The objectives of the gathering were as follows:
      To build a network of Resource Teachers to foster a strong and supportive community and nurture a sense of belonging; and

Resource Teachers’ experience sharing
The two guest speakers shared valuable insights on fulfilling the role of Resource Teacher and reflected on their personal growth and accomplishments.
Quotes from guest speakers:

“The fruit of education takes time to ripen.” That quote really resonates with me. When the right time comes, change will happen somewhere, somehow, sometime and make an impact. I believe it is like what we are doing right now.
Mr Stephen LAM
 Becoming a Resource Teacher not only enables you to grow professionally but also empowers you to bring what you have learnt back to your school, benefiting other teachers.

Group discussion – The way forward
Drawing upon their collective wisdom, teachers provided suggestions on how to actively engage themselves in the Resource Teachers Network. They also proposed various activities aimed at enhancing the positive impact on the school sector.

Behind the scenes
Resource Teachers enthusiastically mingled and networked during the gathering, with some even exchanging telephone numbers and forming communication groups. Their dedication to fostering ongoing connections and facilitating the sharing of curriculum updates among themselves contributed to the success of the event.
