新生們進行團隊破冰活動。
In the beginning of the new academic year 2017-18, SHEAC organised an orientation programme with a series of activities and workshops to welcome her freshmen. Through these activities, freshmen have made new friends, adapted themselves to college life, and become more familiar with the campus.
Upon move-in, the College assigned staff members and helpers to different positions to ensure the smoothness of the check-in process. Meanwhile, the floor leaders and the House Association also warmly welcomed the new students, and were eager to introduce them to the daily life and various facilities of the College. In the evening, the floor leaders organised various activities to help new members immerse in their floor communities.
In addition, the House Association organised a range of activities to welcome the freshmen. Through a series of simple but exciting ice-breaking games, freshmen got to know each other better, and gradually nurtured team awareness and interpersonal skills. While every second counts during the campus orienteering game, the teams that comprised both new and senior students completed different tasks by building team spirit under the scorching sun, and finding the various checkpoints one after another. The barbecue gathering in Hac Sa Beach, attracting more than 100 participants, marked the finale of the orientation programme. During the orientation week, SHEAC also held a seminar on the information and communication technology facilities and services of the University, a dining etiquette workshop and a sharing session on the course add/drop procedures to facilitate freshmen to begin their college life smoothly.

May we wish new students a wonderful start of their new journey, and all students a successful academic year ahead!

新學年打開新篇章 大一新生踏上新的征途
新學年之初，何鴻燊東亞書院舉辦了一系列的迎新活動。當中有各種多元化的活動幫助新生認識新的朋友和了解書院架構，同時也透過不同的講座讓新生更快地適應校園的生活以及更快地熟悉校園。
新生們初來報到時，書院安排人員在不同的崗位以便同學能快速辦理好入住手續，樓層小老師及書院學生會成員熱情地歡迎他們，並且熱心地向他們介紹書院的日常生活與各種設施。晚上的時候，樓層領袖組織了迎新活動讓同一樓層的同學彼此交流和認識。

此外，書院學生會還組織了一系列的迎新活動。新生們通過簡單但刺激的破冰遊戲彼此熟悉，並且培養人際交往的技巧及團隊意識；而在分秒必爭的分組定向遊戲中，參加者懷揣著團體意識不懼烈日，尋找一個又一個的地點來完成任務，新生們更熟悉校園內的地點，新老生的距離亦進一步拉近了。相約在黑沙海灘燒烤的那天是迎新活動的壓軸，吸引了超過一百位同學參與，真是其樂融融。迎新週期間，為了讓新生們順利的開展大學生活，書院還舉辦了學校資訊設施介紹會、西餐禮儀工作坊和課程增刪講解會。
