The constituent Colleges deliver ‘student-orientated teaching’, creating a congenial community for students to interact closely with teachers and peers. The Colleges organize general education courses and cultural, recreational and sports activities to sharpen the minds of students, cultivating in them an awareness of the world, and nurturing in them a sense of responsibility towards it. Students are encouraged to develop their full potential through participation in various activities. Shaw College has launched High Table Dinners from this academic year with the aim of expanding students’ horizon and enhancing their sense of belonging to the College through sharing by the guest speakers. Teachers are also invited to take part in the dinners, so they can have better interaction with the students. All students of Year 2 or above are welcome to register for the dinners and some seats are reserved for non- local students. There is a pre-dinner reception where students can chat with guests and get to know the teachers in attendance. The dinner and talk will then follow. Two students are responsible for hosting the talk and interviewing the guest speaker. This is designed to give students more knowledge about the speakers and to teach them the skills of research and interviewing. Six High Table Dinners (see table) have been organized since September. Each attracted over 100 participants including students, teachers and College trustees. The guest speakers were chosen from different sectors of the community. 我看高桌晚宴 I’m All for It 徐耀光先生（書院校董） Mr. Tsui Yiu-kwong (member of the Board of Trustees, Shaw College) 「它提供珍貴機會予學生在聚會時與陌生人建 立人際網絡，在輕鬆的晚宴中與老師交流互動， 從聆聽主講嘉賓的獨特識見中獲益。這過程正是 體現書院制促進全人發展的好例子。」 ‘I highly commend the High Table Dinners for being valuable learning opportunities. Students can network with strangers at the reception, interact with teachers over a relaxed dinner, and broaden their perspectives by listening to the guest speakers. The process is a good example of total education as manifested by the college system of CUHK.’ (To be continued) 高桌上的高識卓見 High Minds at the High Table 逸夫書院院長沈祖堯教授（中）介紹主講嘉賓莊陳有先生（左） Prof. Joseph J.Y.
