快樂的下午 (區樂民 2014年09月25日) 蘋果日報 副刊 名采
這是一個快樂的下午，天氣極好，舊生們回到九龍華仁書院，參加人造草足球場的開幕禮。
把一大片凹凸不平、光禿處處的草地，變成容易打理的人造草場，絕不容易。感謝工程的發起人，也感謝許多出錢出力的校友和師生；齊心，事成。
我的足球技術很糟，這天，居然有機會穿着整齊的隊衣和足球鞋，參加友誼賽，對手是比我年輕六載的學弟。.....
甚麼才是恆久 (區樂民 2014年09月26日) 蘋果日報 副刊 名采
黃昏，中學同學問我想不想去探望老師，我說好。
老師是一位神父，八十多歲，住在宿舍。
記得中三那年，神父教我們倫理，常常安排校園以外的訪問。第一次外訪的目的地竟是一間道教廟。
「你是天主教神父，怎會帶我們來這裏？」我問。
「因為你應該認識自己的文化。」神父微笑道。....
WYK has started a new house system with 4 houses named after famous Jesuits. They are respectively (1) Loyola (red) House; (2) Xavier (white) House; (3) Faber (blue) House; (4) Ricci (green) House. The first house meetings will be held on 15 September 2014.
To all Wahyanites and friends,
Following the selfless contributions from many alumni like you, staff, students, parents, teachers and friends of Wah Yan, the Redevelopment Project of our Football Pitch has been smoothly completed.
On behalf of the School, we would like to invite you to be our Guests to join the Blessing and Relaunch Ceremony of the Football Pitch, to be held on Saturday, 20 September 2014 at 2:00pm.
See you all at our new Football Pitch!!!
昨午5時許，有人報警指九龍華仁書院籃球場斜坡上，有一棵約10米高木棉樹突然連根拔起倒塌，約40厘米粗的樹幹把球場圍網壓毁，樹身跌入球場內，枝葉散佈四周。消防員接報到場後證實無人受傷或被困。
"We had a gathering today (20140729) to celebrate Mr. Wong Chin Wah's 95th birthday. He looked as energetic as usual. We had a good time with some retired teachers of Wah Yan Kowloon.
After the birthday lunch, we went to see Fr. Naylor. He looked OK but was a bit weak, recovering from a minor stroke. An alumnus was taking him to have a medical appointment at Kwong Wah Hospital.
I am enclosing some photos taken today ." -- Benny Wan ('81)
With the support and presence of some 30 alumni, PSA representatives, current students, parents, teachers and Fathers of the two Wah Yans, the first turf laying process has been smoothly completed this morning. Click here to see the pictures. More photos and information could be found on the School website: www.wyk.edu.hk later.
In addition, both Schools are planning to organise the official launch ceremonies of the new WYHK School Hall and the new WYK Soccer Pitch to be held on Saturday, 20 September 2014 morning and afternoon respectively.
Taking this opportunity, Fr Chow and Mr Warren Chung would like to extend their gratitude for your ardent support and thank you for your attention.
