The BAFS Team is pleased to announce that Alex Chan Hoi Chi (4G) and Marcus Yau Chun Hei (4G) have achieved excellence in the FedEx Express/JA International Trade Challenge 2021 – Hong Kong Finals held on 28 th January 2021. Their team, Alcus, was one of the three Hong Kong Winning Teams, and they will represent Hong Kong at the Asia Pacific Finals which will be held on 1-3 March 2021 via Zoom.

Alex and Marcus’s winning idea was to create an anti-theft backpack named “Safety MTB (Meant-to-be) Backpack”, targeting pickpocketing and robbery in Cambodia. The second team, named “Float”, composed of Daniel Chun Ka Hong (4C) and Anson Kwok Yee Shun (4G), who also advanced to the Hong Kong finals proposed a water transport kit named “Floatbike”, which is a self-sustainable water transport allowing Cambodians to commute conveniently.

Co-organized by Junior Achievement and FedEx Express, the competition aims to nurture students’ entrepreneurial spirit and business acumen. The scoring criteria for the competition includes the originality of the design and the feasibility of business strategies.

Due to the rescheduling of the competition this year, it was the first time that our Form 4 boys represented the school in this regional competition, as our Form 6 boys focus their energies on preparing for the upcoming HKDSE exams. Both teams demonstrated the willingness to challenge themselves and commitment to teamwork.

Congratulations to the teams for their achievements. The students would like to express their sincere gratitude to their teacher advisor Ms. Helen Law for her guidance throughout the competition. We sincerely wish Alex and Marcus the best of luck in the Asia Pacific finals! 

Congratulations to Yum Wang Ngai (4F) who has been awarded the Ng Teng Fong Scholarship. Wang Ngai has shown his perseverance and achieved very good results in adverse conditions. Sincerely hope that Wang Ngai will continue to strive for the best and his example will encourage us.

Seven boys from Form 3 last year (2019-2020) joined the Green Urban Environment (GRUEN) Project which was held between mid-March and September. GRUEN is a project for secondary school students in Hong Kong, Southeast Asia and Europe that has internationalisation at its heart. The Project is co-funded by the Erasmus+ Jean Monnet Programme of the European Union and organized by the Hong Kong Baptist University in Hong Kong SAR. 

Under GRUEN, students use a specially-designed online Moodle workshop to participate in asynchronous online discussions and share their perspectives, exchange ideas, and develop their concepts for a green urban environment while also familiarizing themselves with key sustainability principles and best practices of the EU under the 7th EAP.
