Launch of SCI Prevention Education Programme
A team of professionals and educators were
invited by the HKSCIFund to form a working
group in 2017 to compile a teaching kit on prevention of spinal cord
injury. It is intended to provide
assistance to primary school physical education teachers and sports coaches for
implementation on Primary 5 and Primary 6 students by lifting preventive
awareness of spinal cord injury among school teachers and students so as to
achieve reducing the number of cases of spinal cord and other sports related
injuries.
The production of the SCI
Education Prevention Kit was completed and printed in May 2018. A briefing assembly was held on 5th July 2018
at St. Patrick's School in which introduction on the use of the SCI Education
Prevention Kit was given by invited speakers and a number of athletes with
spinal cord injury shared with the audience their own personal experiences. The
event was actively attended by delegates from over 50 primary schools in Hong
Kong. Direct links to videos shown
during the school lessons were provided in the SCI Education Prevention Kit
which provides useful and live teaching materials.
