Here, we proudly showcase some of our favourite entries from the autumn edition.

Isabelle Faith Wei from Canadian International School of Hong Kong wrote an impactful letter highlighting the city’s poverty issues. She contrasted this with the increasing problem of food waste and highlighted how local initiatives were making a difference in addressing both waste and hunger.
Monique Siu Cheuk-nam from Chinese International School shared her experience from last November, where she witnessed first-hand the limited access to sports opportunities for youth in rural villages during a trekking trip in Nepal.

Madeleine Wong from German Swiss International School argued that schools should focus on teaching global history instead of local history, providing a well-written, persuasive and passionate response and cited an interesting and relevant study.
Hayley Sum from St Paul’s Convent School presented compelling evidence linking real-world success to skills and work ethic rather than the prestige of educational institutions, highlighting a need for a shift in hiring practices.
Most Creative
Chocolate Huang from Fung Kai No 1 Secondary School stood out for proposing “Grandpa’s Happy Journey”, a creative game that bridges generations and turns nostalgia into a thoughtful gift to remind the elderly of their youth.
