The first round contest was completed earlier, and three teams were selected out of 12 teams to compete in the finals today. The students demonstrated excellent performance and the contest was intense. After two rounds of competitions, the Champion, first runner-up and second runner-up were awarded to Shun Tak Fraternal Association Leung Kau Kui College, Our Lady of the Rosary College and Shun Tak Fraternal Association Yung Yau College respectively.

Five finalists from "Engineer Alliance" took part in a quiz competition, demonstrating their professionalism to the public. The final round of "Engineer Alliance" speech competition will take place tomorrow (3 March), and the winner will be determined by a panel of judges and public voting.

Various performance groups entertained the public with exciting shows, including a Singing performance by artist Travis WONG, rope performance, freestyle football, and Yo-Yo performance. The Carnival will be open to the public for free tomorrow, featuring the "Our Dream City" primary school design competition and the closing ceremony.
