Lees really having a ball! (By Greg Yanda, The Senior, September 2012)
Mosman husband and wife Philip and Magdalen Lee (class of 1964) had high hopes of showcasing ballroom dance and the fact that seniors 'still have it' on our television screens this month.
The couple had been chosen to appear on the new Channel 10 show Everybody Dance Now, and to say they were excited would be an understatement. So news late in September of the show's cancellation was devastating.
The Lees began dancing 13 years ago. They came across ballroom dancing quite by accident and were intrigued by how it challenges the dancers both physically and emotionally.
Soon after joining a dance class, and by chance, they participated in dance group training for the Sydney Olympic Closing Ceremony and were seen by millions of people around the world.

香港（信仰通讯社）—据本社综合香港教区周刊《公教报》及耶稣会相关传媒报道，在港耶稣会正在加紧 在香港筹备申办私立大学，推广“文理教育”（又称博雅教育）。事实上，在近四百年的大学教育经验中，耶稣会早已发展出一套完备的教育理念。耶稣会已为筹备 中的大学成立班子，在香港这商业挂帅的城市提出文理教育。他们已向政府申请使用粉岭皇后山地皮建校，现仍等候当局决定。暑假的香港书展期间，耶稣会有关方 面便出版了《耶稣会教育论文集》（思维出版社；二O一二年七月）以及《卓越．全人（全三册）——耶稣会教育》（SJLACHK Foundation Limited；二O一二年七月），让人更能全面了解这所修会的办学理念，以及耶稣会在香港和不同地方的办学情况。
耶稣会在香港的办学经验，最受人注意的莫过于两间华仁书院。修会来港初期，会士多来自爱尔兰，他们服务教会的同时，亦参与不少社会服务，这身教感染了不少学生，让许多华仁毕业生在不同层面服务社会。
