The Grade 7 Life-Wide Learning Day, themed "Explore, Experience, Connect," offers students an educational outdoor adventure at STK Farm in Sha Tau Kok—Hong Kong’s largest organic farm. Uniquely blending Sha Tau Kok’s rich historical background with sustainable agriculture, the programme delivers a hands-on learning experience beyond the traditional classroom.
A primary feature of the day is the "Eco Detective" mission, where students use iPads with e-Workbooks to explore farmland biodiversity, seasonal crops, and eco-technologies like aquaponics and black soldier fly waste processing. These interactive activities enhance environmental awareness while cultivating a strong understanding of wildlife conservation and ecology. In the afternoon, students engage in team-based orienteering that promotes problem-solving, careful observation, and peer collaboration. Complemented by a communal BBQ lunch that fosters group bonding, the programme seamlessly merges ecological education, local heritage, and practical outdoor skills.

“On Life-wide Learning Day, we went out to explore the wild. I was nervous at first when we had to touch insects and worms, but I soon calmed down. Our teacher told us about their habitats and how they live. It was amazing to learn these things not from books, but in nature. We finished all our group tasks before the time limit. Later, we had a fun barbecue. I ate sweet marshmallows, juicy sausages, chicken, beef, fish balls and siu mai. This day taught me to respect small creatures around us. I enjoyed working with my classmates and will remember this happy day.”

We shared tasty food together, including marshmallows, sausages, chicken, beef, fish balls and siu mai. This trip showed me nature is full of
