June 25, 2025, 6:34 pm
In a world where health and education are paramount, AIA Hong Kong is making waves. The recent AIA Healthiest Schools Competition has crowned its champions, Baptist (Sha Tin Wai) Lui Ming Choi Primary School and Salesians of Don Bosco Ng Siu Mui Secondary School. Both schools have not only won accolades but also a substantial prize of US$100,000. This investment will fuel their ongoing efforts to promote healthy lifestyles among students.
The competition has seen a remarkable surge in participation, with entries increasing by over 60% compared to previous years. This year marks a pivotal moment as secondary schools joined the fray for the first time. The enthusiasm reflects a collective commitment to nurturing a healthier generation.
AIA’s initiative, launched in 2022, aims to instill healthy habits in students, teachers, and parents alike. It offers free resources covering four essential themes: Healthy Eating, Active Lifestyles, Mental Well-being, and Health and Sustainability. Nearly 300 schools across Hong Kong have embraced this program, showcasing their health initiatives and achievements.
Baptist (Sha Tin Wai) Lui Ming Choi Primary School stands out with its vibrant campus. Murals and uplifting messages adorn the walls, creating an atmosphere of positivity. The school offers 60 diverse well-being activities designed to boost self-confidence and holistic development. Their daily 30-minute Energetic Recess engages students in sports, followed by a whole-school exercise session. This approach not only enhances physical health but also nurtures mental well-being.
Sustainability is woven into the fabric of the school’s ethos. Students participate in farming, recycling, and environmental conservation. They learn the importance of caring for the planet while developing a sense of responsibility. Parents are also involved, with adventure camps and family gatherings fostering strong bonds. Certified parenting courses encourage shared experiences, creating harmonious home environments.
Meanwhile, Salesians of Don Bosco Ng Siu Mui Secondary School has launched the Whole-Person Well-being Learning Experience (WLE) program. This initiative empowers students to design and lead activities that promote personal growth and community engagement. The WLE framework has expanded, enabling students to participate in projects like digital inclusion for seniors and art therapy.
Through these initiatives, students develop transferable skills that enhance their physical, mental, and social wellness. Over 70% of students have engaged in community service, contributing more than 4,000 service hours. The school emphasizes the well-being of teachers and parents, offering workshops and family outings that enrich the entire community.
AIA’s Healthiest Schools Programme is part of a broader vision—the AIA One Billion initiative. This ambitious goal aims to engage a billion people in healthier living by 2030. The commitment to health and education is not just a trend; it’s a movement.
On another front, AIA is making significant strides in the insurance sector. Recently, the company announced a substantial investment of RMB1.999 billion (US$277 million) in China Post Life Insurance. This move, part of an RMB8 billion capital increase, solidifies AIA’s 24.99% stake in the insurer.
China Post Life has been undergoing a transformation, shifting its focus toward long-term savings and protection products. This strategy has proven successful, with the insurer’s value of new business growing 5.3 times since 2020. The Mainland Chinese life insurance market is the second largest globally, presenting immense growth opportunities.
AIA’s investment aligns with its strategy for AIA China, allowing access to new distribution channels and broader customer segments. As the leading bank-affiliated life insurer, China Post Life plays a crucial role in providing financial protection to the mass market.
The synergy between AIA’s health initiatives and its investment in insurance illustrates a holistic approach to well-being. By fostering healthy lifestyles in schools and ensuring financial security through insurance, AIA is paving the way for a healthier, more secure future.
In conclusion, AIA’s dual commitment to health and insurance reflects a broader understanding of well-being. The Healthiest Schools Competition champions a new generation of students, while the investment in China Post Life strengthens AIA’s foothold in a lucrative market. Together, these initiatives embody a vision of healthier, longer, and better lives for all.
As we look ahead, the impact of these efforts will resonate throughout communities. Schools will continue to thrive, and families will find security in their financial futures. AIA is not just an insurance company; it is a catalyst for change, driving a movement toward a healthier world.
In a landscape where health and education are intertwined, AIA stands at the forefront, leading the charge for a brighter tomorrow. The journey has just begun, and the possibilities are endless.
