History
The Geological Society of Hong Kong (GSHK) was established by a group of local geologists in 1982 with an aim to advance geological sciences in Hong Kong and to provide a platform for both professionals and amateurs to meet. Since then, GSHK holds regularly geological conferences and seminars, and organises local and overseas field trips for both members and non-members to explore the geological world. At present, the society maintains a steady membership of about 250, including professional geologists from the public and private sectors, academia, as well as teachers, students and amateurs.
Visions and Missions
GSHK is a non-profit making organisation that aims to enhance geological interests and studies in Hong Kong. We believe that geological knowledge is indispensable for achieving a sustainable community, and therefore ought to be widely promoted to the general public.
For over 25 years FOCUS has been a trusted resource for Hong Kong parents, educators and medical professionals seeking to learn how to better support the academic and social lives of children with mainstream learning differences. FOCUS aims to improve educational and life outcomes of children with AD/HD and SpLD by expanding understanding and raising awareness of what it means to have a mind that learns differently
Our mission is is to improve the education of mainstream students who are challenged by Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLD) and Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD) by providing accurate evidence-based information, practical strategies and support to parents and professionals in education and healthcare and by improving understanding of how learning differences impact youth both emotionally and academically.
