National Security Education

 

National security education is part and parcel of national education.  For us, it is imperative to help students develop a sense of belonging towards the nation and the Chinese race, a sense of national identity, as well as an awareness of and a sense of responsibility for safeguarding national security.  In this way, students will grow up to be good citizens who identify with the country, respect the rule of law and abide by the law.

 

Our school holds a flag-raising ceremony every week. When holding activities to celebrate Constitution Day, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Establishment Day, National Day and etc. Flag-raising ceremony is also held. By participating in the flag-raising ceremony, students develop their national concepts and sentiments, thus strengthening their sense of national identity

Before the flag-raising ceremony, the flag-raising assistant reminds students, staffs and parents of the etiquettes that they should pay attention to when raising the flag, thereby to cultivate the flag-raising assistants' law-abiding and national identity.
