Developing children’s mind and body through music and sports is akin to planting a tree—it takes sustained investment of time and effort to lay a solid foundation for gradual growth. In moments of stress, we often find that a melody or a burst of movement can act like a timely rain, soothing our spirits and bringing moments of peace and strength.

Tai Po Baptist Public School, located right next to Wang Fuk Court, saw its staff and students facing challenge concerning their learning environment and emotional needs. The school and relevant parties coordinated diligently to arrange for classes to resume at alternative premises, while actively supporting students’ emotional well-being. The school also made special home visits to care for affected families. It was no easy task to handle both practical and emotional needs.
