Twenty-four aspiring journalists from Primary Four to Six of Tai Po Old Market Public School visited electronics distributor Shun Hing Group on May 22 (pictured below).
The tour began with an introduction to the group and a viewing session of television commercials from the 1980s up to this April. The students, mostly born in the early 1990s, were intrigued by the evolution of household appliances and electronic products through the decades.
The children were divided into two groups, one of which would write an article titled, 'Kick off with TV commercial' and the other, 'If I were a Panasonic creation'. They explained their feelings after viewing a commercial of a Panasonic air purifier and after visiting the group's facilities.
Another group interviewed William Mong, chairman of the group, and wrote articles titled: 'Dr Mong in the eyes of primary students' and 'Sir Q's busy day as group chairman and father' (Sir Q is Dr Mong's nickname within the group, originating from the quality management system he implemented).
The articles will be published in Shun Hing Voice, the group's newsletter.
Also included in the programme was a tour of the group's loading and unloading facilities and the warehouses.
