Pui Ching held a flag-raising ceremony at 8a.m. today in commemoration of the 23^rd anniversary of the founding of the Macao S.A.R..  As the national anthem was played, the national flag and regional flag slowly rose toward the top of the poles.  Pastor Au Yeung led the prayer, giving thanks for the prosperity of our country and the safe environment where we can teach and learn despite the pandemic. 

Principal Kou mentioned that although life has not been easy in the last three years, the Macao government has maintained its investment in education and in protective measures against the pandemic.  Principal Kou reminded teachers and students to stay safe as the virus spreads.  He also encouraged teachers and students to continue to contribute to technology education in accordance with the country’s newest policy.  Last but not least, Principal Kou wished everyone health, happiness, and many blessings.

Representatives of Pui Ching Middle School contributed MOP$340,686 of charity funds to the community chest through this year’s Walk for Millions event.

Principal Kou expressed hope that teachers and students can offer help to the underprivileged through the Walk for Millions charity event.  Walk for Millions has moved online this year, and the school strongly encourages teachers and students to participate in the virtual community event.

Our Senior 2 students and teachers attended a talk this afternoon on low-carbon development in Macao.  The talk was given by Dr. Choi Sai Peng, our member of board of directors and president of the Macao Urban Planning Institute.  Dr. Choi discussed China’s goals of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality and the social and economic development of the Great Bay Area.

As the first school in China to participate in the zero-carbon emissions scheme, Pui Ching encourages students to be aware of the importance of reducing carbon emissions and to practice living a low-carbon lifestyle.  Students actively asked questions on various issues to Dr. Choi after the talk and learned much from the discussion.

Pui Ching engaged in online exchange with Zilanghu Experimental School of Nantong on September 9.  The two schools shared their founding principles and teaching methodologies, laying a solid foundation for future cooperation.  It is hoped that in the future, both schools can pay visits to each other for academic exchange activities.

Representatives of Pui Ching Middle School who participated in the online exchange session included Principal Kou Kam Fai, Vice-Principals Kuok Keng Man, Chan Keng Lim and Ieong Pui Ian, Director Leong Veng Tong of the Moral Education Office, Director Fung Sio Han of the Primary School Academic Affairs Office, and Director Wong Kit Peng of the Primary School Moral Education Office.  Representatives of Zilanghu Experimental School included Principal Zhou Shi Jian, Vice-Principals Yi Jun, Zuo Xiu Li and Wang Hai Xia, and Director Zhang Yan.
