6 Nov 2015 VC with Taiwan
Focus: Horseshoe crab
Human activities in the modern world have posted tremendous
pollution to the environment; different habitats in the nature are
facing changes such as shrinking in size due to pollutants, predators
invasion because of the food chain disorder, moreover, chemical wastes
dumped by factories even causing biological changes in various species
which might cause a huge damage to the wild, thus eventually to the
human’s society.
The theme of this video conference was ecology conservation and
students from both schools taught each others about the changes of the
animals’ habitats, treats they are countering, and what we could do to
help.
Horseshoe crab was chosen by our students’ for sharing. Since our
school has participated in the Horseshoe Crab Rearing Programme
organised by the Ocean Park and City University of Hong Kong in years,
we are very familiar with its body structure, growth path, diet and
habitat conditions.
We taught the Taiwan students how to make a horseshoe crab
origami. Students from both schools enjoyed it. Although it was
challenging to teach origami through webcams since steps needed to be
shown very clearly or the whole origami will not be in shape, everyone
was having wonderful time.

20 March 2015 7.15am VC with Del Valle High School, Del Valle, Texas USA
Focus: International Criminal Court – Moot Court Case on Oil
There were 2 speakers per side. Each side had 30 minutes to
present their speech followed by a Q and A session where each side
challenged the other on what they presented.
Our students were talking for the stance that oil is a fossil
fuel, we are running out of oil and that oil companies are not
manipulating with the oil prices (the oil prices are determined by
market mechanism). The students made use of scientific data and
prior research studies to support their stance. The opposition
raised very brilliant questions too for instance since most of the oil
is stored in the middle-east countries does that indicate that dinosaurs
migrated to Middle-east to die. It was overall highly
entertaining and interesting.

23 September 2014 4pm VC with Lyceum No.15, Cherkessk, Russia
Focus: Do you agree with ALS Iced Bucket Challenge
The main focus was on ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, which is an activity involving dumping a bucket of ice water on someone's head to promote awareness of the disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and encourage donations to research. It wemt viral on social media during July–August 2014. Students on both sides shared their viewpoints with illustrations such as The President of the United States,Barack Obama, was challenged but declined, opting to contribute to the campaign with a donation. On the other hand Justin Bieber was criticized for not properly doing the challenge. Students raised a number of criticisms relating to the campaign, accusing it of being self-congratulatory focusing primarily on fun rather than donating money to charity and substituting a trivial activity for more genuine involvement in charitable activities. Furthermore criticism has also targeted the waste of water. |

23 May 2014 3pm VC with Ilford County High School, England
Focus: Global Alternative Energy Debate
Debate was held with London on Wind Power Vs Nuclear. Our students stood up for Nuclear, which they believe is the most appropriate due to limited space and high demand for electricity to match the developed and high tech lifestyle of Hong Kong whereas England stayed firm with Wind Power, which they believe is more clean and safe. Both sides tabled their points and argued with solid data. We believe the debate gave both sides in-depth sight of how factors including economical and geographical conditions of a country affect its preference of energy use. |
