Press release: http://www.seedland.hk/press/jem/1601_Expansion/PR_JEMS_Expanding_Chi.docJEMS Learning House的品德教育課程向以道德、社會及公民教育概念作為重要的三把鑰匙，讓小小學員從認識自己的身份開始（Identity），逐步學習與人建立良好關係（Relationships）及回饋社會（Community），從而培養一班又一班的「社會傑出小成員」。踏入2016年，學校將由一層擴充至兩層，意味著學校能為更多學生提供品德教育課程。為隆重其事，JEMS Learning House剛於1月10日在新樓層舉行了開幕禮，場面熱鬧。
開幕禮先由JEMS Learning House校長劉馬露明女士致歡迎辭，並由南豐集團行政總裁梁錦松先生發表開幕致辭。其後，一眾主禮嘉賓齊集台上主持開幕儀式。學校別出心裁地邀請到九位嘉賓，各人分別代表一種JEMS Learning House非常重視的品德精神──南豐集團行政總裁梁錦松先生代表「友情」、香港特別行政區食物及衞生局副局長陳肇始教授代表「給予」、胡百全律師事務所首席合夥人鄭慕智博士代表「尊重」、一口田有限公司董事總經理許芷茵小姐代表「獨特」、拔萃女書院校長劉靳麗娟女士代表「團隊精神」、香港大學李嘉誠醫學院院長梁卓偉教授代表「同情心」、香港耀能協會主席梁乃江教授代表「責任心」、港鐵非執行主席馬時亨教授代表「堅持」，以及香港大學醫學院內科學系榮休教授楊紫芝教授代表「同理心」。嘉賓獲邀在自己所代表、印有與其品德有關的圖案的畫布上簽署，而畫布將懸掛於新樓層的正門位置，讓同學和老師時刻把這九種美德銘記心中。儀式其後由「全城更新」創辦人及主席馬王培琪女士領禱後，正式完成。
儀式過後，學校悉心為一眾嘉賓、以及參與盛事的家長和小朋友準備了形形色色的活動、美食和工作坊。為了讓大家進一步認識品德教育的深層意義，學校先後播放兩齣相關短片給家長和來賓觀賞。小朋友除可觀賞動畫和參與攤位遊戲外，更有創意自拍區、DIY工作坊、感恩牆和尋寶遊戲，校舍頓時化身迷你嘉年華，讓大小朋友樂在一片歡笑聲中。
新樓層不單讓JEMS Learning House能為更多學生提供品德課程，更能為家長舉辦講座、工作坊、午餐聚會及與教師的聚會。此外，剛於去年九月成立的JEMS Education Foundation亦可在這裡策劃有關品德教育的活動和課程。
JEMS Learning House創辦人劉馬露明校長表示：「不經不覺學校已成立了七年多了，這些年來，不論我們的小學員、老師以至我自己都在不停學習和成長，直到今天──我們的學校也成長了！擴充象徵著JEMS Learning House正式邁向另一里程碑，我們會繼續努力，亦希望藉此機會感激同學和家長一直以來的支持和鼓勵，給予我和整個教學團隊無限動力和幹勁。期望新的校舍能為更多學生提供品德課程，讓更多人體會到品德教育的美好！」

Press release: http://www.seedland.hk/press/jem/1601_Expansion/PR_JEMS_Expanding_Eng.docFocusing on the three key learning areas of moral, social and civic education, JEMS Learning House visions the upbringing of each student into a Junior Excellent Member of Society, and realizes it with Character Education comprised of developing children’s sense of identity, equipping them with strong social skills to build solid relationships, and promoting them with opportunities to serve the community. At the start of 2016, JEMS has expanded its venue to a second floor, meaning more students can enjoy the Character Education programmes. A lively celebration took place at the new floor on 10th January for the grand opening of the expanded venue.
The opening ceremony began with the welcome remarks by Mrs. Christine Ma-Lau, Founder and Principal of JEMS Learning House, followed by an opening speech by Mr. Antony Leung, CEO of Nan Fung Group. For the kick-off ceremony, each of the nine officiating guests was invited to represent one of the Character Icons advocated by JEMS: “Friendship” for Mr. Antony Leung, CEO of Nan Fung Group; “Giving” for Prof. Sophia Chan, Under Secretary for Food and Health of the Government of the HKSAR; “Respect” for Dr. Moses Cheng, Senior Partner of Messrs. P. C. Woo & Co.; “Uniqueness” for Ms. Helena Hui, Managing Director of Seedland International Limited; “Teamwork” for Mrs. Stella Lau, Headmistress of Diocesan Girls’ School; “Compassion” for Prof. Gabriel Leung, Dean of Li Ka Shing Faculty of Medicine of the University of Hong Kong; “Responsibility” for Prof. N. K. Leung, Chairman of SAHK; “Perseverance” for Prof. Frederick Ma, Chairman of MTR Corporation; and “Empathy” for Prof. Rosie Young, Emeritus Professor of Medicine of the University of Hong Kong. The guests were invited to sign a canvas for the Character Icon they represented, which would be displayed at the main entrance of the new floor as a constant reminder of the nine virtues for students and teachers. The ceremony was concluded after the closing prayer led by Mrs. Linda Ma, Founder and Chairperson of Citywide Renewal.
An array of activities, refreshments and workshops specially prepared by JEMS ensued after the ceremony for participating parents and children to enjoy. In order to further illustrate the significance of Character Education, two short films were showcased during the viewing sessions. Apart from animation viewing and game booths, children also had a great time among the Fun Photo Booth, Arts & Crafts workshops, Gratitude Graffiti wall and Scavenger Hunt, transforming the venue into a mini carnival full of laughter.
With the new floor, JEMS can offer programmes to more students as well as providing talks, workshops, lunch gatherings and parent-teacher meetings for parents. While JEMS has recently established the JEMS Education Foundation, the new floor can offer more space for the foundation work which will include planning events and programmes for advocacy and education in character.
Mrs. Christine Ma-Lau shared, “As we come to the seventh year since JEMS’ establishment, we have witnessed the growth of our students, teachers and even myself, as well as the development of our school. The expansion marks a new milestone for JEMS, and we will keep on giving our best for the days to come. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the students and parents for their support and encouragement for years, which have offered my teaching team and myself boundless motivation. With the opening of the new floor, I hope that we can bring Character Education to more students, so that more people can realize how wonderful it is.”
