School Immersion - Buddhist Chi King Primary School

After breakfast, the delegates set off to Buddhist Chi King Primary School in Kowloon Bay with a pupil population of 500. There, the delegates immersed in the school's curriculum. They attended Mathematics, Chinese and English lessons with the pupils and the teachers there.

Lunch with new found friends

Delegates then visited the homes of their Hong Kong friends after lunch to find out what home in Hong Kong is like. One important lesson is to appreciate the space we have in Singapore (every inch of it).

The next destination was the Hong Kong History Museum which gave the delegates a very clear insights into how did Hong Kong become what it is today.
