Established in 2024 by the Student Affairs Office, the HSUHK Flag-raising Group aims to foster national identity, a sense of responsibility, and team spirit among students. The group currently consists of 28 students from various departments. They receive professional training in ceremonial conduct, etiquette and presentation, and take on roles such as flag raisers, flag guards, and emcees of ceremony during official events.
On-campus flag-raising ceremonies are held weekly and on significant occasions such as New Year’s Day, the HKSAR Establishment Day and the National Day. These ceremonies are well attended by members of the University community, reflecting strong community engagement.
Voices from the Group
“I was part of the Civil Aid Service Youth Corps in secondary school, where I participated in flag-raising ceremonies. I’m glad to continue this passion and sense of duty at HSUHK, and to share my knowledge and experience with the team.”

“The national flag represents our country. I feel honoured to help uphold this symbol. The ceremony involves many details, and through repeated practice, our teamwork and standards have improved. It has also strengthened my sense of responsibility.”
