轉載 Wah Yan Encore (10 Jul 2010)‏

Wah Yan College, Hong Kong and Wah Yan College, Kowloon have stepped into their 90th anniversary and 85th anniversary respectively. The first two celebratory events, namely the Walkathon and the Gratitude Dinner had already been held with great success last year. Our alumni of different generations have shown tremendous support to these 2 events. A sign of immense passion and love for the Schools, this is also indicative of how Wahyanites and our friends value Jesuit education.

The finale of our celebration programme, Wah Yan Encore, will be held on Saturday, 10th July 2010 at the Hong Kong Coliseum. It will showcase the essence of performing arts emerged in the histories of Wah Yan. More than 800 alumni, teachers, parents, current students and our friendly schools will be performing. It should be an enduring learning experience for everyone taking part in the event.

This ensemble has started preparing for the programme since last July. In the coming months they will shoulder intense revisions and mass rehearsals. On behalf of the Organising Committee, we are inviting you to attend this meaningful event. Just by accepting our invitation and come with your family and friends, you will send a strong message of endorsement to these diligent performers and workers. You will be a role model of “Man for and with Others” by empowering them to focus on delivering their very best.

We enclose herein the ticket order and sponsorship form for your perusal. If you would like to share your ideas, please kindly contact Lee Yu Leung on 6626 1111 or by email: yllee888@hotmail.com. We look forward to welcoming you at the Coliseum. May God bless you and your loved ones!

Yours faithfully,
Rev. Stephen Chow, S.J.
Chairman, Wah Yan 90th/85th Anniversaries Celebration

"Football Grass Field" Project of WYK

Need of professional advice on:

1) Whether an artificial grass field is a good alternative to the existing natural grass field? In medium term? In long term?

2) How many different types of artificial grass field WYK should consider? How many qualified vendors there are in the market?

3) What are the true costs of the artificial grass field, with ongoing maintenance included?

4) What are some other related construction costs, such as foundation, draining, or even lighting?

If you happen to know such technical expertise, please give Wah Yan a lead or referral and feel free to contact Gordon.

轉載 Our Marathon Team on 28 Feb

We are most pleased to inform you our Marathon Team had successfully completed their run today. The atmosphere at Pavilion was harmonious, as the Team started and finished together. Thanks to the ardent support from many of you and other philanthropists, we had managed to form a 120-people team and raised over $400,000 thus far, of which $250,000 has been appropriated to the schools to provide financial support and additional training for needy Wahyanites with merit in sports. We had also received a pledge of HK$100,000 per year from an alumni to support this meaning cause in the next 4 years. Donations for this campaign are still coming in.

What's more encouraging, our young runners had set sight on better results as the target for next year, for they believed Marathon running could elevate their self confidence and help their fellow schoolmates in need. These young Wahyanites had demonstrated the true spirit of Wah Yan "Men for and with Others". With their support, we could see long distance running will become a virtue of Wah Yan.

Taking this opportunity, may we thank you and the two Schools for your unfailing support to the Marathon Campaign. We will do our best in getting more runners and donations in the coming years. We enclose the press release and some of the pictures taken at our gathering point today for reference and sharing with your schoolmates. More pictures could be found at www.wahyanonefamily.org/m_runners2010.html later.

Best wishes,
