本校共十位中小學生獲得由民政事務總署頒發的融和獎學金，以表揚他們在學校和社區參與種族融和活動方面、學業成績及品行方面均有良好表現。

得獎學生名單如下:

得獎學生積極參與校園及社區的活動，他們以自己的興趣作橋樑，盡力融入和推動校園的共融文化。我們訪問了獲獎的同學，了解他們的生活和獲獎的秘訣。

「融和獎學金」得主 —P5A Gurung Rehana

Rehana積極參與校外的朗誦及講故事比賽，並獲得多個獎項。廣東話並非Rehana的母語，為了能在比賽中展現最好的一面，她需要花更多的時間練習。她認真練習廣東話的態度及在比賽時自信的表現，都令同學都深受鼓勵，更推動校內同學學習中文的氣氛。

在校園中，Rehana積極與不同文化背景的同學溝通和交流，亦成為本地學生與非華語學生之間的橋樑，締造校園和諧的氣氛。在本校舉行共融活動時，Rehana與家長都會積極參與，與同學交流尼泊爾及香港的文化，增加學生對不同文化的認識，促進文化共融。

「融和獎學金」得主 —P5A Paudyal Kaya

Kaya 具求知好問的精神，她沒有因語言的限制而卻步。對於不理解的事物，她都會即時請教老師或同學，其認真求學的態度亦影響了身邊的同學，帶動班內的學習氣氛。此外，她亦願意接受不同的文化，常與不同種族的同學交流，並熱衷於分享自己國家的點滴，促進同學之間的文化交流。

「融和獎學金」得主 —P5C Gang Sungwoo

Gang Sungwoo以韓語作為主要語言，在他剛入讀本校小二級時，因不諳中文和英文，以致與同學較難交流，但他積極學習，勇於嘗試與同學以不同的語言溝通，積極融入於同學當中，漸漸和同學打成一片。

在學習上，因為Sungwoo學習中文的起步較遲，做中文功課時，常會遇到困難，但他非常努力學習，亦會盡力嘗試利用不同的方法完成功課，如查字典、請教同學及師長……他從不放棄，勇氣可嘉。在這幾年間，他憑着個人的努力，使其中文成績在非華語班內名列前茅，值得鼓舞。

「融和獎學金」得主 — P6A Recio Fabregat Hugo

Hugo熱愛踢足球，並希望以足球匯聚文化，並達交流之效。Hugo受其父親Fernando Recio Comí(2013/14球季香港足球先生)的影響，自小對足球產生興趣，Hugo看見父親不受國籍、語言、文化的影響，在香港的球隊中與本地的隊友並肩作戰，發揮個人的能力和天賦，使Hugo決心跟隨父親的步伐，在足球運動上為香港作出貢獻。

Hugo自6歲便加入了傑志足球學院及本校足球隊，每週參與恆常的練習，在訓練的期間，Hugo為了不讓語言成為與隊員溝通的障礙，便努力學習中文。而他的努力亦見成效，Hugo與本地的隊員合作良好，常常互相鼓勵，甚有默契，打成一片。他在本校足球隊亦有出色表現，多次奪得獎項。

「融和獎學金」得主 — S4C 戴依亭

同學的心聲：

        升讀可譽中學後，我認識了很多本地同學，他們教了我很多關於中文的知識和技巧。我的選修科之中，視藝科是以中文為課堂語言，當我在功課上有不明白的地方時，其他同學們都會耐心地教導我。我經常以廣東話與他們溝通交流，所以我的廣東話也流利了不少，有些同學更會教導我普通話呢﹗

        另一方面，我也會與他們分享學習英文的心得，例如當中的技巧及發音，所以透過學習，我們建立了深厚的友誼。

「融和獎學金」得主 — S4A 美娜

同學的心聲：

        還記得升上中四時，第一天需要作自我介紹，當時我緊張極了，幸好經過老師的鼓勵，我漸漸建立自信。還記得那時我以廣東話介紹自己，同學們十分驚訝我能說流利廣東話，更為我鼓掌。這全因我自小便學習廣東話，所以我能與本地生作良好的溝通，我十分感謝曾教導我中文的老師。自那天起，我漸漸融入本地同學的圈子，建立友誼。

