F.1 Admission Interview Day 2021

On 13th March 2021, we interviewed all candidates (currently Primary 6) who applied for our F.1 discretionary places for the 2021-2022 school year. Since we only have 40 discretionary places, the competition was really fierce. While the student candidates were having interviews conducted by our teachers, parents were invited to a talk in the hall. Thanks to the combined effort of our staff and helpers from the Xaverian community, the F.1 Admission Interview Day was concluded smoothly even under the looming pandemic. Good luck to all the candidates and we look forward to welcoming them into our Xaverian community soon.

New Year Gift Basket for the Brothers

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we cancelled many activities, including our Lunar New Year Gathering with the Brothers. To help share our love and joy with them, the Staff Affairs sub-committee created a beautiful New Year gift basket for Mr. Iu to present to the Brothers on behalf of all staff on 19th February 2021. Though there weren’t many on scene to witness the event, it didn’t make it any less warm and joyful.

Stay safe everyone, may we all have a healthy and fruitful Year of the Ox.

Winner of Multi-faceted Excellence Scholarship 2020 – Sit King Yin

Alongside Yam Kai Yui Hubert, Sit King Yin (6B) has been awarded the Multi-faceted Excellence Scholarship 2020 (in Community Services). They are two of 40 students receiving this prestigious award in the year of 2020. Although King Yin is yet to be publicly recognized by an official award ceremony due to the Covid-19 pandemic, he has already been reaping the full benefit of the scholarship, paying for his degree in medicine at the Chinese University of Hong Kong.

A big congratulations to Sit King Yin and we are proud of your achievement.

Winner of Multi-faceted Excellence Scholarship 2020 – Yam Kai Yui

In 2014, the HKSAR Government launched the Multi-faceted Excellence Scholarship (MES) to support local students studying the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education (HKDSE) curriculum who excel in sports, arts or community service to pursue undergraduate studies in universities and locally-accredited degree-awarding institutions in Hong Kong. The scholarship aims to promote a culture of multi-faceted excellence and convey to society the message that academic results are not the sole criterion for measuring the success of young people. It rewards awardees (max. 40 students each year) with full coverage of university tuition for their desired programs.

In 2020, we have two students being awarded the prestigious Multi-faceted Excellence Scholarship. One of them is Yam Kai Yui Hubert, who is awarded Multi-faceted Excellence in Sports. It is a pity that Hubert is yet to be publicly recognized by an official award ceremony due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Despite of that, he has been reaping the full benefit of the scholarship, paying for his double degree program in law and business at the University of Hong Kong. A big congratulations!
