Aside from being the keynote speaker at the 12th GEIA International Conference held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where I presented the development of aviation education in Hong Kong secondary schools, I was fortunate to have Thomas Lok (S5) and Elena Lau (S3) participate in the sharing session on stage. They spoke in front of more than a hundred aviation experts, including Air Force pilots, army personnel, doctoral degree holders in linguistics, and air traffic management professionals.
They performed exceptionally well, responding promptly to questions in English during the Q&A session about our school's rationale for implementing the AEROSTEM curriculum and their experiences in flight training. I observed their confident and composed demeanor in this authentic situation, and they presented themselves quite professionally. They truly became the stars of the conference, and I am proud of them.
At CYMCASS, we have successfully reached out beyond Asia to engage with the world. We are honored to be the first group of secondary school speakers from Hong Kong invited to speak at the conference for professionals in the aviation industry. My compliments to them are sincere, and I know that many professionals at the conference share this sentiment as well.
