Hong Kong student awards point to a bright future
- The city’s youngsters are talented, creative and dedicated, as seen in those who won prizes at the Student of the Year Awards, but what is also clear in these uncertain times is that we must do more to nurture the development of all our people, young and old
Tens of thousands of Hong Kong students will get their university entrance examination results tomorrow.
Among them are some who have had an early taste of success in the prestigious Student of the Year Awards, an annual event organised by the Post and sponsored by the Hong Kong Jockey Club in recognition of youngsters’ achievements in different fields.
They embody the very spirit behind this year’s theme – take action to drive positive change.
The 37 awardees converged on Saturday in a ceremony celebrating their excellence and the legacy of a meaningful event held for more than four decades.
They were picked from hundreds of Form Four to Form Six pupils competing for 11 awards in nine categories, including languages, science, sports, and visual and performing arts.
