Alumni Talk by Dr. Samuel Chui Ho Kwong: A Meaningful Exchange with F.4 Students

On 6 November 2025, we were honoured to welcome back our distinguished alumnus, Dr. Samuel Chui Ho Kwong, JP, Director of Environmental Protection, from the class of 1982, who delivered an inspiring talk to our Form 4 students during the Form Assembly.

Dr. Chui shared his valuable experience in the fight against COVID-19, including how his team employed innovative strategies such as sewage surveillance testing to monitor and control the spread of the virus. His insights offered students a behind-the-scenes look at how science, teamwork, and public service came together to protect communities during a global crisis.

He also gave students a glimpse into the natural beauty and ecological richness of the Chinese Mainland, offering reflections from the perspective of environmental protection. Through this, he encouraged students to appreciate the importance of sustainability, conservation, and the harmonious relationship between humans and nature.

Of course, as a proud Xaverian, Dr. Chui fondly recalled his school days at SFXC, and took a heartfelt moment to thank his former teacher, Mr. Yuen, for inspiring him on his journey of public service and environmental advocacy.

We are deeply grateful to Dr. Chui for returning to his alma mater to share his passion, wisdom, and stories.

Distinguished Alumni Sharing Series: A Tribute to Alumni Sportsmanship and Brotherhood

On November 3, 2025, our school hosted the Distinguished Alumni Sharing Series, centered around the themes of sportsmanship and brotherhood. We were honored to hear from three of our alumni athletes Mr. Won Ng Chung (2005), Mr. Ng Chi Ho (2010), and Mr. Wong Hing Wing (2023).

During the event, each alumnus shared heartfelt memories and experiences from their time at our school, highlighting how sports have profoundly shaped their lives. They recounted passionate moments from their athletic pursuits, emphasizing the importance of teamwork and camaraderie, which foster lasting friendships. Additionally, they discussed the invaluable lessons in perseverance learned through different sports especially in swimming and fencing—traits that extend well beyond the field.

The event also served as an inspiring platform for our current Form 1 students, who looked up to these distinguished alumni as role models. Witnessing their achievements motivated the younger generation to aspire to excellence in both academics and athletics. The stories shared sparked a sense of pride and ambition, encouraging students to embrace the values of school life.
