HSMC Badminton Team Visited South China University of Technology

3 June 2017

To promote education through physical activities, SAO-PE Unit organises a wide variety of programmes and activities for students’ development. From 1 to 3 June 2017, 13 student athletes from HSMC Badminton Team joined an exchange tour to South China University of Technology (SCUT) in Guangzhou.

During this trip, a meeting was arranged with professors from the Sports Institute of SCUT, including Professor Liu Ming, Dean of the Institute; Associate Professor Li Wei Guo, Assistant to Dean; and Professor Zhang Jian Gong, General Secretary. They introduced to the students development of the Institute, its academic system and sports culture. A campus tour and a friendly match followed. The friendly match was the highlight of the programme. Our students had learned much from the opponents, including their training culture.

This short trip was very fruitful. The HSMC badminton team has closer bonding. Discipline has been further strengthened. The trip also served as an eye-opening experience for the students, enabling them to learn more about grand and tidy facility, systematic facility management, full utilisation of building design, and also disciplined team management.
