College Life

Reflecting on my time at HPSHCC for the Higher Diploma in Tourism and Hospitality Management, I recall a lot of fond experiences that have profoundly shaped my academic and personal growth, ultimately aiding in my success in receiving an offer letter from The University of Hong Kong. My 2-year journey at HPSHCC was nothing short of enlightening, embellished by dedicated lecturers, an engaging curriculum, as well as a multitude of extracurricular activities. By applying curricular theories, I thoroughly enjoyed the immersive practicality of the coursework through creating a travel guidebook, and I also  found a passion for event planning. The accumulation of all the seemingly transferable skills and knowledge I have acquired brought me to a Bachelor’s programme in Global and Area Studies at The University of Hong Kong. This programme not only taught me about the tourism industry, but also instilled in me the ability to learn, grow, and thrive wherever my academic journey leads. 

Through my two-year study at HPSHCC, I acquired fundamental knowledge in the healthcare field. In addition to foundational classroom learning, we participated in various practical tests and laboratory practices, which are the essential skills for healthcare professionals. These learning activities will turly be invaluable for my future studies or professional career. Moreover, I wish to express my sincerest gratitude to all the lecturers. They provided immense support and motivation, consistently encouraged me to move forward, and helped me achieve significant accomplishments in my life.

Studying the Higher Diploma in Surveying and Property Management has been an incredibly rewarding experience, equipping me with both theoretical knowledge and practical skills for the industry. My favorite subjects were Project Management for Surveying Profession and Planning and Development, as they provided hands-on insights into coordinating construction projects effectively. Learning how to change the land use terms, manage procurement, and oversee project timelines gave me a clear understanding of real-world project execution. I am grateful for the supportive lecturers and the industry-relevant curriculum, which have built a solid foundation for my future career as a professional surveyor. I highly recommend this programme to anyone pursuing a future career in surveying or property management.

This course provided me with extensive knowledge of computer applications, equipping me to handle various workplace scenarios effectively. When I was unsure about my future and career planning, Mr. O'Neal Wong, the Programme Coordinator, was eager to offer guidance and advice. I was able to leverage the internship opportunities offered by the College to enrich my resume, expand my horizons, and acclimate to the professional environment ahead of time.

I am grateful to the College for providing practical teaching models and scholarship programmes that have allowed students to develop their potential. The Higher Diploma in Tourism and Events Management has deepened my understanding of the tourism industry and helped me discover my interests and career prospects. I appreciate Miss Amy's teaching methods, which not only enhance knowledge retention but also keep students actively engaged.

Over the past two years, lecturers have been supportive with questions regarding further education and employment, boosting our confidence to strive for our goals. I am thankful for the attention and understanding from the College and lecturers, which have enabled me to pursue higher education. I hope all students will work hard and believe in themselves as they move toward their goals.

Time truly flies. It feels like just a blink, and I'm already preparing to say goodbye to the College where I’ve spent the past two years. During this time, I’ve noticed several substantial changes in myself. Compared to before, I’ve become more self-sufficient, assertive, mature and clear about what I want to achieve. I’m now focused on seizing every opportunity.

I am grateful to have attended HPSHCC, a place that encourages students to work hard and pursue their dreams. It not only offers advanced learning facilities and a beautiful, peaceful environment, but more importantly, the lecturers here are passionate about teaching. They make a strong effort to understand and support students, providing valuable academic guidance and encouragement to help us achieve better results.

I believe that working smart is more important than simply working hard. Preparing in advance, creating detailed plans, and managing time effectively can greatly increase your chances of success. If you encounter difficulties in class, be brave enough to ask questions and participate actively. With the College’s comprehensive support for further studies, achieving success is entirely possible. Ultimately, your path is something you must carve out for yourself — and with a mindset of lifelong learning, you will surely find your way.

Reflecting on my past two years at HPSHCC, I am profoundly grateful for the unwavering support and guidance from the College and lecturers. The Higher Diploma in Hotel Management has endowed me with invaluable skills, industry knowledge, and practical experiences, meticulously preparing me for a thriving career in the hospitality industry.

Through my internship, I seamlessly applied classroom knowledge to real-world scenarios, honing my problem-solving and teamwork skills. These experiences have transformed me into a confident and proactive individual, poised to tackle industry challenges with finesse. I eagerly anticipate applying the knowledge I've acquired as I embark on the next chapter of my future journey.

Over the past two years, I have acquired invaluable knowledge about the hospitality industry. This journey has been enriched by the unwavering support of my College lecturers, who guided me in navigating the complexities of the field. The College also facilitated internships that allowed me to apply what I had learned in real-world settings. While the internship presented its challenges, it significantly strengthened my practical skills and provided me with deeper insights into the hospitality sector.

Beyond academics, the College provided a vibrant array of activities, including cocktail workshops, volunteer programmes like V-circle, and the Student Ambassador Programme. I was honoured to be a student ambassador, an opportunity that not only broadened my social network but also left me with countless cherished memories.

To my fellow schoolmates, I encourage you to fully embrace College life and make the most of the opportunities available. May you create your own unforgettable moments during your time at the College!
