A sports meet may have given a few pointers as to what makes a good teacher.
Teachers who combine their intellectual capacity with mental and physical toughness have a better chance of being successful in their profession.
Hong Kong Sam Yuk Secondary School, led by its principal Lawrence Yu, emerged overall champions at the 18th Hong Kong Teachers' Sports Meet held at Wan Chai Sports Ground.
Among the top performers were Leung Sin-yu, women's Grade A champion, Michael Liu and Law Hing-wa.
As education aims to develop all-round students who can successfully integrate into society, we believe that good teachers enjoy working as a team. They should be knowledgeable, possess excellent social skills and be physically and mentally tough.
The organisers, Hong Kong Teachers' Association, are in no doubt that the competition will help achieve their objectives.
