  • Chapter 3: Venue Support for Performing Arts Groups
    Chapter 3: Venue Support for Performing Arts Groups Introduction 3.1 LCSD manages 13 performing arts venues. Based on the design, roles and functions of the facilities, they can be classified into two broad categories: Purpose-built performing arts venues with sophisticated technical facilities capable of accommodating major and technically demanding programmes from the international touring circuit as well as established local performing arts groups, and attracting patrons from wide catchment areas. Some of these facilities are multi-purpose in design, and may be adapted for different types of events such as concerts, theatrical and multi-arts performances. The Hong Kong Cultural Centre, Hong Kong City Hall, Kwai Tsing Theatre, Sha Tin Town Hall, Tsuen Wan Town Hall, Tuen Mun Town Hall and Yuen Long Theatre fall under this category. Among these venues, the Hong Kong Cultural Centre and the Hong Kong City Hall are territory-wide facilities patronized by local citizens as well as international visitors while the Kwai Tsing Theatre, which is most sophistically equipped for theatrical productions, is capable of housing technically demanding programmes and is attracting audience from all over Hong Kong. - 43 - Moderately-equipped venues capable of accommodating small to medium-scale performances and activities including those organized by the community. The Ko Shan Theatre, Sheung Wan Civic Centre, Ngau Chi Wan Civic Centre, Sai Wan Ho Civic Centre, North District Town Hall and Tai Po Civic Centre fall under this category. Except for the Ko Shan Theatre, all other venues under this category are located in joint-user buildings with other municipal, sports, school or social welfare uses.

  • Committee on Museums: Recommendation Report
    LC Paper No. CB(2)2042/06-07(05) For discussion on 8 June 2007 Legislative Council Panel on Home Affairs Committee on Museums: Recommendation Report Purpose This paper sets out the Administration’s response to the key recommendations in the Report of the Committee on Museums (“the Report”). The Committee on Museums 2. To follow up the museum-related recommendations of the Culture and Heritage Commission (CHC)1, as well as the recommendations in a consultancy report on the mode of governance of Hong Kong public museums services2, the Committee on Museums (the Committee) was established in November 2004 to advise the Secretary for Home Affairs on the provision of public museum services in Hong Kong including the formulation of strategies and plans for the development of museum facilities and services, and strengthening of community support and partnership in the provision of museum services. 3. The Committee set up two Sub-committees, viz. (i) Sub-committee on Development Strategy of Museum Services; and (ii) Sub-committee on Governance of Museum Services, to examine the relevant issues in depth. The Committee held 11 focus group meetings to gauge the views of the community and stakeholders, including museum staff associations, visual arts groups, museum advisers and representatives from the education sector, about public museum services in Hong Kong. During the meetings, the participants 1 The CHC was established in April 2000 to advise the Government on the policies as well as funding priorities on culture and arts. It submitted the “Culture and Heritage Commission Policy Recommendation Report” to the Government in April 2003, putting forward its policy recommendations on, inter alia, public museum services.

  • Administration's Paper on Design and Installation of an Integrated
    LC Paper No. CB(2)1834/07-08(01) For information LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL PANEL ON HOME AFFAIRS Design and installation of an integrated exhibition system for the Hong Kong Space Museum PURPOSE This paper seeks Members’ support for our proposal to design and install a new integrated exhibition system to replace the current aged one in the exhibition halls of the Hong Kong Space Museum (the Museum). BACKGROUND 2. The Museum houses two permanent exhibition halls as well as a space theatre that presents Omnimax films and planetarium shows. The two existing exhibition halls, namely the Hall of Space Science on the ground floor and the Hall of Astronomy on the first floor, are the main attractions to visitors and play an important role in achieving the Museum’s educational goal to promote astronomy and space science to the public. For instance, in 2007, more than 98 000 school children (including 451 school groups) and about 275 000 visitors have visited the exhibition halls of the Museum. A total of about 61 000 school children have also participated in the various educational activities on astronomy and space science organised by the Space Museum. JUSTIFICATION 3. The exhibition halls of the Museum were first opened in 1980 - 2 - and were renovated once in 1990 after about ten years of operation. At present, after being operated for another 17 years, many exhibits, amounting to about 20% of all the exhibits in the Museum, are outdated as a result of rapid development in astronomy and space science. For example, most space exploration missions carried out in the last two decades are left out in the current exhibits.

  • Astronomy Education in China, Hong Kong Or on This Document Please Contact the Office of Astronomy for Education ([email protected])
    Astronomy Education in China, Hong Kong This overview is part of the project "Astronomy Education Worldwide" of the International Astronomical Union's Office of Astronomy for Education. More information: https://astro4edu.org/worldwide ​ Structure of education: Usually, children start their learning in kindergartens from 3 to 6 years old. It ​ is followed by 6-year formal education in mainstream primary education (taught in Chinese, English and Mandarin). Secondary school is compulsory for 6 years, studying all subjects for the first 3 years and registering their interested subjects (from Liberal Arts, Science and Business) as electives for the remaining 3 years. There would be Territory-wide System Assessments for P.3, P.6 and F.3 students every year for evaluating the overall learning standard of students. All twelve years of education at public schools are free of charge if studying at government and aided schools. In the final year of secondary studies, Form 6 Students need to prepare for the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education (HKDSE) Examination to fulfill requirements for higher-level studies. As for Post-secondary Education, there are multiple study pathways, such as 4-year bachelor’s degree programs and 2-year sub-degree programs. For non-Chinese speaking students and foreign nationals, there are also some international schools and private schools in primary and secondary education. They will continue their further studies to overseas universities or high-level educational colleges after another public examination, such as GCE A-Level and IB Diploma (different curriculum comparing to the mainstream education). Education facilities: Hong Kong schools have typical class sizes of around 25 to 30 students, ​ students usually would have the same timetables from primary to secondary (P.1-P.6 and F.1-F.3).
