SCHEME overview

InspiringHK Sports Foundation cordially invites all schools to participate in the “Better Youth Through Sports Award” School Recognition Scheme 2026–27. This scheme aims to build a cross-school exchange platform, encouraging schools to share their valuable experiences and outcomes in promoting “MVPA60”. Together, we aim to guide students toward establishing a healthy lifestyle while elevating the status of physical education within the school environment.
 
Following the enthusiastic response and notable success at the primary school level during the 2024-25 scheme, this year’s edition will place a stronger focus on the secondary school stage, as research shows that MVPA60 achievement among secondary students is even more critical and requires concerted effort from all school stakeholders.
 
Through three core mechanisms: recognition, sharing, and promotion, this scheme helps schools showcase effective strategies for driving MVPA60, fosters a positive and healthy campus culture, and encourages more schools to adopt successful models to continuously enhance students’ physical fitness and holistic development.


ELIGIBILITY

Schools that actively promote the following initiatives during the 2025-26 to 2026-27 academic years (01 September 2025 to 30 June 2027) are eligible to apply (onging and newly launched activities for the current academic year can also be included):

The SportsHour School Better Youths Through Sports Award 2024-25 initiative aims to recognise primary schools that encourage students to accumulate at least an average of 60 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous-intensity daily physical activity (MVPA60) through creative approaches, increasing the overall physical activity levels of students in Hong Kong and help students develop lifelong healthy habits.

A total of 47 primary schools submitted creative, impactful initiatives aimed at increasing student activity levels. Schools competed for the prestigious “Outstanding School Award”, along with three special awards: “Best Use of Technology Award”, “Teaching Staff Participation Award”, and the “Parent-School Collaboration Award”. All entries were assessed on creativity, inclusiveness, and sustained impact, demonstrating how school-led efforts can shape healthy habits among children.
