We were honoured to have Ying Wa alumna and elected legislative councilor, the Hon. Choy So Yuk (蔡素玉), as our tour guide for the day. The first stop was the grand LegCo Chamber. With her wealth of experience as a Legislative Councillor, Ms Choy gave us a very comprehensive introduction of the history of the building, composition of the LegCo, functions & powers of the LegCo. Moreover she shared with us some of the anecdotes of the LegCo meetings! Mentors and mentees were all eager to ask questions
and Ms Choy answered them all.
Before we left the chamber, each of us was given an information pack on LegCo. |

venues of the building, including the Ante-Chamber, Conference Room, Press
Conference Room, Press Room and even the top floor where we could take a
close view of the building dome and the famous Statue of Blind Justice. Tips from Ms Choy

 To
provide a further opportunity for mentors and mentees to share and to get to
know each other, the visit was followed by a dim sum lunch at the King of
the King Restaurant nearby. We were also extremely delighted that, despite
their busy schedules, both Ms Choy and Mrs Ruth Lee, our school principal,
were able to join our lunch party. |
