The Macao Junior Table Tennis Team Tournament was held today.  Pui Ching Middle School played Yuet Wah College.  S3B student Fok Chin Chong quickly entered the game with a 2:0 lead, but was unable to keep it up.  Yuet Wah reversed the game and won the first round by 3:2.  Fortunately, the subsequent key players Hoi Hou Hang and Chan Hin In came through with flying colors, winning the next round by 3:0, leading the game by 2:1.  Hoi Hou Hang began the following round with a 2:0 lead which turned into a 2:2 tie but eventually won the match point at 11:9, with a final score of 3:1.  After five years, Pui Ching again won the championship in the Junior Table Tennis Team Tournament.

The opening ceremony for the CTM x Pui Ching 5G Smart Apps Research Laboratory was held this afternoon at the school assembly hall.  This is the first 5G Smart Apps Research Laboratory located in a secondary school in Macao.  It aims to give room to the expression of innovative ideas from teachers and students. 

The opening ceremony for the research laboratory was initiated when various guests touched the screen on their iPads.  Our teacher Ms. Wan Chi Fong introduced the research projects on 5G smart apps development.  The ceremony marks a new chapter in education reform and the beginning of Pui Ching’s cooperation with CTM to build a 5G smart campus.

Following the ceremony, various guests visited the 5G Smart Apps Research Laboratory for an introduction of the research projects.  Currently, the laboratory offers a virtual tour app for our China Culture House.  It also houses the research center for service robots and underwater robots.  It is hoped that teachers and students can make use of the ultra-high speed and low latency of 5G networks to conduct more research projects here.

Pui Ching Middle School has always been devoted to the promotion of environmental protection.  Teachers and students often participate in the Green School Award Scheme held by the Environmental Protection Bureau.  In the 2020 Green School Award Scheme, Pui Ching won the highest award, the Platinum Award as an eco-friendly school.  Three teachers (Lam Un Mei, Kuok Chan Ip, Wong Suet Lin) and seven students won the Fans of the Green School Award together.  Four teachers (Chan Lai Leng, Leong Im Hong, Lao Si Man, Cheng Si Teng) won the Merit Award in the Environmental Protection Instructional Design Award Scheme.
