Art and Science of Trees, Birds and Butterflies Exhibition

Our School joined the “Art and Science of Trees, Birds and Butterflies Exhibition” organized by the CUHK Tree Project and Green Education Team on 10th March 2012. Besides appreciating live performance of the theme song of exhibition “As the Way of Heaven” by Ms. Maria Tung, our students attended a series of seminars, including “The Joy of Sharing Nature” by Mr. Lam Chiu-ying, “Photography of Butterflies” by Mr. John Tse and “Tips on Green Living and Well-being” by Ms. Catherine Hung. At last, we watched the Eco-documentary film show “Hope in a Changing Climate” directed by world-noted Mr. John Liu in the exhibition. Students realized the importance of environmental conservation in a relaxing and happy afternoon.
