Be student-oriented, possess innovative thinking, and cultivate a new generation with both moral integrity and talent.

Buddhist Tai Hung CollegeOver the years, we have been committed to cultivating students' balanced development in moral, academic, physical, sociable and aesthetic aspects, and practicing the spirit of the school motto "Be wise and show compassion". Principal Chiu Hong Ming explained: "In our school motto, 'wise' means enlightening wisdom, and wisdom is not the same as knowledge. It does not mean that the more you learn, the wiser you will be, but to distinguish right from wrong and live wisely; 'show compassion' emphasizes that you need to be compassionate and know how to help people around you, thereby helping society and the country." Adhering to the spirit of self-interest and altruism, the school has been known in the district for its simple school spirit for many years, cultivating generations of students with both talents and virtues.

Enrich STEAM learning experience, explore across subjects, and perform well

In terms of STEAM education, the school hopes to provide all students with opportunities to be exposed to relevant knowledge and skills. Therefore, at the junior high school level, the school first allows students to dabble in some basic elements of STEAM, while at the high school level, more in-depth training will be provided for students who are interested or have potential. In addition to classroom teaching, the teaching team will also arrange rich STEAM learning experiences for students, such as building robots, "Flightsim competition", "Flightsim workshop", "Chemistry is fun - DIY leaf vein bookmarks" and other activities to enhance students' interest in STEAM.

In addition, the school has earlier arranged for students to participate in the lecture "Aerospace Experts Talk about Aviation Dreams" delivered by Professor Li Chuanjiang from the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics of Harbin Institute of Technology, so that they can have a deeper understanding of aerospace technology. The Chemistry Department also invited the Chow Sang Sang Precious Metals Laboratory to host a "Silver Repairer's Workshop" on campus, allowing students to learn and experiment with chemical knowledge related to daily life and inspire their interest in exploring science. The school also has an Inno Center "Innovation and Technology World" equipped with simulated aircraft, drones, 3D printers and other facilities to provide hardware support for students' STEAM learning.

With the support of the school, the students performed well in STEAM competitions outside the school. The students won the overall championship in the 2024 Hong Kong Inter-School Simulated Flight Challenge (primary level of the secondary school group); they won the third place in the 2024 AI Formula (second leg); in the 2023 Hong Kong Inter-School Simulated Flight Challenge, they won the overall championship and overall championship for the best flight skills in the intermediate and elementary levels respectively. The results are encouraging.

Teaching Mathematics and Science in English Creating an English Context

English, as an international language, helps students face the wider world. Science and mathematics are taught in English at the secondary level; at the high school level, mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology are all taught in English. This not only creates a good English context in the classroom, but also prepares students for future university studies. In addition, the English subject team organizes a variety of English activities to immerse students in the English context. The English Department arranges for foreign English teachers to teach students how to make desserts, and invites foreign baristas to teach latte art, allowing students to learn English through daily exchanges. It also organizes the "English Festival", inviting foreign guests to interact with students in fun games, and through English song performances, allowing students to build their confidence in English through participation and communication.

High-end technology is integrated into various subjects, e-learning keeps pace with the times

With the development of society, the integration of technology into education has become a major trend in the academic world. Principal Chiu Hong Ming believes that it is necessary to teach students to embrace this wave so that they can become accustomed to using technology and learn to control it. Therefore, schools incorporate e-teaching elements into different subjects. For example, they use electronic platforms and artificial intelligence (AI) to mark English compositions and assess students’ accuracy in using English, thereby helping them improve their language skills. Students can also search for information through artificial intelligence and develop independent learning habits.

In addition, the school makes good use of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technologies to provide students with an immersive learning experience. In geography class, students can witness volcanic eruptions through VR and AR. This "personal" learning experience makes the students even more impressed. Although AI can be applied to learning, not all the information provided by AI is correct. Therefore, the school emphasizes information literacy education, improving students’ information literacy through Buddhist education and moral education, teaching them to distinguish right from wrong, distinguish the authenticity of information, and make good use of technology to improve learning effectiveness.

