About WYK
Wah Yan College Kowloon is an aided school with a large campus, whole-school small class teaching, a resulting above-standard staff establishment and a wide range of extra-curricular activities. However, the School receives standard rates of government grants as any other aided school, and therefore it needs additional funds to subsidize the repairs of aging school buildings, the replacement of old equipment and furniture by new ones, and educational activities of students especially those under-financed by Government and other sources. The 2012/13 school year marks the 60th anniversary of the Waterloo Road campus, and the School has launched a fundraising campaign.
WYKAAO has been a keen supporter of the campaign and has raised $11,925 HKD so far for the School. Please click the image to read the acknowledgement letter from WYK.
【蘋果日報訊】天主教新任教宗方濟昨舉行首個主日彌撒，本港同屬耶穌會的聖依納爵堂昨有數百名教徒出席，一同為方濟祈禱，祝願這位耶穌會首名教宗身體安康，期望在他領導下團結天主教。有教徒讚揚新教宗形象親切討好，「對佢好有信心」，能為貧苦大眾帶來新希望。有教友也指，由耶穌會辦學的九龍華仁一直不轉直資，正是因為耶穌會有教無類的理念。

Edmund Ho (64) of Vancourver writes,"I arrived Hong Kong yesterday and today I visited Mr. Tam in QEH. He looked weak and today he had fever, but he enjoyed my visit. Mrs. Tam was there as well.
I showed him a picture of our outdoor activity in Art Club in 1962, and immediately he called most of the students on the photo by name. He has an impressive memory. He also reviewed my very recent pastel painting. He looked at it for a long while, then he said to me,'You have come a long way in art. You are an in-born artist and you have attained a professional standard.'
His book《Examples of Understanding Hong Kong Art through Culture》is published and will be officially released this Saturday. He signed one book for me."
Dominic Chan (64) of Toronto writes,"Tam sir, many thanks in advance for your book. How are you lately? Feeling better now. Last year I picked up drawing again. This time I tried out acrylic on canvas and was planning to draw one for each of the places I visited in the past. See what you think..."

也斯喪禮，小思老師也來了，靈前致祭，肅穆哀傷，壇上悼念，情摯意真，我的眼睛有點兒潤濕了。昔日跟也斯同窗的一幕幕，清晰地盤旋眼前。半個世紀，往事豈是如煙。我們唸的是「端正」小學，正校在灣仔，分校北角，有兩處校舍，一在北角道，另一在春秧街。
WYKPSA organized a tour to Double Heaven Geo-area (香港地質公園——印洲塘景區) on January 20, 2013 and Mr. Keung Yiu Ming (75, Geography Panel Chairman) was the tour guide. Mr. Francis So, retired Geography Panel Chairman, enjoyed the tour. He writes, “… It makes me feel young as if I was one of the teaching staff leading boys on a field trip years ago before my retirement. Thank you for the invitation of WYKPSA.”
