1. Anti-drug Activities
To help students develop positive thinking and understand the dangers of drug abuse and addiction, the School of Nursing and Health Studies from the Hong Kong Metropolitan University held two identical anti-drug workshops in our school. The first workshop took place on 1 March 2023 and was intended for F.2 students, while the second workshop was held on 3 July 2023 for F.1 students. During the two-hour workshops, not only did the students watch videos based on true stories of addiction from teenagers, but they also played AR games to acquire anti-drug knowledge. The most exciting part was virtually experiencing the negative side effects of different types of drugs through playing VR games. Professor Tse from the University emphasized the key points and reminded students never to take drugs under any circumstances. The workshops were highly enjoyable for students and provided them with valuable insights.
