Distribution of Desserts to Residents
The Sixth Executive Committee, Cornucopia, distributed their home-made desserts, Grass Jelly with Taro Balls, to College residents on the evening of 3 May 2021. To avoid mass gathering, the desserts were delivered to each resident's room by the Committee members. The residents were able to enjoy a ‘sweet’ escape from gruelling preparations for their final exams.

Student Honour Code Committee
|
As one of the distinctive features of our College, the Student Honour Code guides our students to be aware of their actions, and to learn to take responsibility for what they do in the College community. The Student Honour Code Committee (SHCC) is elected to manage the Honour Code and to deal with any behaviour that is inconsistent with it, promoting the spirit of self-governance, honesty, mutual respect and support within the College community.
