Since the establishment of Moon Chun Memorial College, the College logo has used three types of animals to spread the educational values of truth, goodness, and beauty. Using the unicorn as the symbol of purity, Dom Pedro V House collaborated with the Artist in Residence, Ms. Ines Chan, in hosting the Unicorn Recycling and Creation activity to enable students to have a deeper understanding of the college motto through artwork creation.

The activity is divided into two parts: recycling and creation. From September 4 to October 8, 2023, the duration was dedicated to recycling plastic bottles. During this period, participating students had to collect at least five plastic bottles and clean them before putting them into the designated collection point. A total of 321 plastic bottles were collected during the said period, laying a good foundation for the event.

On October 11 and 18, 2023, the unicorn creation workshop was successfully held, with the assistance from Artist in Residence, Ms Ines Chan. In this workshop, students used their imagination and creativity to transform ordinary plastic bottles into charming unicorn shapes. Through cutting, painting, and gluing techniques, they transformed the plastic bottles into the head and body of the unicorn and added colorful details to the model.

Students carefully made prototypes of unicorns

The workshop offered students a chance to merge their creativity with the culture of MCMC and cultivate their sense of civic responsibility. Through active participation, students developed a deeper understanding of the College’s educational values and fostered a stronger sense of belonging. MCMC fosters an environment that encourages creative exploration, environmental awareness, and the creation of a lively and innovative community.
