HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 28 February 2025 - Renaissance College (RCHK) is thrilled to announce that its Learning Technology hub, the Red Door Centre (RDC), and the Library have been recognised for excellence at the prestigious Greater Bay Area (GBA) School Awards.

The school received the Judges' Choice Award in the "EdTech Program K-12" category and was named a finalist in both the "EdTech Program - Primary" and "School Library" categories.

The Judges' Choice Award in the "EdTech Program K-12" category recognises RCHK's innovative approach to modern STEM education. The RDC helps the school to integrate advanced technological programmes that empower students to explore, experiment, and bring their ideas to life.

This approach fosters critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration—essential skills for success in the 21st century.

RCHK's commitment to fostering a love of reading and creative thinking was also recognised with its Library's finalist status in the "School Library" category.
