F.6 Students’ and Parents’ Seminars 2022

The day for the release of HKDSE result is imminent. On the 16th of July, our school organized a seminar day to prepare our F.6 students and their parents for the upcoming “big day”. The morning session of the seminar was to prepare students for various possibilities of HKDSE results. They were informed of the multiple study pathways and numerous alternative options. They were also psychologically prepared for the possible ups and downs, and any potential surprises.

In the afternoon, 72 parents of our F.6 boys attended another seminar at school. The parents were equipped with the knowledge to better support their sons on the “big day”. The true highlight was a touching moment when the parents composed their heartfelt messages showing their love and support to their sons. They were also given an opportunity to voice their concerns and worries in the parent-teacher meeting.

The overall atmosphere of the whole-day event was positive and the responses from both students and parents were very encouraging. Let’s cheer up our F.6 boys and give them all the support they need for a very emotionally challenging day on the 20th of July.

Surfing in the City

To ski or to skate? Why not both? Recently, our Form 5 boys had a chance to explore and experience two extreme sports in the Olympics, skiing and skateboarding. In the special PE sessions, students had a chance to experience and learn how to play winter/snow sports in the indoor environment through special STEM technology and under full protective equipment such as helmet, elbow pads and knee pads. Play safe, learn safe! Xaverians! Enjoy surfing in the city!

21-22 Graduation Day

The Graduation Ceremony 2021-2022 was successfully held on 25th June 2022. This year, we were honoured to have Professor Kwok-yin Wong, Vice President (Education) of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, as our guest of honour. After the ceremony, our F.6 boys will be on their ways to different paths. May God guide them in their careers and help them live a full life that exemplifies the school motto, “Gentle in Manner, Resolute in Action”.

Mindfulness Workshop

The Mindfulness Workshop for Junior Forms parents, organized by the New Life Psychiatric Rehabilitation Association, was held online on 17 June 2022. Our Principal, Mr. Mario Leung welcomed the parents by explaining the importance of mental health for parents and students. Ms. Law Wing Yan, the instructor of the workshop, then introduced the advantages of practicing mindfulness to parents, and led them to do stretching and deeply relaxed exercises. Through drawing, parents were able to recall their precious time with their children and enjoy a peaceful moment. At the end, all parents gave their sincerely thanks to Ms. Law for the graceful and relaxing evening.

為了提升家長對自己身心健康的關注,以助其對學生的情緒需要作出有效回應,本校聯同新生精神康復會於20226 17日晚上為初中家長舉辦靜觀工作坊。在工作坊上,校長於開首歡迎家長參與,並希望家長能在日常忙碌的生活中,多關注自己及學生的精神需要。而活動導師羅穎欣姑娘在工作坊上為大家介紹修習靜觀的好處,並帶領家長進行伸展活動及深度放鬆,並與家長一起透過繪畫一邊回憶與子女的珍貴片段,一邊享受在專注放鬆的繪畫過程。最後,家長們均十分感謝羅姑娘帶領他們渡過了一個愉快而輕鬆的晚上。
