Leadership Programme 2008

ThinkSeries Leaders 2008 – Shine On Stage

Resulting from over 100 interviews, 20 young leaders were selected, all with diverse talents and great potential. All our promising nominees were selected from different secondary schools all over Hong Kong.

Our intensive leadership development sessions are enabling us to fine-tune our leadership skills and inspire us with a sense of vision, thereby empowering us to take a leading role in the Think Again Awards Ceremony on 15 March 2008.

We are dedicated to becoming potential leaders of our community by having fun whilst building partnerships and friendships within the programme. We will make every endeavor to extend our influence to our fellow students who will ultimately shine one day on the world stage.

Think Series Leaders' Sharing

Carina Au-Yeung, Ho Fung College

It's really a great opportunity for me to participate in this leadership program. Organized by professional organizations, National Geographic Channel and Wiseman Education, and trained by excellent trainers, I am so glad that I am part of this program. In the last month, I have met great friends from all over Hong Kong. My teammates are from different schools and different districts.
However, we all have one common goal, which is to contribute to this program and to try our best. I can say this is nothing comparison to anything I have done before.
It's not merely doing, but achieving. "Sometimes it takes a while to recognize that someone has a special ability to get us to believe in ourselves, and imagine that together we can do great things." ---Caroline Kennedy
機會不是隨時會降, 一旦它來到, 我們便必須把握。與專業且有經驗的機構、導師合作,甚為難得。再加上遇到一班志同道合的同伴,機會更顯珍貴。
在這一個月來, 我們以 "專業" 作為我們的目標, 成為專業的司儀、記者、活動籌辦者, 獲得的除了是經驗、指導, 更是友誼以及回憶。

Carmen Bat, Diocesan Girls' School

The programme has brought immense excitement to my busy F.6 school life.
Although organizing an unfamiliar awards presentation ceremony with minimum guidelines and maximum deadlines to meet has not been an easy task, the programme has provided me with an invaluable opportunity to exercise my creativity, sensibility and the spirit of collaboration altogether to make the event as complete and enjoyable as it can be.
I am grateful for the inspirations and advice from my trainers, who have been very approachable, helpful and understanding. I am also grateful for the opportunities of working with the 19 talented teammates, who have given me a lot of practical support, encouragement and amusement in the complicated event organization process. The friendship and unity that we built together will last for a lifetime!

Steven Chan, STFA Leung Kau Kui College

This programme is indeed a little bit short. But it inspires me in terms of leaders' attributes and some practical skills. What impresses me the most is the exposure to all other strong candidates all over Hong Kong and the invaluable friendship gained. We inarguably shine both on stage and "off stage".
僅僅數個週五的課程，除理論性的領導、項目設計知識外，很重要的是和其他組員一起工作的過程。那過程已不僅僅是完成任務，當中還有學習，透過實踐與及和來自不同背景的人共同工作，磨合彼此意見、思維的好機會。

Frankie Chan, Tak Sun Secondary School

With the same target, twenty of us worked the ceremony out.
What we have learnt are life-long, and valuable, but the friendship we gain are much more than that. I'm very glad that having you guys to be my friends, this has enriched my F.6 life a lot. All the effort we have paid on during these three months are worthy. Wish that the Think Again Spirit can be spread to the world.
二十個人，同一顆心，共同經歷了一次難忘的盛事。 Award Ceremony 會有第三屆，Student leaders 會有第二批，但我們之間的這一份情只有我們才真正感受到。三個月的辛勞，換取了一輩子的回憶，友誼。所謂：「人生有個真正既朋友的確好極」，現在有十九個(只計了student leaders)，豈非樂哉？但願Think Again Spirit 將會薪火相傳，流芳百萬世。

Toby Chan, Yew Chung International School (Hong Kong)

The Think Again Leadership Development Programme has offered me the opportunity to excel myself to be a better leader while working with other students around Hong Kong.
As the Head Prefect of my school, the programme has not only helped me to gain experience through the training sessions, where leaders train us to be leaders of the future, but most importantly working with my teammates and learning from them for the best possible outcome. It is how we communicate that inspires me how I could be a better leader - something I didn't realize to be that important.
Besides working together, I'm delighted that my teammates are my friends at the same time, who we could relax with after training sessions. And we should not forget our trainers, their time and their patience. It is the sharing of their personal experience that truly motivated us to work for our future.
Although the Programme has to work its way through our busy schedules alongside with our public examinations, it is one that should not be missed for a lifetime experience!

