“Searching the Story of Nature”
「尋找自然的故事」學生工作坊

(24-Jan-09)

10 representatives from our school participated in the “Searching the Story of Nature” workshop in the Tai Po Nature Reserve on 24 January 2009. Dr. Au from the center explained to students the concept of sustainable development and the Earth Charter. Mr. Wong Chi Chun, tutor from Ho Koon Nature Education cum Astronomical Centre, had briefing on biodiversity and the relationship between the man and the environment in the lecture.
In addition to lecture, students joined the field trip study in small groups to investigate the vegetation distribution and their adaptive features on natural and artificial slopes. This further helped students understand the human impact on natural environment.

在一月二十四日，本校十位學生代表參與「尋找自然的故事」學生工作坊，地點為大埔滘自然護理區。是次工作坊，中心博士研究生歐月瑩博士為同學介紹「可持續發展」概念及「地球憲章」，也邀請了可觀自然教育中心暨天文館導師黃志俊先生講解香港生物多樣性及生物與環境之關係。
除了講座，同學透過實地考察，分組研習，並了解到自然及人造斜坡上植被的分佈及其適應特徵的不同，從而明白人對自然環境的嚴重影響。

Junior-form Science enrichment course – Mobile learning workshop in the CFSS Environmental Trail
初中科學科增益課程 – 校園自然教育徑「移動學習」工作坊

(14-May-09)

To bridge with the New Senior Secondary curriculum and cultivate students with sustainable development mindset, the Department of Science is collaborating with the Department of Information Technology to organize the mobile learning workshop on 14th May 2009. Students could make use of the mobiles to study the morphological characters of different plant species in our school environmental trail. Students can also present their ideas efficiently and interactively using wireless online system in the classroom.

為配合新高中課程發展及培育同學可持續發展的概念，初中科學科聯同資訊科技科在五月十四日協作設計了「移動學習」工作坊，讓同學透過使用手提電話，以小組型式在校園自然教育徑研習植物種類及其形態，並透過無線網上平臺，在課堂上互動地分組匯報研習成果。

Trip to Rocky Shore in Cape d’Aguilar Marine Reserve
鶴咀岩岸野外考察

(30-May-09)

Being the first marine reserve in Hong Kong, Cape d’Aguilar is a precious rocky shore with high ecological value. On 30th May 2009, 40 teachers and students participated in the trip to the rocky shore in Cape d’Aguilar to study peculiar geomorphological features namely sea arch, sea cave and blow hole. With guidance of Dr. Au, participants realized the severe human impact on the rocky shore habitats and the importance of environmental protection and sustainable development. We had the invaluable chance of visiting the Swire Institute of Marine Science of University of Hong Kong, understanding how technicians and researches study the surrounding habitat by advanced laboratory installation to pave the path for protecting the environment there.

是次考察地點為鶴咀海岸保護區，是本港極具生態價值的第一個海岸保護區。在五月三十日，本校一行四十多名師生到鶴咀觀察獨特岩岸地貌，如海蝕拱、海蝕洞、吹穴等，在博士研究生歐月瑩博士的帶領下，參加者了解到人為對當地岩岸生態的嚴重影響，明白到環境保護及提倡「可持續發展」概念之重要性，大家也有幸參觀了香港大學太古海洋科學研究所，了解其實驗室設施如何配合保護區海洋生物及生態之研究。
