The Student Exchange Programme between St. Francis Xavier’s College (SFXC) and St. Francis Xavier’s School, Tsuen Wan (SFXS) aims to enhance the communication between the two Marist Schools in Hong Kong and give an opportunity for the senior form students in both schools to expose to a different learning environment.

We were honored that our A and B Grade Athletic Teams won the third place and first place respectively in the Inter-school Team Relay. Congratulations!

After the runs, the participants enjoyed themselves at the game and food stalls where they cheerfully spent time with their family and friends. This festive run indeed made an eventful and memorable family day for all the participants!
