Apart from helping to fight the pandemic on the frontline, HKMU staff and students have also been going all out to support communities affected during this tough time. With the summer holiday brought forward, the Student Affairs Office (SAO) put together the Kids@HKMU Summer Camp for children who had to stay home most of the time. It recruited 112 student-tutors from the University to inspire primary school children through online interactive activities based on specially prepared materials, covering 11 subjects as wide as environmental conservation, STEM games, sport, financial management and art. In particular, students from the School of Education and Languages were invited to share with fellow participants their expertise on educational material design and classroom management. The programme was supported by the Kowloon City District Office and ran for four weeks starting from late March, benefiting around a thousand primary school students.
Separately, the Lee Shau Kee School of Business and Administration moved their Junior Summer Programmes ahead to 11 to 22 April, in an effort to help secondary school students explore career options and make future life plans.
