On July 10, 34 Form 4 and 5 students went on a one-day Life Planning study trip to Huizhou (惠州), which is part of the EDB’s Greater Bay Area Career Exploration Tours Programme.
Thanks to the programme, our boys had the privilege to visit an entrepreneurship base for Hong Kong and Macau youths (惠州仲愷港澳青年創業基地) and TCL Technology, a partially state-owned Chinese electronics company. Through these visits, they gained a better understanding of their career potential in the Greater Bay Area and the development of technology in mainland China.
The school arranged a F.6 Seminar on 6th July, 2024 for our F.6 students in preparation for the approaching 2024 HKDSE result release day.
The welcome speech by our Vice Principal, Mr Leung, started off the seminar, followed by detailed talks concerning the timeline of the release of results and key procedures for application of university programmes and DSE results rechecking. In the ensuing activity, students were distributed their predicted grades to simulate the result release.
The latter section of the programme had the students divided into smaller groups, and featured our alumni who graduated in 2023 sharing their experiences and challenges encountered regarding the final stretch of the HKDSE, from the mental preparation for result release to tertiary education programme selection and advice for university interviews. F.6 boys were also given practice in calculating their scoring and selecting the optimal university programmes swiftly, ensuring they would be well-versed on the big day.
May our F.6 boys of 23-24 enjoy the fruits of their labour in the HKDSE, and every success in their future endeavours.
On the morning of 4 July 2024, The Outstanding Young Persons Association, Social Seed, and the Yau Tsim Mong District Office collaborated to host the “DSE Talk (Yau Tsim Mong District)” career event at our school. The event's primary goal was to provide students with guidance to help them make informed decisions regarding their educational and career paths.
During the event, Dr. Chong Shuk Ching, the Vice-chairperson of The Outstanding Young Persons Association and recipient of the HK TOYP Award in 2018, shared her career journey. From selecting elective subjects in secondary school to becoming a Specialist in Genetics and Genomics (Paediatrics), she emphasised the importance of setting goals and creating long-term plans.
The second speaker Ms. Louise Kwong, a renowned soprano and HK TOYP Awardee in 2019, shared her passion for music and perseverance in the field. She discussed the essential qualifications required for musicians and highlighted the challenges faced in establishing a music career in Hong Kong. Additionally, she performed for the students, adding a special touch to the event. The students gained valuable insights from the speakers, learning that pursuing dreams in any field requires clear goal-setting and persistence.
A special acknowledgment goes to our esteemed alumnus Mr. Pun Chi Ho, Steven, who played a pivotal role in initiating and organising the talk at his alma mater.
We are deeply saddened to inform you of the death of Mr. Chan Cho Hung 陳祖雄老師, who passed away peacefully on 19 June 2024 at the age of 81.
Mr Chan was our 1964 graduate, and he dedicated his career to serving at his Alma Mater from 1966. He was our Vice Principal till retirement in 2003.
To generations of Xaverians, Mr. Chan was not only a knowledgeable and respected teacher, but also a compassionate and humorous gentleman. Among his peers, he was a supportive and cherished friend. Indeed, Mr. Chan was a true role model for all of us.
May peace be with Mr. Chan and his family during this sorrowful time. Let us keep Mrs. Chan and her family in our thoughts and prayers.
