On 28 February, the Wellness and Counselling Centre of the Office of Student Affairs organized the annual Mental Wellness Promotion Day with ‘ReDefinition’ as the main theme and 3-D artworks and pinwheel as the mascots. The event encouraged students and staff to explore new possibilities by reappraising their situations and to reexamine their priorities, characteristics and beliefs. Pro-Vice-Chancellor Prof. Dennis Ng (4th right) shared his views at the opening ceremony: ‘When we are having a hard time dealing with challenges, try to talk to ourselves: they are not difficult, just complicated. Be creative and change your perspective, and you will see a different picture.’ Student societies participated in the event by delivering music and magic performances and holding booths.
