College Life

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.

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. 

Every dream begins with a single step. Believe in your potential and embrace challenges as opportunities to grow. Surround yourself with positivity and stay focused on your goals. Remember, perseverance is key. With hard work and dedication, you can transform your aspirations into reality. Keep striving and never give up!

Studying at HPSHCC was a rewarding journey. This experience broadened my knowledge and equipped me with practical skills, laying a solid foundation for my future career. I am deeply grateful for the dedicated teaching of my lecturers, whose guidance and inspiration ignited my passion for the subject.

Throughout this journey, I persevered with unwavering determination, never shying away from challenges. Before examinations and quizzes, I adopted a multifaceted approach to revision, which led to significant improvements in my grades. This progress is not only a testament to my hard work but also a source of motivation to continue striving for excellence. Moving forward, I will carry these invaluable experiences with me, embracing new challenges with gratitude and confidence.

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.

My experience at the Higher Diploma in Applied Health and Rehabilitation Care has emphasised the vital role nurses play in providing compassionate, patient-centred care while utilising a broad range of skills to support recovery. The programme has strengthened my foundation through both theoretical knowledge and practical application. For instance, studying anatomy and physiology deepened my understanding of how the structure and function of the human body underpin nursing practice. Additionally, the psychology course enhanced my ability to address the psychological needs of patients with impairments or disabilities, helping me grasp the complex connection between physical and mental health. Furthermore, clinical placements provided by the programme have solidified my passion for nursing, demonstrating the importance of combining medical expertise with empathy, communication, and holistic care. These experiences have inspired my dedication to becoming a skilled and compassionate nurse, committed to positively impacting the physical and mental well-being of my patients.

During these two years of my Higher Diploma studies, I have come to realise one of the most important lessons: Never lose sight of your dreams, your passion for learning, and the friends, lecturers, and staff from the Student Development Resource Centre who have constantly encouraged and uplifted me throughout this journey.

One of the moments that left the deepest impression on me was when the programme coordinator asked, “Why are you interested in nursing?” This question reminded me of my initial aspiration and reinforced my determination to stay true to my goals. With the guidance and support of those around me, I have been able to hold on to my passion and persist in pursuing my dream of becoming a nurse, with the hope of helping more people in the future.

During my two-year study for the Higher Diploma in Medical and Health Products Management at HPSHCC, the experience was enriching and unforgettable. I acquired foundational knowledge essential for medical professionals, including human physiology, pathology, and microbiology, which has laid a solid foundation for my future studies. With persistence and effort, I successfully gained admission to my dream university degree programme.

I am especially grateful to my lecturers, who were not only teachers but also friends. They often stayed after class to discuss learning and academic planning, inspiring me greatly.

To my juniors, I would like to say: Stay curious and have the courage to try. The learning journey will inevitably bring pressure, but every breakthrough shapes a stronger version of you. Keep it up!
