On 29 September 2015, the Environmental Campaign Committee held a presentation ceremony to present the Green School Award under the 13th Hong Kong Green School Award to 52 schools, in recognition of their environmental protection efforts. Both of our Ho Shun Primary School and Ho Ming Primary received the Green School Silver Award, while the latter was also awarded a certificate of merit in the Hong Kong Awards for Environmental Excellence – Schools Sector (Primary).
The Hong Kong Green School Award is organised by the Environmental Campaign Committee, Environmental Protection Department and Education Bureau since 2000. The Hong Kong Institute of Education, Hong Kong Productivity Council and Vocational Training Council are the co-organisers. The objectives of this Scheme are to encourage schools to formulate a school environmental policy and environmental management plan towards a green school; enhance environmental awareness, develop environmentally friendly attitude and promote green practices among school managers, teachers, non-teaching staff, students and their parents.
