What's Out There?

Based on our school context, our learning trips have undergone a process of development as their design how a vertical flow from experiencing Self, Culture, Multicultural Exploration and lastly Serving in Different Cultures.  These trips are highlights of the HKUGA College experience with most describing the learning as something that could not be achieved within the classroom. The overview is described further below:

S1 Camp

1. To build self-confidence and awareness
2. To build a sense of responsibility
3. To foster early leadership
4. To promote environmental awareness

S2 Cultural Trip

1. To analyze why and how interacting relationships arise between foreign and local cultures
2. To relate knowledge of other cultures with our self concepts
3. To learn about the biodiversity in the tropical regions and reflect on the importance of environmental conservation
4. To explore how innovation and technology could help address urban challenges

S3 and S4 Multicultural Exploration + Cross Curricular Project

1. To explore the history, present and future development of a multicultural society i.e. Singapore
2. To experience and learn more about education systems in a multicultural society
3. To compare the development/culture/policies of different societies and Hong Kong
4. To expand our understanding of what it means to be a global citizen

Additional Student Trips

There are also opportunities to experience of the wider world through trips linked with subjects, Chinese Cultural Enhancement, Sister School Project and CERS.

For CERS (Chinese Exploration and Research Society), we are privileged to have forged a relationship with this organisation that has had a massive impact on world understanding and the conservation of both wildlife and human cultures through education and entrepreneurial efforts.  There are multiple sites to be explored, and as a school, we currently send subsidised students off the ‘beaten track’ to Myanmar and Shangrila.  The learning from these trips is brought back into the school through multiple streams throughout the year.
