Our 70th anniversary celebrations featured an inspiring event with three distinguished alumni sharing their experiences with our Form 6 students. Mr. Chan Cho Man (Class of 1976), Mr. Lau Wing Keung (Class of 1990), and Mr. Kwong Chuek Yin (Class of 2010) recounted cherished memories of school history, fellow brothers, teachers, and classmates.
Their stories, spanning four decades, beautifully illustrated our enduring theme: 'Brotherhood: 70 Years and Beyond.' This gathering highlighted the strong bonds within our school community that continue to thrive across generations.
We're grateful to our alumni for their inspiring contributions and for embodying the spirit of lifelong brotherhood that defines our school.
We are delighted to announce the official theme song "詩歌舞曲” of St. Francis Xavier’s College's 70th Anniversary Celebration, reflecting this year’s theme: "Brotherhood: 70th Years and Beyond."
The theme song features a melody composed by Ng Lik Hei Christopher (2023) and heartfelt lyrics written collaboratively by Ng Chung Hang Harry (1990), Fok Ka Lok (1993), and Ho Wai Ching (current Form 6 student, 2024-25). The song was arranged and produced by Ng Chung Hang Harry, and was sung by a group of alumni and current students, showcasing the contributions of the past and present members of the St. Francis Xavier’s College community.
This song beautifully reflects the enduring bonds of friendship, unity, and shared memories that have shaped our school’s legacy over the past seven decades. Celebrating brotherhood and lifelong connections, it serves as a tribute to the past, a celebration of the present, and an inspiration for the future.
We invite you to listen and sing along as we celebrate this remarkable milestone. Let "詩歌舞曲" remind us of our joyous journey and inspire us to carry forward the values of St. Francis Xavier’s College. Together, let us celebrate the unbreakable bonds of brotherhood!
On the morning of 7th December 2024, our school kicked off the first celebratory event in anticipation of the 70th Birthday of St. Francis Xavier’s College.
The day began with a solemn national flag-raising ceremony and a thanksgiving mass hosted by Rev. Father Joseph Yim. Our supervisor, Bro. Chin, then gave a warm welcome speech, extending his gratitude to all present, followed by our Principal, Mr. Leung, who reminded us of our proud heritage of Brotherhood.
Our officiating guest, Father Yim Tak Lung, who is our alumnus, shared with us his fond memories of studying at St. Francis Xavier’s College and encouraged every one of us to treasure our identity as Xaverians.
One of the highlights of the Opening Ceremony was the lighting ceremony, when our Principal and Supervisor, together with all our guests of honour, activated the pillars displaying the letters ‘SFXC70’, commemorating this significant milestone of our school history.
What came next was stunning performances from our Dancing Society and Wind Band, as well as the significant moment of the Time Capsule Ceremony, when our Supervisor, our Principal, our teacher manager Mr. Wong Ka Kin, PTA Chairlady Ms. Angela Cheng and President of SFXC Alumni Association Mr. CY Kwong and Chairman of the Student Union Mr. Li Yiu Ching took turns to put items of historical and sentimental significance into the time capsule.
The ceremony concluded with our longstanding tradition of proudly singing our school song and three resounding cheers.
In the coming year, a series of celebratory events will be organised, including a Fundraising Walkathon along the Shing Mun Reservior on 21 March 2025, Pilgrimage to Lyon during the Easter holidays from 12 to 21 April 2025, distinguished alumni sharing sessions, MacLehose trail breakthrough challenge, SFXC70 Open Day in November 2025, Thanksgiving Mass cum Closing Ceremony as well as SFXC 70th Grand Banquet on 6 Dec 2025 as the grand finale.
We are overjoyed to share the incredible success of the SFXC 70th Anniversary Basin Feast, held on the unforgettable night of 7 December 2024! This extraordinary event, an extension of the Opening Ceremony for our school’s 70th anniversary celebrations, brought together honorable guests, parents, alumni, teachers, and students to celebrate the bonds of brotherhood that define the spirit of St. Francis Xavier’s College.
The sight of 100 tables packed with guests transformed our school grounds into a lively and welcoming space, buzzing with laughter and heartfelt conversations. Guests indulged in the cherished tradition of the Basin Feast, savoring dishes steeped in cultural significance while forging connections and creating lasting memories.
Adding to the magic of the evening were breathtaking live performances that captivated the audience. From soulful music to energetic showcases, the entertainment added vibrancy to the already festive atmosphere, encouraging everyone to relax, mingle, and celebrate in true SFXC style.
This memorable night was not just a celebration of the past 70 years but also a reflection of the enduring community spirit that unites us. The event left a warm and lasting impression on all who attended, reminding us of the strength of our SFXC family.
A heartfelt thank you to all the guests, alumni, and contributors who made this celebration such a remarkable success. Your presence and support have truly brought our 70th anniversary to life.
Let’s give a loud cheer to the 70 years of brotherhood, tradition, and excellence at St. Francis Xavier’s College!
