With the aims of learning more about sustainable energy and urban development, fostering a closer relationship with Sangmyung High School, and connecting with the Maryknoll Sisters who are currently based in Korea and Japan, 19 students of Form 3 to Form 5, accompanied by three teachers, took part in a study tour to Seoul from 6 to 9 July this year.

Staff and students were inspired by the green initiatives taken by the South Korean government, especially the restoration of Cheonggyecheon Stream and its staunch support of upcycling and clean energy. They also treasured the quality time spent with the Maryknoll Sisters and affiliates, and promised to maintain an even closer tie, working together whilst making God's love visible. The visit to our Sister School in Seoul, too, allowed time for cultural exchange, and both institutes agreed to stay in touch to continue to facilitate similar programmes.

It was on a high note that the trip was concluded, and the school looks forward to organising more study tours for students, readying them to be global citizens and stewards of the Earth.
