Introduction
"My Pledge to Act" has been held since 2003, now in its 13th
year. The Education Bureau expects students to develop a healthy
lifestyle in different areas through making a pledge collectively and
putting the pledge into practice, rallying concerted efforts to
cultivate in students positive values and attitudes, civic awareness
and willingness to undertake social responsibility, so as to prepare
them to become global citizens.
The health of the worldwide community in recent years is
under threat from the attacks of various types of influenza, Ebola
virus disease and the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, etc. We
have to stay vigilant against the invasion of viruses and bacteria by
maintaining personal hygiene and keeping our home, school and
community clean. Also, we can build up our immunity by practising
healthy lifestyle, having a proper diet, regular exercise and adequate
rest.
“My Pledge to Act” 2015 is aimed at rallying efforts of families,
schools, and other stakeholders in society to cultivate in students
positive values and attitudes on practising healthy living, caring
about our community, and becoming a responsible citizen and so
forth. It is hoped that through “My Pledge to Act”, not only would
students learn to be sensible and responsible citizens, but also turn
our society into a better place.

User Guide
(Teachers and parents are encouraged to help students ready this
Guide and the Flowchart at Page 5.)
This handbook is aimed at providing approaches, skills or
examples to help students set goals and put them into practice.
Schools or teachers may enrich or select the content as
appropriate according to the needs and abilities of students.
Special features of this handbook are as follows:
 Three key areas, “Heart” (values), “Words” (language) and
“Deeds” (practice), help students work out a multi-dimensional
plan to achieve their goals;
 Content for formulating and selecting action plan are designed
to help students consider possible strategies to achieve their
goals, and the respective feasibility, before taking action;
 Students are encouraged to seek advice from others throughout
the process of goal setting, acting on and achieving their goals.
A few questions are put there to help them understand their
situation;
 Students are also encouraged to review and reflect so that they
can learn from their experience.
1. Review and revise the goals and feasibility of the strategies
regularly. For example, short-term goals may be reviewed
weekly; interim goals every two to three weeks and long-term
goals every one to two months. (Students may review and
revise their goals as needed.)
2. If subjective or objective factors vary, students may need to
revise their goals or action plans. (e.g. They may adjust the time
to achieve, the scope or the approach to achieve their goals or
they may seek help etc.)
3. If students have doubts about their goals or the action plan, they
may seek advice from others including teachers, family, social
workers and peers.
Students should remember the following as they move
towards their goals:
