HSBC Scholars Day 2018

To bring the benefits of its scholarship programmes to more Hong Kong students, HSBC launched the HSBC Vocational Education Scholarship Scheme for students studying in full-time higher diploma and associate programmes.  The Scheme aims to provide support to students in vocational education to realize their goals and ambitions.
 
Mr. Afsar Bilal, year 1 student of Higher Diploma in Sports Coaching and Leadership student, and Ms. Ngai Ka Yu, year 2 student of Higher Diploma in Fitness Training and Management student of LIFE, were awarded the HSBC Vocational Education Scholarship at the HSBC Scholars Day on 15 June 2018.  Apart from academic excellence and good performance in panel interviews, HSBC Scholars must demonstrate a commitment to serving the Hong Kong community.
 
Ka Yu has been awarded the Scholarship in two consecutive years.  She said, “I thought that my motto - Never Give Up When Face Difficulties - impressed the panel members!”  Ka Yu has already obtained the offer from the Chinese University of Hong Kong and will admit to Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science and Health Education after graduation to achieve her dream of being a PE teacher.
 
Bilal, a distance run lover, will practice for about 100 kilometers every week.  He said with a laugh, "I need to buy a pair of new running shoes every month.  I’m glad that the scholarship supports this expenditure."  He encourages DSE students not to lose hope as there is always a chance waiting around the corner.

東方體育會嶺南大學合作培訓教練人才

專業人才求過於供　運動教練及體適能課程出路廣

注入領袖學 運動管理新概念

 

新課程照顧社會所需 2015

學院在開放日當天設有攤位和講座，向參加者介紹課程的內容和特色。學院又邀請了資深傳媒工作者鄭明仁，香港足總技術顧問郭家明，曉光護老服務集團行政總裁陳盛德和保健員蘇家譽，以及香港黃金海岸酒店總經理韓鵬程主持就業專題講座，向有意報讀的高中學生提供最新的市場就業資訊。

郭家明表示，現時香港欠缺培訓運動教練的課程，學院的課程正好補足康體政策和業界的人才需求，「運動教練及領袖學高級 文憑的畢業生可謂不愁出路，無論本港或內地對這類人才的需求都很大，如學校和康體場所也很需要教練指導課餘活動。就連施政報告也宣布委派民政事務局負責體育政策的副秘書長擔任『體育專員』，統籌和協調跨局或跨部門的體育工作，可見機遇處處。」 ​

​此課程理論及實用並重，除了提供個人及團隊運動教練的整全培訓外，還設有不少於200小時的實習機會，裝備其日後在體育活動和管理工作上，發展長遠的事業。
