College Life

“Although it has only been a year at the College, what I gained is so invaluable throughout my life. To be frank, at the outset I saw the College as a shelter when my application to university turned me off. I was completely wrong as the College did offer me a hope as well as a second chance to further my studies in university.

I enjoyed my school life very much as I made lots of friends here who came from all walks of life. I learnt a good deal of things from lecturers too who all had strong enthusiasm on teaching. Besides, the College has been offering students with different summer internship programmes so that they can put learning into practice. I am fortunate to fulfill my dream as a chemical engineer and further my tertiary studies in HKUST now.”  

“The mode of learning at the College is different from that in secondary school, which learning is always put into practice. Apart from the traditional learning sessions, I enjoyed various practical and training classes in the medical and health products laboratory. I felt a lot more relaxed, happy and therefore could spend more time on the extracurricular activities, living my life to the fullest extent. I would describe my experience at the College as fruitful and full of colours. I would never forget the time spent with my classmates and Student Ambassadors, as well as the inspiring and enriching lectures by all the lecturers.

To me, the College was a place full happy memories -- at the Learning Commons, in the small yet cosy library, in classrooms and in front of a wall of corridor lockers outside classrooms. The College had truly led me to countless valuable opportunities, with which I made good use of them for my future career and aspirations.”

高考成績未如理想，不被大學取錄，但仍須面對現實，找尋自己的方向和出路。在家人鼓勵下，Carl入讀書院開辦的醫療及保健產品管理高級文憑課程，令他重拾自信之餘，亦找到自己的興趣和方向。

“After graduating from the Higher Diploma in Medical and Health Products Management programme, I quickly got a job as a dispenser in a medical centre. The knowledge that I have learnt in this programme is extremely useful, which I can fully utilize those dispensing and patient counseling skills in my job now.
In the past 3 years, those sincere and friendly lecturers were what I treasured most. All the lecturers were willing to share their own working experience with us, that we were able to feel their strong passions and devotion to teaching.
Last but not least, I wish all the students of the College a wonderful school life and a bright future.”

大家好，我是Londie，中五畢業於保良局羅氏基金中學。雖然會考成績未如理想，不能繼續升讀預科，但失意於會考並不減我對科學 相關科目的濃厚興趣。在家人和老師的鼓勵下，我便依照自己的興趣，報讀書院的醫療及保健產品管理高級文憑課程。另外，由 於就讀保良局屬下中學並得到校長的推薦，入讀時獲頒「保良局屬校校長推薦計畫」，獲得10,000元入學獎學金，不 但減輕了家人的經濟負擔，同時亦進一步推動我入讀書院。

書院的學習模式比傳統中學靈活，令我很快便適應了新生活、新環 境。另外，書院更會定期舉辦不同的學生活動，而我亦成功獲選為書院的「學生大使」，通過不同的領袖訓練、溝通技巧及團隊合作訓練，再 加上為書院服務而累積的經驗及貢獻，有助提昇自信、人際溝通能力及組織活動技巧，促進個人成長。實際上，透過接待不同到訪書院的嘉 賓，包括中學生、家長、老師、保良局總理及政府官員，過程中學到不少實用技巧，使我變得更開朗及勇於表達自己。

中學時修讀理科的Jacqueline，一直對醫療相關行業深感興趣，特別是藥理學。中七高考後，便決定入讀書院的醫療及保健產品管理高級文憑課程。
課程由基本化學和解剖生理學等基礎學科開始，良好的課程編排、由淺入深的設計令Jacqueline更容易掌握課程內容，學習時更得心應手；而書院靈活的教學模式，用上大量的角色扮演、專題習作、小組及個人presentation等，有別以往中學時老師「講」、學生「聽」的傳統學習方法，令課程變得更有趣，也讓她對課程內容有更深入的了解；多位來自業界、極具經驗的講師，分享了他們多年工作心得，讓Jacqueline對醫療及保健產品行業有更深入的認識，確立自己的人生方向，向成為藥劑師的目標積極邁進。
