一個喜訊! 本月九日下午四時，到依利莎伯醫院探譚SIR。午睡剛起來，看來面色透紅，精神亦好。交談近況，又以其手機顯示在院中三餐，輕鬆地解釋餐前餐後的錄影. . . 食量也不少。同聲說吃得是福。師母謂譚SIR今番入院是清清肺中積水，應無大問題。交談間還主動要與我們合照。附上照片至希代發給同學們。

(雷鼎鳴 WYHK 1969) 「華仁一家基金會」前兩天在會展搞了次「譚校長與譚校長」的籌款演唱會，七千觀眾逼爆會場，氣氛熾熱。這次演唱會一方面是為香港與九龍華仁籌款，另一方面是向行將退休的港華校長譚兆炳致敬。上半場由多位城中名人及多才多藝的校友上台表演，下半場則由譚校長譚詠麟演唱近20首經典名曲。據悉譚校長以友情價助陣，演出極度賣力，三個半小時演唱會結束前，台上數百參與表演者與湧到台下的幾千觀眾一同載歌載舞，熱鬧非凡。
稍勝一籌回報豐厚得多 參加演唱的校友雖然水準極高，個個本領非凡，但與譚校長此等專業歌手相比，當然可聽得出差別。與譚校長排練過兩天的「華仁歌王」張漢傑校友指出，譚校長的成功絕非偶然，他排練時絕對一絲不苟。譚校長自己也提到，「台上一分鐘，台下十年功」。
由“華仁一家基金會”(下稱“基金會”)舉辦的 "譚校長&譚校長”華仁一家2012音樂會已於2012年12月22日假灣仔會議展覽中心順利舉行，與會嘉賓達8千位，座無虛席。在廣大校友、家長及各界社會賢達支持下，共籌得善款超過一仟萬。(To view Youtube video 1 ; Youtube video 2; Youtube video 3) 星島日報報道 can be found here. A series of articles and videos can be found in Alan Tam's Blog.
歌壇殿堂巨星譚詠麟(“譚校長”)與華仁一家交響樂團、舊生合唱團、校友及番禺會所華仁小學合唱團共300多人的傾力演出，為觀眾帶來一個極富視聽水準、溫情關愛的晚上。譚詠麟的深情演繹令人感動，與張漢傑、方俠、吳天海、鍾尚志、曾浩輝、高世章及梁卓偉等校友同台演出，加上特別嘉賓健仔("彭建新")澎湃的結他演奏，令全場觀眾情緒高漲。譚校長在演出尾聲時更與表演者獻唱一連串金曲，向即將榮休的香港華仁書院譚兆炳校長致敬，送上真摰祝福，將整晚的氣氛推至高峰。
在這熱鬧的晚上，基金會與一眾熱心校友及各界友好，見證“華仁一家為將來”籌款活動成功突破首階段目標，籌得逾億元善款。音樂會籌委會主席袁天凡表示，基金會將會繼續秉持 "Dream of Wah Yan"的精神，展開下個籌款目標，希望能夠幫助兩所華仁繼續孕育更多有知識、肯承擔、能夠立己助人的下一代。
譚校長及各演出校友對母校及香港教育界的無私關注，彰顯了”立己助人”的華仁精神。基金會謹此再次答謝譚詠麟“譚校長”、傳媒友好、參與演出及工作的校友、老師、同學及家長，以及主贊助人Franck Muller及其他贊助人的鼎力相助。

The ceremony took place before the historical Speech Day when the cohort class of the last Form 7 and the first Form 6 had their happy day.
The Honourable Philip Lee, Lieutenant Governor of Manitoba, Canada, was the Guest of Honour.
