Presentation by the Champion Team on the stage
For the Junior Section, six S3 students were awarded for their statistical poster which investigated the population challenges in Hong Kong. With their outstanding performance, SPKC has successfully defended the championship and won the First Prize (Junior Section) for three consecutive years. For the Senior Section, two groups of students were awarded for their 24-page statistical reports about the demographic new normal and education system respectively. Since the core members of the two senior teams come from our Champion teams last year, they have shown enduring perseverance to make further achievements this year.

Apart from the trophies, our school name will be carved onto the “Memorable Shield for Champion School” which will be kept in our campus for one more year. It is a great honor and recognition to Pooikeinians who have made continuous engagement in this inter-school competition. In particular, our students have made extraordinary efforts to overcome the challenges of social distancing during the suspension period of face-to-face lessons due to the pandemic outbreak. All the team members have collaborated closely to complete their sophisticated statistical researches by using instant messaging technology and web conference meeting
