Advancing with Perseverance, United in Benevolence, Celebrating Our 35th Anniversary

As the new academic year begins, the campus is once again brimming with vitality and energy. The sight of students returning with bright smiles brings great joy and anticipation. This fresh start carries new challenges and opportunities, calling on every student to embrace the journey ahead with a positive and proactive spirit.

The past year saw encouraging achievements across many areas. Our previous Secondary Six cohort made notable gains in the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education Examination, with rising numbers admitted to both local and overseas universities. Students also excelled in external competitions in sports, speech, science, mathematics and beyond. These accomplishments reflect their hard work, our teachers’ dedicated guidance, and strong parental support. The year ahead offers every opportunity to build further success in studies, character development and extracurricular pursuits, raising the school’s overall standard.

Learning is rarely a smooth path. Difficult subjects, heavy workloads, public examinations and the inevitable setbacks of growing up often bring pressure. True progress, however, stems not only from ability but from the resolve to persevere. Perseverance means standing firm in the face of difficulty, reflecting on setbacks, making improvements, and trying again. This new school year invites students to meet challenges with courage and determination, achieving stronger results in academics, character and co-curricular activities.

Excellence must be matched by responsibility. This quality shows itself in everyday details: arriving on time, studying diligently, respecting school rules, showing consideration for others, and caring for the community. Responsibility to oneself means valuing learning opportunities and following through on goals. Responsibility to others means acting with integrity, sharing duties, and collaborating willingly. When every student fulfils these responsibilities, the school becomes a genuine community of mutual respect, support and shared progress.

In today’s digital world, students need to harness technology as a learning tool while developing the judgement to discern truth from falsehood, protect their privacy, and use the Internet ethically. The goal is for all to become discerning and principled digital citizens, turning technology into a genuine force for growth.

An outstanding school values more than academic results; it nurtures the spirit of benevolence. Students are encouraged to treat those around them with kindness — showing greater understanding to classmates, deeper respect to teachers, and more care for those in need. In this way we can build a campus where mutual support, appreciation and warmth prevail.

This year holds special meaning as we celebrate the school’s 35th anniversary. For thirty-five years, generations of school managers, principals, teachers, students, parents and alumni have worked together to nurture its growth. The anniversary is both a time to reflect on that journey and a powerful opportunity to honour our traditions, strengthen our shared commitment, and look forward with confidence. A series of celebration activities will help students gain a deeper appreciation of the school’s history, value the foundation laid by predecessors, and carry forward its core values. Through planning and participating in these events, students will also practise teamwork, develop responsibility, and strive toward common goals. The celebrations further provide a stage for them to showcase their talents and achievements, displaying confidence and creativity across different fields. Parents, alumni and students are warmly invited to join in the festivities, share the joy, and help write the next inspiring chapter of our school’s story.

Looking ahead, may every student pursue excellence with perseverance, use technology responsibly, and connect with others through benevolence. Let us move forward together with one heart. In this landmark 35th anniversary year, we will create an even better campus and embrace a richer future. Wishing all students a truly fulfilling and rewarding school year ahead.
