After a restful summer holiday, the English department kicked off the school year with the Mooncake Drive activity as we approached the Mid-Autumn Festival. The Festival is not only a time for family reunions and mooncake indulgence, but it is also an opportunity to extend our care and support to those in need. In the Mooncake Drive activity, our S4 students took charge of organising the mooncake donation campaign for the organisation — FeedingHK, an organisation dedicated to reducing food waste and feeding the underprivileged members of our community.
To promote the mooncake donation activity, the S4 students designed infographics and did presentations in classrooms to raise awareness for the grave issue of food wastage. Students also set up dedicated collection points around the school premises to receive mooncake donations, encouraging everyone to contribute by donating excess mooncakes. Students, parents, and staff came together to contribute generously.
“In form four, we participated in an activity called the ‘mooncake drive’. To promote this activity, we had to present in front of different forms about this project, hoping to motivate the students to donate their mooncakes! “Little things matter”, by engaging in this together, we can make a huge impact on the reduction of food waste.
Even though I felt a bit nervous when doing the presentation, I’m glad that I had the chance to partake in this event. I was happy with how our presentation turned out to be. I even gained more awareness for social issues on food waste and climate change during and after the project.”

“Through the mooncake drive project, I have learnt about how serious the issue of food wastage is in the world and how we can help the world with some easy actions. I’ve also learned how to make infographics and organise different data, which I can also use in the future for other subjects if needed. Stating the information and adding different images to the poster is so fun! I was very nervous about the presentation because it was my first time presenting it in front of other schoolmates, but this was such a fun learning experience.”
