Twenty Hong Kong secondary school students have won top honours at the Student of the Year Awards, with a pupil from the Diocesan Girls’ School (DGS) scooping the grand prize for her all-around achievements and contributions to society.
Hundreds of students, teachers and families gathered at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre on Saturday for the ceremony, organised by the South China Morning Post and supported by the Education Bureau.
The event, held under the theme “Empowering Collective Impact”, celebrated the remarkable achievements and contributions of Hong Kong’s most outstanding secondary school students.
Among those who attended the ceremony were Chief Secretary Eric Chan Kwok-ki and Dr Gabriel Leung, executive director, charities and community of the Hong Kong Jockey Club, which solely sponsors the awards.
Addressing the students in his opening remarks, Chan said: “I have every confidence that you will continue to build on your achievements in your education and in your bright career ahead.”
