Fun - Play - Connect
On 5 March 2025, the Centre of Development and Resources for Students (CEDARS), the Centre for Sports and Exercise (CSE), and University Health Service (UHS) at HKU came together to host the second Staff-Student Sports & Wellness Gala. The primary goals of the event were to enhance physical and mental well-being, encourage inclusivity, and build a stronger sense of community among staff and students across different faculties.
In the lead-up to the gala, a Pre-Gala Wellness Webinar for Staff was held, providing valuable insights and tips to help participants make the most of the event. This webinar set the stage for a successful day.
The event day was packed with a variety of free activities that catered to everyone. Fitness challenges and sports games were a hit, offering a fun way for participants to test their limits and enjoy some friendly competition. The interactive booths were another major attraction, providing quick health checks and valuable health advice on topics such as mental well-being, exercise support, and handcrafted activities.
Our interactive booths, supported by our sports and wellness sponsors, were a treasure trove of information and resources. Attendees had the chance to receive quick health check-ups, learn about mental health support, and get personalized advice on improving their overall well-being. The booths were buzzing with energy as participants engaged with the experts and took home valuable insights. The LKS Faculty of Medicine also participated with their own event booth, bringing the gala to the medical campus.
Live music and dance performances added a festive atmosphere to the gala, while delicious snacks kept everyone energized throughout the day. The holistic yoga sessions were a crowd favourite, offering a peaceful retreat where participants could unwind and rejuvenate. These sessions were designed to cater to all skill levels, ensuring everyone could benefit from the practice.
The Sports & Wellness Gala was a resounding success, leaving attendees inspired and motivated to continue their wellness journeys. The event was a perfect blend of fun, fitness, and community spirit, making it a day to remember for everyone involved.
