An ecological field trip on freshwater stream in Tai Mo Shan was organized by Ho Koon Nature Education cum Astronomical Centre for Secondary 6S1 students on 16th December 2009. In the field trip, students analyzed how physical environment influenced biodiversity and adaptation of the species in the habitat and evaluated any human impact to the environment, supported by numerical data collected from the field and a series of experiment launched in the research center. Finally, they presented their group findings seriously and went through a question-and-answer session. Protected species like Hong Kong Newt (Paramesotriton honkongensis) and Small Long-armed Shrimp (Macrobrachium hainanense) can also be found in the field study. Apart from training on practical skills and analytic skills, this field trip helped students realize the importance of ecology conservation in fostering a sustainable environment.

十二月十六日為本校中六理組一班生物科野外考察，地點為大帽山淡水溪流，是次野外考察由嗇色園可觀自然教育中心暨天文館主辦。考察中，同學透過搜集數據及進行實驗，分析溪流環境因素如何影響物種多樣性及其適應能力，也了解周遭對河溪所造成之污染，最後進行小組匯報及答問環節，同學更能在考察中尋找香港受保護的香港瘰螈及海南沼蝦。除提高學生考察實驗技巧及數據分析能力，同學更能在考察中明白到環境保育及可持續發展之重要性！
