4th Social Innovation-Community 4.0 Competition

In the 2021-22 academic year, 6 of our S4 students participated in the 4th “Social Innovation Community 4.0” Competition organized by the Hong Kong Council of Social Service. Their efforts were duly recognized, as they received the Public’s Favourite Award and the prestigious Recognition for Outstanding Performance Award. Their project, dubbed “Sound Bus Stop”, garnered high praise from the Sham Shui Po District Office.

Under the guidance of Mr. Paul Wong, JP, District Officer (Sham Shui Po), the students organized meetings with key stakeholders, including Kowloon Motor Bus (KMB), the Hong Kong Society for the Blind, and the Hong Kong Council of Social Services. Through these collaborative efforts, the project was successfully implemented in Sham Shui Po in early 2024. A total of 15 bus stops were equipped with radio frequency identification (RFID) devices, enabling them to announce bus arrival information and providing invaluable assistance to visually impaired individuals in the district.

The impact of this innovative project was widely recognized, as it received extensive media coverage. This remarkable achievement has not only enriched the learning experiences of our students but also made a tangible difference in the lives of the visually impaired members of our community.
