International Junior Science Olympiad - Hong Kong Screening 2011 Prize-giving Ceremony

To appreciate the high achievements of contestants in the International Junior Science Olympiad (IJSO) - Hong Kong Screening 2011, The Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education (HKAGE), the Gifted Education Section of the Education Bureau (EDB), The Hong Kong Association for Science and Mathematics Education and the Chief Executive’s Award for Teaching Excellence Teachers Association jointly organised the Prize-giving on 30 April 2011 afternoon at The Chinese University of Hong Kong.

The officiating guests of the day were the Executive Director of the HKAGE, Dr Stephen Tommis; the Chief Curriculum Development Officer of Gifted Education Section of EDB, Mr Chan Pui Tin; the Chairman of the Hong Kong IJSO Committee, Mr Lau Kwok Leung; and the Senior Instructor of Department of Chemistry of The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Dr Kendrew K.W. Mak.

Dr Tommis welcomed all awardees and guests and shared a few statistics from this year as listed below:

1. 352 students from 77 local schools were accepted for the competition; 2. 31% increase in the number of students when compared with last year; 3. 45% increase in the number of participating schools when compared with last year. 4. 24 students (including one primary-aged student) who scored with First Class Honour; 5. 66 students who scored with Second Class Honour; and 6. 91 students (including 4 primary-aged students) who scored with Third Class Honour.

Besides the individual awards, team awards were presented to the best 4 performing schools in the competition which were based on the total scores of the top 4 students from each participating school. The competition was keen for this year with 3 schools achieving the same score and being awarded the Championship title. The individual and team awards list can be found in the Appendix below.

Two of the IJSO 2009 Hong Kong team members, Tsai King Yung from Cheung Sha Wan Catholic Secondary School and Wong Hok Hei from Queen’s College shared their valuable experience at the end of the ceremony. Wong Hok Hei reflected that “The IJSO Student Training Programme, especially for the experimental sessions, equipped us well for the IJSO. Also, the Affective Education Programme (formerly provided by the EDB but now by the HKAGE) had polished our social skills. We also had a better understanding of ourselves and recognize our personal goal which has enhanced our personal growth”.

The IJSO-HK screening aims at identifying scientifically gifted students at junior secondary levels for training in advanced science subject knowledge. All of the First and Second Class Honour awardees have been invited to participate in a series of structured IJSO Student Training Programmes. Six outstanding students of the programme will be selected to represent Hong Kong to participate in the 9th IJSO to be held in early December 2012.
