轉貼 WYKPSA News - Walkathon 2009

Dear Wahyanites,

As most of you are aware, this year's is our Mother School's 85th birthday. In order to celebrate the big day, WYK, WYKPSA, WYOFF, WYHK and WYHKPSA have formed a Steering Committee to organise a series of celebration events from October 2009 to July 2010. The first activity is the Walkathon.

If you recall, the first ever Walkathon we had was in 2007 which was used to raise funding for Wah Yan One Family Foundation to realise the dream of Wah Yan's. This year, we will walk again but the main purpose is to celebrate birthdays! The Walkathon will be held on 18th October, 2009 and similar to 2007, we will walk from WYK to WYHK and will take Star Ferry to cross the harbour. In addition to the programs we will have at WYK during the Opening ceremony and before the walk kicks off, i.e., singing, dancing and other performance, this time we will have a Fun Fair at WYHK. There will be a lot of game booths, demonstrations and food & drinks provided to all participants at WYHK. Our Chief Executive, Mr. Donald Tsang, will again be our official guest of honour to officiate the event.

Here is the link to WYOFF"s website that you will find the enrolment form for your reference.
http://www.wahyanonefamily.org/aeWalkathon2009.html

On behalf of the Walkathon Organising Committee, you are cordially invited to join the big event with us. Please download the enrolment form, complete and return to WYK no later than 25th September, 2009. Please kindly bring your families, classmates and friends to have a healthy walk and a lot of funs at WAH YAN FAMILY!!!

Thanks and regards,

Sam Yu (83)

轉貼 WYKPSA News - WYK Homecoming Concert 2009 (5 Sep)

Dear Wahyanites and friends of Wah Yan,

The 2nd Homecoming Concert has been set for 6:15 p.m. Saturday, September 5, at WYK School Hall organized by WYK Past Students Association and co-organized by the Music Association and WYK Parents Association.

Our Homecoming Concert this year will also kick-start the 85th Anniversary celebration of Wah Yan College, Kowloon. Naturally, our theme for the concert will be "Our Music Throughout the Years". How has music changed throughout the years at WYK? From hymns to incorporation of instruments and varied styles performed by old boys and current students, we revisited the sounds of the various eras in a music concert on a Saturday summer night. The performance is meaningful to current and former students because it gives former students the opportunity to share memories of their experiences with the current students and also create new memories for the current ones. It's a concert for every Wahyanite to connect to the past while renewing friendships and building for the future.

All proceeds from the concert will be donated to Fr. Kelly Educational Fund. Proceeds from this concert will be used to support the development of the musical talent of the current WYK students. That includes certain instruments & equipments and payment for external conductors/trainers which the teachers and students have for long desired.

Taking this opportunity, we are requesting the honor of your presence at this concert. If you will sponsor this concert by making further donation, not only are you granting great endorsement on the efforts of the performing students, teachers, and alumni, you are also making the dreams of the music students and teachers possible.

With Best Wishes,
Mike Cheng '86
Chairman
Organizing Committee

P.S. We have just been informed by the WYK administrative office that the Homecoming Concert is overwhelmingly well received by the current students. All the regular HK20 student tickets have been sold out in school. To facilitate your purchase of the VIP tickets and supporting the event, we have attached a Sponsorship Form for your perusal.

[Message from Wah Yan China Chapter]

Dear All,

Father Stephen Chow, Supervisor of the two Wah Yans will visit Beijing (Aug 8-11) and Shanghai (Aug 12-15). Mr. Matthew Chu, our Educ. Psychologist will also join the visit.

In Father Chow's own words " The purpose of these trips is to gather our alumni at these two cities insofar possible to form an informal alumni group in these cities respectively. We really should start having informal PSA chapters at the two major cities in the Mainland. These groups can be supportive of Wahyanites working there (esp. the lonely ones) and help connect with new Wahyanites coming to study/work/live in these two cities. "

We have arranged the following gatherings :

轉貼 WYKPSA News - 85th/90th School Anniversaries Programmes

13th July 2009

Dear Wahyanites,

I am very pleased to inform you the 2 Wah Yan will celebrate their 85th/90th anniversaries this year. There are 3 programmes scheduled for union and sharing of joy, namely a Walkathon on 18th October 2009 (our CE will be officiating), a Gratitude Dinner in December 2009 and a Night of Performing Arts, finale of our celebration, on in July 2010.

