Home About us Join us Contact us

The Health & Fitness Club was founded in 2013 by a group of five students.
Today, we have over 150 members, but our core aims remain the same.

We want to educate students about the best ways to stay fit and healthy.
That doesn’t mean suffering as you give up your favourite meals or sweat on a treadmill.
We can show you how health and fitness can be fun! 5.1a

Our third aim is to create opportunities for students to get together and share their health and fitness tips. 5.1b

News update!

•  ongratulations to Liam Wong! Last weekend, he came first in the Inter-school Badminton
C 6.1a
Competition. What a legend!
•  nd the success doesn’t end there! Jessica Lam came second in the Hong Kong Ice Skating
A 6.1b
Championship. Awesome!

Get active!
There are so many ways you can get active. We have lots of classes and events to choose from, so
you’re bound to find something that suits you. Here is just a taster of what you can do:
• Take part in sports competitions 5.2a

• Take part in our regular fitness classes 5.2b

• Come to our social events 5.2c

• Try our relaxation and mindfulness lessons 5.2d

Our club is open to all students, of all levels of fitness. It doesn’t matter if you’re an experienced
athlete or a beginner—we’re here to help!

Tasks 5 & 6
Health & Fitness Club: update on club matters
By John Ng, Secretary

The Health & Fitness Club is currently in a sound financial position, with in excess of $13,500 in
the bank account. A meeting to discuss this year’s budget and how to allocate these funds will
be scheduled in the next month. In the meantime, I would like to share the following highlights
with you:

Healthy Kids Campaign

Our Healthy Kids Campaign was a huge success. Thanks to our cake sale, sponsored walk and
tabletop sale, we raised $4,700. This is much more than our goal of $3,000. Congratulations to all 6.1c
involved. The money will be put to good use: the school plans to use it to purchase new sports 6.1d
equipment.

Club T-shirts

We have been offered an attractive sponsorship by Kelly’s Juice Bar, which some of you may
already know is next door to the school. They have offered to fully pay for our club T-shirts in
exchange for promotional opportunities at our club events. To be discussed.

Membership fees

We had a good year last year, with income from membership fees rising by 10%. For this reason,
I  would like to propose we maintain the annual membership fee at its current level of $50 for 5.5
students for this academic year.

 Results of survey about lunchboxes

Task 7
Survey on students’ lunchboxes
Health & Fitness Club, Priory High School

Last week, we completed our annual monitoring of lunchboxes at our school. With the help of
Dr Kismir, a nutritionist, we analysed the nutritional content of students’ lunches. The results
show that there is much room for improvement.

Fruit Students consumed a decent amount

of fruit, with about two-thirds of
15% lunchboxes containing at least one
22% piece of fruit. However, more than
one-fifth of lunchboxes still contained
no fruit whatsoever.
0 pieces
63%
1 piece
2 pieces

Fibre The amount of fibre in lunchboxes is 7.2a

not sufficient. Seventy per cent of 7.2b
lunchboxes contained less fibre than
30% recommended by nutritional experts.

70% insufficient fibre

sufficient fibre

Protein The average lunchbox amongst 7.3a

25 students contained an excess of
protein: 21.6 g instead of the
20 recommended 13.3 g. This is a result 7.3b
protein in grams

of most lunchboxes containing too

15
much meat, and very few with enough
10 vegetables.

Junk food consumed at lunchtime Unfortunately junk food is still very

8% popular with students. Many students
opted to eat junk food as part or all of
their lunch. The most popular junk

Task 7
MEMO

To: All District Schools

Feedback on School Lunches 7.1a

A recent study into lunchboxes at schools in Hong Kong suggests

Great news!
that parents and students are becoming more health-conscious. In
general, school lunches contained less salt, sugar and fat compared to 7.1b, 7.1c
five years ago. This is surely cause for celebration given the growing
obesity problem. Nevertheless, there is still much that can be done to 7.1d
improve the nutritional content of school lunchboxes, given that half
Yes, so true!
of Hongkongers over the age of 15 are heavier than is considered
healthy.

I would be grateful if you could report back to me on the state of

lunches at your school, so we can continue to improve food for
Hong Kong’s students.

