Apart from the facilities, our colleagues from the Department of Student Development provide counseling services and organise various activities every year to broaden students’ horizons.

HKCT is an institution that is serious in our vision and mission, so we have high expectations for our students. We often said, "a school is a miniature of society". Therefore, we integrate the societal demands and expectations into our college to cultivate students with proper values ​​and the ability in application. With this personal growth and development, I hope you can make meaningful contributions to the society in the future.

In addition to provide knowledge, HKCT places a great emphasis on shaping students' mentality and values. The learning mode in secondary school and tertiary education is completely different. I hope all students can set yourselves free from preconceived notions and learn to be tolerant, listen humbly, and understand diverse opinions and viewpoints. Furthermore, we encourage students to learn to take responsibility for their words and actions, as this is the way to cultivate the unique Graduate Attributes of HKCT: "Conscientiousness", "Collaboration", "Perseverance", and "Innovation". I invite you to explore the meanings of these attributes on the "Graduate Attributes" webpage.

Autumn is the season of harvest, I hope all of you will have a fulfilling learning journey in HKCT. I also look forward to meeting and chatting with you in the campus. Wishing you all a joyful new academic year!