Quenie Chen, Heung To Middle School

I am glad that I have a chance to co-operate with the students from different schools and to organize an awards presentation ceremony. I enjoy the preparation process because everyone spares no pain to work it out. And soon, we will perform in the ceremony. I hope what we learnt from this program and the friendship we gained can be lasted forever.
Being one of the 'Think Again' Leaders, I have gained many valuable experiences. Moreover, I have built up my confidence after participating in 'Think Again' leadership development programme. Working with 19 outstanding leaders from different schools of Hong Kong was a chance of a life time. Organising a big event like 'Think Again Documentary Making Competition Ceremony' seemed impossible for our 20 young leaders at first. However, we finally made it with our efforts. I am really proud of every single 'Think Big' leader and our friendships are godsend presents to me.
作為「思、賞、行」領袖生，我得到了很多寶貴的經驗。同時，我建立了更多的自信心。和１９個來自全港不同中學的傑出領袖生一起合作是一生人難得的機會。籌辦思賞行頒獎典禮似乎對於我們這班年輕的領袖生來說，是一個不可能的任務。然而，我們最終能夠順利舉辦，全賴我們付出的努力。我很為我們每一個'大想頭'的思賞行領袖生感到驕傲，同時，我們之間的友誼是天賜的禮物，值得永遠珍惜。

Kathy Cheng, MFBM Chan Lui Chung Tak Memorial College

I am Kathy, a form 5 student. I am studying in MFBM Chan Lui Chung Tak Memorial College located in Tin Shui Wai. Although we have got some trouble in Tin Shui Wai, I still think that Tin Shui Wai is not all that bad as the news reporters say. At least, there is a wonderful place where my school is.
I am delighted to use this opportunity to thank my principal and my English teacher Ms. Li for supporting me to join the Think Again Awards Leadership Programme and the Think Again Awards Documentary Making Competition. I have really learned a lot. Not only can I improve my English during this rewarding leadership programme, but I have also learnt to be independent and responsible. This is because we have to cope and solve problems ourselves unlike having a teacher to help us. I have to manage the difficulties myself. Another thing that makes me happy is I met a lot of new friends .They are all from good schools. They are very kind and capable to be the leaders. I am pleased that I have been chosen for the programme after the interviews. I promise that I will contribute things that I have learnt to my schoolmates and even our society. Thank you very much!

Queenie Cheng, HKUGA College

Like. No .Other. Experience
How time flies! It seems like only yesterday that Think Again Leadership Program begun! In a blink of an eye, we have reached the end of the program. Time spent at training was ever so rewarding! Not only has it taught me useful leadership skills which I will cherish for life, it has also taught me the art of co-operating and teamwork!
I will never forget the fantastic trainers and the supportive teammates I met here! Being the youngest of all can be challenging, however, I'm most grateful for the help from the other 19 lovely buddies, who walked through the journey with me!
I've had great satisfaction with what I have taken away with me through this program. As a result, it has set me with a strong foundation of leadership skills. This has also given Think Again Leadership Program the reputation it most deserves.
I hope in the near future, more programs alike would arise to nurture future young leaders!!
不一樣的經歷
不經不覺在領袖營已兩個月，從中學到的東西多不勝數! 在處事方式、待人接物，各方面都進步不少！組員當中，年紀最少的我，卻沒有被孤立！他們對我的關心和照顧都令我畢生難忘!! 儘管籌備的過程多麽具挑戰性，我們對Think Again的熱誠從沒改變!
領袖營教到我凡事要互相體諒，發揮團隊精神！還記得電子郵箱出現了問題時，一班組員都很樂意伸出援手助我解決問題！
總括而言，我非常享受過去短短兩個月的領袖營，學懂了許多令我銘記於心的人生道理，裝備我成為未來的領袖！
此次訓練所學到的東西不能一一盡錄，最後希望將來會有更多為年青人而設的培訓計劃，培養未來的社會棟樑！

Brian Cheng, Yew Chung International School (Hong Kong)

I am very thankful to be a part of the Think Again Leadership Development Programme. This programme certainly strengthens my ability to be a leader in every aspect.
Being president of the student council in my school, I have obtained immense amount of priceless experience and skills from this programme that I could apply now and for the rest of my life. I have learnt how to communicate with different types of people, even how to engage to a total stranger!
We appreciate all of our trainers who train us wholeheartedly with all their might. They have made us all better individuals and team players than we were before.
I wish to thank everyone who supports this programme to make this training programme possible. Also I would like to thank my teacher who nominated me, and of cause to all the leaders who we have leant together in the last two months.

Charles Chong, STFA Leung Kau Kui College

Through this activity I can co-operate with students from all over Hong Kong. Working with different types of students offers me new insight and perspectives. The experience has helped me to reach new heights.
Especially as the leader of the Press team, we have to manage the challenge of how to communicate effectively with the press / media. Though I am the deputy editor of my school newspaper, but dealing with outside press is a completely new challenge to us. Nevertheless, we tried our best to get the job done.
透過這個活動, 跟不同學校背景的同學合作啟發了我新的洞察力和認知, 令我獲益良多。
新聞組學生從工作中體驗到聯絡傳媒並不容易,也是我們全組人的一個新挑戰。我本身也是一個校園新聞記者, 亦是校內報紙的副編輯。然而,這次我的責任是要宣傳這個計劃,聯絡大眾傳媒以及準備新聞稿,需要跟社會各界人士交流。這種工作我以往很少機會嘗試, 所以我一定全力以赴。

Gwyneth Ho, Ho Fung College

It is such a great opportunity for me to be a part of this programme. An unforgettable experience to pursuit beyond one's limit, the Think Again Leadership programme truly allow me to enhance myself as a student leader, being able to express myself with full confidence. At the finale of the whole programme, I have the chance to show how this programme changed me – I am now well-trained and with an enlightened spirit. The experience made me a more capable person ,confident to Shine on Stage.
I would like to express my gratitude for the marvellous trainers, and the Wiseman team. What I have learnt from all of you is invaluable. And of course, I must say that these two months I shared with the other 19 young leaders will become a life-long memory that I will always cherish in the years to come.

