Human (students) : Nature  

Here’s a fun insight from three of the participating students: 

Zheng Kit  (Yan Oi Tong Tin Ka Ping Secondary School)   

While exploring Tuen Mun Park and the Tuen Mun River, I was fascinated by the turtle habitats. I realised that their lifestyle thrives on a balance of land and water, basking in sunlight and surrounded by lush greenery. This inspired me to create a turtle pond for our school, making these little guys our mascots to accompany students on their learning journey and to enjoy school life!

I’ve also discovered a love for woodworking, particularly in sculpture and sketching. Collaborating with my team has been such a rewarding experience, and I’m excited to use this turtle pond project as inspiration for my future SBA & sculpture assignments and other creative projects.

Yu On Kiu (Christian Alliance Cheng Wing Gee College)

Exploring the vibrant ecosystem along the Tai Po River and its surrounding communities has truly opened my eyes to the fascinating symbiosis between humans and nature. It’s amazing to see herons thriving in areas rich with water and greenery, cohabiting with residents and highlighting this unique relationship. I find it absolutely magical!

Inspired by my observations, I’ve been working on a segment for the “Living in coexistence Board Game”. I love to express through my hand drawings, thus I hope to contribute to the board game with my various daily observations on living in co-existence through my illustrations.  

This event has also ignited my curiosity about the little creatures around us. I’m eager to sketch their likenesses, but I’ve realised my drawing skills need some improvement! I’m determined to hone my craft so I can truly capture the world as I envision it.

Chan Yan Ching (Lok Sin Tong Wong Chung Ming Secondary School)  

I got to learn about the Kai Tak River and its restoration project timeline and was amazed to see the crystal-clear water teeming with life! The connection between water and us humans is so vital – after all, we can’t live without it.  

While exploring Tan Shan River, I discovered that there are still some farming areas in Hong Kong. It was wonderful farmers growing rice and fruits for us, which I absolutely loved, making my exploration trip even more enjoyable.  

I realized that I’m not too keen on crafts; instead, I prefer working with clay and observing little creatures. Collaborating with my classmates on creative projects has been a blast! I appreciate my own observational skills and admire So Siu Si’s incredible drawing talent – her artwork is just stunning!
