A Memorable Xaverian Morning: Celebrating Legacy and Brotherhood

On 15 December 2025, our campus was filled with joy, pride, and a deep sense of unity as we warmly welcomed many of our cherished old boys back to school for a special photo-taking gathering — a heartfelt moment that celebrated the enduring Xaverian spirit.

One meaningful highlight of the morning was the sharing of green scarves, symbolising unity, continuity, and legacy. These scarves were generously gifted by our senior alumnus from the Class of 1974, Professor Ling Kar Kan, former Director of Planning of the HKSAR. His thoughtful gesture reminded us that the bonds formed at SFXC extend far beyond one’s school years.

We were especially touched by the presence of two of our earliest graduates from 1957 — Mr. George Ko, the founding President of our Alumni Association, and Mr. Percy Childe. At the age of 88, their vitality and unwavering affection for the school deeply moved everyone present. During the gathering, Mr. Ko donated a treasured gold school ring — once an auction item at the SFXC 50th Anniversary Banquet — and made a generous contribution of $100,000 to the SFXC Foundation.

The morning concluded with a joyful group photo and the singing of the school song, as students, teachers, alumni, and staff stood together on the playground, green scarves proudly worn — a powerful image of unity across generations.

This memorable morning beautifully reflected the legacy, love, and lifelong brotherhood that define the Xaverian identity. We extend our heartfelt thanks to all who made this meaningful gathering possible.
