From December 22nd to 24th, two teams consisting of 16 junior high school students from our school participated in the 2023-2024 Future City National Exposition under the guidance of their teachers Mr. Lei Chan Pong and Ms. Cheng Weng Cheng.  A total of 120 secondary and primary school teams from 29 cities across the country attended the event.  Our “Life on Land” Team successfully advanced to the finals and ultimately won the First Prize in the national competition as well as the Special Award for Best On-Site Presentation.  Our second team received the Third Prize in the national competition, the "Powering the Future" Special Award, as well as the Best Peer Evaluation Award.

The theme of the Future City National Exposition this year was "Affordable and Clean Energy," one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals proposed by the United Nations.  The students were tasked with designing an "Electrified City" 100 years from now which will completely rely on clean energy for power generation, mitigating the greenhouse effect caused by carbon emissions.  The competition required students to design city models according to the theme, write essays and project plans, and finally present and defend their models on stage.

With the pandemic receding, many activities have returned to normal, and the budget of the S.A.R. government for 2024 has recorded a small surplus. In the field of education, both the PISA scores in basic education and the rankings of local universities have shown excellent performance. These are the results of the joint efforts of both teachers and students.
