History and Hiking

Year 8 students are taking part in ‘Big History Hikes’.

Each year 8 group will spend a day hiking from Ma On Shan to Sai Kung Town, visiting some significant landmarks in Hong Kong history.

This week, students began their hike at the Ma On Shan Iron Mine Museum, before heading over the Ngong Ping viewpoint and finishing in Sai Kung.

Along the way, they were asked to think about how the local landscape has changed over millions of years, the effects that the landscape has had on the local culture, and vice-versa, and how humans have affected the landscape.

The activities have been designed by our outdoor educators, who are providing Year 8s with a wide range of outdoor learning opportunities, linked to different areas of the curriculum.

All the experiences are designed to help to develop the key skills of confidence and resilience which are central to our approaches.