對我來說，學習中文並不困難，只要努力，一定有所成就。希望我日後能學習更多中文知識，結交更多本地朋友。

「融和獎學金」得主 — S4A 曾美軒

同學的心聲：

        我自小學習廣東話，所以我能以流利的廣東話與本地學生交流。還記得有一年的聖誕晚會，老師問我們會否參加才藝表演，我當時自信地舉手，因為我想教老師及同學們巴基斯坦語。回到家後，我便與媽媽一起商討教授的步驟、細節。表演當天，我十分緊張，但亦十分期待。同學們起初認為巴基斯坦語言很難，但我用了簡單的詞語，以及遊戲的方式，最終他們都學會了。

        那天，我感到非常高興和自豪，因為我向本地同學介紹了我們的文化，他們亦承諾會「回禮」，教我更多中文詞語及廣東話。

「融和獎學金」得主 — S4A 鄧依琪

同學的心聲：

        我是一位非華語學生，來自巴基斯坦，但我與本地學生融洽相處，建立友誼。

        還記得中一的時候，我不知道圖書館在哪裡，當時有一名本地學生見我東張西望，便前來問我發生甚麼事，我告訴他我想去圖書館，她十分友善，主動帶我前往，後來我們更成為了好朋友，她是我在可譽的第一位本地朋友。

        當我遇上中文功課的困難，我會請教本地學生，或當本地學生有英文上的問題，我也會耐心地教導他們。我們也會互相了解彼此的文化，例如我會參與一些中國傳統節日，如農曆新年等。

「融和獎學金」得主 — S4A 章心美

同學的心聲：

        來到可譽後，我必須以中文及廣東話與學生和老師交流，雖然過程困難，但我的中文語言水平亦因而進步神速。

        我曾代表學校向其他學校的老師和同學分享，那時我需要在眾人面前以廣東話作匯報。我十分緊張，幸好得到老師的鼓勵，以及我事先準備充足，最終能順利完成。

        學習中文對我來說十分重要，因為我將來也會在香港生活，我必須有一定的中文水平，才能融入香港社會。

「融和獎學金」得主 — S4A Salonga Mateo Ciane M.

同學的心聲：

        我中一時便加入可譽這個大家庭，起初我並不習慣，因為其他同學大多數是香港本地生，我和本地生溝通上出現困難。幸好，我參加了學校的啦啦隊課外活動，讓我的校園生活變得多姿多采。

啦啦隊這項活動講求團隊精神、隊員之間的信任，所以溝通十分重要。我在那裡認識了很多本地朋友，漸漸建立友誼。交流多了，令我的廣東話水平突飛猛進，我從感到尷尬，變得勇於表達自己。感謝他們，令我能融入校園。

Inclusive Campus - Harmony Scholarships Scheme for NCS Students

A total of ten primary and secondary students from Ho Yu were awarded the Harmony Scholarships from Home Affairs Department for their enthusiastic participation in school and community services (particularly activities promoting racial harmony), excellent academic results and conduct.

The awardees include:

The awardees actively participate in various school and community activities to blend in and promote inclusive campus culture through their own hobbies.

Awardee of the Harmony Scholarship - P5A Gurung Rehana

Rehana is eager to participate in various speech and storytelling competitions and has won multiple awards. Since Cantonese is not REHANA’s mother tongue, she must spend much more time to practise for the best performance. Her conscientiousness and confidence even motivated her fellow classmates to study Chinese harder.

Serving as a bridge between local students and non-Chinese speaking students, Rehana is eager to communicate and interact with schoolmates from different cultural backgrounds with a view to creating a harmonious multicultural campus. REHANA and her parents also participate in various activities to share and exchange Nepal and Hong Kong cultures with other classmates so that they get to know and appreciate each other’s cultures.

Awardee of the Harmony Scholarship - P5A Paudyal Kaya

Kaya is curious in learning despite the language barrier. She will consult her teachers or classmates at once when she comes across something unclear. She also influences her classmates and promotes the learning atmosphere in her class. In addition, she is willing to embrace various cultures and befriend schoolmates in different races. She enjoys sharing the culture of her mother country to promote cultural exchange among students.

Awardee of the Harmony Scholarship - P5C Gang Sungwoo

Sungwoo speaks Korean as his first language. He joined our school when he was in primary two. As he spoke neither Chinese nor English then, it was quite difficult for him to communicate with his classmates. Nevertheless, he was eager to learn and gave it his best shot to communicate with them in different languages. Therefore, he blended in very fast.

As a late starter in Chinese learning, Sungwoo often had difficulties doing his Chinese homework. But still, he studied very hard and made every endeavour to finish the homework, such as looking up words in the dictionary, asking his classmates and teachers for help, etc. His resilience is indeed incredible. Thanks to his efforts over the past few years, we are proud to say that his Chinese academic results are now among the top in the NCS Chinese class.

