G.T. College always upholds its education philosophy–“joyful and balanced development.” Other than promoting literary reading and honed writing skills, the school has been concentrating on the development of school sports.
The Secondary Section of G.T. (Ellen Yeung) College successfully set the Guinness World Record for the largest nunchaku session with the most participants–507 teachers and students. On that day, all participants attended the nunchaku master Mr. Jerry Lau’s lesson, including Dr. Raymond Tam, chairman of the GEC.
The innovation originated two years ago from the nunchaku class of Sports Friday which was popularly welcomed by students in G.T. College. The nunchaku is a fighting weapon in the impression of ordinary people.But from the perspective of martial arts movements, it exercises the left and the right sides of the brain, hand and eye coordination, and keen reaction.
Principal Tam and two P.E. teachers (Dr. Salson To and Mr. Richard Yiu) discussed the promotion of traditional martial arts to Physical Education. The students performed well and G.T. College finally applied for Guinness, making the world record of the largest nunchaku class in 2016.
