BALANCED DEVELOPMENT FOR STUDENTS STRESSED
****
STUDENTS SHOULD NOT ONLY STUDY HARD BUT PARTICIPATE ACTIVELY IN EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES AND COMMUNITY SERVICES TO ACHIEVE A BALANCED DEVELOPMENT, THE DIRECTOR OF EDUCATION, MR MICHAEL LEUNG, SAID TODAY (TUESDAY).
SPEAKING AT THE SIXTH ANNUAL PARADE OF THE COMMUNITY YOUTH CLUB (CYC) AT QUEEN ELIZABETH STADIUM, MR LEUNG SAID SCHOOL CHILDREN MUST DEVELOP THEMSELVES TO BE GOOD CITIZENS AND CONTRIBUTE CONSTRUCTIVELY TO SOCIETY.
TO PROMOTE CIVIC RESPONSIBILITIES AMONG STUDENTS, HE SAID THE CYC WAS SET UP TO ENCOURAGE MEMBERS TO TAKE PART IN ACTIVITIES OUTSIDE CLASSROOM.
SINCE THE MOTTO OF THE CYC WAS TO LEARN, BE CONCERNED AND SERVE+, IT WOULD HELP STUDENTS TO BUILD A POSITIVE VIEW TOWARDS COMMUNITY AFFAIRS THROUGH INVOLVEMENT, HE ADDED.
MR LEUNG EXPRESSED HIS THANKS TO THOSE WHO HAD CONTRIBUTED TO THE CYC IN THE PAST YEAR AND HOPED MORE STUDENTS WOULD JOIN THE 190 000 STRONG CONTINGENT.
AFTER TAKING THE SALUTE, HE PRESENTED PURPLE BADGES TO 273 SENIOR MEMBERS FROM 69 SCHOOLS WHO HAD MADE CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE COMMUNITY THROUGH PARTICIPATION IN VARIOUS ACTIVITIES.
MR LEUNG ALSO PRESENTED A FLAG TO THE NEWLY-FORMED CYC ISLAND DISTRICT COMMITTEE TO MARK THE COMPLETION OF THE FORMATION OF ALL DISTRICT COMMITTEES OF THE CYC.
ABOUT 3 000 MEMBERS, SUPERVISORS AND TEACHERS INVOLVED IN CYC ACTIVITIES ATTENDED TODAY'S PARADE.
