Reflections on the Lifelong Benefits of
SPEED Education

SPEED's new logo signifies a renewed vigour in our endeavours to become one of the leading players in the continuing education community in Hong Kong. It reflects our dynamic organization and our progressive attitude towards education. The incorporation into the logo of the mathematical symbol for the “final answer” as part of our corporate identity is a sign of our unceasing commitment to provide high quality and professional education programmes to meet the learning needs of students at different levels of personal and career development.

The contemporary logo of our School also symbolizes the School's aspiration to move forward with students and its willingness to go the extra miles for their long-term benefits. The new logo's fluid upward movement defines SPEED as an organization in motion and also as a driving force for innovation in education. It underlines the dynamism and enthusiasm of both our students and staff.

Staff participation in the logo's development through a tagline competition has been essential to taking this fresh look to a further level of excellence. We now have three brand new taglines that aptly represent the spirit of SPEED:

* Your aspiration... Our mission
* It's more than lifelong learning
* Live and learn with SPEED

SPEED values highly our staff contributions in the School's development and our appreciation goes to all those who participated in the tagline competition.

We at SPEED are dedicated to providing our students with a wide array of student-oriented activities to enrich their learning experience. Our close partnership with businesses and industries stands us in good stead in this undertaking. One of the highlights of this is the Business Innovation Awards, organized in collaboration with EDUplus of the Sing Tao News Corporation with sponsorship from the Education Bureau and Centaline Property Agency Limited. We hope that this exciting opportunity will equip students to handle future challenges along their future career path.

In addition, our International Summer School Scholarship and Cultural Exchange Scholarship for the Chinese Mainland have proven to be very popular with our students, enabling them to pursue their studies overseas and gain valuable working experience in China.

All of our activities are developed with only one over-arching objective in mind - to prepare our students to meet the challenges of the emerging knowledge-based economy. We look forward to seeing you in our School to share this most rewarding learning experience.
