Inauguration Gathering of English Ambassadors 2018-2019

On Wednesday, 19th September, the English Ambassadors met at their inaugural gathering and were given information about the fantastic activities they would be participating in this academic year, ranging from a warm gathering at a village house to the lunch-time Scrabble games. It is sure to be an exciting year for all the Ambassadors and those served by them.

Through conducting language games, taking part in our theme-based activities and delivering speeches at the morning assemblies, we hope that the English Ambassadors will promote the English speaking environment on school campus and become role models for our fellow Xaverians.

With the successful conclusion of the SU election a day before, the term of office of the Student Union 2017 – 2018, Alter, had came to a perfect close on 13th September 2018. Cheung Ho Ngai (F.6D), the Chairman of Alter, delivered his end-of-term speech to express his gratitude to different parties, especially to his SU cabinet members. Our principal Mr. Iu thanked Alter for their service and presented them certificates of appreciation to honor their effort. Mr. Iu, also gave words of encouragement to the new SU and reminded them to be the servants of the students, the ambassadors of the school and the clean keeper of the SU office. After the ceremony, Harmony, the newly elected SU cabinet, headed by Yam Kai Yui (F.5D), assumed duty as the servant leaders of all students in the SU office.

Thank you, Alter, for all your hard work last year and good luck, Harmony, for the coming year ahead.

SU 2018-2019 Election Day

The election of the Student Union for the academic year 2018-2019 was held on 12th September 2018. “Harmony”, the only proposed SU cabinet this year, was put to a test of confidence by a democratic election. Our principal Mr. Iu Kwong Chi casted the first vote in this election during the morning assembly. The majority of the staff and students also voted throughout the day.

In the end, the total number of valid votes counted was 737, which accounted for 93% of the regular members of our school community (students and staff included). Out of the 737 valid votes, 499 (67.7%) voted for “confidence”, and 132 (17.9%) voted for “no confidence” in our only proposed SU cabinet. Hence, “Harmony” was successfully elected. Their Chairman, Yam Kai Yui of F.5D delivered his Victory Speech during the afternoon assembly to thank the supporters of Harmony and promised that he and his team would try their very best to serve the students and the school. Let’s congratulate them and show them our greatest support by joining their coming activities in 2018-2019!
