HSMC received the school social responsibility award from Mirror Post in recognition of its efforts made in social responsibility. Entering its seventh year, the award programme included a new category – school social responsibility. Recipients were selected based on commitments to education and social development: nurturing talents with moral ethics and a sense of social responsibility, corporate governance and leadership, caring for students and staff members, community services and the promotion of environmental protection.

HSMC emphasises students’ all-round development and delivers its social responsibility in different ways: establishing the Residential College system to provide an integrated living and learning environment; organising voluntary activities to care for the needy with participation by students and teachers; organising a large-scale “HSMC FunD Run for U” charity event recently to promote community engagement and solicit public support; establishing the Institute for Chinese Language and Culture to promote cultural heritage; organising the Symposium on Business Ethics and Culture to feature the essence of traditional business ethics; conducting the Junzi Corporation Survey to select organisations which meet business ethics criteria; receiving the highest final Platinum rating for four of its new buildings from the Hong Kong Green Building Council; using bamboo materials and furniture extensively; and planting different types of bamboo to provide a greener and more sustainable environment.
