JACP Trade Fair 2016

Trade Fair 2016, one of the highlights of the JA Company Programme, took place on Saturday, 17th December 2016, at Chater Garden in Central. The programme aimed at developing creativity and business acumen in students by launching their products or services in a real market.

88 JA companies offered their products/service on that day. Under the guidance of voluntary business advisors, Mr. Paul Ho and Mr. Francis Chan, 31 of our Form 4 and 5 students set up a mini-company, Greenovation. The Greenvation offers carbon credits from CarbonCareAsia for sale, and also an app which includes simple calculators for customers to find out their own carbon emission amount. It will be offset by the credit amount, so as to educate customers to change their lifestyle, and therefore changing the world.

Many alumni visited the Greenovation booth during the Trade Fair, including Mr. Chong Chan Yau and Mr. Chan Chi Wan. Their remarkable comments provided lots of insights to the students. As the Trade Fair was held successfully, students learned valuable experiences which would play a big part in their future aspirations.

Kick-off Ceremony of SFXC Mentorship Scheme 2016

The kick-off ceremony of SFXC Mentorship Scheme was held successfully on 10th December 2016. It started off with an array of activities including certificate presentation and ice-breaking games, which were followed by a gathering time. Over 70 of our senior students taking part in the Mentorship Scheme had the privilege of spending a wonderful evening with their mentors. During the fun ice-breaking games, both mentors and mentees enjoyed very much the great moments in exchanging the pleasant experiences and fond memories they had had in SFXC. The Mentorship is another way for us to pass our unique culture and family spirit to the next generation of Xavierians.

On 10th December 2016, the Careers Guidance Committee organized its first major career event for this school year - the Career Expo 2016.

There was no doubt that Career Expo equipped our students with comprehensive and the latest information on multiple study paths and career options. In addition, it also helped to unlock the potential of our students with life planning skills and strengthening our career guidance services in school.
