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.

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.