Task 7
To: Sophie Choi Sent: 5 September 2.05 p.m.
From: Kismir A.T.
Subject: Lunchbox nutritional analysis

Hi Sophie,

It was really interesting to take a look at what students in your school are eating and I hope you
found the analysis useful. You asked me whether the results flagged up any health concerns that
your students should be aware of. I suppose there are two things really: If students don’t get enough 7.2c
fibre in their diet, they run the risk of putting on weight and becoming constipated. Neither of
which is pleasant! And in terms of protein, if you don’t get enough in your diet, this can cause
problems with weak and wasting muscles. Too much though, and it can create issues for the liver 7.3c
and kidneys. I think it would be worth making your students aware of this.

Let me know if there’s anything else I can do to help.

Regards,
Dr Kismir

Subject: Things we need to do

Hi Jennifer,

I was wondering if you could help me with some things we need to do for the Health & Fitness
Club. I could do with some help with the following:
Task 8
• 
We’ve received an email from a parent, Mrs Chan, about the amount of food waste produced at
lunchtime. Please write a reply, thanking her for her email and saying that we agree this is an 8.1
important issue. Respond to her points. Mention what the food waste consists of and our
planned project to tackle this problem. Let her know we’ll contact her again about the project 8.4b
once we have more information. Please sign off using my name and title. Don’t forget to refer
to your notes from our meeting and our survey results.
Task 9
• 
Also, please write an article for the school magazine on how to cut food waste in the school.
Please cover three topics:
1. Portion sizes (how much of their canteen lunch students leave, and what we can do
about this)
2. Menu choice (how we could change the menu and the effect this would have)
3. The use of cutlery and chopsticks (what we should do and what this might entail)

I’ll send you a web page from a green charity that will help you with this. Please also look at
your notes from the meeting and our survey results.
Task 10
• 
Finally, I’d like you to write a feature article for our club newsletter about the new canteen at 10.1a
Tai Hang Private School. I’ll send you some information about it and you’ll find some
interesting things they’ve done there. I’ll also send you the contact details of one of their
students, Jessie Ng. Talk to her to find out more. In the article, mention how many students eat
in their canteen and why it is so popular (focus on the decor and food choices, and give some
examples). You should also introduce Jessie Ng and describe how she contributed to the 10.3a
success of the canteen. Don’t forget to add a title and to make it interesting to read!

Thanks so much for your help. Let me know if you have any questions!

Best wishes,
Sophie

Task 9

Green Revolution
for Business

Make your canteen green

It may seem like the problem of caring our planet is just too ‘big’ and overwhelming, and that
there’s nothing you can do to help. But if you work in a business or own a business, there are some
small steps you can take that will make a real difference.

And the best place to start is at home, or in this case, in the workplace. Take a look at your work
pantry or canteen. Do you provide disposable cups, chopsticks and cutlery for your staff? If so, 9.3a
stop now!

That doesn’t mean that people have to go hungry if they forget to bring cutlery with their packed
lunch. For a small outlay, you can provide reusable cutlery for your staff to use. It cuts back on 9.3b
waste and your staff will appreciate the gesture.

And the downside for you? Well, there’s the cost, of course, although this is minimal. And there’s
the issue of cleaning the cutlery so it can be reused. You’ll probably have to buy a dishwasher 9.3c
(depending on how much cutlery you use, this could range from a mini dishwasher to an industrial
dishwasher in a large kitchen). However, this is a one-off expense and shouldn’t dissuade you.

Once you start talking small steps like these, you’ll realize there are hundreds of tiny ways that we
can change our working lives to be greener and more respectful of the planet.

Task 10
Tai Hang Private School
Rejuvenation Cafe 10.1b

Come and feel rejuvenated!

Rejuvenation Cafe at Tai Hang Private School is the first of its kind in Hong Kong: designed by
students for students!

Our old school canteen became run-down and old-fashioned, serving food that no one enjoyed.
Unsurprisingly, students stopped using it. Instead, they flocked to nearby fast-food restaurants at
lunchtime. Loading up on unhealthy food in the middle of the day left them feeling lethargic and
sluggish in the afternoon, which was when the idea of the Rejuvenation Cafe was born!

