Mr. Carl Wong, Chairman of Exhibition Group, stated: "Extracurricular activities are vital for promoting students' holistic development, especially against the backdrop of growing concerns about youth mental health in today's society. Through physical and arts education and diverse extracurricular activities, we can not only improve students' physical fitness but also cultivate creative thinking and relieve academic pressure, helping build positive and healthy attitudes toward life. The government recently launched '4Rs Mental Health Charter' also emphasizes the importance of 'Relaxation,' encouraging students to exercise more to develop regular physical activity habits. This year's ECA Expo is dedicated to providing diverse and comprehensive extracurricular activity options for students aged 3 to 11, cultivating their curiosity, creativity, and logical thinking through various educational programs and experiential activities." He further noted that extracurricular activities not only provide experiential opportunities for students but also help schools effectively utilize resources such as the "Student Activities Support Grant" and "Life-wide Learning Grant," enabling students from different socioeconomic backgrounds to participate in diverse life-wide learning activities.
