The 2021 World Robot Olympiad Macao Regional Contest was held on July 24 and 25.  The competition attracted over 600 student contestants (224 teams) from 26 secondary and primary schools in Macao.  Students from Pui Ching won the greatest number of awards among all schools. 

In response to the flood in Henan Province, Pui Ching donated to the disaster-stricken district the MOP$700,000 which it raised earlier this month through the English charity musical put forth by the Pui Ching Wind Orchestra and our primary school students.

Principal Kou and 24 teacher and student representatives visited the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government in the Macao S.A.R. this afternoon to donate the fund and were received by Deputy Director Yan Zhi Chan. 

Pui Ching has been holding fundraising events since 2013.  To date, we have donated to various organizations and regions, including the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF), the Valley of Blessings Charity Association of Portugal, Yingde City of Guangdong Province, Gansu Province, and Africa.  We hope to instill in our students social responsibility and a sense of local and global identity. 

The 40th Interschool Dance Contest was held yesterday and today at the University of Macau.

Two teams from Pui Ching participated in the secondary school category of the contest.  Team A won the distinction award, the highest award, with their dance, The Argun.  Team B won the merit award with their dance, The Ocean Is My Home. 

In the primary school category, our students danced The Drunken Dragon and won the creativity award and the distinction award, the highest award.
