WYKAAO was celebrating its 35th anniversary on Sunday October 21 at Premiere Ballroom & Convention Centre. Close to 150 alumni, family members and guests attended the event, with Rev. Peter Siu S.J. being our guest of honour. Joint-school alumni associations were very supportive with a showing of about 40 members from the community, and helping out the program by participating in karaoke singing segment. A sideshow of pictures from activities in the past 35 years was shown throughout the evening.
Alumni from classes graduated 40, 50 and 60 years ago were honoured and presented with a souvenir. Winners from an internal table tennis tournament and a World Cup soccer game were mentioned and awarded with their prizes. A ceremony of cake cutting then took place, followed by ballroom and line dancing. There were a number of happy guests collecting their prizes from lucky draws. Two cash prizes, donated by Mr. Anthony Ho, went to Alan Leong (’01) and Bianca (GHS) while Jimmy Chan (’65) scored the grand prize.
