The Gold Award Presentation 2024 was successfully held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre on 9 December. We were honoured to have The Honourable John Lee Ka Chiu, GBM, SBS, PDSM, PMSM, Chief Executive of the HKSAR, to be our Guest of Honour. The event was attended by nearly 300 guests, including Mr. Siu Chak Yee, PDSM, PMSM, Commissioner of Police and Honorary Adviser, Mr. Clarence Leung Wang Ching, BBS, JP, Under Secretary for Home and Youth Affairs, Mr. Andy Kwok Wing Leung, JP, Chairman of Award Council, Mr. Victor Pang Wing Seng, MH, Vice-Chairman of Award Council, Award Council Members, and other guests for witnessing the wonderful moments of our awardees.
This year, AYP has achieved a decade-high number of Gold Award recipients, with 75 young people. Two Gold Award recipients shared their stories of achieving the Gold Award during their secondary school years. They encouraged other recipients to set goals and take steps towards finding their own way of life and living the life they desire. We hope that all recipients will make good use of the knowledge they have gained in the future to help more young people!