King Fung Lam, Cognitio College (Kowloon)

I am pleased and thankful that I can have an opportunity to participate in this Leadership Program.
To me, I have undoubtedly learnt a lot after completing this course and truly it is quite special. During the course, I have discovered new skills which I have not seen and even thought of before. I have leant to think more in detail and think deeper in organizing an activity. I will remember what I have leant and I am going to use them in the future and contribute to the society.
Generally, I do think this program can increase the quota of participants so that more students can get benefits and learn from it.

Trevor Lee, St. Francis Xavier's College

As they say, 'Think Again' before you do everything.
I think nevertheless, we must NEVER think again to gain every opportunity to learn.
I am glad that I have cherished the chance of joining "Think Again Leadership Training Programme 2008", which I have learnt much from.
Thank you every trainers.
Thank you and congratulate every young leaders.
古語有云，凡事三思而後行。
我還是覺得，當我們要捏緊每一個學習機會時，就不必再三思了。
我珍惜了這次參與「思、賞、行領袖訓練計畫 2008」的寶貴機會，並在過程中獲益不少。
感謝每一位導師。
感謝並恭賀每一位年輕領袖。

Jessie Leung, St. Mary's Canossian College

'The winner is ...' this is a line that can be heard in every prize presentation ceremony. To me, attending an awards presentation ceremony is another time to sit back, listen to long and occasionally tedious speeches and wait for the time to go on stage. That's all. As an audience, I have never paid attention to details such as sign boards, reception, and decoration of venues...
But this time is different. I am playing a very active role in actually organizing the ceremony for over a hundred people. The logistics involved, the people that I have to deal with are of a totally different scale compared to the activities that I have organized before.
From making a checklist for every single detail to writing invitation letters to distinguished people; from contacting contestants to site visit; from chairing meetings to allocating tasks to team mates of various strengths... all these are invaluable opportunities that have polished and shaped me into a priceless gem, who I have learnt to address people's needs and to listen but not just hear.
Reminiscing, I have really enjoyed this leadership development programme - receiving training from prominent trainers and working with 19 other bright students coming from all over the territory. It often touches my heart when I receive heart warming messages from my team mates who ask me not to overload myself and take good care. The smilies (sent via MSN), the few simple words may seem trivial but they are indeed the driving force that keeps me going. I am glad that my team mates are always there to offer help reminding me that this is not a one-man band but a team work.
Nevertheless, there were times when I mentally broke down, baffled by the tight schedule and the endless work both at school and in the programme. Yet, I have made it to this stage with the immense support from Clement and Winnie who have given me a lot of valuable advice, support and encouragement.
As our big day draws near, I sincerely hope that we can all have fun in the ceremony and let our hard work pay off.
The winner is everyone of us.

Dorothy Lui, St. Mary's Canossian College

This is indeed an exciting, yet exhausting programme.
Every time when we step into a new training session, with a professional trainer standing in the middle of the room, it's a new journey of learning. Most of the training required us to be bold and step out of the environment that we're used to. We not only have to think out of the box, but also have to be brave to take decisions out of something that we have been doing.
It's exhausting and I have sacrificed sleeping hours for the preparation work for the ceremony. On top of you studies and other activities we all have, we have to handle such a large project and ceremony without much guidelines telling us what to do.
The pressure that has made me afraid that we would screw the ceremony up is sometimes unbearable, especially when you see there are a whole lot of things unfinished and the deadlines are drawing close. However, all these were compensated when you see all the supporting faces during meetings. The twenty of us, after working together for about two months, has not just been good working partners, but also lifelong friends.
I am sure that the twenty of us will stand as one and really shine on stage on in the Finale. Let's stun the public with our excellence and professionalism!

Juliana Tam, Maryknoll Convent School

The experience of being a Think Again Leaders was immensely empowering and inspiring. I got the valuable opportunity to polish my presentation skills with the help of highly-qualified, dedicated and encouraging trainers. I also realized the importance of leadership, confidence and team work. What's more, I enjoy working with 19 talented young persons, and I am sure that the friendship and bonding among us would be last forever!
不過短短兩個月的時間, 我已在Think Again Leaders的計劃裡獲益良多! 這裡有熱心的導師, 付出時間和精神去培養我們成為未來的領袖, 令我明白了領導才能,自信和團隊精神的重要性;這裡有主動學習,親切友善的學員, 訓練時互動的氣氛不但為我們譜下了不少難忘的回憶, 還為我帶來十九個好友, 這是多令人高興!

