Aberdeen Baptist Lui Ming Choi College 11 Aberdeen Reservoir Road Aberdeen, Hong Kong BASIC training in music and sports is no less important than textbook knowledge in the process of education, according to the principal of Aberdeen Baptist Lui Ming Choi College.
Principal Lai Wai-ting, who has served the college for 19 years, said cultivating students' interest in music and sports was one of the priorities of the school.
All Form One students are required to learn one type of musical instrument.
'They are given the chance to try and see if they are interested in an instrument and would like to spend more time on it. If they are interested in learning it, it will become one of their life-long assets,' principal Lai told Young Post .
'Sports helps students build up healthy bodies,' he added.
Saying the objective of the school is to 'popularise' music and sports among students, principal Lai said it would pool its resources to benefit as many students as possible rather than focusing on training a handful of 'elites'.
