我們透過不同的學習平台,希望培育學生
能夠充分了解兩岸及國際社會的發展趨
勢,且具備獨立的判斷能力,方可立足於
香港這個國際大都會,以至踏上世界舞
台。東華三院今年繼續籌辦多個不同主題
的遊學和參訪團,以此磨礪學生探求新知
的勇氣和尋找機遇的能力。在內地交流方
面,本院安排同學遠赴河北省宣化縣,參
加由清華大學主辦、曾憲備慈善基金代表
組織的「扶智荒週中學生教育扶貧暑期社
會實踐活動」,一面參與扶貧活動,一面
認識國情。另一個主題參訪團則為「三藩
市學生大使參訪團」,以「弘揚中國文
化,邁向世界公民」作主題,安排來自屬
下中學的24名學生大使親身體驗海外華
人生活和西方文化,以及了解東華三院無
私的慈善工作,藉此放眼世界,培養領袖
才能,成為一名品學兼備、具世界觀且富
責任感的公民。此外,東華三院小學聯校
「有品足球大使」計劃今年踏入第2個年
頭,去年11月,本院安排了35名有品足
球大使遠赴日本參加交流活動,親身體驗
日本人待人以禮、重視團結、持守紀律的
精神,同時促進兩地友誼及對彼此文化的
認識,以實現「踢好波、做好人、讀好
書、放眼世界」為目標,藉著足球訓練培
養學生的良好品德。至於由東華三院與一
帶一路國際研究院聯合主辦的「與青年人
同行,一帶一路交流計劃」,參與的學生
於今年3月下旬前往新加坡及馬來西亞進
行考察,通過探訪一帶一路網絡的城市,
認識新絲路帶來的前景和機遇。
拓展網絡 加強教學協同與交流機遇
東華三院積極向外為學生建立學習網絡,
拓展學生的視野和世界觀。現時東華三院
屬下32家中、小學和特殊學校已經與69
家內地學校締結為姊妹學校,藉著兩地學
校交流,達致優勢互補、攜手進步的效
益。由南往北、由近至遠,本院策略性地
在小學方面安排屬下小學與鄰近廣東省內
合適的學校結盟,本學年已安排屬下6所
小學與廣東省6所小學締結為姊妹學校。
中學方面,我們希望學生可以走得更遠,
所以姊妹學校網絡遍及福
建、杭州、上海、北京、
遼寧等地,今年再有屬
下5家中學與北京市5家
中學締結為姊妹學校。
Offering different learning platforms, we hope that our students
can get familiar with the developments in Greater China and the
international community, and make sound judgements on their
own, so that they will be able to succeed in Hong Kong and even
the rest of the world. During the year, TWGHs continued to organise
a number of thematic study tours and visits, with the purpose
of sharpening students’ courage to explore new knowledge and
their ability to identify opportunities. As for exchanges with the
Mainland, for example, we arranged some TWGHs students to
join an anti-poverty visit to Xuanhua County, Hebei Province for
the “Summer Service and Learning Programme in Rural China”,
which was organised by Tsinghua University and coordinated by
Tseng Hin Pei Charity Fund. During the trip, the students developed
a stronger sense of national identity while helping with poverty
alleviation. On another occasion, 24 student ambassadors from
TWGHs secondary schools joined a study tour to San Francisco. In
the tour, on a theme of “Promoting Chinese Culture and Becoming
World Citizens”, the students had the opportunity to appreciate the
life of overseas Chinese, Western culture, as well as TWGHs’ selfless
charity work around the globe. The tour was intended to develop
their international vision and leadership skills, so that they could
become world citizens with integrity, academic excellence and a
good sense of responsibility. Year 2017 also marked the 2nd year
of “TWGHs Joint Primary School Soccer Ambassador Programme”.
Last November, TWGHs organised an exchange tour to Japan for
35 TWGHs Soccer Ambassadors. They experienced at first hand
the politeness, solidarity and self-discipline of their Japanese
counterparts, and contributed to the friendship and cultural
exchange between both sides. With the goal of “being a good
soccer player and student with broad horizons”, the programme
is designed to nurture students’ good moral characters by means
of football training. TWGHs has launched the “Our Future, Our
Teenagers: Belt and Road Exchange Project” by working with the
International Academy of the Belt and Road. Some students joined
a study tour to Singapore and Malaysia in late March. By visiting the
cities along the network of the Belt and Road Initiative, they came
to appreciate the prospects and opportunities of the New Silk Road.
Expanding the Network to Strengthen Education
Cooperation and Exchange Opportunities
TWGHs actively builds an outward learning network for students,
so as to broaden their horizons and develop their world vision. At
present, 32 primary, secondary and special schools under TWGHs
have established sister-school relationship with 69 schools across the
Mainland. Such exchanges among schools contribute to the mutual
benefits and common progress of both sides. To be specific, TWGHs
deliberately developed its sister-school network from nearby
southern province to areas far in the north, strategically
arranged its primary schools to be paired with appropriate
ones in Guangdong Province. During the academic year, 6
TWGHs primary schools became sister-schools with their
counterparts in Guangdong. The sister-school network
is broader for TWGHs secondary schools, expanding to
cover Fujian, Hangzhou, Shanghai, Beijing, Liaoning and
other parts of the Mainland. This year, another 5 TWGHs
secondary schools were paired with their counterparts
in Beijing.