Anson Tong, The Mission Convent Church Holm Glad College

很開心能夠與來自十多間不同學校的學生合作籌辦頒獎典禮，我很享受與活動領袖的合作過程，由完全沒有到最後得出了一份完整的流程，只因每一位在繁忙的中六生活中，緊張的中五會考中，仍然抽出時間來完成這頒獎典禮實在令人鼓舞，很快我們便會享受我們的成果，但願當中的感情能夠延續下去，學習了的能夠薪火相傳。

Dickson Tse, Tsuen Wan Government Secondary School

It has all been like a dream. In the past I was definitely a quiet person. I didn't like talking, nor did I get involved in groups. This was mainly because I'm really shy and I admit that. It was because of my shyness that I often cut off myself from people. Only a few close friends actually know what kind of person I'm like. Other people get the impression that I'm just a serious and quiet guy, and that's about it.
When I had my first training session, I was really scared. All of the other 19 leaders spoke English and seemed to have better brains than me. Even though most of them were 2 years older than me I still wondered if I could ever be as smart as them when I was there age. It was a special feeling. They were (and are) real talented students from schools all over Hong Kong…and they were sitting right beside me!! I wondered if I could do a good job when I would have to work with them later.
However, my attitude changed after my experiences during the training sessions for the rehearsals for the Think Again Awards Prize-giving ceremony. There was a time when I felt like everything around me would come to a halt. I saw all the others (all are my friends now), working really hard for the ceremony. They had all come from different backgrounds, but yet, they were exerting their full power to make this ceremony a good one. At the same time, we were developing really close and sincere friendships with each other. They were confident and smart. They are truly the Think Again Leaders 2008. But for me there came the questions; "Who am I? Why am I standing between them? Do I want to be part of them, have them as my life-long friends and be a leader like them?" Then an answer came up from deep in my heart - "Yes! Of course, I want to be their friend! I love them! I also want to be confident leader like them!" Coming with these thoughts was a rush of energy. I felt that if I didn't try my best with them, I would disappoint everybody. Ever since this day, when I opened myself, the real me came out. I have arrived!
It has been really good experience. I've got very good buddies, and I've found myself. What I learnt is to be confident, and to be confident is to be yourself.

Annie Wan, Sacred Heart Canossian College

Remembering back to the whole interviewing process, I never thought I would learn this much from the whole 2-month long programme. What I thought I would learn were some basic communication and presentation skills. Yes, I learnt how to use these skills but I also learnt how to use them again in the future, even if I am not being a master of ceremonies. Definitely Yes!!!!
We learnt a lot of theories but putting those theories into practice was another story. Sometimes we succeeded, sometimes we failed. But that's the way we learnt and developed. It was through having (endless) meetings, hectic rehearsals and other tasks that I realized how supportive every body was. No one pretended they were smarter than anyone else (even if they were!).
What mattered most was being there and being a part of the team. The practical element of the programme is what made the training special; otherwise it would have all been just 'theories'.
In the past, the thought of working with 19 smarty-pants (fellow 'Leaders'), would have been a nightmare for me. But this programme proved me completely wrong. Each one of them was unique and our group was never complete if one of us was missing. I learnt a lot from the other leaders and very much enjoyed being their entertainment co-coordinator. It was indeed my honor to be a part of the Think Again Leaders Development Programme, organizing the whole award presentation ceremony, and knowing everybody else who was involved.

ThinkSeries Theme Song

Composed by Rose Lee (TS10), Lyrics by Vivien Ko (TS10)

On my own, I can fly, high above, in the sky

Love being alone, I lie

There’s no one on my side and I cry

But I feel someone standing by my side

Oh my friend, because of you all things seem so perfect

I wish our friendship would last till the end

ALL: The sun rises up every time you’re here

Girl: Make me standing strong

All the worries gone!

I want to thank you with all my love

ALL: My friend DO stay here beside I pray

ALL: All the time we’ve spent to play

Make me smile on my way

As what we have said.

Sharing of Teachers & Students

Carmen Bat | Diocesan Girls’ School

I would like to thank English Builder for organising such an awesome competition. It was great that I could take time from my busy schedule at school to contemplate society from different perspectives. I would like to especially thank all the staff at Wiseman Education who put in a tremendous effort into the preparation for the awards and the ceremony. When I started taking snapshots for the competition, I realised how the big and small things beside me can inspire me to probe deeper into the different aspects of the world. Thus, perhaps, the best way to spend this summer holiday is to sit back and reflect on some of the greatest lessons of my life…so far.

Ms Hau Man Wai | The HKTA Ching Chung Secondary School

“This writing competition is definitely a valuable experience to the entrants! Not only did it encourage teenagers to see writing as a useful tool to voice their thoughts but also provide a common platform for great thought sharing among teenagers. I do believe that students would find the whole event an absolutely worthwhile experience and even discover the beauty of their writings!”

Lee Cheuk Him Trevor | St. Francis Xavier’s College

Photography is always the attitude of photographers. Every photo has an unique story, which the photographer would like to tell everyone.

Think Great Snapshots Competition does us young photographers a great favour. It provides us an open stage to interpret and show people our thoughts and insights in photographs taken by ourselves.

I would like to thank Wiseman Education for always providing the young generation great opportunities to learn. I will surely join every TH?NKSeries organized by Wiseman in the forthcoming future.

Elaine Li | Melbourne Girls Grammar School

I was quite surprised that I got the award as there were so many outstanding entries. I would definitely participate again next year. I’d like to thank English Builder organizing this competition, and of course for the award.

Tse Chi-pang | The HKTA Ching Chung Secondary School

I was very happy to be given the Think Again award. I want to thank my parents, who supported me, and also my English teacher, who guided me.

