Welcome to WYKAAO
Classmates are organizing a reunion for the Kowloon Wah Yan class of 1970 to be held on December 18th in Hong Kong. For further details, please contact the Chair of the Planning Committee
On Friday, August 20, 2010, our flight to LA was delayed for more than 2 hours. Gus was waiting to take Peter/Lana Wong and Ms Chan to San Gabriel Hilton where the Conference was held. David Ng Tai-wai (WYK 63), who was in my Form 1D class in 1959, was also at the airport to give me a ride. We met only once in Hong Kong after his graduation and he could not attend the conference. He wanted to make use of the long drive to update me on his career path. On the way, he drove me around the huge plant of Northrop Grumman Co. near the airport where he worked. At the hotel, David had to say good-bye because Patrick Young (WYK 60) from Singapore had been waiting to take me to dinner where Philip Lee (WYK 60) and the Cheetahs had been waiting.
In the August Board Meeting, we celebrated Ho Sir's birthday. We were joined by our distinguished guests, the Honourable Philip Lee (60) and his brother Robert (58). Click here to see more pictures and click here for a short video clip.
Thanks to Gus Yeung (66), we can share a few video clips taken during the Wah Yan International Conference 2010 (August 20-22) in Los Angeles. There are a few clips on the registration/reception before the Gala Dinner. We can also see the performance by Philip Lee (60) and our very own director Sonny Sie (60). Click the picture to enjoy!
Eric Li (95), one of our directors, is leaving Toronto for the Middle East to start his challenging career in the academic field. Eric has been an active oragnizer and participant of our functions since he moved to Canada back in 2008. Best wishes to him and his family! We are all eager to hear from him as he will be corresponidng to us once he settles down.

The Annual General Meeting of Way Yan One Family Foundation was held on July 28, 2010.
Here are the Chairman's Report and the audited accounts ending 31st December 2009.
[Wah Yan College Kowloon has an excellent Mathematics programme. It is because WYK has had the service of very talented Maths Head teachers. Mr. Lai Chun Pong (1971~1995) was one of them. He is residing in Australia and will be going to attend IC2010.]
"Hi, dear students, I hope you still remember me. I am Lai Sir, whom you endearingly nicknamed as “Maths Chai” since I joined Wah Yan College, Kowloon in 1971.
After working for two years as a tutor in the Department of Mathematics, the Chinese University of Hong Kong, I applied for a Maths teaching post at WYK. That year the School Principal was Fr Reid, and the Assistant Principal was Mr A Ho. Mr Ho regarded my application for a teaching post in WYK with suspicion. He found it hard to believe someone teaching in a university would be interested in applying for a teaching post in a secondary school. But at that time, he said WYK was in need of a Mathematics teacher. He gave me the job on condition that I could obtain a good testimonial from the Department Head in the Chinese University within the next couple of days. After submitting the necessary document, I joined the teaching team of WYK on 6th Sept., 1971.
