Their sharing and Mr. Michael Wong Wai Yu’s closing remarks helped us reflect on what kinds of talents would be needed in the future and how we could equip our youngsters to fulfil the requirements of “new professionals”.

St. Mary’s Church Mok Hing Yiu College. We hope that we can brainstorm on the issue of student population and discuss the short-term, interim and long-term solutions for it.
