Tuen Mun JPC club members out in full force to help clean up Sha Chau Beach

JPC clubbers happy to clean up Sha Chau Beach
THIRTY-FIVE degree weather did not dampen the zeal of 400 Junior Police Call members from 11 primary and secondary school JPC clubs who set sail in five vessels from Marina Garden Pier in Tuen Mun to clean up rubbish and debris strewn along the shoreline of Sha Chau Coastal Park on 23 July.

Along the way the students were overjoyed when they got the rare opportunity to spot some slightly pink China White Dolphins.

When they arrived at Sha Chau Coastal Park, they visited the newly built Tin Hau Temple overlooking the sea, before being assigned areas on the beach to be cleaned and cleared of debris. Best cleaner-uppers were the JPC club kids from STFA Wu Siu Kui Memorial Primary School, followed closely by the students of Toi Shan Association Primary School and Madam Lau Kam Lung Secondary School.

An environmentally themed painting competition ensued with the young painters finishing their masterpieces under the blazing sun. Best junior level work of art was won by Ho Wan-hing from STFA Wu Shiu Kui Memorial School, with Kwok Sin-yee from CCC Mong Wong Far Yok Memorial Primary School and Ho Chun-him from STFA Wu Shiu Kui Memorial School coming second and third.

The best painting in the higher level competition went to Mak Wai-ching from Tuen Mun Government Secondary School, followed by the works of Lau Tsz-wai from Ka Chi Secondary School and Cheung Chui-yee from Madam Lau Kam Lung Secondary School.

All and all a good day for the young JPC clubbers - and the environment.
