From March to April, 2024, HPE and the Hong Kong Swimming Teachers’ Association held a special course, the Swimming Teacher Certificate course. After passing the basic water test, 30 students of HPE took joined the course. The course lasted for one month, with a total duration of 34 hours, including swimming theory lessons and practical lessons.

After completing the course, 30 HPE students participated in the voluntary teaching service activities in Guangdong rural areas. The students were divided into three groups, and went to the primary and secondary schools in Sihe Town, Maoming City and Qianguan Town, Yunfu City, Guangdong Province for three weeks in May.

Through this special course and voluntary teaching activities, on the one hand, we have improved students’ professional skills and teaching ability. On the other hand, we have strengthened the teaching cooperation and communication between our department and Greater Bay Area, broadened students’ horizons and enriched their experience. All these are helpful to cultivate students’ teacher feelings and promote them to become excellent PE teachers in the future.
