(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 Cheetahs made a donation to school in memory of Fr John Moran, S.J. (1905-91) who gave them the name because they were fast in their soccer games. The plaque in the Teachers’ Common Room was unveiled on Friday, November 16, 2012. 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. Philip Lee, Class 60 and a Cheetah, advised the graduates to master their language skills to be ready for their future career goals. To make his point, he punctuated his speech with “Go Ahead” and “The Chinese Guy Did All The Talking”.

On November 22, 2012, a concert took place at the Students’ Activity Centre in Wah Yan Kowloon at 1:00 p.m. The Centre, with 100 seats, was filled to capacity on
that occasion. The performers featured were a violinist, Dr. Chun Chim (David) Leung, Associate Professor of Violin at Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota and Music Department Director of Saint Mary’s Chamber Orchestra, and a pianist, Dr. Ned Kirk, who performed and held master classes in many parts of the world, now serving as Artistic and Managing Director of the Minnesota Beethoven Festival.
