SRO Signature Events
1. Wall Painting|
Not unlike the power of language, various mediums of art can also help releasing stress. To liven the walls of the Student Residence, SRO hosted a wall-painting event in which residents colour the walls with designs based on the surrounding landmarks of Hong Kong and the new student hostel. In return for students leaving their legacy on the walls, the SRO also hopes to liven the curious and creative inner child within every resident with every stroke of their brush.

The most amazing thing about nature is its infinite variety, especially the mystery of the ocean. The SRO will provide our student residents with the opportunity to experience the work of an oceanographer and explore the interrelationship between physical and biological parameters to gain a deeper understanding of how the changing marine environment affects sea life in a changing environment. They can enjoy activities such as coral observation on a glass-bottomed boat, plankton collection and observation, and measuring different physical parameters of the atmosphere and seawater by using scientific equipment. As plankton collection and scientific equipment, the hands-on learning opportunities provided by SRO, are very rare to find outside of SRO, and we consider this to be a great opportunity for our participants.

To showcase the sheer amount of talent that resides within Student Residence, busking nights were held as a new initiative for residents to have a platform on stage and perform.

The very first CityU Inter-Hall League of Legends Solo Tournament was launched in September. Each hall had their internal intra-hall competition, furthering their best players and gamers to be up for the inter-hall champion. The final contest was held in the Multimedia Theatre at Run Run Shaw Creative Media Centre. Honorable guests, Professor Raymond Chan and Vice-President (Student Affairs), as well as all Residence Masters arrived on site, giving their most uplifting support for the gamers. The competition was ablaze with tension and excitement, fiercely closing in on Hall 2 as the Champion, Hall 4 as Runner-up, and Hall 9 as Third Place.

It was a pleasure to have the Student Residence Organization provide opportunities for our student residents in both Semesters A and B, who are tired of the hustle and bustle of city life, to walk into nature and encounter dolphins. Students dressed in sportswear gather at Moon Chun Multi-function Hall and leave by coach together. In the morning, they can enjoy a dolphin survey, understand cetacean conversation in Hong Kong and meet dolphins on the yacht with the help of our guest speaker, Dr Brian Kot, Assistant Professor in JCC of the City University of Hong Kong, also the project leader of Aquatic Animal Virtopsy Lab and his team. A traditional Chinese-style lunch is usually served after the morning session, followed by a nearby temple tour or bleach cleaning together after lunch. Towards the end of the day, they would depart from the venue and return to the SR base.
