From Academic Lessons to Personal Growth: Shungtakians’ Unforgettable Disneyland Experience: On 4th July 2024, 20 Shungtakians set off for an educational excursion to Hong Kong Disneyland with Guidance teachers and the school social worker. The trip was organized as part of the Disney Youth Education Series.
The participants had a truly memorable and enriching experience during their time at the theme park. For some of them, this was their first-ever visit to Hong Kong Disneyland, and this alone added to the excitement and sense of adventure for the whole group.
2J Blue Lo, shared his thoughts “This educational trip to Disneyland was unlike anything I had experienced before. Through the Disney Youth Education Series, I gained a deeper understanding of the complex and diverse challenges faced by people across the world.
The most valuable part of the program for me was the group discussions we had with our peers. By engaging in multiple-perspective thinking, I was able to exchange views and ideas with my teammates, which in turn helped us all in the group acquire more knowledge about different cultures and societal issues.”
Blue continued “Personally, this trip was also a significant milestone for me. I had never been to Disneyland with my friends before, let alone going there without family members.
Overcoming some childhood fears in the Mystic Manor attraction and the roller coaster ride, were truly exhilarating experiences that I will cherish for a long time. This is undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and while I would love to visit Disneyland again, I’m not sure if I’ll have the courage to tackle those roller coasters a second time!” The educational and personal growth opportunities provided by this Disneyland excursion have left a lasting impact on the participating students. The combination of academic learning and self-discovery has made this trip a truly transformative experience for our group.
