Renaissance College Hong Kong Students Design Iconic Hong Kong Tram in Collaboration with Tramplus
- Written by Media Outreach
This collaboration with Tramplus builds on RCHK's commitment to providing young artists with enriching opportunities in the Visual Arts, like the ESF-wide pioneering Photography Programme, as part of IB Career-related Programme (IBCP), or collaborations with street artists, which included mural painting with TAKA. RCHK is always looking for ways to expose students to different forms of artistic expression.
The newly designed tram will be unveiled at a launch ceremony, which is open to the media, at the Whitty Street Tram Depot on May 2nd, 2025, at 10am. The one-hour ceremony will introduce student artists behind the project and feature speeches, including representatives from ESF, such as ESF CEO, Ms. Belinda Greer, RCHK Principal, Dr. Harry Brown, and Head of Visual Arts at RCHK, Mr. Andrew Deakin. Following the ceremony, attendees will have the opportunity to ride the designed tram. The tram will then operate across Hong Kong Island for four weeks.
"This collaboration with Tramplus builds on RCHK's commitment to providing students with enriching opportunities in the Visual Arts. We are proud of the way they have come together as a team to showcase our creativity and how they have brought art to the public", says Andrew Deakin, Head of Visual Arts at RCHK. "Our art students utilise many skills they have been learning over the years, including the coordination of the finer details, which are part of this project. It is a unique opportunity for the students to make a lasting contribution to Hong Kong's cultural heritage and to see their artwork come to life in such a public and impactful way."
