Greetings from the Foundation! We are very pleased to report to you that this year we had gathered 333 members in the Team, the biggest ever in the Marathon history of Wah Yan. We have also received a sum of $500,000 as donations thus far. Since we had committed to appropriate HK$1 million to the two Wah Yan Colleges to support their sport development in the next three years, we appeal to you to seek further support from your friends and peers to help us achieve this goal. Every cent counts.
Later on we will collect your official runner’s kit from the Marathon Organiser, thus please attend the final training clinic as below:

School Hall, Wah Yan College, Kowloon
* 1 – 3pm training and distribution of runner’s kit and team tee
* 3-4pm games and running tips by adidas Hong Kong

All runners should attend this session to collect their runners’ kit, without which runners cannot attend the Race on 24 February 2013. Anyone who cannot attend could only pick it up from the School office, Wah Yan College Kowloon during office hours. Should you need further info please contact Edward Yeung on 9167 9962 or Chris Li on 9803 9691. Again thank you for your support and wishing you a fruitful and happy Year of the Snake!

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.”

There are more photos on the tour in WYKPSA facebook.

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。

Yesterday, 吳天海, 饒恩賜 and 葉嘉安 of Class 1969 paid me a surprise visit at QEH. They brought along some very beautiful flowers for me. Click here for the photos."
The School would like to convey a message to all alumni that the initial response to the appeal of the Fundraising Campaign was enthusiastic.

Four new links related to the fundraising campaign have been added after the main link at the School's website frontpage www.wyk.edu.hk
