SHKP Quarterly

To encourage more young people to love reading, the SHKP Reading Club has extended its Read & Share programme to secondary schools starting from the 2017-18 academic year. It is hoped that students will make reading a part of their everyday lives and will share reading knowledge and enjoyment with family and friends. Currently, there are 120 Read & Share participating schools in Hong Kong. SHKP Reading Club spreads the joy of reading to more schools 新閱會將愉快閱讀帶入更多校園 Read & Share programme extends to secondary schools The Read & Share programme, a joint effort of the Reading Club and Hong Kong Aided Primar y School Heads Association, was established in 2014 with the support of the Group and members of the community. Various activities have been planned and organized for participating schools to get students interested in reading. To date, more than 250 outreach activities have been arranged for over 70,000 students and teachers throughout the territory. The programme has also been extended to secondary schools, starting from the current academic year with guest-sharing sessions to help spark students’ curiosity and reading interest. Learning more about the environment beyond books The Read & Share programme annual theme for primary students is Love Reading, Love Nature. Activities include celebrity talks, sharing with exchange students and creative workshops. Learn Beyond Books visits will also be held to encourage reading while also raising primary students’ awareness about the environment. Students from two primary schools visited the environmental restoration park as well as the climate change and innovation centre at Landmark North. After learning more about the causes of climate change and its effects from the Landmark North green ambassadors, the students vowed to eat more vegetables and walk more to help reduce CO 2 emissions. There was also a puppet show which taught students about food waste recycling and how food waste can be upcycled into fertilizer. 為鼓勵更多青少年愛上閱讀，新閱會於 2017-18 學年，將「閱讀．分享」校園計劃 進一步推廣至中學，冀學生把閱讀融入日 常生活，並鼓勵他們與家人朋友分享書中 知識及樂趣。現時，全港共有 120 間中小 學參與其中。 「閱讀．分享」校園計劃走進中學 新閱會於 2014 年起推出「閱讀．分享」校 園計劃，與香港資助小學校長會合作，並 凝聚集團及社區力量，為參與學校設計並 舉辦不同類型的特色活動，與學生一起投 入多姿多釆的閱讀天地。由推出至今，項 目共為逾 70,000 名師生舉辦了逾 250 場到 校活動；本學年更正式走進中學，邀請不 同嘉賓到校，透過輕鬆有趣的分享，引發 學生的好奇心及對閱讀的興趣。 走出書本 認識大自然 至於小學方面，「閱讀．分享」校園計劃 於新學年以「閱來閱愛大自然」為題，為 學生設計別出心裁的活動，包括名人分享 會、與海外學生交流、創意工作坊和「走 出書本」參觀活動等，讓小學生享受閱讀 樂趣之餘，從中建立環保意識。 項目早前安排了兩間小學參觀上水廣場的 環境復育園和氣候變化及互動創新中心。 在上水廣場環保大使介紹下，同學認識更 多有關氣候變化的成因及影響，並紛紛表 示今後會多吃菜及多步行來減少二氧化碳 的排放；他們又從布偶劇表演中，了解廚 餘回收及變成有機肥料的過程。 Students visiting the green education centre at an SHKP mall in a Learn Beyond Books activity 同學參加「走出書本」活動，到新地商場的環保教育中心參觀 Students learning about the upcycling concept at the puppet show 同學觀賞布偶劇表演，認識廢物 重生概念 32 CSR - Reading & Holistic Development Vol 87 • Q1 2018 • SHKP Quarterly
