paid a visit to the Department of Engineering and were invited to meet the professors and PhD students of Cambridge and have dinner together. ( It was such an unforgettable night! Besides, in order to make further improvements on their winning machine, the three students modified their plan on the design and sought for professional advice from the professors and PhD students. They had a deeper understanding of AI development after receiving detailed and professional explanation on the relationship between mechanics and applications.

The trip definitely inspired the participants by further exposing them to the field of science development. Our team did not just have their knowledge about how science shapes the life of the local community, but also learned that AI is widely used in different industries such as farming in England. Through the competition and the trip, they have realized that perseverance and a lot more hard work is undoubtedly necessary to further explore AI applications. Passionate in science research and experiments, they are determined to experience the wonder of science by strengthening their knowledge, meeting the challenges and contributing towards the scientific and technological world in the future.
