Third and Most Challenging Milestone of SFXC70 Breakthrough Activity

On March 1, we completed the third and most challenging section of our Breakthrough Activity: MacLehose Trail Challenge. A dedicated group of 15 students, three teachers, and one alumnus embarked on this demanding journey, covering approximately 20 kilometers in over eight hours.

 

The route included ascents up Needle Hill, Grassy Hill, and Tai Mo Shan, with a staggering elevation gain of more than 1,000 meters. Despite the difficulty, our students demonstrated remarkable determination and teamwork, ensuring that no team member was left behind. Their growth was evident in how they tackled the steep climbs and long distances.

 

The breathtaking views along the journey served as a well-earned reward for their perseverance, making every step worthwhile. Our team is now eagerly anticipating the final adventure, which will begin with an overnight stay at Brother’s Hostel in our school. We will then embark on an early morning hike to Shing Mun Reservoir, where we will join fellow Xaverians for a walkathon. This final leg will be particularly special, bringing our school community together as one family, truly embodying the spirit of our 70th anniversary celebration.
