  • 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.

  • 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).

  • IGI Hong Kong Opens New Headquarters Institute Relocates to the Historic Hung Hom District
    IGI Hong Kong opens new headquarters Institute relocates to the historic Hung Hom district Antwerp, Belgium (August 25, 2020) — IGI Hong Kong is pleased to announce the opening of new headquarters in the historic Hung Hom district. Home to numerous jewelry producers, the Hong Kong Jewelry Manufacturer’s Association, and international jewelry trade shows and expos, IGI’s decision to open offices in this key district is logical and practical. “Since its establishment in Hong Kong in 2004, IGI has continuously aimed to be in close proximity to the diamond, gem and jewelry trade - hence its original location in Central, followed by 9 years in the Tsim Sha Tsui area of Kowloon” said IGI CEO Roland Lorie. “However, Hung Hom, the true nexus, and historical birthplace of the gems and jewelry trade in Hong Kong – especially its jewelry manufacturing industry – has always been beckoning, and its strong pull could be resisted no longer.” Bob Van Es, IGI Hong Kong Country Manager, praised his team for safely and efficiently orchestrating the relocation during the COVID-19 crisis. “Our entire HK Team really stepped up to the plate. I’m sure I speak for all of us when I say that we are very much looking forward to welcoming you in our new premises.” Set on Kowloon Bay, Hung Hom is home to The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, one of eight universities in Hong Kong, as well as the grand Hong Kong Coliseum and the Senso Italiano Museum. The Hung Hom promenade follows the waterfront and offers views of both the neighborhood and world-famous skyline of Hong Kong Island.

    LC Paper No. CB(2)1675/16-17(02) Annex (1) Dedicated Project Team A dedicated project team set up under the Commissioner for Sports in the Home Affairs Bureau (HAB) is responsible for the preparation and implementation of the Kai Tak Sports Park (the Sports Park) project. The team comprises 18 members from different professions and grades, namely Administrative Officer, Leisure Services Manager, Architect, Landscape Architect, Building Services Engineer, Structural Engineer and Quantity Surveyor. Engineers and architects in the project team will examine the works details submitted by the successful bidder and take appropriate follow-up action to ensure the project is delivered with quality, in budget and on time. The Leisure Services Managers are responsible for formulating operational requirements and making recommendations on how monitor operation performance. The HAB has also engaged consultants to provide professional advice on operation, technical issues, quantity surveying, etc. and to solicit comments, through their networks, from overseas experts on the design, construction and management of an international stadium. (2) Problem of ageing venues At present, major events in Hong Kong are mainly held at the Hong Kong Stadium (built in 1952 and renovated in 1994), the Hong Kong Coliseum (commissioned in 1983) and the Queen Elizabeth Stadium (commissioned in 1980). The infrastructure and ancillary facilities of these venues cannot fully meet the latest standards for large-scale sports events and the expectations of international athletes and event organisers. Constrained by their size, location and environment, substantial improvement to these venues is also difficult. In general, these venues are not equipped with specially-designed media centre, doping control room, and office space for event organisers and technical staff.