Awardee of the Harmony Scholarship - P6A Recio Fabregat Hugo

Hugo is passionate about soccer and hopes to promote cultural exchange through this sport. Influenced by his father Fernando Recio Comí (Hong Kong Top Footballer in 2013/14), HUGO has been interested in soccer ever since he was a little child. HUGO’s father has been cooperating well with his local team members while giving full play to his own capability and talent despite the very nationality, language and cultural barriers. Following in his father’s footsteps, HUGO dedicates himself to Hong Kong’s soccer industry.

Hugo has joined the Kitchee Academy and our school’s soccer team since the age of 6, and attended regular training every week. He also studied Chinese very hard to overcome the language barrier. His hard work eventually paid off. HUGO is getting along well with his local teammates. As a dream team, they always cheer each other up. His outstanding performance contributes to our soccer team’s multiple wins.

Awardee of the Harmony Scholarship - S4C Tai Sabrina Yi Ting

        I got to know many local students at Hoyu College. They taught me a lot about Chinese. Among my elective subjects, Visual Arts are taught in Chinese. When I had problems doing my homework, my classmates would teach me patiently. As I always communicate with them in Cantonese, my Cantonese has been a lot more fluent now. Some of them even taught me Putonghua! 

        In addition, I would share with them how I learned English, such as the skills and pronunciation. As such, we facilitated our friendship through learning.

Awardee of the Harmony Scholarship - S4A Laraib

        I remembered when I was in secondary 4, I had to introduce myself on the first day of school. I was really nervous then. Gradually, with the encouragement of my teachers, I have been more confident. I remembered when I introduced myself in Cantonese, my classmates were very surprised and they even clapped for me. As I have been learning Cantonese since I was young, I can communicate well with local students. I am very grateful to my Chinese teachers too. Since that day, I gradually blended in and made friends with my local classmates.

To me, learning Chinese is not that difficult. As long as I work hard, I can achieve what I want. I hope I can learn more about Chinese and make more local friends.

Awardee of the Harmony Scholarship - S4A Faisal Maheen

        As I have been learning Cantonese since I was young, I can communicate with local students in fluent Cantonese. I remembered at a Christmas party, the teacher asked if we were going to perform in the talent show. I volunteered because I wanted to teach my classmates and teachers the language of Pakistan. I discussed with my mum the teaching steps and details at home. On the day of performance, I was very nervous, but also looking forward to it. At first, my classmates thought that the language would be hard to learn. So I used simple words and games to help them learn the language. The outcome was very satisfying!

        I was very happy and proud that day as I introduced my culture to them. They in return promised to teach me more Chinese words and Cantonese.   

Awardee of the Harmony Scholarship - S4A Batool Tazki

        Although I am an NCS student from Pakistan, I am getting along well with the local students here.

        When I was in secondary 1, I once had problem finding the school library. Seeing me look around confused, a local student came and asked me what happened. I told her that I wanted to go to the library. It was very nice of her to lead the way and took me there. After that, we have become good friends, and she was the first local friend of mine at Ho Yu.

        When I come across difficulties in doing Chinese homework, I would seek help from the local students. Likewise, when they have questions about English, I would in return teach them patiently. We learn about each other’s cultures as well. For example, I would celebrate some of the Chinese traditional festivals, such as Chinese New Year.

Awardee of the Harmony Scholarship - S4A Kalsoom Ijaz

        Studying at Ho Yu, I need to communicate with classmates and teachers in Cantonese. Although it is very challenging, my Chinese proficiency has improved significantly.

        I once participated in a sharing session with another school’s teachers and students, and I had to speak in front of everyone in Cantonese. I was very nervous at that time. Fortunately, with ample preparation and teacher’s encouragement, I delivered the speech successfully.

        Learning Chinese is essential to me. As I will be staying in Hong Kong, I must attain certain Chinese proficiency to integrate into the society.

Awardee of the Harmony Scholarship - S4A Salonga Mateo Ciane M.

        I joined the Ho Yu family since secondary one. At first, I was not very used to it because most of my classmates were local students whom I had difficulties communicating with. Fortunately, I joined the cheerleading team enriching my school life.

Cheerleading focuses on teamwork and mutual trust between team members. Therefore, communication is a must. I have made many local friends here. The more I talked in Cantonese, the more I improved. At first, I did feel a bit awkward, but now I am brave enough to express myself. Thanks to them, I blend in so well.
