The upcoming event aims to foster home-school co-operation to create an atmosphere that

favours fruit consumption in schools and in the community Schools may organize campus fruit parties on 30 April 2009 or on any day the schools find suitable Schools may also encourage students to be creative with fruits and to express their kindness and concern for other peoplersquos health Two award schemes will be set up for voluntary participation Details can be found in the event brief attached to this letter

In order that programme materials can reach you in time you are urged to enroll before 5pm

on 30 January 2009 Primary and secondary schools may enroll online at httpschooleatsmartgovhk while pre-primary institutions may enroll by fax return to 3540 4153 Schools choosing to enroll after the deadline will need to collect programme materials in person on a first come first served basis For technical support related to online enrollment and uploading of information please contact the HKEdCity at 26241000 or email to supporthkedcitynet Other enquiries can be directed to the Fruit Day Secretariat at 2835 1938 or our designated staff for SNAP schools

3 Nov 2008 Dear School Head

Joyful Fruit Day 2009 Fruit Day Every Day share the gift today

The benefits of fruit intake for protection against chronic illnesses such as heart diseases

stroke diabetes and certain kinds of cancer cannot be emphasized more Yet local studies revealed that just over half of primary students have the habit of eating fruits twice or more daily

In this light the Department of Health has been organising the annual Fruit Day event in

collaboration with intersectoral partners under the umbrella of EatSmartschoolhk campaign since 2007 to call for mass action Together we set a record for 907 pre-primary institutions primary and secondary schools taking part in the Fruit Day 2008 The same event will be held in 2009 to mobilize wider support for healthy eating

The upcoming event aims to foster home-school co-operation to create an atmosphere that

favours fruit consumption in schools and in the community Schools may organize campus fruit parties on 30 April 2009 or on any day the schools find suitable Schools may also encourage students to be creative with fruits and to express their kindness and concern for other peoplersquos health Two award schemes will be set up for voluntary participation Details can be found in the event brief attached to this letter

In order that programme materials can reach you in time you are urged to enroll before 5pm

favours fruit consumption in schools and in the community Schools may organize campus fruit parties on 30 April 2009 or on any day the schools find suitable Schools may also encourage students to be creative with fruits and to express their kindness and concern for other peoplersquos health Two award schemes will be set up for voluntary participation Details can be found in the event brief attached to this letter

In order that programme materials can reach you in time you are urged to enroll before 5pm

on 30 January 2009 Primary and secondary schools may enroll online at httpschooleatsmartgovhk while pre-primary institutions may enroll by fax return to 3540 4153 Schools choosing to enroll after the deadline will need to collect programme materials in person on a first come first served basis For technical support related to online enrollment and uploading of information please contact the HKEdCity at 26241000 or email to supporthkedcitynet Other enquiries can be directed to the Fruit Day Secretariat at 2835 1938 or our designated staff for SNAP schools

favours fruit consumption in schools and in the community Schools may organize campus fruit parties on 30 April 2009 or on any day the schools find suitable Schools may also encourage students to be creative with fruits and to express their kindness and concern for other peoplersquos health Two award schemes will be set up for voluntary participation Details can be found in the event brief attached to this letter

favours fruit consumption in schools and in the community Schools may organize campus fruit parties on 30 April 2009 or on any day the schools find suitable Schools may also encourage students to be creative with fruits and to express their kindness and concern for other peoplersquos health Two award schemes will be set up for voluntary participation Details can be found in the event brief attached to this letter

The benefits of fruit intake for protection against chronic illnesses such as heart diseases

stroke diabetes and certain kinds of cancer cannot be emphasized more Yet local studies revealed that just over half of primary students have the habit of eating fruits twice or more daily

In this light the Department of Health has been organising the annual Fruit Day event in

collaboration with intersectoral partners under the umbrella of EatSmartschoolhk campaign since 2007 to call for mass action Together we set a record for 907 pre-primary institutions primary and secondary schools taking part in the Fruit Day 2008 The same event will be held in 2009 to mobilize wider support for healthy eating

The upcoming event aims to foster home-school co-operation to create an atmosphere that

favours fruit consumption in schools and in the community Schools may organize campus fruit parties on 30 April 2009 or on any day the schools find suitable Schools may also encourage students to be creative with fruits and to express their kindness and concern for other peoplersquos health Two award schemes will be set up for voluntary participation Details can be found in the event brief attached to this letter

In order that programme materials can reach you in time you are urged to enroll before 5pm

on 30 January 2009 Primary and secondary schools may enroll online at httpschooleatsmartgovhk while pre-primary institutions may enroll by fax return to 3540 4153 Schools choosing to enroll after the deadline will need to collect programme materials in person on a first come first served basis For technical support related to online enrollment and uploading of information please contact the HKEdCity at 26241000 or email to supporthkedcitynet Other enquiries can be directed to the Fruit Day Secretariat at 2835 1938 or our designated staff for SNAP schools

I look forward to a positive experience working with you to promote our childrenrsquos health

the team Help from other team members would result in disqualification for that particular

event

6 In an individual event the four parts are interrelated When solving part 2 one has to make

use of the answer obtained in part 1 and so on

7 In a group event the four parts are to be done by the whole team and the parts may or may not

be interrelated Discussions are allowed provided that voice level is kept to a minimum

8 Use of calculating devices will not be allowed otherwise the team will risk disqualification or

deduction of marks

9 Participants having pagers or mobile phones should turn them off (including the alarm

function) and put them inside their bags or under their chairs Failing to do so the team will

not be allowed to participate
