5-day Singapore STEAM Study Tour

30 of our students extended their learning beyond the classroom through a thoughtfully planned mix of campus learning, hands-on science, creative technology, sustainability fieldwork, and cultural discovery in Singapore from 30 March to 4 April 2026.

They visited the National University of Singapore (NUS) for a STEAM session on AI and explored the Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum. They also deepened their scientific thinking at Science Centre Singapore through a food science lab, and connected engineering and civic planning to real life at the Singapore City Gallery and the Housing & Development Board (HDB).

The “A” in STEAM came alive at ArtScience Museum (TeamLab) and through a behind-the-scenes look at creative production at XM Studio. Students also explored sustainability at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve and Punggol Waterway Park, and learned more about Singapore’s communities through visits to key cultural sites.

A special highlight was visiting Stella High School, a Marist school in Singapore, where our students enjoyed a warm welcome, short school presentations, a buddy-led tour, and classroom learning with STEAM experiments—ending the morning with new friendships and shared Marist spirit.

Overall, the tour strengthened students’ STEAM understanding, confidence, and global mindedness through real-world learning across Singapore.

Evangelization Weeks 2026

The Evangelization Weeks this academic year ran from March 9 to March 27, 2026, with the theme “Self initiation.” They came at a good time in the term, when many of us were busy and stressed. The activities reminded us that school life is not only about academics, but also about taking care of our spiritual life.

One of the highlights was the chapel sessions with Ms. Marina Carmel Cindy Ng. With the religious icons and the harp music, our Forms 1 to 5 boys took turns to join the session at the chapel to slow down, be quiet, and reflect, taking a spiritual break from studying and daily routines.

At lunchtime on 11 March, religious songs were sung at the school covered playground. The gathering reminded us that we are not facing school stress alone. It also helped build a sense of unity in the school.

On 19 March, we were also honoured to have Fr. Ng, O.P. celebrate Mass with us as part of the Evangelization Week. The Mass was one of the meaningful moments of the programme and encouraged us to continue practising what we had experienced—prayer, quiet reflection, and music—not only during the Evangelization Weeks but also in the weeks ahead, especially during exams.

We hope the Evangelization Weeks can help everyone on campus feel more settled and remind us to make time for faith and reflection even during a busy term.

Alumni Lawyers’ Sharing – Dream Catchers Program

On March 24, 2026, the Life Planning and Career Guidance Committee organized an Alumni Lawyers’ sharing session under the Dream Catchers Program. We were honored to welcome three distinguished alumni lawyers—Mr. Tai Siu Ching, Mr. Raymond Ng Ngai Man, and Mr. Vincent Chan Shu Ching (Class of 1978). Their generosity in returning to share their professional journeys, insights into the legal field, and thoughtful advice provided our Form 2–4 students with invaluable guidance for the future.

We are also grateful to Mr. Jack Man Chun Kit (Class of 2017), who served as guest host and guided the discussion, making the session both insightful and inspiring.

The sharing inspired students to reflect on their own career paths. They realized that becoming a lawyer requires passion, perseverance, and a clear understanding of oneself. Many were encouraged by the alumni’s advice to “keep a fire in your heart”—a reminder to pursue goals with dedication and resilience. The session broadened their horizons, deepened their understanding of the legal profession, and motivated them to explore their strengths and interests when planning for the future.

Looking ahead, the Life Planning and Career Guidance Committee will continue to provide meaningful exposure to the legal profession. In May, students will take part in a taster program at the CUHK Faculty of Law and visit the Hong Kong Court of Final Appeal. These upcoming activities will further enrich their understanding of the legal field and inspire them to plan their academic and career journeys with confidence.

Joint School Retreat: Messengers of Hope

Lent is a season for all faithful Christians to commemorate the Passion and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. The three pillars of Lent—prayer, fasting, and almsgiving—are foundational practices in the Christian faith, designed to deepen one’s relationship with God, foster self-discipline, and promote charity during the 40 days of preparation for Easter.

On 19 March (Thursday), a Joint School Retreat was organised by the Pastoral Committee for the Catholic students from both SFXC and SFXS. Around 100 students and teachers participated in the event. The programme started with a prayer and an input by Br. John on the theme, “Messengers of Hope,” followed by a workshop on making a “Crystal Globe” with a cross inside, conducted by the Catholic Student Association. At the same time, students were encouraged to take time for Confession.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank Father Billy Ng, an Opus Dei priest, for being the confessor and the presider of the Joint School Retreat Closing Mass at our school chapel.
