STUDENTS URGED TO SUPPORT COMMUNITY
****
STUDENTS, TEACHERS AND PRINCIPALS WERE TODAY (THURSDAY) URGED TO SHOW THEIR CONCERN TOWARDS THE COMMUNITY AND SUPPORT NEXT YEAR'S DISTRICT BOARD ELECTIONS.
WAN
THE APPEAL WAS MADE BY THE DISTRICT COMMISSIONER FOR TSUEN MR ADOLF HSU, WHILE SPEAKING AT AN INTER-SCHOOL SPORTS DAY
AT THE KWAI CHUNG SPORTS GROUND.
+APART FROM TRYING HARD AT THEIR STUDIES, STUDENTS SHOULD ALSO JOIN SOME VOLUNTEER WORK TO SERVE THE NEEDY IN THE COMMUNITY,+ MR HSU SAID,
+THEY CAN EITHER ENROL IN COMMUNITY SERVICE PROJECTS AND OTHER ACTIVITIES ORGANISED BY LOCAL ORGANISATIONS, OR RUN THEIR OWN PROJECTS.
+THEY CAN ALSO APPLY FUNDS FROM THE LOCAL DISTRICT BOARD THROUGH THEIR SCHOOLS FOR SUCH ACTIVITIES.+
MR HSU ALSO APPEALED TO THE TEACHERS AND PRINCIPALS FOR THEIR ACTIVE SUPPORT IN PROMOTING DISTRICT ADMINISTRATION.
+THEY SHOULD EQUIP THEIR STUDENTS WITH KNOWLEDGE OF COMMUNITY BUILDING AND THE DISTRICT BOARDS TO ENHANCE THEIR DISTRICT IDENTITY AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE REAL VALUE OF COMMUNITY SERVICE,+ HE SAID.
#
+THEY SHOULD ALSO HELP PROMOTE, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY THE WORK OF DISTRICT ADMINISTRATION BY ENCOURAGING STUDENTS AND THEIR PARENTS TO REGISTER AS VOTERS.+
TEACHERS AND PRINCIPALS MAY ALSO JOIN THE BOARD, ITS VARIOUS COMMITTEES, OR OTHER LOCAL COMMITTEES, JUST AS SOME OF THEIR COUNTERPARTS HAVE ALREADY DONE.
+I HOPE THAT MORE QUALIFIED PEOPLE WILL SUPPORT NEXT YEAR'S DISTRICT BOARD ELECTIONS. BY DOING SO, IT WOULD STRENGTHEN RESIDENTS' CONFIDENCE IN THE BOARDS AND HELP MAKE DISTRICT ADMINISTRATION A SUCCESS, + HE SAID.
