Honours Academy Student Leaders Bring the HSUHK Spirit to the President’s Reception for Parents

On 24 October 2026, HSUHK welcomed parents to the President’s Reception for Parents under the theme “Together, We Shape the Future”. The Reception was designed to engage parents directly, share how the University supports students’ learning and development, and reassure families that their children are truly in good hands at HSUHK.

Honours Academy (HA) was proud to be part of this afternoon. In a dialogue with Professor Joshua Mok, President of HSUHK, HA students, Abi Wong from HA’s 4th cohort, and Charmaine Leung from HA’s 5th cohort shared reflections grounded in lived experience. Abi spoke about the qualities that shape employability, and how students can start building strong foundations from Year 1, step by step. She also shared how internships and overseas exchange become meaningful when students learn to connect each experience with long-term direction and lifelong learning.

Charmaine highlighted student-led community impact, reflecting on what “meaningful impact” really means and how service and social innovation projects can be made more sustainable through commitment, continuity, and teamwork. Together, their sharing reminded everyone that student growth is never accidental. It is built through trying, learning, and repeatedly choosing to step beyond one’s comfort zone.

We sincerely thank the University for creating a space where parents and students could meet with openness and trust. We also thank Abi and Charmaine for representing HA and HSUHK as all-rounded HA leaders!

Looking ahead, we look forward to seeing more HA student leaders stepping up, supporting one another, and carrying the HSUHK spirit forward, together.