What motivated me to write about ‘Freedom’? Well, my friends often told me that they did not feel ‘free’. However, to my mind, birds look free at all times. So, I wanted to let people know the feeling of being free, like a bird. That is the how I come up with the idea for my snapshot. Birds equal ‘Freedom’.

Angeline Yeh | St. Paul’s Convent School

Well, I feel very excited and happy about receiving an award and I am very surprised that my caption was chosen as the best in the competition out of more almost 2000 participants from almost 50 different schools. It is a very good motivation for students like me to join this activity and I’m sure that I will tell all my friends and family about this inspiring competition and give them an opportunity to strengthen their narrative and artistic abilities, not to mention their command of the English language.

I will definitely be participating next year because I believe in the positive effect of competition between students and I cannot think of any better way to learn how to improve myself than to be compared to students from all over Hong Kong. The trophy also looks very nice in my house!

The Think Great competition is a lovely idea to inspire Hong Kong’s youth of today. The future generation will have more brainpower and inventive ideas to sustain our status as Asia’s world city. However it would be nice if competitors were able to ask to compete in the Best Presentation award, by sending a video of themselves to the organiser, or posting it on Youtube, because I would have really loved to present my work in front of the judges but was not able to do so because of not being included in the shortlist ( what is actually the basis for picking photos for presentation award?).

English Builder is a great program and is THE most fun and innovative learning program of English I have ever used. It covers every aspect of English needed in daily life and always uses relevant and interesting topics as the basis for their exercises. However, there could be a greater emphasis on grammar, as of all the exercises I’ve done as of September 2007 only around two had grammar or technique-based questions.

All in all, I’m very happy to have been a part of this year’s competition as well as a part of the English Builder-using family. I very much look forward to joining again next year.

Sharings of Students

Queenie Cheng, HKUGA College

“Focus on the journey, not the destination. Joy is found not in finishing an activity but in doing it.” — Greg Anderson

Being both a leader and participant was a challenging and exciting role. This is my second year participating in this competition. Each year I have gained very different learning experiences.

At the end of the ceremony, I realized that winning an award was not the most important part of the competition. It was the process. When our group worked together well as a team, it was brilliant. Also, the everlasting friendships we made were unexpected.

I would like to congratulate all the participants who had the courage to join this competition, and regardless which award you received, you’re still all winners. Lastly, we would like to thank everyone who watched and appreciated the effort we put into making the video – we hope we have made you – Think Again!

Debbie Cheung, St. Paul’s Convent School

As a participant and winner of the Think Again Awards, I think that this competition is really worth joining. I learnt and gained so much experience through making a documentary with my team mates. If possible, I would like to join this competition again next year.

Carmen Ho, Janice Chow Alison Lam, Danielle So,Diocesan Girls’ School

Taking part in this competition has truly broadened our horizons and made us think again. Our friendship was developed during the process of creating this documentary, and we greatly cherished every minute of it. All in all, this was a most memorable experience to all of us, and we hope more of you have learnt something about Cantonese Opera—the one true art of the Chinese.

Law Ka Chun, Steve, S.K.H. Li Fook Hing Secondary School

I am indeed very honoured to be invited again as one of the judges for this meaning award program.

This year, my friends and I joined the Think Again Awards 2008 organised by the National Geographic Channel and Wiseman Education. It is a documentary making competition which consists of three different topics. Our team made an 11-minute short-movie on the topic Science, technology & Environment, and we titled it as Mobile Phone & Communication. We are delighted that we actually won the Think Again Award, which is one of the top prizes of the competition.

During the production process we learned so much. For example, we realized that producing a creative and informative documentary is not an easy job; the directing, editing and filming process are all crucial elements. Time management was also important. We had to manage our schoolwork and prepare for the A-level exams. Good team work helped us with our schedule and we all achieved our study goals.

As we have never made a documentary before, it was a new challenge and a great opportunity for us. I enjoyed participating in this competition greatly. Unfortunately, we have to take more A-level exams next year and will never have another chance to take part in it again. However, it will remain a remarkable memory for me and will stay in my heart eternally.

Leung Wai Fung, Yan Chai Hospital No.2 Secondary School

What can you do for the world? If you want to arouse the public awareness on some issue, I strongly suggest that you can join the Think Again Awards. It provides you a chance to show your feeling. Let’s join again next year!

Ling Chi Ho, Yan Chai Hospital No.2 Secondary School

It was a golden opportunity for us to learn how to express our feelings and it provided us a room for reflection. We hope students’ creativity will be enhanced by joining the competition!

Pau Wing Yan, Yan Chai Hospital No.2 Secondary School

It is my honor to take part in the Think Again Award. It was a good chance for us to think more about our society and culture. We all think that we should make more observation around us. Let’s wake up more people to concern about our society and culture.

Wong Ching Man, Yan Chai Hospital No.2 Secondary School

It is proud of me to win this award. We make “Smile” as the theme of our documentary as we would like to address the relationship between us becoming estranged. We hope people will be aware of this problem since our families and friends are so important to us. We should treasure them.

I think this competition can provide a chance for the students to share what they think of the world.

It is a good way for us to know what problems we have.