Overseas exchanges broaden horizons, deepen connotations, and enrich oneself

In order to help students develop an international perspective, the school makes good use of resources and arranges a variety of overseas exchange activities, covering areas such as art, sports, English, technology, etc. The "One Belt, One Road and Opportunities in Croatia" exchange group takes students to Europe to understand international development trends and understand how the country can promote economic development through the "One Belt, One Road" initiative. It also allows students to have more opportunities to use English and equip themselves to face future challenges. Through different visits and inspections, students can have in-depth exchanges with local students and "jump out of Hong Kong and see the world." The school also carries out "Zhaoqing Sister School Visit and Guangzhou Sports Exchange" to let students understand the country's sports development. In addition, the school organized the "STEAM Japan Tokyo Business Management History and Culture Study Tour" to allow students to gain an in-depth understanding of innovative developments in STEAM and aerospace technology and other fields. The Department of Communities also organizes the "Cultural Exchange Trip Across the Great Wall", which takes students to visit scenic spots in Beijing and to visit Inner Mongolia to experience the local customs and customs. Principal Chiu Hong Ming even plans to arrange students to go to Germany to understand the local STEAM development.

In addition, the school organizes local visit activities, such as the "Youth Art Tour of the Forbidden City", allowing students to experience the beauty of the life and art of the Qing Dynasty royal family at close range; the "Fighting the Enemy Together - Hong Kong Coastal Defense Story Exhibition" enhances students' national security awareness and national pride through historical exhibitions; and participates in the "rammed earth making workshop" co-organized by the Antiquities and Monuments Office and the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department, allowing students to get out of the classroom, understand the community and broaden their horizons.

Diversified extracurricular activities to discover interests and reveal potential

The school provides students with a variety of extracurricular activities, such as drama, Chinese music, dance groups, and tea meditation. It also has uniform teams, including the flag-raising team, the Red Cross, the Girl Guides, the traffic safety team, and the aviation youth group, for students to participate freely. In addition, the school regularly holds "extracurricular activity days" and arranges different activities, such as friendly football matches, virtual reality VR classes, Rummikub wits, Japanese mahjong advanced and elementary courses, anti-riot defense training, etc., so that students can explore their interests and demonstrate their potential.

The Student Union holds a "Talent Show" every year for students to freely sign up and showcase their talents. Thanks to the strong support of the school, students have won many awards in off-campus competitions. Among them, the drama group performed particularly well, winning seven championships in the secondary school category of the "Hong Kong Creative Drama Festival" in the past eight years, and one group even won the "Honorary Trophy" in the highest category. In addition, students won the "Outstanding Collaboration Award", "Outstanding Stage Effects Award", "Outstanding Director Award" and "Outstanding Actor Award" at the "Hong Kong Schools Drama Festival".

Buddhist moral education creates a simple school spirit and promotes healthy development of body, mind and soul.

The school is committed to promoting Buddhist moral education and value education, emphasizing the healthy physical, mental and spiritual development of students, and has successfully created a simple school spirit. Promote the integration of Buddhist moral education and value education in schools with the twelve primary values ​​and attitudes advocated by the Education Bureau, and promote it in a systematic manner, through the students themselves, to their relatives and friends, and ultimately to society and the country. In recent years, the school has launched morning meditation, with all teachers and students participating in the meditation. The school also has an "Awakening Pavilion" and a "Meditation Room" to provide students with a place for quiet reflection and meditation.

Principal Chiu Hong Ming pointed out: "Meditation has great benefits for students' physical and mental health. It can help them reduce stress and start a new day with a positive attitude." In addition, in the daily morning meetings, teachers from the Buddhist and Chinese subjects share content related to Buddhist moral education and value education, so that students can understand "cause and effect" and "karma" in Buddhism, and know how to distinguish right from wrong, establish correct values, and promote physical, mental and spiritual health. Principal Chiu Hong Ming said with a smile: "The Education Bureau's external school evaluation report also quite affirmed the school's concept of promoting value education, and even used it as a case to share with the school community."

Stepping activities train discipline and "basic skills of life" cultivate great wisdom

The simple school spirit and emphasis on discipline are major features of the school. The school provides summer courses in English and mathematics for intermediate-level students, and also incorporates elements of footwork into physical education classes. Principal Chiu Hong Ming pointed out: "Students come from all over the world. Through foot drills, we can train discipline and cultivate their unity and tenacity." In addition, in order to implement the school motto of "being wise and showing compassion", the school supervisor Master Yankong formulated a set of "Basic Life Skills" to help students learn devotion, perseverance, reflection and good deeds in simple and easy-to-understand terms, and cultivate the great wisdom of "being wise and showing compassion".

In addition, the school organizes a "Class Activity Day" to arrange for students at all levels, especially the Form 1 level, to organize activities under the leadership of teachers and get to know each other better. Teachers will also pay special attention to transfer students from the Mainland. For example, the head teacher will arrange for "little Bodhisattva" students who are proficient in Mandarin to communicate with them and establish friendship with them.
