Physical Education - Outdoor Education Camp Scheme

The existing Life-wide Learning Grant, Grant for the Sister School Scheme and Outdoor Education Camp Scheme subsidy support schools in organising extended learning activities outside the classroom, so as to provide students with rich and diversified learning experiences to broaden their horizons and share a common goal of fostering their whole-person development.  For more effective use of public resources, starting from the 2025/26 school year, the EDB will consolidate the aforementioned grants and subsidy into the Life-wide Learning and Sister School Grant (LWLSSG), with a view to improving flexibility, utilisation and synergy.  Schools would be able to deploy the LWLSSG more flexibly to organise student learning activities outside the classroom (including Mainland educational exchange activities, local and non-local study tours, and outdoor education camps) and arrange sister school exchange activities to enrich students’ learning experiences, help them develop lifelong learning capabilities and achieve the aim of whole-person development.  For details, please refer to Education Bureau Circular No. 9/2025.
