Today, our group of over twenty students, teachers and alumni on a wonderful journey under the sunny skies, successfully completing our “Zhuhai Social Service Exchange Tour” . We visited the elderly services, engaging in meaningful exchanges with our counterparts in Zhuhai and gaining deep insights into the local conditions. More importantly, we enjoyed a day filled with enriching discussions and joyful interactions. Looking forward to seeing everyone at the next event!

🎓「下山前一夜」 is a great tradition at HKUSWSA. Graduating students walk down from the Peak to our department, reflecting on their university years, and then gather to share pizzas and drinks, discussing their reflections and future aspirations. Special thanks go to 兆文, Debby, and Sing, as well as the strong support from the department staff. We are also thrilled to have alumni join in, making this event a collective experience of reflection, sharing, and encouragement. After graduation, we all become fellow travellers, supporting each other on the path of social work. Let’s keep dreaming and daring as we move forward together. Best wishes to all! 🌟
🎓「下山前一夜」係我地HKU近年的美好傳統。快將畢業的同學，一個一個從山頂慢慢步行回到department，途中回顧過去四年在大學的點點滴滴，再在department處一起Pizza和喝酒，分享剛才的反思，或對未來的擔由。特別感謝兆文、Debby和聲老師，以及department一眾的大力支持。我們也很高興能讓舊生參與其中，讓大家一起經歷、反思、分享、共勉。畢業了，大家就是同行者，在社工路上互相支持，共同前行。祝福大家～ 敢夢敢試 🌟
