Mentorship Program (2025/26 Academic Year)
Nine students participated in the Mentorship Program, collaborating with 16 Secondary 3 students from GCCITKD Lau Pak Lok Secondary School to engage in community service. Over the year-long program, mentors and mentees built deep friendships through planning four volunteer service events, fostering mutual learning and shared growth.
The 25 program members spent time with sick children at the Ronald McDonald House Kwun Tong House and conducted three community service activities in Macao, serving people with disabilities, the elderly, and children.
As mentors, S.H. Ho College students led by example, planning and preparing services together with the secondary school students. Throughout the process, they observed the secondary students’ challenges and needs, witnessed their dedicated involvement in service and planning, and cultivated a strong sense of social responsibility.
Humanitarian Education Interactive Experience (2025/26 Academic Year)
Seven students partnered with the Hong Kong Red Cross Humanitarian Education Centre to host a Humanitarian Education Interactive Experience Day on the CUHK campus, helping participants learn about humanitarian topics through interactive games. The two-day event featured rich content centered on displaced persons (such as refugees and asylum seekers) and international humanitarian law. Three interactive booths covered displaced persons’ rights matching in Hong Kong, soldier decision-making role-play, and an asylum seeker role-play experience.
The event attracted participants of all ages. Many noted that the student-designed games made complex issues easy to grasp, enabling them to gain valuable insights and raise awareness of humanitarian topics. Students reflected that interactive games were far more effective than traditional information dissemination, especially as role-playing displaced persons enabled participants to empathize directly with difficult realities.
Mental Health Awareness Enhancement (2025/26 Academic Year)
Five students partnered with the Scout Association of Hong Kong – New Territories East Region to organize skill workshops for secondary students with special educational needs (SEN) and set up a caregiver stress-relief booth at a carnival.
The skill workshops focused on public speaking and using AI tools for junior secondary students, who integrated what they learned in the final session to deliver oral presentations. College students served as peer instructors, offering guidance, constructive feedback, and encouragement to help junior students build confidence in a positive learning environment.
The carnival booth provided caregivers with an opportunity to reflect on their daily stress levels. Students shared stress-relief techniques and offered encouragement. Through this experience, students realized that supporting caregivers can be as simple as being a good listener or offering a kind word to help them feel understood.
Multicultural Exchange (2025/26 Academic Year)
Eight students from diverse cultural backgrounds collaborated with the Multicultural Hub to organize various cultural exchange activities designed to foster teamwork among ethnically diverse youth.
The students hosted a Lunar New Year Cultural Night at the Hub, sharing festive foods and traditions from their respective hometowns. Later, they set up a mini-exhibition centered on their native cultures and guided the youth through the unique features of the exhibits. The service project concluded with a teamwork training day featuring activities that strengthened bonds among ethnically diverse youth, creating a supportive community of their own.
Through these exchange activities, students learned about different cultures, strengthened their sense of belonging toward diverse communities, and reflected deeply on the challenges faced by ethnic minorities in Hong Kong.
Rural Care (2025/26 Academic Year)
In early summer 2026, S.H. Ho College partnered again with the Pang Yin So Lan Charitable Foundation and the Xiushui “Yi Qi Ai” Association to conduct a 9-day service-learning trip to Xiushui, Jiangxi, from June 10 to 18. A group of 14 college teachers, students, and staff visited Youjiacha Village in Xiushui County to engage deeply with the rural community through field studies and service projects.
The initiatives were diverse, including primary school volunteer teaching, home visits, agricultural live-stream e-commerce assistance, sales support, and video shooting. In class, students inspired primary school pupils through science experiments and bonded closely with them during after-school activities. At the same time, students actively supported local agricultural development by experiencing live-streaming sales and order fulfillment processes, gaining deep reflections on the challenges of agricultural assistance. The trip brought warmth and vitality to left-behind children and villagers while deepening students’ insights into personal growth and community service.
