Secondary school exhibition on Airport Core Programme
Students from the Shun Tak Fraternal Association Seaward Woo College took three prizes today (Friday) in the first Airport Core Programme (ACP) Joint School Exhibition cum Competition which opened today (Friday).
The school won the top prize of Championship for the Best Booth Award, as well as the Award for the Most Popular Booth and the Award for Originality for their exhibition booth entitled "Explosion of Noise".
A 15-year-old student, Miss Hung Kam-yuk, said their team, comprising 18 students and headed by their teacher Miss Chan, had spent one and a half months on the project.
"We do not expect to win three prizes, so it is a wonderful surprise to all of us. This is a most interesting project and we have learnt a lot more about the ACP," said Miss Hung after the prize-giving ceremony.
Students from a total of 16 secondary schools are taking part in the exhibition, organised by the New Airport Projects Co-ordination Office (NAPCO), as part of the department's continuing effort to promote better understanding of the 10 ACP projects among young people.
Each of the participating schools mounted its own booth to cover different aspects of the ACP. These include displays on the impact of the ACP on Hong Kong, the changing face of North Lantau, the new airport at Chek Lap Kok and its transport links.
Professor Alex Fung of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University's School of Design and a member of the panel of judges said the displays were very impressive, using a lot of computer graphic designs and multi-media techniques.
"The students were well organised in their work, representing a high spirit of co-operation," he said.