Wong Sik Yin, Yan Chai Hospital No.2 Secondary School

It is a good opportunity for us to present our view and feeling to other people. When sharing the feeling with others, we can arouse an awareness of relationship. Like our topic “To smile or not to” which wants people to pay attention to their attitude in daily life. The busy lifestyle makes us feel bored and tired. Sometimes we may ignore others. Actually we just give a smile or say “Hello!” to your neighbor or the one you see every day but never talk. A simple action really can make a good response. May be you can think that it is a good start.

Also I would like to thank my group members who tried their best to make this document perfect especially Anthony Ling. You are the best. I was surprised when I heard that we won the prize. I am so happy that our view was supported by the adjudicators.

Xu Chan Ling, Fan Shu Yao, Luo Wen Qi, Wang Qin Yuan, Suzhou Lida School

It’s wonderful to show the beauty of Suzhou to the people in Hong Kong. We learned a lot during making the documentary. It’s our great honor to get ‘the Best Editing Award’. Hong Kong is such a beautiful place, and we will never forget our trip there when we attended the Think Again Awards Ceremony.

Sharings of Principals & Teachers

Mrs. Grace Kwok, School Principal, MFBM Chan Lui Chung Tak Memorial College

Thank you very much for giving me this opportunity to participate in the 2008Think Again Awards Ceremony. Throughout the process, I learnt, I earned and I enjoyed. I hope I could have brought along all my students to enjoy the whole scene and learnt from all the Think Again Leaders who were so confident and proud of themselves.

Heartful thanks again for giving the platform for students to shine and show their talents. Without such caring company and people like Wiseman Education, Hong Kong’s education would not be so lively and memorable. Lastly, all the best wishes to your continuous development towards the provision of excellent programs to students of Hong Kong, Asia and the future world!

Ms. Joyce Wong, English Panel Chair, Yan Chai Hospital No. 2 Secondary School

I am so proud of my students that they won an award again in the Think Again Documentary Making Competition 2008. I truly appreciated their pursuit of perfection during the process. Their drive, enthusiasm and vigor really impressed me. This competition provides our students with a golden opportunity to explore things from different perspectives and inspire their thinking. I will encourage my students to partake in it again next year.

Mr. Remy Wong, English Panel Chair, STFA Leung Kau Kui College

I am glad to see our school’s two young leaders shine in the Think Again Leadership Programme 2008. It’s indeed an eye-opener for them, sharpening their leadership, communication and organizational skills. Well done boys! And for the participants of the Think Again Documentary Making Competition 2008, I am sure every one of them is a winner as they have developed new insights and perspectives in cultural awareness, global knowledge and various aspects of documentary production. Many thanks to Wiseman Education for organizing these educational events for our students!

Sharings of Organisers

Mr Clement Chung, Wiseman Education

To every student who has completed a documentary: your documentaries show us your ability and potential. People say students are our future; I say they are our present!

By participating in this event, students are actively engaged in enquiry learning through: planning, research, role playing, writing, using technology, and presenting. Their passion drives this learning activity. The novelty of new contexts and ideas raises not just their curiosity and interest but ours as well.

Thank you to fellow teachers and principals who lead us right. Thank you to our co-organisers, Education Bureau, National Geographic Channel and Hong Kong Parents Association for believing in dreams.

Mr Yeung King Fai, Senior School Development Officer, Education Bureau

The Think Again Awards is a great event for the education sector. Our students learn a lot from the event, from research, script writing, problem solving to presentation. The success of this event illustrates that our students are creative and capable. We appreciate the contribution from the Wiseman Education and the co-organizers for making the event a success.

Mrs Kitty Ma, Hong Kong Parents Association

I enjoyed much to attend the ceremony and I am very happy to see those awarded young leaders again. They all have got big improvement in social skills and self-confidence throughout the training. The project is meaningful to carry on. It’s my pleasure to THINK AGAIN next year.

Madam Lau Shun Hing, Hong Kong Parents Association

I am indeed very honoured to be invited again as one of the judges for this meaning award program.

This year’s entries contents are so extremely creative and of very high standards. As a parent, I am amazed by the imagination and the excellent production skill of the students. Some of them, to my observation, are closed to professional standard.

From these creative works, it shows that our young generation’s life is colourful and enriched. This is what I appreciated most. Furthermore, through the whole production process, they had the opportunities to learn and train themselves to tackle all the difficulties they had encountered. This will certainly train them to solve a lot of their problems which they will face during their life in future.

Ms Reddy Chan

“Think Again Award” is a wonderful and meaningful programme. It is because students can learn and do things together for the project. Throughout the project, the students can improve their social skills, observation skills and build up their self-confidence as well. I enjoy it very much and I will recommend this activity to others.

BEST NARRATOR AWARD – Junior section

School:	Diocesan Girls’ School
Documentary Title:	Cantonese Opera
Team Members:	Carmen Ho, Janice Chow
	Alison Lam, Danielle So

Comments:

Very well-produced documentary! Great combination of material, from archival footage to contemporary productions and interviews.

What do you hope that the audience thinks or feels after watching? Your project does a brilliant job capturing history, development, and challenges, and in the future you might consider how to leave your audience with questions that they will carry forward!