Instead of being a dark and gloomy place where no one wants to be, the cafe is now the centre of
social life at our school. It is incredibly popular with students of all ages, and with teachers (and
sometimes parents!) too. In fact, the cafe serves over 600 students every day. This represents more 10.1c
than 95% of students at our school. Come for a visit any lunchtime and you’ll see just how
popular it is!

The cafe can be booked for private events at weekends, in the evenings and during school
holidays. Maximum capacity: 400 people.

If you have any questions about the Rejuvenation Cafe, please email [email protected].

Venue: Conference Room 205

Chairperson: Dr Siu
In attendance: Mrs Fong, Jessie Ng, Mr Richardson
Secretary: Mrs Lau

1. Opening date
The opening date of 15 June was agreed in principle. Dr Siu highlighted the need to organize
interviews for the position of head chef. Mrs Fong will arrange for advertisements to be
placed online and with recruitment agencies. A maximum of ten candidates will be
interviewed.

2. Name
Three names were suggested: Healthy Kicks, Veggie Power and Rejuvenation Cafe. The vote 10.1b
was unanimous in favour of Rejuvenation Cafe.

3. Design
The interior of the old canteen will be stripped out entirely. It was agreed that the new design
should be very trendy to appeal to students, even echoing the design of a boutique hotel. 10.2a
Dr  Siu showed some mood boards of a space filled with cool lighting and stripped wooden
floors. This design was approved by all present.

4. AOB
Jessie Ng volunteered to set up social media pages for the new cafe. Mrs Fong thanked her for
her contribution.

5. Next meeting
To be held on 20 April at 9.30 a.m. in Conference Room 208.

Jennifer: Hi, Jessie! Thanks so much for agreeing to talk to me about your school’s new cafe. I’ve
been reading all about it and it sounds amazing!

Jessie: Thanks! We think it’s pretty amazing too!

Jennifer: I hope I can come and visit it one day.

Jessie: You’d be very welcome!

Jennifer: So, why did your school decide to undertake this project to completely transform your
school canteen?

Jessie: Well, the old canteen was pretty tired and the food was uninspiring, to say the least. It
really served just junk food: chips, fried chicken, that kind of food. And it wasn’t even
good junk food! I don’t know if you know, but I play a lot of football, so I need a lot of
fuel. I need healthy food that will fuel my body and mind.

Jennifer: I see. So how did you go about drawing up a menu?

Jessie: My teacher put me in touch with a nutritionist. That was really fascinating. Together, we 10.3c
came up with dishes that I knew students would really enjoy eating, but that would be
healthy too.

Jennifer: Wow, sounds amazing! And did the refurbishment cost a lot of money?

Jessie: Yes, a lot. I felt really passionate about it though, so I didn’t mind putting in a lot of
effort to raise the necessary funds. 10.3b

Jennifer: Jessie, you’re a superwoman! As you know, I’m going to write an article about your cafe
for our club newsletter.

Jessie: Yeah, sounds great.

Jennifer: Would you mind telling me what form you’re in? Just for background information.

Jessie: I’m in Secondary 5. 10.3a

Jennifer: Thank you. Well, I think that’s everything I wanted to ask.

Jessie: You’re welcome. Let me know when you’re free and I’ll show you around the
Rejuvenation Cafe.

Jennifer: I’d love that! Thank you!

Dear Club Representative,

I am writing to you as I believe something needs to be done urgently about the situation with school
lunches.

I came to collect my son, Toby Chan, from school last Thursday lunchtime as he was feeling
unwell. I collected him from the school canteen, just as lunchtime was ending. I have never been to
the school canteen before and was truly shocked by what I saw: plate after plate overflowing with
leftover food, which I assume will just be dumped in a rubbish bin!

It is unacceptable that so much food is being wasted at lunchtime. Is this indicative of what is
happening every day in school? I would be grateful if you could provide some statistics,
specifically:
• How many students eat in the canteen?
• How many students bring a packed lunch?
• Are there any reasons for their choice of lunch?
• How many lunches does the school canteen produce?
• How much waste comes from canteen lunches compared to packed lunches?

If what I saw is indeed a true representation, then something must be done about the amount of food
being wasted. This is no example to set for our young people.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,
Mrs Chan
