In July, AYP made the most of the vital weeks before the summer holiday, reaching out to schools through assemblies, award ceremonies, and post-camp meetings. These efforts aimed to promote youth development and inspire young people to push their limits.

Sharing Session at Kit Sam Lam Bing Yim Secondary School

On 2 July, AYP held a talk at Kit Sam Lam Bing Yim Secondary School, inviting Ms. Aimee Chan, Award Council Member and the Bronze and Silver Level Award Holder, as the guest speaker. Drawing from her own participation experience, Ms. Chan shared how the AYP fosters all-round development and encouraged the Secondary 2 and Secondary 3 students to step out of their comfort zones and explore their diverse potential.

Pui Ching Middle School Award Presentation Ceremony

AYP was invited to attend Pui Ching Middle School’s Awards Ceremony on 8 July, where we introduced the Award programme to 600 Secondary 1 to Secondary 3 students. During the ceremony, Ms. Evy Cheung, AYP’s Chief Executive Officer, presented the Green Bird in Action certificates alongside Principal Nick Ho. AYP also thanked the school for its long-standing support of youth development and encouraged students to aim higher by challenging themselves to achieve higher Award levels.

HYAB Funding Scheme for Youth Adventure Training Activities (2023-25) “More Than Adventure” Post-Camp Meeting

To reinforce the impact of the “More Than Adventure " training programme, AYP arranges for instructors to visit schools within three months after the camp. During July, we visited 11 secondary schools. Through sharing sessions and interactive activities, instructors guided participants to reflect on their camp experiences, solidify personal growth goals, and further strengthen the effectiveness of the training:

Buddhist Sum Heung Lam Memorial College, Buddhist Wong Wan Tin College, CCC Chuen Yuen College, CCC Rotary Secondary School, Hong Kong Taoist Association Tang Hin Memorial Secondary School, Kwai Chung Methodist College, Law Ting Pong Secondary School, Maryknoll Secondary School, Salesian English School, Sheng Kung Hui Tsang Shiu Tim Secondary School, St. Catharine's School for Girls

AYP will continue to work closely with the schools to provide young people with the opportunities for growth, and inspire them to explore beyond limits.

China's first domestically built aircraft carrier, the Shandong, along with its fleet, arrived in Hong Kong. At the invitation of the Home and Youth Affairs Bureau, a group of AYP participants boarded the Shandong on 4 July and visited the Ngong Shuen Chau Barrack, where they explored other naval vessels, including the Zhanjiang missile destroyer and the Yuncheng missile frigate, as well as shipborne helicopters and other military equipment. The activity provided young people with an in-depth understanding of the high-quality development of the nation's defence infrastructure, allowing them to experience first-hand the advanced technology of China’s modern naval fleet and further strengthening their sense of national pride.
