SKH Li Fook Hing Secondary School

To continue the culture of Student-LED, we specially invited two students participated in this project last year to join again and hope that they can organise activities and share experiences with our core members of this year so as to achieve the purpose of passing down this culture from one generation to another generation.
This year, our theme is a 3-day experience camp in Shenzhen Whampoa Youth Military Training School. Eight core members faced lots of difficulties while deciding the activity content and date, recruiting students to join, having pre-camp meetings and assembly arrangement etc. Yet they could still persist thanks to the encouragement and support from all members. The keys to make the activities successfully held are not shirking responsibility and blaming each other, but to appreciate and co-operate.

“At the school level, teacher-in-charge would promote the idea of STUDENT-LED Project to all the colleagues in the staff meeting, enable them to recognise the purpose of this project in order to provide more development opportunities for students, encourage students to reflect and learn, facilitate the promotion of culture of ‘learning to learn’.”

 “Throughout the meetings, I understand my responsibility as one of the planners of this event as well as how to encourage others and respect others decisions when they express their views.”

“When we could not come up with a practicable solution, I would try to raise comments from another view. Even sometimes they may be a bit imaginative, if the views could stimulate thinking, I would speak it out. We may find the appropriate way in the voice of objection. I know that a leader must be able to bold hypothesis with careful verification.”

“When our teammates were tired and nearly gave up, I would continue to work and lead by example, so as to remind those team members to cheer up and persist until the end. I believe as long as there is someone willing to take the first step, others will be encouraged. The team can start again and complete the task together.”

“Although we encountered various difficulties at the early stage of activity design, our team started to recognise our direction. With the experience of our members from last year, we began to set goals at different stages and the team headed towards the same goal. When the goal was achieved, the team would reflect on the shortcomings of the previous stage, and then set the programme content of next stage so as to avoid the same error and smoothly carry out the following plans.”

“The process of preparation let me know that encouraging one another is really important. If there are only negative words in the team without any courage and support, the teammates will easily lose the sense of belonging. Hence, we need to tighten the connection between team members through encouragement, reduce the arguments so as to have a more fluent preparation.”
