(2) School Mission The mission of the school is to provide a pleasing environment for students to enjoy learning; to enhance their effectiveness in communication and develop in them a sense of creativity and commitment through a balanced education programme which covers ethical, intellectual, physical, social and aesthetic development. (3) School Motto "Seize The Day" -- Students are encouraged to treasure time and make use of it meaningfully. (4) School History Our school was named “The Ellis Kadoorie School for Indians” when it was set up in 1891 by Sir Ellis Kadoorie, an Indian Parsee, who was later awarded knighthood. It was the first school in Hong Kong where Hindi and Urdu languages were introduced. Over the years, our school has offered great care and concern to students and parents so that students can adapt to the local education system and integrate into the community quickly. At one time it was run in A.M. & P.M. sessions. It was upgraded to Form One in 1959-1960 and then to Form Five in 1978-1979. In 1980-1981, it was separated into Primary and Secondary schools under two school heads but both were still housed in the same building sharing the same playground. The majority of the primary graduates were promoted to Sir Ellis Kadoorie Secondary School. Due to the increasing demand for seats in both Primary and Secondary sections, the Secondary School moved to West Kowloon in September, 2000. Now the Primary section occupies the whole school premises in Sookunpo. _______________________________________________________________________________2 Sir Ellis Kadoorie (S) Primary School 2018/2019 Final School Report (5) The School Management Committee The School Management Committee has been set up since 1999.

  • 4. Ecological Impact
    Consultancy Agreement No. NEX/2301 South Island Line (East) Environmental Impact Assessment 4. Ecological Impact 4.1 Background This Chapter addresses the potential ecological impacts arising from the construction and operation of the proposed South Island Line (East) and the associated magazine site and barging points. It presented the findings of the literature review and supplementary field surveys conducted from June 2008 to November 2009. The potential impacts to the ecological sensitive receivers within the Assessment Area were assessed and suitable mitigation measures were proposed to minimise the potential adverse impact in accordance with Annexes 8 and 16 of the Technical Memorandum on the Environmental Impact Assessment Process of the Environmental Impact Assessment Ordinance. 4.2 Assessment Area The Assessment Area for ecological impact assessment covers an area of 500m radius along the proposed alignment of the South Island Line (East), associated work sites and areas for slope stabilisation work, magazine site and barging points ( Figure 4.1 ). The methodology and the transect routes for the ecological baseline assessment are presented in Appendix 4.1 and Figures A1-10 in Appendix 4. 4.3 Environmental Legislation, Standards and Guidelines A number of international conventions, local legislations and guidelines provide the framework for the protection of species and habitats of ecological importance. Those related to this Project are: Forests and Countryside Ordinance (Cap. 96), which prohibits felling, cutting, burning or destroying of trees and growing plants in forests and plantations on Government land. The subsidiary Forestry Regulations (Cap. 96 sub. leg.) prohibit the picking, felling or possession of listed rare and protected plant species.

  • Remote Sensing-Based Estimation of Carbon Sequestration in Hong Kong Country Parks from 1978 to 2004 Claudio O
    Open Environmental Sciences, 2009, 3, 97-115 97 Open Access Remote Sensing-Based Estimation of Carbon Sequestration in Hong Kong Country Parks from 1978 to 2004 Claudio O. Delang* and Yu Yi Hang Department of Geography and Resource Management, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shatin, NT, Hong Kong Abstract: This paper estimates the amount of carbon sequestered by vegetation and soil in the country parks of Hong Kong from 1978 to 2004. It does so by comparing satellite images of each country park from 1978, 1991, 1997, and 2004, and calculating the area of woodland, scrubland, and grassland in each image. The amount of carbon sequestered in both vegetation and soil is then estimated using aggregate data from other studies. This study shows that there was little overall ecological succession in the country parks from 1978 to 2004, but the amount of carbon sequestered doubled during that period. The paper concludes that limitations in the quality of the satellite images and in the data used to quantify the carbon sequestered by vegetation and soil call for more research before this method is used for policy planning. Keywords: Carbon sequestration, remote sensing, country parks, Hong Kong. INTRODUCTION photosynthesis, which can lead to enhanced growth and reduce water loss.
