The Civil Service Bureau today announced that the Civil Service College Logo Design Competition has chosen to adopt the gold award entry, “Staircase” as the logo of the Civil Service College.

The bureau explained that the logo symbolises the commitment of the civil service to growing as a learning and professional team through continuous learning and ongoing enhancement, and striving for excellence in the delivery of public service.

Civil Service Training Advisory Board Chairman Victor Fung, Secretary for the Civil Service Patrick Nip and Permanent Secretary for the Civil Service Ingrid Yeung presented awards to the winners during a ceremony at the Central Government Offices.

Over 600 entries were received from participants of more than 60 bureaus and departments for the competition. Entries winning the gold, silver and bronze awards and three meritorious awards were selected after two rounds of adjudication by a panel chaired by Mr Fung.

The Civil Service College is expected to be established by the end of this year.

The Civil Service Bureau is upgrading the existing facilities of the Civil Service Training & Development Institute at the North Point Government Offices to enable the premises to be used as the college's interim accommodation upon its establishment.

Concurrently, the Government is pressing ahead with the Kwun Tong Composite Development Project, which will provide long-term accommodation for the college.

The Government also plans to seek funding approval from the Legislative Council Finance Committee for the project’s capital works within the current legislative session.
