Dear Students,
As the academic year nears its end and exams and deadlines loom, you might spend long hours at the libraries. While studying is essential, remember to take breaks to recharge!
From April 19th, visit the Tin Ka Ping Education Library (Level 3, Old Wing, Main Library) and check out the ‘Make-a-Wish’ Tree. When you need a break, grab a sticky note, write down your wishes, and add them to the tree. With your wishes, make the Wish Tree grow bigger and share your aspirations with fellow students!
We also provide to-do lists and wish lists onsite to help you stay organized during the busy exam period. Keeping track of tasks can improve your focus and productivity.
Good luck with your studies, and remember to take care of yourself during this hectic time!
Best wishes,
SEN Support
