Hong Kong Green School Award

Introduction of the programme

The Hong Kong Green School Award is organised by the Environmental Campaign Committee, Environmental Protection Department and Education Bureau since 2000. The Education University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong Productivity Council and Vocational Training Council are the co-organisers.

The objectives of this Scheme are to encourage schools to formulate a school environmental policy and environmental management plan towards a green school; enhance environmental awareness, develop environmentally friendly attitude and promote green practices among school managers, teachers, non-teaching staff, students and their parents.

From 2006 onwards, Hong Kong Green Pre-school Award has been incorporated into Hong Kong Green School Award which now comprises the Pre-school, Primary School and Secondary School Categories. The award scheme comprises environmental training workshops, competition and adjudication.

Logo of Hong Kong Green School Award

The logo of the Hong Kong Green School Award was designed by the renowned architect, Dr. Ho Tao. The heart-shaped leaf of the Bauhinia Blakeana symbolizes students' love for the environment. The veins on the leaf imply the importance of good networking in the learning process. Its alias "wisdom leaf" signifies the wisdom of Hong Kong students.
