2021 is the 100^th anniversary of the birth of the Chinese Communist Party.  To foster patriotic sentiments among youths of Hong Kong and Macao, the Chinese Marine Models Association and the China (Macao) Technology Education and Physical Education Association held opening talks for the “Red Boat in the South Lake” Interdisciplinary Educational Activities this morning in the assembly hall of Pui Ching.

The “Red Boat in the South Lake” Interdisciplinary Educational Activities featured a series of talks on the history of the Chinese Communist Party.  Primary 6 students assembled “Red Boat in the South Lake” models under the instruction of visual arts teachers.  The events successfully incorporated history and visual arts education into national education.

Macao Pui Ching Middle School and Guangdong Zhongyuan Middle School engaged in an online poetry competition, which required the contestants to use their knowledge on poetry, recitation skills and painting skills. 

The online competition overcame the barrier of the pandemic and broadcast the event in real time.  It gave everyone an opportunity to experience Chinese poetry and showcase the beauty of our classics.

To foster creative talents, Pui Ching established the Pui Ching Creative Souvenirs Team.  Team members learn various design skills and produce original souvenirs that represent Pui Ching.  To target the existing market, the Pui Ching Creative Souvenirs Vending Machine started operation yesterday, selling products that the team created.  These souvenirs include key chains, tape and other original Pui Ching souvenirs.

The Pui Ching Creative Souvenirs Vending Machine offers ePayment options.  The machine also accurately records all transactions in real time, allowing timely replenishment of inventory. 

As an external supervisor for graduate students at South China Normal University, Principal Kou was again invited to the university to give a speech to nearly 300 graduate students. 

The theme of the talk was “Unleashing unrealized potentials: STEM education at Macau Pui Ching Middle School”.  In the two-hour talk, Principal Kou shared the principles of STEM education at Pui Ching, the motivation, advantages, its development, outcomes as well as future directions.
