On 29 September 2026, the Chinese People’s Liberation Army Hong Kong Garrison (PLA Hong Kong Garrison) returned to PolyU to conduct a training session for the PolyU Student Flag-Raising Team in preparation for the National Day Flag-Raising Ceremony on 1 October. Building on the foundation established through previous training, the session focused on strengthening students’ mastery of flag-raising procedures, marching techniques, formations and ceremonial protocol. Throughout the training, members of the PolyU Student Flag-Raising Team demonstrated strong commitment and discipline, devoting themselves to refining every movement and detail. Under the professional guidance of the PLA Hong Kong Garrison, students practised extensively to enhance their coordination, precision and overall ceremonial performance, ensuring that the upcoming ceremony would be conducted with dignity and professionalism. The training provided a valuable opportunity for students to consolidate their skills through hands-on practice and constructive feedback. By repeatedly rehearsing key procedures and movements, team members further improved their confidence, teamwork and readiness for the National Day ceremony. PolyU extends its sincere gratitude to the PLA Hong Kong Garrison for its continued support and guidance in nurturing the development of the PolyU Student Flag-Raising Team. The training not only enhanced students’ ceremonial skills but also reinforced their sense of responsibility, discipline and commitment to upholding the dignity of the national flag. For many team members, the opportunity to receive professional instruction from the PLA Hong Kong Garrison for a second time was both meaningful and inspiring. Their dedication and perseverance throughout the training reflected the team’s unwavering commitment to excellence and their readiness to serve as ambassadors of national pride on campus.