– Mr Nathan Johnston, Director & Creator, Inside / Out Cultural Exchange Film Project

Great script! Great narration! Great documentary!

We would like to hear what students think (their perspectives) about Cantonese opera.

To set your documentary mood, you may impress your audience with abeautiful melody or lyrics.

Carefully select an opera to give the introduction to your documentary a strong beginning.

When researching your music it is best to find one peice of music that you can use intermittetly throughout your documentary. Having the same piece of music will give your documentary a sense of unity.

Overall, very impressive!

– Mr Clement Chung, CEO of Wiseman Education

BEST NARRATOR AWARD – Senior section

School:	La Salle College
Documentary Title:	A World City?
Team Members:	Lee Lin Tai Linus, Kwan Lok Oh

Comments:

This clip is a big blow on audience’s head. While tourists keep saying that Hong Kong is a world city based on our language proficiency, Hong Kong people demonstrate very little on knowledge of the world. I am impressed by the breadth and depth of the investigation, and the messages presented. I am particularly impressed by the solemn tone carried by the narrator. All in all, well done.

– Dr Anson Yang, Vice Principal, SKH Li Fook Hing Secondary School

BEST DIRECTING AWARD – Junior section

School:	Wah Yan College Kowloon
Documentary Title:	What is Science Technology for?
Team Members:	Chan Shing Po Ignatius, Chu Ho Yan Howard
	Siu Wang Yi Jonathan, Wong Chun Kit Alister
	Lee Ming Ho Delfin

Comments:

The video creates interest in the topic and help viewers see their complicity, while offering practical solutions. Effective! Good integration of music. Could focus more on envisioning a different future, through creative means, or perhaps gather more comprehensive views on current situation.

– Mr Nathan Johnston, Director & Creator, Inside / Out Cultural Exchange Film Project

Positives:: – Good use of shots and graphics; – Good editing
Things to work on:: – Can reduce the variety of info on the many environmental issues and concentrate on the detail of a few; – Title is deceiving

– Mr Burman Lam, Producer of National Geographic Channel Asia

BEST DIRECTING AWARD – Senior section

School:	St. Paul’s Convent School
Documentary Title:	Domestic Violence Documentary
Team Members:	Natalie Lam, Beatrice Law
	Inez Wong

Comments:

The use of dramatizations, victim interviews, and expert opinions is quite compelling. You capture the situation for victims well, and researching public opinion provides an effective an important perspective.

You creatively bring the audience into the experience of victims… similarly, can you imagine creative ways to inspire your audience to think differently about this problem? Or to analyze the causes more deeply?

– Mr Nathan Johnston, Director & Creator, Inside / Out Cultural Exchange Film Project

A through look at one of Hong Kong’s greatest social ills: domestic violence.

Excellent research.

Good use of “man in the street” interview techniques well supported by subtitles.

– Mr Phil Knauth, Editor in Chief, English Builder

Domestic Violence Documentary (DVD) – A very creative way to approach this serious subject. The documentary achieved its objectives and made us think about this sensitive subject that happens all too frequently in our society.

Your documentary was also well researched. You also sought to ask people from a variety of backgrounds for their views on the subject. The closing song, combined with the images made us all breath a little easier towards the end!

Well done!

– Mr Clement Chung, CEO of Wiseman Education

BEST EDITING AWARD – Junior section

School:	Suzhou Lida School
Documentary Title:	Heaven – Suzhou
Team Members:	Xu Chan Ling, Fan Shu Yao
	Luo Wen Qi, Wang Qin Yuan

Comments:

This video is informative, interesting, well filmed, well documented, and highly interesting.

The use of the chosen music is outstanding, and strongly supports the images.

This video earns my highest respect for all categories, and for its overall impression.

All honours to the Team who worked so well together to produce this better than excellent look at Suzhou.

This video makes we want to invite my wife to come with me to visit this lovely city.

– Mr Phil Knauth, Editor in Chief, English Builder

This documentary is well made. It shows the beauty of Suzhou, both the old Suzhou and the new Suzhou. Both the visual and acoustic effects are effective. Two different styles of music, one appropriate for the old Suzhou and the other for the new Suzhou, are well chosen. The authors are good at showing the meaning of life through very simple things, like two dogs playing with each other which shows how people enjoy life in this relaxing, tranquil city. Good job!

An excellent piece of work. Dare to attempt the documentary films from some very innovative ways. Contents are also very good. Students managed to deliver the messages / information by using a story instead of purely introducing the hard facts.

Documentary Title:	Putting Nature back to the Nature

Comments:

Positives:: – Great use of interviews.; – Great use of footages for cutaways as it refers to the VO; – Production value extremely high; Good choice of music.; – Strong understanding of when to use and when not to use music.; – Very well edited; – Steady camera work and the shots are framed well.
Things to work on: (When I see a video of higher standards I will judge it based on a higher standard as well. My comments below should be seen equally as complements): – Style of camera work is extremely repetitive. Close-up zooms to wide, wide zooms to close-up… Can try experimenting with different style or simplify the script if there is really nothing to show.; – Some interviews had the interviewer looking off-camera while others were looking into camera. Try keeping it consistent the next time around.; – Audio taken during the green/blue screen shoot could have been done better.; – While graphics are good to have there must be a reason for it and not just for the sake of looking good. The opening portion looked slick but I didn’t really understand why the sequence was done in the way it was done in. The green/blue screening sequence felt disjointed to the rest of the documentary.; – Feels more like a news piece then a documentary because the script was not providing anything new or gave a different perspective on the topic in hand.; – Overall the documentary was solid and very “text book”. But didn’t make me thing again.

