DSE Scholarships

On 23rd September, the DSE Scholarships Presentation Ceremony has been held. It’s our great pleasure and honour to invite Mr. Chow Ka Po, the member of Management Committee of St. Francis Xavier’s College Foundation Limited, to return to his alma mater and present awards to our students who had an outstanding performance in the HKDSE in 2022.

SFXC Foundation was established in 2006. The donation received is not only utilized in school facilities improvement and teaching capability enhancement but also used for distributing scholarships to outstanding students and providing financial support to students in need. We encourage our students to continue to strive for excellence and we also wish our Form Six students outstanding performance in their upcoming HKDSE.

Mid-Autumn Festival celebration 2022-2023

The Mid-Autumn Festival has arrived. While everyone goes home and enjoys the festivity with the family, our Marist Brothers are still serving far away from home and their close ones. That is why the school has decided to show the Brothers our gratitude by preparing a Mid-Autumn celebration package for them. In the morning of the Mid-Autumn Festival on 10th September 2022, our principal Mr. Leung presented the gift basket to Brother John, the representative of the Marist Brothers, on behalf of the school. The gift itself is nothing comparing to the sacrifice made by the Brothers, but it represents our heartfelt gratitude and blessings to these tireless educators for God.
