In 2018 we proudly raised HK$566,328.89 for HKRUCF Tackling English Programme. The Programme which is now in its third year was created by the HKRU and the British Council to develop a programme for local secondary schools to improve English language through sport.

​

The Education Bureau stresses the importance of building English language competence and confidence amongst local students, and there is a recognition that education is the most effective way for youngsters from disadvantaged backgrounds to realise their potential, bridge the wealth gap, and escape the cycle of poverty.

​

Using native English coaches with local youngsters has proved to stimulate and encourage them to learn and use  English to communicate. 

​

The “Tackling English” course consists of 4 sessions at Form 1 and 2 across 15 local secondary schools. Each class consists of maximum 30 students and 2 coaches. Last year almost 1000 students participated.

​

Our goal this year is to increase the number of students.
