Participants enjoyed a festive gathering with turkey, pies and a quiz game. Students also wrote encouraging notes to uplift each other for the upcoming final exam during the dinner.
III. Join Us for Asian Soup Night
This event provided CWC students with the warmth of family through healthy, nutritious soup, aiming to inspire students to adopt healthier eating habits in College. The students not only learned how to select fresh ingredients and basic soup-making techniques, but also had the opportunity to make new friends by sharing their experiences with soup tasting and discussing the diverse ingredients used in soups from around the world, thus creating a meaningful and nourishing communal experience.
The College invited all CWC students to submit proposals for student activities and form interest clubs to enhance the College community and create memorable experiences. 'Join Us for Asian Soup Night', submitted by two CWC students, LO Man Hei (Year 1, Medicine) and PANG Tsz Tung (Year 2, Medicine), has been approved and subsidised by the College Life Committee.
