On the afternoon of 31 August 2026, the entire faculty of Po Leung Kuk Mr. & Mrs. Chan Pak Keung Tsing Yi School participated in an engaging, school-based professional development workshop entitled “Building a Positive School Environment and a Collaborative Team Culture.” The workshop was facilitated by Dr. Lu Jiafang, with valuable input from her EdD student Mr. Chan Wang Tat and onsite support from Ms Yesenia Yan.

Throughout the workshop, participants engaged in self-assessments, online polling, a documentary video case, reflective activities, and small-group discussions. Colleagues explored practical strategies for crafting their work through task crafting, relationship crafting, and cognitive crafting, while reflecting on how small changes can lead to greater professional fulfilment, stronger teamwork, and a more positive school culture. The session fostered renewed enthusiasm, a stronger sense of collective purpose, and confidence in creating positive changes for themselves, their colleagues, and their students.

To consolidate learning beyond the workshop, all participants will embark on a one-month Job Crafting exercise. Through small, intentional workplace practices and weekly online reflections, staff members will apply the ideas discussed during the training to their daily routines. The initiative is designed to translate insights into lasting improvements in individual practice and collective school development.
