The 7th EdUHK Annual Athletic Meet was successfully held at the Pak Shek Kok Sports Centre on 13 January 2023 after 2 years of pandemic.

COVID-19 and its ripple effects cause a permanent impact on learning and teaching environment in local schools. Due to the temporary suspension of face-to-face classes, shifting to online or blended classes swiftly as circumstances require will become a new normal. The EdUHK developed a platform named EdUHK Online Classes Platform (EOCP) in May 2020 to share readily usable teaching and learning videos with local schools to cater the immediate needs for in-service teachers. Later on, the platform extended its feature to include webinars and workshops which fostered exchange of insights in learning and teaching under the New Normal; as well as an online teaching experience scheme through which pre-service teachers at EdUHK served in local schools to support curricular and co-curricular activities online.

Congratulations to the EdUHK student-athletes! They have performed very well in the international competitions in December 2022. The details of their sports achievement are listed below:

The Department of Health and Physical Education organised the HPE Camp from 19 - 21 December 2022. Around 120 students from Bachelor of Education (Honours) (Physical Education) and Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Sports Science and Coaching joinned the camp. The activities included hiking, high events and canoe.

Refer to the post in Press Release of EdUHK’s website, EdUHK has received a donation from Nissin Foods (Hong Kong) Charity Fund to establish the Nissin Foods Scholarship for Elite Athletes. The Scholarship is intended to encourage elite athletes who are in the Bachelor of Health Education (Honours) programme or the Postgraduate Diploma in Education programme at EdUHK to continue to pursue excellence in both their athletic performance and their studies to become educators of health in the future.

“PE in Community” was held on 13th December 2022 (14:00-15:30). The venue was Tai Po Waterfront Park. There were 16 students from Po Leung Kuk Tin Ka Ping Millennium Primary School in total. This activity aims to encourage primary students to participate in sports activities by using “Google Earth” and “Padlet” which are designed by the students. This activity can raise students’ awareness on health and sports. Before the activity began, there were 5 lessons regarding the teaching of using different applications on iPad and designing their group project on “Google Earth” and “Padlet”.

The Education University of Hong Kong (EdUHK) and the Hong Kong Lacrosse Association signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on March 24, offering elective courses in sports sciences and technology to help students acquire the theories and skills they need. In addition, they will provide students with internship and job opportunities in Greater Bay Area.
