In South Lantau Island and other Outlying Islands, we constructed and operate 12 sma ll sewage treatment plants providing sewage treatment services to a total population of about 50,000.

' !-A1~1l'&~l~~~ 0 Rotating Biological Contactor (RBC) This sewage treatment process is used in Ma Po Ping, Shek Pik and Hei Ling Chau STW. A rotating biological contactor is a type of secondary (biological) treatment process. It consists of a series of closely spaced plastic discs as media for attached growth micro-organisms (biofilm). The discs are mounted on a rotating shaft which is supported just above the corresponding channel. Micro-organisms grow on the surface of the discs where biological degradation of the pollutants takes place. Aeration is provided by the rotating action, which exposes the biofilm to the air after contacting them with the sewage, facilitating the degradation of the pollutants.

It is also used in Ngong Ping Sewage Treatment Works, the first tertiary STW with reclaimed water facility. The SBR is a fill-and-draw activated sludge treatment system . The operation of the SBR, consists of three distinct periods, AERATION/MIXING, SETTLING and DECANTING . Each tank in the SBR system is filled during a discrete period of time. During aeration/mixing period, mixing and aeration are carried out in the tank to maintain a certain level of dissolved oxygen for the growth of micro-organisms. Following the aeration/mixing period, the sewage together with the micro-organisms are allowed to separate by sedimentation. The treated effluent is subsequently drawn from the reactor by decanting. For the new SBRs at Sha Tsui and Hei Ling Chau, treatment of influent and discharge of treated effluent are continuous. (1) 1Ii*t1 jiB -&;- Aeration I Mixing (2) jJ1i,!\2 Settling - '1_ ~K i .

Cross-boundary Transport Hub at Siu Ho Wan Background Siu Ho Wan is strategically located close to the North Lantau Highway Connection (NLHC) of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HZMB) and has the potential to serve as a transport interchange for cross-boundary traffic. A possible location of the cross-boundary transport hub is at MTR Siu Ho Wan Depot. The depot occupies 30 ha of land, with flexibility built into the design for retrofitting development above the depot. MTR access to Siu Ho Wan on the Tung Chung Line could be provided by the construction of an additional station, subject to Government’s approval for the station and authorization under the relevant Ordinance. The cross-boundary transport hub has the potential to be a major transport interchange, providing park-and-ride facilities, a MTR station and a public transport interchange.

This allows students to understand that Hong Kong on its own makes policies on sports and understand Hong Kong’s development and achievements in sports. The unit points out that under the principle of “one country, two systems”, Hong Kong athletes may join international sports events using the name, “Hong Kong, China”. The key learning points are as follows: Learning Activity 1: Salute to the Athletes ✧ Students know that the Basic Law allows Hong Kong athletes to join international sports events under the name “Hong Kong, China”. ✧ Students cultivate the sporting spirit of “never give up” through the stories of hard-working and outstanding Hong Kong athletes. ✧ Students appreciate the athletes who work hard for the glory of the State and Hong Kong. Learning Activity 2: Who is in Charge of Policies on Sports? ✧ Students know that the Basic Law allows the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) to make policies on sports on its own. ✧ Students understand that the Basic Law ensures that the non-government sports associations may continue to develop in Hong Kong. ✧ Students can recognize the duties of the relevant government departments and non- government organizations for sports development. The suggested learning time for this unit is 1 hour 30 minutes. 5-50 Primary 5 Primary 5 Theme 2 Theme 2 Unit 1 Unit 1 Learning Activity 1: Salute to the Athletes Key Learning Points: ✧ Students know that the Basic Law allows Hong Kong athletes to join international sports events under the name “Hong Kong, China”.

There are no cars here, or roads for that matter, just a narrow covered sidewalk that runs the length of a lane of restaurants. Kids will enjoy looking at the seafood tanks in front of each eatery that are filled with everything edible that lives in the sea. Live fish, shrimp, crabs, lobsters, mussels, clams, sea cucumbers and other delicacies are on display just waiting for their turn to be chosen (read: Eaten!). These restaurants are all reasonably priced (especially for groups), although there are some items that are very expensive (like spotted garoupa) so be sure to ask the price before you make your selection, especially if on the menu it 0-99 reads “Market Price”.
