Welcome to WYKAAO
Welcome to WYKAAO
Dear WYK1972,
We had our first organising meeting on the 17th of Jan and made the following decisions:
1. The date of the dinner event will be 13th October (Saturday) 2012. We chose October for the better weather, we also want to avoid the summer holiday and China golden week rush.
2. The venue : first choice is WYK with catering service, failing that, we will choose a venue with private function room and AV equipment.
3. There will be a one day social outing for students and family on 14th October, possibly to one of the islands of Hong Kong.
60 years ago, Wah Yan College Kowloon moved to 56 Waterloo Road and classes began in September. (... as the hammering of workmen on the exterior of the building taxed the endurance of all ...The Shield).
This is the last year the F7 students write their Hong Kong Advanced Level Examination. (香港高級程度會考)
This is the first year, the F6 students receive their Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education. (HKDSE, 香港中學文憑)
We wish the cohort of graduates all the best in the Year of Dragon. 魚躍龍門
From One Family 2012 Marathon Organising Committee, "Time flies and we are about to set out to take part in the 2012 Standard Chartered Marathon! This is the 5th year we are running, so please Gimus Five!
Our sports teams had a very fruitful 2011 in which many of you helped form a 288-runner Marathon Team, the biggest ever in the history of Wah Yan, and raised $1 million. 4 young members were among the top 10 runners in the 10Km Run 3, out of 6,000 people. The ritual of sportsmanship has indeed driven the whole Wah Yan Community to new heights.
Dear Classmates,
Nearly four years had elapsed since our 40th year after-graduation reunion, which was joyous and memorable. As agreed in our last reunion, we are now planning our 45th year reunion while we would still be capable and not too old to move around. Probably we shall still be healthy enough to celebrate in five more years later but why should we wait?
After discussion with some classmates, we decided to put up a reunion week from 30th November to 6th December 2012 so we can share some happy moments again. (The weather would be at its best in Hong Kong, yet both hotels and flights will be easier to be arranged.)
先獻上歪詩一首:
華仁師友尚難忘 憑網寄情傳各方 信是有緣今未盡 四十週年聚一堂
機緣
這次見面，勾起我對那段同學少年日子的回憶.
四十年了, 驀然回首，輕舟已過萬重山. 我跟各位有緣. 想當年，如果不是FINNERAN神父熱愛網球，我怎樣能夠認識你們這班精英。FINNERAN在南華早報看到我，叫一就讀中五的華仁仔到南華會找我來華仁讀書, 同學姓蕭. 也在南華學打球. 我把消息告訴父親，父親笑說，你點有本事讀華仁?
