PICCKS Student Scheme 2026/27 - Self-Learning Challenge for the New School Year - EdCity

Happy Self-Learning Holiday · Learning Fun at a New Rhythm

September marks the prelude to a new school year, bringing countless opportunities for growth and progress. To help students transition smoothly from holiday mode and readjust to the pace of learning, the EdCity has launched the “Self-Learning Challenge for the New School Year.” During the event, students can gradually build self-learning habits and lay a solid foundation for the year ahead by completing a diverse range of tasks, such as taking on Quiz Challenge, submitting creative pieces to eWorks, and recording reading logs with the Reading Charter.

Aligned with the learning attributes of the PICCKS Student Scheme, this challenge takes “Positive Mindset and Values” as its core theme. It features special activities such as “Back-to-School Mood Notes” and the “Back-to-School Challenge Station” to encourage students to proactively embrace and adapt to new challenges in the new school year. Participants only need to log in with EdCity student account and complete a certain number of tasks to have the chance to win rewards such as stationery set, Small Campus coins and clip coins.

EdCity has specially established the “Active School Participation Award” for each group (including primary and secondary school) to recognise the top 10 schools with the highest student participation. Awarded schools will receive a physical certificate as recognition. This initiative aims to encourage schools to participate in the self-learning challenge activities in a whole-school manner and to cultivate students’ ability for self-learning.

Note: If the number of days completed is the same, priority will be given to the participant who completed the tasks first. EdCity reserves the final decision on the distribution of gifts and the termination of the activity. In case of any disputes, EdCity retains the final decision, and participants may not contest it.