Over the years, our Jesuit Fathers, teachers and staff had been developing the potentiality of each and every Wahyanite, with a focus on Christian moral values and individuality. Distinctively, Jesuit education is committed to training dutiful leaders and "men for and with others" to serve and contribute to Hong Kong and beyond. You will also concur on the fact that brotherhood and selfless care is essentially the spirit of Wah Yan.

The New Senior Secondary School curriculum (NSS) being launched in September 2009 will put more weights on the provision of more subjects and other learning experiences for students. In order to help our boys and teachers stand the test of this challenge and keep up with our heritage, the 2 Schools have taken some immediate measures such as the implementation of small class teaching at S1-S3, provision of professional psychological services, hiring additional qualified English and Putonghua teachers and teacher development programmes abroad. We would not have achieved these new heights without the zealous support of dedicated alumni and friends of Wah Yan like you.

Looking ahead, we would like to sustain these measures and are planning to introduce more language education and other learning experiences, hire more expatriate teachers and provide further teacher development programme. These measures and plans are imperative for the continuous growth of our young Wahyanites in the new curriculum.

Our celebration rendezvous will enable our fellow alumni, friends, teachers, students and parents to experience again the unity and genuine love for each other. It is also the best opportunity to render support to your Alma Mater. I am therefore appealing to you for attendance, sponsorship and other forms of support. Please contact me or the Heads of the individual events if you need further information. We look forward to welcoming you at all of the 3 events.

With best wishes,

Rev. Fr. Stephen Chow, S.J.

1. Marathon 2009
Our Marathon Team has got 146 members now. The final clinic on 11 Jan was attended by over 80 members. Pictures of the session had been uploaded at http://www.wahyanonefamily.org/photo20090111.html. Moreover, Oriental Daily News has launched a full page report on our Dream Campaign and the Marathon today. (...... which will be uploaded together with other clippings this eve).

With regard to fundraising, we have received approx HK$700,000 thus far. Now if we want to build running a ritual in Wah Yan, we need to support these 140 pioneers to lead and sustain the drive. We are $1.3 million adrift of our $2 million goal now. And we are only 2 weeks away from our Race on 8 Feb 2009.

Therefore, may I appeal to you again to make a gift to support these lovely Wahyanites please? If we could get $30,000 (certainly the more the merrier) each from 40 supportive alumni/friends of Wah Yan like you and your classes, we will make it for the Team. You will keep these forerunners and our Dream going.

2. Cheung Chung Pan
Our alumni Chung Pan is recovering and his mother Mrs Cheung has sent us the 6th letter on his status. Please click: http://www.wahyanonefamily.org/doc/cheungChungPanNoteOfThanks140109.pdf for details. Mrs Cheung sent us another message yesterday as attached.
……

Please render your support to our 146-member Marathon Team by making a gift or referrals. The cohort will do their best on 8 February 2009. May we wish you and your family a peaceful and pleasant Year of the Ox! Many thanks.

Best wishes,
Monty

令人尊敬的周神父,受人尊重的蘇校長暨香港華仁舊生會,九龍華仁舊生會,家長會:

大家好!春節很快到了,願大家在新的一年身體健康,萬事如意!

今天仲斌要做第二次手術,因為膝蓋後面植下的皮掉下,露出像一張個人名片大的傷口滲血,同時要割掉長在腳背及腳踝周圍像釋迦似的角質肉牙,這些部位都要重新植皮.是昨天晚上十點半後院長巡房才決定的.十二點開始禁飲食了.

請大家放心.過去我以為划船打鼓都一雙手的,現在,划船有周神父,蘇校長,朱 sir,打鼓有整個華仁同仁..第一次手術成功切除掉38.5公斤,是神的力量及大家的幫忙和支持.這次,我們會更加勇敢地面對一切.希望繼續得到你們的幫忙與支持,手術成功後再向大家匯報.祝福各位:

喜樂平安!

健康常在!
