MISS CHUNG NOTED THAT JOINT SCHOOL ACADEMIC EXHIBITIONS SUCH AS GEOGRAPHY, ARTS AND SC ENCE EXHIBITIONS HAD BEEN HELD ANNUALLY IN THE PAST WITH OUTSTANDING RESULTS.
+THESE EXHIBITIONS NOT ONLY DEEPEN STUDENTS' KNOWLEDGE OF THE SUBJECT AND NURTURE THE IR NTEREST IN STUDIES, BUT ALSO PROVIDE A GOOD CHANCE OF COOPERATION AND EXCHANGE OF EXPERIENCE,+ SHE SAID.

SHE ADDED THAT ALTHOUGH THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT AN EXHIBITION ON CHINESE HISTORY AND LITERATURE WAS BEING HELD, IT DID NOT MEAN THAT THE SCHOOLS WERE NOT ATTACHING SIGNIFICANCE TO CHINESE, NOR DID IT MEAN THAT STUDENTS WERE NOT INTERESTED IN CHINESE.

THE EXHIBITION IS BEING HELD AT THE TSUEN WAN TOWN HALL, OPENING FROM 10 AM TO 4 PM DAILY UNTIL SUNDAY (JUNE 5).
