Animal Therapy Programme (2021-2022)
We were happy to have invited Hong Kong Animal Assisted Therapy Association (香港動物輔助治療協會) to organize animal therapy sessions on October 27 and November 28. Animal therapy, also known as pet therapy or animal assisted therapy, refers to various services using animals to help people. Animals can help people immensely, from providing comfort and reducing boredom to improve our mood and general well-being. Through this experiential learning, students learnt to interact with therapy dogs. The therapy dogs are typically trained pets with a gentle temperament. Not only did students enjoy their time with the therapy dogs, the therapy dogs also seemed to enjoy spending time with students as well.
