On 8th April, 2010, our S6 students visited the highest law-making organ of Hong Kong, the Legislative Council. The objective of the activity is to enhance students’ knowledge to the legislature of Hong Kong so as to promote good citizenship among our students.

We are greatly honour to have our Supervisor, Hon Dr Lam Tai Fai, BBS, JP, to be with us for the tour. After visiting the Chamber, Conference Rooms and Dining Hall, a brief introduction on the operation of Legislative Council was arranged in the Press Conference Room. Many students showed great interest to know more about this highest law-making body of Hong Kong as well as the Legislative Councillors.

Lastly, a role play simulation on the reading of a bill was arranged for students. Students were asked to debate on the bill of ‘whether school should allow students to bring their mobile phones to school”. Heat debate was conducted and our students really enjoyed being acted as a member of the Legislative Council as well as officials of HKSAR.

本校於四月八日舉辦立法會參觀活動，參與者為中六全級同學，此活動之目的為增加學生對香港立法會的認識，並從而推廣公民意識。

當天，本校榮幸地得到校監林大輝立法會議員為同學親自介紹立法會。校監首先帶領學生參觀立法會各議事廳，會議室及宴會廳，然後介紹立法會的組成及運作，並分別回答同學問題，同學們都對立法會的運作深感興趣。

最後同學更參與討論《流動電話條例草案》的角色扮演遊戲，於議事廳中模擬討論及制定法例的過程，並初嘗當立法局議員的滋味。
