Welcome by the President .:
|
|
Welcome
to the Official Webpage of HKOSA!
For
the past 22 years, our Association has strived to provide innovative
projects for students to expose themselves to all aspects of society,
as well as to develop their leadership skills and sense of social
conscience. Keeping the previous ideals of “Social Obligation, Local
Sensation, Global Aspiration” we hope to continue contributing to
all sectors of society and drawing our members closer together.
This year, bearing the theme “EXPLORE: EXPerience the earth, LOve
the living, REach to reality”, the 23rd Executive Committee is devoted
to continue to serve the community with great passion.
We
believe that every breakthrough in human history originates from
an initiative to explore. There is unlimited knowledge in the world
and boundless potential within oneself, but not until we put aside
our mere curiosity and take action, can we clearly perceive how
much we can truly achieve. Not until we step out our comfort zone
with the adventurous spirit of exploration can we realise what is
outside our circle. Therefore, the Executive Committee has opted
for the theme “EXPLORE” this year.
Through
the various external projects we will organise this year, we hope
to provide students in Hong Kong with the chance to EXPerience the
earth through gaining fascinating cultural insights of different
countries; the chance to express their LOve for the living, through
serving the needy with a compassionate heart; and the chance to
REach to reality through acquiring in depth knowledge of highly-debated
topics of society and through experiencing them first-hand.
With
pioneering spirit and tremendous courage, just like that of Christopher
Columbus, we are confident that this is going to be another remarkable
year in the history of OSA. We look forward to your support and
participation in our projects. May we anticipate another wondrous
year for the HKOSA!
Thank
you for visiting our site!

The Interflow Camp 2010 - "Ecovation" has been successfully held
between 27th to 29th July 2010 at the Po Leung Kuk Pak Tam Chung
Holiday Camp. The camp promotes the message for a lower impact lifestyle
in the 21st century by achieving sustainable development. The camp
was a simulation of a climate conference for young scientists of
different countries to attend and share their perspectives and understanding
on sustainable living.
Before the camp, participants had the opportunities to visit CLP
EcoHome and EcoPark Visitor's Centre, two green exhibitions to deepen
their understanding on the issue of green lifestyle. In the camp,
participants took part in a wide range of activities ranging from
presenting an innovation made from trash and used goods, a cap-and-trade
simulation and the creation of a music video to promote the message
to fellow youth. These music videos are now accessible at www.youtube.com/ICamp2010Ecovation.
Thanks must be given to our title sponsor, CLP Group, for their
unwavering support, as well as other supporting organisations, schools,
participants and organising committee members.

As a tradition
of our Association, the Annual Dinner is the most important internal
event of the year, serving as a round-up for yet another fruitful
year of our Association. The Annual Dinner 2010 will provide an
excellent opportunity for you and other members to come together
to recall and share your past memories in the OSA family, as well
as to look ahead into your sparkling futures. This year, the theme
of the special dinner is 'ROSA' - 'rose' in Latin. Red and white
roses symbolise love and unity, and at the same time, 'ROSA' reads
'ROSE' plus 'OSA', portraying the everlasting love and friendship
established in our big OSA family. More importantly, it is hoped
to commemorate our dearest Auntie Doreen who was always a caring
mentor in our family. The details of the dinner are as follows:
Date:
1st August 2010 (Sunday)
Time: 19:00 - 21:45 (Registration starts at 18:30)
Venue: Happy Valley Suite, Hong Kong Football Club, 3 Sports Road,
Happy Valley, Hong Kong Fee: HKD240 per head

Ms
Doreen Leung Dor-Ling, our honorary advisor, has left us peacefully
on 1st November 2009. On behalf of the Hong Kong Outstanding Students’
Association, we would like to express our deepest grief towards
her pass away and our gratitude to her guidance and nurturing through
these years.
Honoured
with the Ten Outstanding Young Persons of the World Award in 1984,
Ms Leung had been a keen supporter of youth development in Hong
Kong amongst many of her specialised fields. She served as the chairperson
of the Organising Committee of the Hong Kong Outstanding Students
Award since its inception in 1985, and had always been a guiding
figure for our Association through these 24 years. She had been
a great mentor to us all, and taught us valuable lessons in life.
Her
pass away is a great loss to our Association and society at large.
May we pass on our warm regards to her family and friends and we
would once again like to thank her for her contributions to young
people in Hong Kong. Without Auntie Doreen's zealous contribution
to the Award and its development, our Association and the friendships
among OSArs would have never been possible. Auntie Doreen will always
stay in our hearts.
