The College offers exciting palettes with which to colour CC-ers’ university life and support the holistic development. These activities encompass spiritual care, social service, language enhancement, arts, lifestyle and sports, inter-cultural engagement, career development and internship.
CC-ers are also encouraged to take lead in organizing meaningful and creative activities of their own. Students can develop better leadership and communication skills, as well as empathy to others, through cooperating with one and others. The College established “Quality Activities Award Scheme” to provide financial support for events and activities organized by student.
Spiritual Care
While embracing the new experiences and challenges of university life, don't forget to recognize your feelings and the need to manage stress and make timely adjustments. Learning how to effectively release stress and alleviate negative emotions can help cultivate a psychological state of happiness and concentration. You are better equipped to cope with difficulties and setbacks that you may face during your journey of life. Understanding how to care for yourself first makes it easier to comprehend how to empathize, care for, and love the people around you.
“Co-wellness Peer Programme” aims at enhancing students’ mental wellbeing and developing a caring attitude on campus. By building a supportive peer community on campus, it can develop a network of safe peer support and create a positive living environment by organizing student-led wellness activities. Besides, student wellness activities including Pilates, Mindfulness x Finger Labyrinth Ceramic Making, and Alcohol Ink Painting were introduced to help CC-ers relax body, mind and soul. They aim at enhancing students’ physical and mental well-being, developing resilience and preparing students to be able to tide over any upcoming hurdles.

The Cultural Exploration and Service Trips of the College visited Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia and India in past few years. CC-ers were able to explore the local culture, religion and life, while serving the groups in need. CC-ers can also join the social service activities or trips organized by University YMCA (CCC CUHK) to increase their awareness of the needs of various social groups, as well as the necessary aptitudes required of a leader in society, in terms of morality, skills and psychological adjustment.
