Since September 2000, schools in Hong Kong have begun implementing the system of school-based management (SBM), and physical education (PE) has been established as one of the eight Key Learning Areas under the current education reform. Schools are now expending greater efforts on training athletes and deploying greater resources to help student-athletes realise their potential. Jockey Club Ti-I College is a pioneer of SBM in PE and other subjects and has accumulated invaluable experience in nurturing athletes. Many of its graduates have become top athletes in Hong Kong, and budding athletes are being nurtured every year. This paper attempts to briefly describe the uniqueness and special features of Jockey Club Ti-I College and what the school has done to nurture student-athletes under SBM in Hong Kong.

多年以來，香港社會主要透過學校非正規課程來推行性教育。近年，教育當局積極在綜合學科中引入性教育的素材，然而，性教育仍有加強的必要。本文嘗試就教育政策、課程發展、師資培訓等方面提出策略建議，並提出性教育論述必須進步，以回應年青人的需要；期望能突破性教育在香港發展的困境。
For many years sexuality education in Hong Kong has been implemented via the informal school curriculum. Despite the fact that school authorities have advocated integrating elements of sex education into the formal curriculum in recent years, sexuality education in schools still needs to be enhanced in order to be effective. This paper attempts to propose relevant strategies related to education policy, curriculum development and training. It also discusses the importance of improving discourse on sex education in Hong Kong in order to be able to respond to the needs of young people, and hence to move out of the current predicament.

學校透過體育課培養同學對運動的興趣，同時組織多元化的運動課外活動，並建立體育運動的文化，使體育活動在校內得以普及，令同學養成運動的習慣。由於學校及家長皆重視學生的學業成績，故在校內推動體育運動有一定困難；然而，如學校能令同學透過參與體育運動改善品德及學會分配時間，同時又不受影響學業成績的話，家長亦樂意讓子女多參與體育活動。

With the growing complexity of social problems, there is a shift of emphasis from competence-based approaches to a reflective practice paradigm in social work education. Reflexivity is the foundation of reflective practice of professional social workers. This article examines the development of a course to promote reflexivity among first-year social work students in Hong Kong. This included structured experiential learning in the classroom and at a campsite, and student-directed social problem analyses and presentations. Small-group teaching was used to increase student-teacher interaction. Thirty-four students participated in a three-time point study with measurements taken at pre-course, post-course and nine-month follow up. There were statistically significant increases in mean total scores on a standardised scale measuring 'engagement in reflection', 'need for reflection', 'insights', and a decrease in 'personal distress'. The results are in line with course objectives. Future directions in strengthening the course design and evaluation are proposed.
