The aim of the Hong Kong School Drama Festival is to encourage primary and secondary schools to develop drama as a regular co-curricular activity. With the sponsorship of the Lok Sin Tong Benevolent Society, Kowloon, the Education Bureau has commissioned the Hong Kong Art School of Hong Kong Arts Centre to organize the Festival on our behalf. The Festival this year can accommodate a maximum of 535 drama teams. Similar to last year, the events of the Festival will be organized in three phases, including the Training Phase, School Performance Phase and Public Performance Phase. |
