Dear Friends and Schoolmates of James Tong,
To remember and honour James Tong, we contacted Mr. Warren Chung, Principal of Wah Yan Kowloon about setting up a one-time scholarship in the name of James. We sent a public announcement to you in early November 2020 about the at Wah Yan College, Kowloon. Contributions were to be sent to Wah Yan Kowloon directly, which would be used as one-time scholarships awarded to worthy students who demonstrated academic achievement as well as resilience to hardship.
We are pleased to report that Wah Yan Kowloon collected a total of HK$40,025 by January of 2021. After carefully reviewing the applications, Mr. Chung, the school principal, and his team decided to award a scholarship in the sum of HK$7,000 to each of the six students, selected from each level of the school, that is, Form One to Form Six.

We received the sad news from Dermot’s family that he passed away peacefully on January 20 in Toronto. The funeral service and arrangements had been taken care of already by the family.
Dermot is remembered as a key member of his class year and a dedicated supporter of all activities organized by the alumni association, even with his declining health in recent years. His contributions to the association in the early formation years are well respected. He will be dearly missed in the whole Wah Yan community.