Comments:

Focusing on what people generally consider as a taboo, this interesting documentary indeed provokes us to think deeply. The interviews conducted on the streets clearly reveal that there are different voices in our society.

Besides, it is thoughtful and professional to show the backside of the interviewees only whenever the discussion revolves around a sensitive issue.

Comments:

This documentary touches our hearts! It talks about love, looks at the sensitive issues surrounding death. The touching background music and captivating images also encouraged us to think about the meaning of life. This was not an easy topic for junior secondary students but you demonstrated a very mature insight.

It is great to share what you have learned. The music at end the documentary was simply stunning and selected with great throught.

Well done!

Comments:

A thought-provoking video. Interviewing people from different background make the video a representative one. As for the shooting techniques, the angle from which the shots are taken is selected nicely. A mysterious and spooky atmosphere is created by the background sound effects and the shots taken in dim places, which is good.

Comments:

Positive:: – Good graphics
Things to work on:: – Audio during interviews can be improved by doing the interview at an alternative location; – Interviews looked staged which is unacceptable in documentary film making

– Mr Burman Lam, Producer of National Geographic Channel Asia

The documentary is creative and interesting. Using cartoon animation to illustrate the change of dynasty is smart and entertaining. The ending does make us think – why products made in China are perceived poorly. It would be better to have a strong ending echoing the beginning.

The documentary only needs a little touch up to make it great! Keep up your good work.

Comments:

Highly relevant topic that deserves wide dissemination among Hong Kong secondary school students.

The evening news format was very effectively done.

The end of program weather report added a very good touch of realism.

As there was no more than 15 seconds of music, I was forced to rate that category lower than I would have liked.

Comments:

An excellent piece of work. Students managed to ask some very good questions, leading the audiences to think again some significant points on the use of casual languages.

– Mr Yeung, king-fai, Senior School Development Officer of EDB

It is very tempting to use causal language after seeing this documentary, so this video must be very effective! It is also entertaining.

It would be great to hear more about the impact of causal language, students, teachers and parents’ perspectives on the subject.

Overall, this is a good documentary!

Comments:

The script is absoltuely wonderful. The prose is at times poetic, fluid and is well written. The team must have done a lot of research before filming. It is a well thought out piece of documentary.

It is a very informative and the Hong Kong Tourist Association should consider putting it in their website for reference.

If the quality of live recording can be better, this documentary will go up another notch in quality.

A job well done for all the team members!

– Dr Louis Woo, Non-executive Director of Wiseman Education

Highly imaginative views of Hong Kong, well narrated and informative. Subtitles are excellent.

Excellent editing as the video moves from market to market.

Superb coverage of the topic.

Good choice of subject matter; highly relevant to today’s Hong Kong social situation.

Outstanding script and narration.

Very good subtitles; easy to read and accurate.

Highly informative; a true teaching video that deserves wide dissemination.

The song sung by the elderly Maryknoll Convent School student was, in particular, touching, very touching and moving.

Documentary Title:	Grey or Green?
Team Members:	Judy Chu, Hanif Cheung

Comments:

I like the experiment part very much because it takes the audience on a ride and we see the problem “first hand”, so to speak. If we want to emphasize the seriousness of the issue, perhaps we should see more “grey” sky. The beginning two minutes look like a travel documentary and it promotes, rather than investigates. The interviews with experts are very convincing for a documentary. The introduction of the team members at the end is very very creative. All in all, well done.

Comments:

Positives:: – That is what I call a great opening!; – Great use of footage; – Great shots and framing; Good music usage; – A video that telecommunication companies can use to educate their consumers
Things to work on:: – The shots of the phone got a little repetitive maybe cut to closer shots of the screen for variety and a better view of what is happening on the screen; – The video suddenly ends, was the ending cut off? If so I would like to see the end of the video.

Comments:

Excellent coverage of the material. Informative, covering different forms of politeness not just in Hong Kong, but around the world as well.

Some problem with with noise overriding the narrator now and then.

Good use of subtitles.

Editing was excellent, with varied forms of cuts and fades.

The closing message was well chosen: “Whoever one is, and wherever one is, one is always in the wrong of one is rude”. I agree one hundred percent with this point of view.

Comments:

Good documentary and substance to convey the message that the public has conveniently forgotten to pay attention. Putting positive spin on those who are physically challenged is a good perspective for young people to take. Using good example of the blind collaborating with the lame to cross barriers is a motivating example for young people to build teamwork and be comfortable with their own merits and disadvantages. Good piece to get the public to ‘Think Again’!

– Ms Susanna Chiu, Council Member of HKICPA

Positives:: – Wonderful Topic; – Great opening and End
Things to work on:: – Selection of footage limited; – Visuals did not match the VO (voice over). Did not see aquatic sports when it was mentioned
