The Education University of Hong Kong hosted the ‘Garden in Heart’ Junior High School Students’ Essay Writing Contest Award Ceremony on 11 May 2024. This contest, co-organised by the Department of Literature and Cultural Studies and the Department of Science and Environmental Studies, received 325 eligible submissions from 56 local secondary schools. After a rigorous review process, the winning entries, including the first, second, and third prizes, as well as merit and commendation awards, were finally selected.
This essay writing contest was honoured to invite three renowned Hong Kong writers: Dr Wong Leung-wo, Ms Wong Yi, and Mr Derek Chung as panel judges. Centred on the theme ‘Garden of the Heart’, the contest aimed to encourage Hong Kong secondary school students to unleash their creativity and imagination by writing about their reflections and sentiments about gardens. This provided an opportunity for students to transform their everyday observations and imaginations of people, animals, plants, insects, and landscapes in gardens into words.
